Guy Candy – Summer Loving

Tuesday

Morning … hope all is well.  I got a good nights sleep but Rudy was very eager to get out of bed this morning.  He had me up at 4am and then 5am and by 6am I wound up just rolling over and kept an eye on the time.  I got up 15 minutes early.  Had some Peanut Butter Captain Crunch cereal.  It was like eating air to me, I wanted to devour the whole box.  It was good but just not really filling.  I added in a Banana and a Chocolate Donut.  Still felt like eating more but I pushed myself away and got on with the morning. 

Rather than just slave away at work to try to beat a deadline I have opted to move in a slow fashion just getting a couple things per day knocked out.  If I keep up the pace all week long I will be in very good shape by the end of the week.  I got a routine going and wanted to keep going but better to pace myself.  This will give me more down time and hopefully prevent mistakes. 

Mora got my leg last night, even though I had sweatpants on one of her rear claws dug in and really scratched me.  I just felt the pain and it felt like it was an open gaping wound but just a minor scratch.  I put some alcohol on it and wow that hurt.  Then I coated it with triple antibiotic ointment.  Rudy wanted to lick that off my leg but I wouldn’t have it.  I managed to make it to bed with the ointment still in place.  It looks way better this morning.  I put on more ointment and hope that we can bypass the itchy phase when it starts to heal up more. 

It was a peaceful evening, which I wasn’t expecting but glad that it worked out that way.  I kept my laptop powered on to hopefully chase away any issues and sometimes that works.  I will be trying the same thing again tonight, so wish me luck. 

It’s another hot day here.  Saw a cute shirtless guy running last night past the house.  I was cat calling him from the living room but he never heard a word I said.  Nothing like a little excitement.  I hope he comes by again tonight. 

Stay cool, hydrated and have a good day.  I’ll talk with you all again soon. 

Hell Week

Morning hope that you had a nice weekend.  I’ve got no idea who the nice looking fellow above is but thought I’d share him with you all this morning and hopefully that will make today just a little better. 

The weekend was nice.  I turned off work email on my phone and my phone was damn near silent all weekend long.  I did get the occasional notification and email from a mailing list but no calls.  I savored it and now that It’s Monday and I am back on-call I wish that I could rewind to yesterday. 

Saturday morning I got up a little later than I wanted, took a shower and hit up fast food for breakfast.  Not bad for what I got.  Then went to visit my friend to see about lunch, which was a no go.  I did get my car service scheduled though.  We chatted and caught up a little bit.  Then he had to run, they were short staffed and calls were starting to pour in.  I came back home and relaxed for the bulk of the day.  I made it back out later in the afternoon for a haircut.  Damn this hot looking college kid came out from getting his hair cut.  I looked at him and said damn.  He flexed for me and smiled and winked at me.  I was hoping he’d come talk to me when he was done paying but instead he left.  I just looked him up and down.  Wow I could have easily gone home with him.  Of course it was a Blond boy.  Got my hair cut and then grabbed the mail.  Back home and rested for a while.  I went back out for supper to a local pizza place but this time for pasta.  I got a good meal for not much money.  That was the end of my travels for the day. 

Sunday woke up early, got moving and got to breakfast.  Three local college kids came walking in and two of them were extra fine.  The sat behind me.  Two of them complained they had dates later in the afternoon and didn’t want to go.  The third guy had a date setup for early this morning.  Not exactly sure if they meant date as in going out or date as in something else.  I was getting full and paid my bill and left.  I had to come home, I was just stuffed so much that it would have been agony to go to the grocery store.  I watched some TV with the cats and we got in a quick nap.  Then later in the morning I headed out to the grocery store.  Got everything I needed.  Back home.  I didn’t want to play with the line that had formed at the gas station and I have a 1/2 tank which says it will get me 200 miles so that’s good enough for me.  I came home and unloaded the groceries.  Spent the remainder of the day at home.  Worked on laundry and getting the trash out.  Mostly loafed and surfed social media. 

