Talky Tuesday

Hey there and welcome! 

As I reheated my Red Lobster Fish and Biscuits, Rudy started dancing in the kitchen.  Guess he could smell the goodness and he wanted some.  He even begged me when I sat down at the table.  Never mind that I just fed him and he just ate.  I told him no and he wasn’t terribly happy about that.  I polished it all off despite the fact that some of it was cold.  I was hungry for it and it just didn’t matter.  It was cooked just lacking some warmth. 

I went in search of a good movie to watch and came up empty.  Nothing striking my fancy.  I watched some YouTube videos for a while to occupy time.  I saw a quiet window at 7p and opted to pick up writing a story.  Both cats were sleeping but Rudy woke up and then he wanted to play with pens and lay on the pad I was writing on.  He’s jealous of some paper and my pens.  It’s all about attention for him and hey I get it.  If I looked that cute I’d demand attention as well. 

Got in my shave and shower.  As per usual I thought my face was smooth but when I got in the shower to wash it I felt some stubble.  I hate that but just left it.  It’s not visible and even if it was no one is going to see me until the weekend so it won’t matter. 

Watched a political talk show before bed and that just reminded me of the crap state our country is in.  The orange man is going to fuck it all up and it doesn’t seem like there is anyone that is able to totally stop him.  Each day brings more news of what he’s done and honestly I think it’s way more than the average person can take or even comprehend.  We see what he’s doing but what isn’t he showing us.  It’s got to be an illusion to distract us from something else going on out of site, at least that is what I think.  Who knows for sure?  Not me.  I am not a fan of politics real world, office or otherwise.  They bring out the worst in people. 

To help calm me down and get me ready for bed I took in a couple more episodes of Night Court.  That did the trick and I was out.  I also had the bed all to myself which is very rare.  I almost didn’t know how to act that I was able to actually get comfortable.  I woke up with Rudy in bed and then on top of me.  He had to make sure I didn’t oversleep and this was the first morning I remembered to turn off the alarm clock. 

I got some Apple Fritters from Target and had put them on the table Sunday when I got home.  Rudy thought they were a play toy and was on the table to knock them to the floor and bat them all around.  Thankfully they were in a plastic protective case that was Rudy proof.  Well I had one of them this morning and as it warmed in the microwave Rudy started doing his begging dance.  That cats nose works almost too good.  Nice try but he didn’t get any.  It was delicious and I’ve got 3 more where that one came from. 

On the work front after my shower last night I heard my little voice say check your phone.  There won’t be anything there but you will have peace of mind.  Okay so I gave in and damn if there wasn’t something urgent waiting for me.  I was all set to relax and had to jump back into work mode.  Thankfully I wasn’t working all that long. 

My meeting yesterday got cancelled and it was pretty much a calm day and semi-boring day.  I’ve got 2 meetings today and am hoping for the same calm and semi-boring day.  Then a more relaxing evening. 

Here’s hoping your doing well and warm.  Take care!

Fantastic Friday

Hey there … there’s nothing terribly special about today other than we finally made it to another Friday!  I love and live for the weekends or any time away from work.  I’m the happiest on the weekend, more so on Saturday though. 

Started watching the second season of The Night Agent on Netflix.  BTW I’ve seen a couple things on-line that there is a price increase coming.  Just in case your a subscriber like me keep your eye out.  I’ve not gotten any formal notice from Netflix as of now.  This is pretty good series.  Episodes are an hour each and I am only half way on the 3rd episode.  I opted to pause it and pick back up today rather than continuing to watch as I drifted off to sleep. 

Got in both play and cuddle time with both cats last night.  Both were extra vocal with me at different points in the evening.  They both tag teamed me to pass out treats early as they gave me “the look” and nothing like guilt to compel me to give in.  I can and have said no to both of them but it depends on their request.  Both have learned how to finagle me into giving up and giving them what they want.  However, there are times that no matter what they do I won’t give in.  Begging at the table is a prime example.

Yesterday was one of those work days that just lingered.  I had occasional spring to action requests but for the most part I was left alone.  Although when I tried to catch a nap at lunch time I was pestered consistently giving more credibility to my theory that my phone knows what I am up to.  I anticipate today to by much of the same and I am savoring and enjoying my down time, wishing that it could last a little longer like another month.  Nothing wrong with dreaming it’s free!

The clicking in my neck sadly continues today.  It drove me crazy yesterday and I figured with a pillow adjustment that a good nights sleep would fix things.  However, I was wrong.  I broke out the massager this morning and ran it over my neck.  That helped a little bit but still a head turn equals a pop.  It doesn’t hurt it’s just annoying.  Kind of like my knees that pop and creek when I use the stairs.  They have done that since I was a kid and it is just something I have gotten used to. 

It’s been a few days since I wrote about my cyst.  It’s still hanging on but has deflated a bit.  It bothers me the most when I first wake up but once I get going things are okay.  There is still a mass or lump and it hurts if I press on it but it’s gotten a lot less sensitive.  It’s on my list of things to mention to the doctor when I see him late next month. 

Now on to a more touchy subject.  Politics.  I’ve been watching as I am sure the rest of America and the world has as The Donald has been in office.  It’s no surprise to me that his approval rating has dropped from when he was elected to now that he is in power.  He is putting on his usual shock and aw show.  Which makes me wonder what he is trying to distract us from focusing on that he is doing while all of the shock and aw is going on.  I’m no fan of his and never have been.  I do think that when his term is up that it might take two presidential terms, if not longer to fix everything that he manages to fuck up.  I think that America is headed for FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition) status now that he is in power.  One of my favorite journalist Rachel Maddow is back on the air for the first 100 days of Trumps term.  I’ve been watching her nightly and it has been nothing short of scary to see and hear all of the things that The Donald has done thus far.  I hope that the majority of those in power are able to keep their sanity as well as us citizens and we can all get through this together.  I’m glad my late spouse is not alive to see all of this BS.  These truly are different and strange times we are living in!

Now that it’s warmed up a bit during the day time, I am thinking of traveling to that Mexican place by the office tomorrow.  I’ve been craving their salsa and chips for the longest time.  Not to mention the food.  I’ve got to make a cat food run for sure tomorrow.  Also thinking of getting up early and having a quick breakfast bite out and then going to see my friends, haven’t been to the shop since last year.  Largely plan to loaf and relax tomorrow.  Sunday I am thinking of heading to Red Lobster.  Craving some Clam Chowder which I get infrequently.  I last enjoyed it two years ago.  Planning is fun but it’s better to see what happens in reality and if I can make my plans actually happen.

I hope that you have an enjoyable weekend and can stay healthy & warm.  Take good care of you!
