Man Candy - Hot Stuff

The right call

Morning … Much to my surprise late yesterday afternoon I got word that our office would be closed today due to the impending weather.  I can’t recall that I ever saw anyone give forethought to the weather and announce a closing ahead of weather arriving.  It’s usually during the weather event or long after.  Now if I only was hourly I’d have the day off.  From what the forecasters are saying the morning commute is fine.  It’s around 9 or 10a that the weather will start and that’s when things will change.  I can think of a lot of places that I’d like to be stuck but in the office isn’t one of them.  Based on what I am hearing now sounds like 1 to 3 inches of general ick which is made up of snow, sleet and freezing rain.  It’s gonna be super sloppy and slick.  Then were headed back to the deep freeze for a bit.

Things are off to a slow start at work, there are a few things going on but for the most part it’s all quiet at the moment.  There was a huge rush yesterday while I was at lunch and I came back early to catch up.  It was a very busy afternoon that went by in the blink of an eye.  I had a few moments where I thought I was going to loose my mind because I kept jumping between tasks to keep my stellar reputation.  It was madness and looking back on it now a little bit of fun.  Got one meeting today and as per usual I don’t look forward to it, just general yapping most of it by the boss.  Hopefully, it will be quick. 

Had another plate of fried chicken and tonight I will run out of mashed potatoes.  The coleslaw is running light and as per usual I can never get enough of it.  There will be a couple pieces of chicken left and I might just eat them cold rather than have the fight with Rudy.  This is some good eating but I am slowly starting to grow tired of it but I sure am getting my monies worth. 

Watched St. Denis Medical last night along with a couple episodes of the original Night Court and some You Tube videos.  Had some Oreo’s and milk as a snack or desert.  Rudy was by myside on the couch long after his sister left.  She was only buttering me up for treats, she gets in some good cuddle time and then starts begging in her way for treats.  I was a little past 6p last night and she stood up and looked at me and then the clock.  Rudy just snuggled in for a nap and I was enjoying TV.  I realized that I was late and passed out her treats.  Rudy is no dummy he got up and had some as well then came back to snuggle and nap.

The last of the series Cobra Kai will be out on Netflix tomorrow and it supposed to be really good.  I plan on watching.  Hopefully I won’t burn through it too fast.  Got a massage on Friday it’s later than normal.  Haircut on Saturday.  Looking forward to my last quiet weekend since I will be back on call next week.  Ho hum. 

Hope that your well, warm and safe.  Thanks for dropping by.  Take care of yourself and I’ll talk with you all again soon!

Crazy for Fried Chicken

Morning … Here we are again on another Take it Tuesday as we inch ever so slowly towards the weekend.  The weather we were supposed to get turned out to be a non-event and it’s all dry outside.  Now we are being told to brace for Wednesday because that is when the real stuff will arrive.  From what I hear I could probably brave it and be fine but I’m too old to just take chances.  You know eventually your luck runs out and wham bam your in an accident.  I’d rather do the safe thing and just stay put besides that it’s easier and the cats like it more. 

I ate a cold piece of Fried Chicken for lunch yesterday and no one bothered me.  Last night I heated up a plate with a couple pieces and some mashed potatoes and Rudy came alive.  He pestered and pestered begging for food.  He even covered up his own food as if to say see it’s horrible I want some of yours it’s smells much better.  That was a cute trick but it didn’t work.  I thought he might climb on the table while I had my back turned to get a biscuit from the microwave but he was a good boy.  There is no way I’d leave the room with a plate of food on the table because I know he for sure would get into it and probably summon his sister to join him. 

Despite the begging and nagging at meal time they are both pretty good cats.  I had some Oreo’s last night and he tried to get in on that as well.  If nothing else he is persistent.  It works for attention and when he’s hungry and I feel lazy but I just don’t give in when it comes to him or even her eating my food.  I’m sure they hate that. 

There wasn’t anything on TV last night.  I wound up watching more of Season 6 of The Connors on Netflix.  I already know how that series plays out because I saw it when it aired on TV but it’s better than channel surfing or trying to find a video on YouTube.  I did take a break from TV and finished up a story that I was writing, that passed the time quickly. 

The work day ended super early for me yesterday.  I went up at 3p and stayed on standby but no one bothered me.  For some reason when the clock strikes 4p that seems to be when the next wave rolls in and it was busy but not for me, I just kept hitting delete on emails and watching TV. 

Shaved and got a shower last night.  The cats were calm which was surprising.  Once I settled into my room Rudy was worked up and playing alone but Mora was keeping me company.  Eventually he came in and curled up in bed, she was in my lap.  After about an hour I felt my sleeping medicine kick in as I fell asleep briefly and woke up.  I wanted to stay put because I was comfy but knew that I should get up and I did.  Mora wasn’t too happy about that.  Watched a little bit more TV from bed and then it was lights out. 