I dread this week because it’s the last full week before my vacation starts.  Plus I am on-call.  Next week I will only have to work 3 days and then vacation starts for me on Thursday.  This week there is so much to do and I thought about just jumping today and trying to crank out as much as possible.  Today is probably the last day that I can coast.  I need some additional information to come in before I can really get busy so I have opted to coast today.  I’m a little nervous but I am confident that everything will come together.  It’s going to be hell but I am confident that everything will come together. 

Saw the best movie on Friday night, Cocaine Bear.  It’s on Amazon Prime, free for Prime Members.  I haven’t laughed so much at a movie in quite a long time.  Mora & Rudy aren’t used to hearing me chuckle so much and I woke them up from their naps more than once.  There is some gore in the movie but it’s not a horror film.  I wanted to see it in the theater when it came out but am glad that I waited because watching it at home was way better.  I saw Red, White & Royal Blue last weekend it too was really good.  There was and still is a lot of buzz online about that one.  Very well done movie. 

Time for me to get back to the not so fun tasks at work.  Hope that it’s a great day for you.  Talk with you all when I can.  Stay hydrated and cool, that heat is making a come back.  I am inside freezing in the basement but it beats overheating any day.  I can always warm up by heading upstairs.  Mora & Rudy will be all to happy to serve as portable heaters for me! 

Charlie Puth’s Lipstick

  Charlie Puth – Lipstick Video

 

Good Morning!  Look at Charlie Puth in that photo.  I saw this yesterday on Social Media yesterday afternoon.  He was promoting his new video Lipstick that is now live.  You can watch the video below.  He’s shirtless in those leather pants and if your into arm pits you’ll get to see those as well.  He’s apparently working on his next album and this is one of the tracks that will be on it.  He’s starting to get more an more sexual as time moves on.  He’s smart in that sex sells to everyone.  Showing off his body is a great way to pull in the most people.  You don’t have to do that all the time but if you tease it and work it right, people will be on the edge of their seats and just waiting for that shirt to come off and who knows maybe he will drop his pants too.  I know I am not the only guy that wants to see what he’s packing.  He’s already showed off his nice ass. 

Watch Charlie’s new video Lipstick here …

In other news not a whole lot going on here.  Things started to slow down yesterday afternoon.  Then just late in the day more work just randomly starting pouring in.  I am waiting for a project to kick off so I can pitch in and help out before I head out on vacation.  Thus far I am just tapping my fingers and waiting.  I’ll almost bet you that I will have to work a day or a weekend because this damn project will start at the last minute.  There is a lot to be done in a short period of time and I don’t want to leave my co-worker hanging and holding the ball, all though if the shoe was on the other foot he certainly would leave me high and dry, or so I think.  I don’t plan on testing that theory. 

I’ve decided that I will probably be taking a second week of vacation just not sure when at this point.  Also I am planning on putting in for the 3 days of Thanksgiving week.  I mean why not, most of the office will be out and who really wants to work for 3 days.  I may change my mind but right now that is my plan. 

I did some additional looking yesterday at vehicles and crunched numbers again using a different auto loan calculator.  Unless I want to part with some of my reserve cash right now it doesn’t make sense to buy.  I saw a comparable used car that had the same amount of files but it had less features than mine and they were selling it for $19 thousand.  Car Max said they would give me $17 thousand for mine as is.  I’m sure I could get a dealer to match that.  The numbers I used didn’t factor in any kind of discount that I would get and it used actual numbers for my states sales tax which was higher than I anticipated.  Damn taxes and fees.  Unless something goes south my plan as of this moment in time is to keep what I have and wait.  I really want to make the move next year if I can hold off. 

I also figured out that I scheduled my Facial and Massage on a Tuesday, that’s the day the buffet has their Taco Bar.  I don’t know if I will feel good enough to make it there but I know I will certainly try.  It’s a long drive but as long as I am not too sore or tired I think I can do it.  After all I will have all damn day and I’ve got nothing going the day after by design because I figure after resting I will be really sore the next day.  The knots and tightness in my back is no joke.  I heard a rumor at work that our massage therapist might be coming back.  I hope that is the case because she is very affordable, uses everything she can including rocks to work out knots and doesn’t charge extra.  Try getting that at your local spa for no extra charge, good luck. 

I got a really good nights sleep.  Rudy was raring to go and I got out of bed a half hour early.  Both cats seemed happy about that.  They were hungry.  I have a bit more energy at the moment, not sure how long that will last since I polished off the last jelly donut with the breakfast of cereal.  I had a half hour to kill and spent it with the cats.  Got to give Mora a nice long belly rub.  She showed me those claws making air biscuits.  I got to trim those claws tonight she is really marking me up.  I got another new scratch and damn it itches like crazy. If I scratch it yeah it will feel good but it will also break open the scab that formed and then we get to start the healing process all over again.

Going to see a friend tomorrow to make arrangements for car service and to see if I can arrange lunch for the two of us on the Friday before my birthday.  I don’t expect any issues but hey that’s why I am doing this early so I can adjust if need be.  Might even wake up early enough to have breakfast out.  A Sausage & Cheese Omelet sounds good with French Fries or maybe some fresh fruit.  Fries would be included fruit costs $2 extra.  Eating the healthier option always costs more I don’t get it. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great Friday for you and that you have a great weekend ahead.  Stay cool and hydrated that heat is making a come back.  Take care I will talk with you again soon.

Twink Thursday

    Good Morning and Happy Twink Thursday.  It sounded good to me, hope you like it!  Not certain of the model in the photo but he trips my trigger. 

Nothing much happening here.  I had the 1/2 of the Chicken Fajita Burrito last night.  It was okay but the chicken just didn’t pair well with everything else.  Not sure if I will finish the other 1/2 or throw it out.  Has some Vanilla Hagen Daz as a snack a bit later, it was very good.  I know vanilla is basic but it hits the spot for me. 

The cats were normal and Mora sought out her usual amount of over attention.  No question they are both happy here.  I had to wake Rudy up when it was cat nip time.  He just sat looked dazed as I passed out cat nip to Mora.  I walked over and let him sniff the jar, that woke him right up.  Then he wanted his fair share, which I gave him. 

The day was busy after lunch but we got in a morning nap, which was nice.  I had a quick lunch and then came back just before the work started really pouring in.  I was exhausted and I sat down to watch that hot 4 way seen I spoke of last week on Colby Knox, damn if I didn’t fall asleep in the middle of it.  I was all interested and then bam out of no where I just passed right out.  Looks like I will have to rewind it.  When I woke up I just gave up and went to bed, it was for the best.  It was within my normal bedtime range, I allow an hour to wind down from 9p to 10p then after that it’s lights out.  Normally if I go to bed before 10p I wake up during the night.  I did wake up just to use the bathroom, then back to bed.  My body just craved the sleep and that along with food, men and my cats are my loves in life. 

I did jump back on a dating app a couple days ago.  Some familiar faces but lots of new guys.  Thus far no matches.  I’ve liked a couple guys but haven’t heard anything back.  Modern apps are nice and convenient to get things started but they can work against you as well as working for you.  I don’t have high hopes for actually meeting anyone and still have serious doubts if that will ever happen.  I’m not writing it off but it’s up there on the seems impossible list. 

Today is a wide open day.  I’ve got a call in a bit with a vendor and after that the rest of my day has nothing planned.  That doesn’t mean nothing will come up or require my attention but I am hoping not.  I had a bright idea of getting started to help myself out on the large project I have to babysit when I return from the office there is a large data entry piece that goes with it.  Normally, that part of the work isn’t done until the physical work is done by the vendor.  I have already tested to see that I can do it but for some damn reason I feel very lazy today and really honestly don’t care much about work at all.  Call it quiet quitting or just being lazy, I think if I am given the chance I am going to sit on my ass and do as much of nothing as possible.  Just soak it up because soon enough I will be on fire and jumping through hoops again.  I call it enjoying the calm. 

I did look last night at vehicles on the web.  Of course I found something I am in love with, which always seems to happen when I go looking.  I have no idea if it’s still available or not.  I really want to pull the trigger and last night I was convinced that I was going to be moving forward.  Buying it either the day before or the day of my birthday.  Never have done that before.  This morning now that I have given it some though I am asking myself is it really the smart and right thing to do.  There are many positives to it but the downside is that I wouldn’t have all of the extra cash to tuck away that I had planned on.  For sure if I don’t buy this year I will buy next year.  It’s just a gamble or a roll of the dice.  What I have is moving along fine but hell you never know when a gremlin will rear it’s ugly head.  Still tossing that one around.  The devil on my shoulder says do it, you deserve it and it’s what you want.  The angel says hang on to what you go, tuck the money away and buy next year.  I hate back and forth battles like this.  I’m still talking with my mechanic friend and I know that no one can make the final decision but me. 

Here’s hoping that you can enjoy the calm in your day.  Take care and thanks for stopping by. 

Exhausted

Morning … Last night when I got home I was wiped out.  I didn’t have the supper I planned.  Instead I wound up eating a slice of Carrot Cake and having a soda.  I surfed social media and saw that Theo Brady & Jack Waters were scheduled to be on Fleshbot Live.  The host was Alexander.  I’m used to seeing him out Out TV so I fired that up and watched live, of course that show wasn’t on Out TV it was on Fleshbot’s website.  By the time I figured out what was going on the show was over.  I wasn’t happy about that.  It’s was supposedly audio recorded but this morning I am not finding it just yet.  I might have to wait a few days.  I really like Theo he’s hot and has been on my list of favorites for a long time.  Jack is younger and newish to Porn but he’s hot as well.  Always interested in interviews and podcast type content when it comes to gay porn stars. 

I watched some YouTube videos and had lots of cuddle time with the cats.  Mora of course was first and got the most with a couple of repeat trips.  Rudy was happy with just one trip and some petting.  They got their treats and cat nip.  Before I finally went to bed. 

I turned in super early and just took my regular dose of sleeping medicine.  Damn I was out like a light by 9:30p.  I fell asleep with no cats in the bed.  I woke up around 2 or 3, both of them were curled up next to my head.  I got up to use the bathroom, they stayed in place.  It wasn’t until I got back that I realized they were both there.  They left as soon as I laid back down but I went right back to sleep.  Rudy woke me up around 5a and I just rolled over and went back to sleep.  6a he was at it again.  I laid in bed and milked it as long as I could finally at 6:45a I got up and got moving.  Both cats were in the kitchen at the same time, apparently they were starving.  They had dry food out but I’m the sucker who got them used to wet food.  I don’t think they had it before but I know they never had it at the shelter.  It’s not cheap but then again neither is Science Diet Dry Food.  Anyway, they ate.  Mora got in her cuddle time with dad and a belly rub.  Rudy was just chillin on my bed about to doze off. 

Now that I’ve described that a nap sure sounds good but it’s still early.  One very long meeting is all that I have remaining on the books for today.  Then I am free for the rest of the day, unless something comes up.  I of course have to watch the phone.  However, I am not tied to my computer unless things get busy. 

Since it looks like I will need to be in the office for 4 days when I get back I plan to soak up as much down time as I can.  That won’t be a party and I can tell you for certain that it will wipe me out.  I will sleep good for those days but damn they will all be very long days and driving in rush out traffic on the way home, yuck.  No thanks.  I had someone in the office yesterday offer to help out so that I didn’t have to hike over all 4 days but if something goes wrong and I am not there, it won’t bode well for me.  However, I am still considering taking them up on their offer. 

Right now my focus is on the weekend, relaxing as much as I can and getting ready for my time off.  Still thinking about a new ride just for the peace of mind aspect and having a warranty to fall back on.  I really do want to take a break from car payments to build up my reserve.  Thinking of just paying off the balance of the existing loan to jump start that process.  Not exactly sure what I want to do.  I’ll be seeking advice from my mechanic friend and I’m sure I probably won’t like what he tells me in that what your driving still has a lot of life left and it’s in good shape.  I don’t need anyone’s permission to make a move, other than to arrange for financing before I visit the dealer, no loan means no new car.  I don’t have that much money laying around. 

Well I think I am going to take a break and go watch some TV and relax with the cats.  Hopefully, my phone isn’t watching and my action doesn’t attract calls or cause me to have to come back to the computer until it’s closer to my meeting time. 

Hope you have a great day.  Happy Hump Day!

Hung Over Tuesday

Howdy again and welcome to the second day in the week.  I wanted to ensure a good nights sleep, so I took two sleeping pills.  I was in bed by 9:30pm and on my way to sleepy town.  They kicked in fast.  I wanted to watch porn but that just wasn’t an option.  For the life of me I can’t wake up this morning.  It’s 11a and I am still yawning, despite being up and out of bed 5 minutes before 6a.  I moved like a knife through hot butter, had breakfast, got a shower, got dressed, packed my lunch, and was out the door.  I even ate Belvita Biscuits to help give me some energy but nothing.  Had my usual Diet Mt. Dew on the way to work as well.  Maybe after I have lunch I will wake up or that might just be enough for the food coma to wipe me out. 

I did get the service call setup so I am stuck waiting her on the tech and can’t leave until he does.  I got a wide window from noon to 4p.  I hope that he’s here by 2p.  I really want to get out of here and back home. 

I checked on Mora and Rudy, they are both on the couch.  Mora is in the pet bed all passed out.  Rudy is passed out on the cushion that I usually sit on.  Glad they aren’t in the bedroom and are getting some sunlight.  Just wish I was. 

Got a few sprinkles on the way in and it was kind of dark out at times, enough that my headlights kicked on.  Had some lovely person on my back bumper that I wanted to break check but just held my speed which was 72 in a 55.  That was on an exit ramp.  He flew by me as soon as we got off the exit ramp.  Guess someone was late. 

The oddest thing happened to me though while I was working away.  My iPhone got stuck on a black screen.  Nothing I did would wake it up.  I looked up a fix online for a soft reset and that did the trick.  Now I am scared the phone is going to stop working on me.  What caused me to notice it was the two factor push I needed to acknowledge to get into a system here at work.  I called from my desk to my cell and just got voice mail.  Very strange.  It’s back to working and hopefully it stays that way.  I’d like a new phone but when I want to get it and not to be forced into it.  The phone isn’t that old. 

I polished off all of the pizza that was left over last night.  Tonight’s dinner is a Chicken Fajita Burrito.  Something the grocery store made  It sounded good so I figured I would give it a try.  I will probably break it down to two meals but won’t know that for certain until I start eating it.  Here’s hoping that I get some zest and energy or a nap and can recharge.  Either is okay so long as the nap part doesn’t happen while I am driving home. 

Have a great day!  Talk with you all again soon. 

 

Nice Weekend–Pizza & Guys

Welcome back on a Monday.  I know I am not terribly excited about today either.  The weekend was good.  I got cat food, the mail and went for a short drive on Saturday.  I was also able to sleep in and lounge around the house.  Very nice!  Sunday, I got up a little later than normal, only by 30 minutes.  I got the cats fed, dressed and out the door.  Had breakfast, hit up Target, Grocery Store and filled up the gas tank.  Then home to put it all away.  I thought for sure I had everything.  I made a list but went from memory.  Of course I forgot two things.  One I wrote down and the other I forgot to write down.  I got some laundry and writing done.  Cleaned the house, filled up the water fountain for the cats and went out for pizza and saw some hot guys. 

It’s a new place that I started going to months back.  The host who is also a waiter reminds me of a younger version of Chandler from Corbin Fisher.  He’s tall and got some large balls.  They get to wear shorts so you can kind of take a sneak peak of things a little better than with jeans.  I saw another waiter who was young and cute.  I would have loved to have either of them or both of them in my bed.  There was a couple with a very new born kid, they were older.  Most likely the grandparents of the kid.  He was so tiny.  Something spoke to me and I wound up paying their bill.  I also broke the news to them before I left.  That is one of my favorite things to do.  I don’t have a ton of money but doing something nice for someone else just gives me a huge thrill.  The waiter that was taking care of them said that no one has ever done that before for a table he was taking care of.  I imagine not a lot of people pick up a strangers check at a pizza place.  It was my first time too.  I normally do that at breakfast. 

Drove home in one hell of a rain storm.  I could see okay but it was slightly difficult.  The rain was really coming down.  Lots of people had their flashers on.  I just kept with our state law and had my lights on along with my wipers.  Slow and steady.  You would have to be flying to not see the car in front of you.  It wasn’t a white out condition but I can see where people would or could panic.  I got behind a couple of people driving really slow.  I wound up passing them.  It took me a little longer to get home but I made it safe and sound. 

Rudy managed to claw me a couple times this weekend so I whacked his claws yesterday.  The bastard tried to bite me but I let him know that wasn’t going to happen.  Mora is just waiting with caution because she knows she is next.  They both got to come downstairs with me when I was working on laundry, just once.  They were over the moon about that.  I like to see their faces light up, it brings me so much joy.  They are good cats, just have a lot of energy bursts and honestly I am too tired to play.  Mora works me every night for cat nip still.  I pass it out like it’s medication.  Treats come first and then about an hour later it’s cat nip time. 

I managed to nod off while watching porn.  However, when I woke up I didn’t want to go to bed.  I wound up staying up late and writing in my room, with a lantern on low.  The cats weren’t happy but after two hours, I was tired and I went to bed.  Slept okay for the most part.  Woke up early and got the day started. 

I’m trying to arrange a service call with a vendor at work for tomorrow.  I called on Friday but still waiting to hear back.  I called again this morning and was told yeah, I’ll call the service manager now and she will call you right back.  Well that was over 15 minutes ago and I’m not holding my breath.  Hopefully they don’t send someone out because they will be turned away unless they are on the visitor list and presently they are not.  I also found out that the project my boss wound up forking money out for has finally been scheduled for the day after I return from vacation.  Not only that but now instead of a 3 day project they will need the entire week.  I know originally they planned to start at 6a but I don’t know the schedule now and am trying to get that spelled out.  Looks like I will be going into the office for 4 days straight.  Not looking forward to that at all. 

I got the recall notice for my car and just scheduled repairs for that while I am on vacation.  The letter said the dealer would have the parts on hand.  The dealer said they had to order the parts.  Just love the misinformation.  The repair takes about an hour and I’ll be sitting there waiting for it.  I did look on-line and do some number crunching this morning.  Looks like a new vehicle is affordable for me and I’d kind of like it as the ultimate birthday present but I am honestly just about out of car payments and really looking forward to that.  For now I am resisting but I may give in as we get closer.  I haven’t made the physical trip to the dealer to see anything in person but that might happen.  Mine still has 59,500 miles on it and counting.  It’s 6 years old and very well taken care of.  No warranty coverage though.  That and adding new features as well as having remote functionality would be my reasons for buying.  What I want is smaller than what I have.  My engine is broken in and I am just now starting to get good gas mileage.  I also really hate to give that up.  I’ve had new car fever for years and years, it’s not going anywhere but it will flare up now and then.  If I don’t buy this year then next year for sure will be the year I make the move, at least that is the preliminary plan. 

Hope that you had a nice weekend and that this week is full of some pleasant moments.  If that dumb vendor ever calls me back and we can work out something for tomorrow I plan to go in.  I never look forward to that because I have to get up early.  The drive in isn’t bad but I loathe the drive home.  I hope that it all comes together like I want.  As for this other project after vacation I really hope that it falls apart but I don’t for see that happening because we have been waiting for months for parts and they just came in.  Plus were holding the other half of the payment until the project is complete and the vendor I am sure wants their money.  I am just not excited about this at all.  My boss however is dripping with joy and very excited.  Please Lord help me through this.  Vacation is something I look forward to but returning not so much, especially when there is stress looming and I know about it well in advance. 

Take care, talk with you all again soon!

First Facial

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday!  I’ve got some vacation time planned a couple days before my birthday and then the entire week afterwards.  I really thought about going to Hawaii or taking a trip to somewhere but since I got the cats I kept waffling do I or don’t I.  No surprise, I am not going anywhere.  Given that I am their 3rd owner I didn’t want them to think that I was leaving them and would never return.  Yeah they would probably adjust while I was gone but then there is that added cost of boarding and it just seemed easier to stay home. 

I’ve got a semi-busy week planned for myself.  Seeing the doctor a couple days before I turned a year older, trying to get together with a friend for lunch the day before and work in an oil change in the same day.  The weekend is for resting.  The following week that Monday is Labor Day.  Tuesday I booked my first ever professional facial and after that I get a deep tissue massage for 90 minutes.  That combo is going to be a little costly but hey if it makes me feel better and maybe look a little better why not.  I booked the massage and the facial was an after thought.  I’ve done at home facials before but I think I will get a better benefit from the professional touch.  Wednesday is a day of rest and I expect that I will be really sore and won’t want to do a damn thing.  Thursday I see the eye doctor for my annual exam.  The only thing left to work in is the recall work on my vehicle that I just got sent.  I plan to call on Monday to see if I can squeeze that in while I am off.  It’s amazing what you can cram into a week.  Now that I have given you this little word puzzle, can you tell me what day my birthday is without peeking at past years posts? 

I know that after having a bunch of time off I will NOT want to go back but Monday, September 11th is scheduled to be my first day back.  I’ve got plenty of time left so it’s possible that I will take some additional time.  Most likely in the Winter around holidays.  Then again if I meet a guy maybe there will be a trip in my future.  Fingers crossed, but I won’t hold my breath.  I don’t look or feel really that well when I turn blue like a Smurf. 

Last night was a quiet night and outside of tending to the cats, primarily Mora I was able to get some writing in.  I did have a chance to try the OCR conversion software.  It made a word document but it was all in my handwriting and not all of what I wrote came over.  Thankfully, it was a trial version so I didn’t commit any money.  I have since removed it and resumed hand typing.  I have the computer read it back to me and I make corrections and edits.  I am happy to say that I have 3 stories transcribed and saved.  Since your reading this just curious if I would publish them is anyone interested in reading them?  I am mulling over the possibility of sharing them, that is kind of a turn on for me.  In the end the final call is up to me but once the preverbal cats is out of the bag there is no going back.  That’s why I am taking my time with the decision. 

I was up twice last night.  Once from a bad dream to use the bathroom.  Don’t really remember that much from the dream, it’s fuzzy.  The other one got me up at 5a when in my dream I went to squish a bug that was on the wall with my foot and my leg cramped up.  Yeah, that will get me up in a hurry.  It hurt and normally I scream like a little girl but this time I was oddly quiet.  I didn’t even get up out of bed I was able to make it go away with flexing my foot.  However, when I did finally get up my calf muscle was sore.  My grandfather used to get the same thing, he called them Charlie Horses.  He said that he was low in quinine and that eating grapefruit was the cure, plus he took some kind of doctor prescribed pill and the two fixed the issue.  I can’t eat grapefruit because I am on a statin but pink grapefruit sounds good or even pink grapefruit juice.  Haven’t had that in forever. 

I’ve been up since 5a and sat in my room watching TV.  When 7a rolled around and it was time to get moving, that’s when I was oddly ready to go back to bed.  Where was that feeling 15 minutes after I woke up?  I told the cats that I believed a nap was in our future.  Here’s hoping that if/when that happens my phone closes it’s eyes as well so I am not bothered.  Not a whole lot going on today but still have to keep a watch on things, you never know when trouble will strike. 

I hope you have a great day and weekend.  Talk with you all again soon, be well!

Twink Thursday

 Jake Preston from MEN.COM

Happy Thursday.  I got bothered a bit more than I wanted to last night with work.  It started when I put my dinner in the microwave and stepped away to take my medicine.  I heard the phone chirp.  I logged in and took care of the issue.  Then ate and hoped for the best but as I was moving my laptop from the kitchen to the living room the phone went off again.  Took care of the issue and figured that would be the last call, silly me.  I shutdown and went back to writing.  Ten minutes later I had to stop again and deal with something.  This time I figured the cure all was to leave my laptop on and logged in.  An hour and a half went by and then I put it away.  That whole leave it on to ward away the calls thing, worked.  It’s not the first time but it doesn’t always work out that way. 

I got in quality cuddle time with both cats.  Plus they each got brushed.  Rudy was long overdue for a brushing.  He just lapped it up and even switched sides for me.  His face was all smiles and you could see that he was really loving it.  Mora enjoyed her brushing as well but not as long as her brother and she likes it until she doesn’t.  They both still try to chew on the brush.  We had some fun.  Mora let me know when we were 10 minutes away from treat time.  Then she let me know when she wanted her cat nip and she really paces and gets obstinate when you ignore her on that.  Treats not so much but cat nip oh don’t mess with that.  I passed that out and finished writing.  Then time for bed. 

Sleeping last night wasn’t all that bad.  I did wake up again early this time at 5am.  Managed to fall back asleep for an hour.  I woke up to turn over and Rudy really wanted to get up.  I got him to settle down but there was no going back to sleep for me.  I laid there with my eyes closed.  When I finally opened them we had 15 minutes to go and it would have been time to get up, so I opted to roll out of bed early.  However, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Rudy’s butt right in my face.  I gave him a light tap and he sprang to life.  We had a little bit of cuddle time and he made some more biscuits. 

It was nothing but fog soup outside.  We had breakfast and Rudy gobbled up most of the food but he did leave some for his sister.  She is just a bit too polite and allows him to eat more than she does, but yet she is the one who is bigger.  I don’t get it.  Having some time to waste, I cuddled with Mora before having to come downstairs and start my day.  Both cats are back to escorting me to the basement.  They think that I will let them in, at least there is that glimmer of hope.  I actually almost gave in to Mora this morning.  I hate closing the door on her with that face just looking so sad saying please, pretty please. 

No sooner than I sat down to get started with my day, both cats were running around upstairs and it sounds like they are trying to tear the place down.  They get pretty aggressive with each other.  Now it’s all quiet and calm, as their food comas kick in and they nap, while lurking at the top of the steps waiting for me to immerge.  One of them always takes lookout duty, while the other one hides close by.  They are really quite a team.

Here’s hoping for a better day.  Now I have to go work on some stupid report that I hate putting together.  It’s easy but it’s just a pain.  Excel, numbers, graphs and percentages.  Yuk, then it goes to upper management which is a double yuk from me.  I hate standing in the spotlight.  I hope that I can spend a bit more time upstairs than downstairs today and that when the day is done, the day is truly done.  Wishful thinking but hey it doesn’t cost a thing, anyone can wish or dream no charge.  The possibility's are endless. 

Here’s hoping your dreams come true today and that it’s a great day for all.  Take care and thanks again for stopping by!