I was up around 5a and managed to fall back to sleep.  Rudy came in to join me and was trying to curl up next to me and climb on top of me at the same time.  I didn’t know what to do.  Eventually he climbed on top and fell asleep.  Some guard he is, sleeping on the job.  He will sense when I wake up and that is when he springs to life.  Smiling and making biscuits.  He didn’t want to stop this morning but I needed to get out of bed if he wanted food.  It felt much better getting up this morning compared to yesterday when I just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep. 

As it stands now looks to be a light day with 2 meetings.  One mid-morning and that other after lunch.  Unless something comes rolling in I will be on standby again and I am okay with that.  It does make for a long day but if I am left alone and the phone stays quiet I might be able to sneak in a nap or just enjoy some TV time. 

I’ve got plenty of Fried Chicken left to the point where when I am done I won’t be wanting it again for a while.  I will say nothing compares to when it’s first brought home all crispy and hot.  There is no getting back to that point and heating up mashed potatoes takes forever.  I think if I had an air fryer I’d try to reheat the whole thing in there bet that would be nice.  Perhaps someday I will get one of those along with a Blu-ray player and a 4K TV but for now I just pop it in the microwave that is good enough for me. 

Stay warm and be well.  Hope it’s a great day for all!

Weekend Recap

Friday night I made the Tombstone pizza and it was just as good as I remembered.  The house had a good smell and Rudy really begged me to let him have some, but I didn’t give in. 

Saturday morning it was raining and I just couldn’t bring myself to get out in the rain.  It was much better to be lazy and stay home.  I had left over Tombstone pizza (cold) and some left over cake that I had from the store.  That was breakfast.  Then it was watching TV and loafing.  Until mid-afternoon when I got a shower and then ventured out.  I went back to the Mexican place by the office.  I had a way different and much better experience.  The food was good and I had way too much salsa.  It talks back.  I love it but it just doesn’t love me.  Hit up the post office and pet food store.  Not sure why but the pet food store shelves look like were back in the pandemic.  Not much variety at all.  I managed to leave with an $84 bill but that included a bag of high quality dry food.  Cats are expensive. Then back home to unload and play on the computer. 

Sunday was the normal stuff.  The hot guy at the place I get breakfast from spoke to me, it was a brief and professional encounter.  I learned that he was getting ready to go back to school later in the year.  He’s got to be in his early 20’s.  Nice to look at but I think a bit too young for me.  That won’t stop me from looking though.  Had a decent breakfast.  I wanted more eggs but they had a strict 2 egg limit due to supply.  Wow never encountered that before and hope that it’s gone soon.  I like my eggs at breakfast time.  The grocery store had a few more people than normal but for the most part it was very manageable.  I felt like I dashed through the place and didn’t hardly buy a damn thing.  My mind was on Fried Chicken of all things.  Came home, unloaded and had my nap.  Then started on putting out pills and getting lunch for the cats.  Worked on mopping the floors, that confused both cats but Mora followed me.  I use a steam mop and when it started pouring out the steam that scared her and she ran away.  I am sure that if I used chemicals I could probably get the floors cleaner.  It all stems from a cat that I had a long time ago that had contact dermatitis.  He was allergic to the chemicals and his paw pads would break out in a rash.  Ever since then I switched to steam and haven’t looked back.  I’m sure both of my cats now would probably be okay but I’d rather not take the chance.  I did a short load of laundry from the bathroom floor mats.  Rudy went into to investigate and was confused that there were no floor mats.  He loves to lay on them.  I played on the computer for a while and the cats kept me company.  When the laundry was done I was done with the computer.  I made my way back upstairs and watched some TV to kill a bit of time.  Finally time to leave to get Fried Chicken.  I went to KFC.  Normally I go in and should have stuck with that.  On the way there I hit a doozy of a pot hole.  Then went through the drive up and curbed one of my wheels.  I was so pissed about both of those.  I damaged my wheel, it’s only cosmetic though.  However, I did enjoy my fried chicken when I got home and had to fend off Rudy.  They didn’t have all legs like I like so I got a mix and had a large breast.  It was juicy and delicious.  I was full when done but really felt like one more piece but didn’t indulge.  Just watched TV and did some writing to pass away the rest of the day.

Here we are again at Monday.  Nothing much going on and things are quiet.  I am thinking about more Fried Chicken.  However did some surfing this morning.  One of the content creators that I subscribed to did work with Joshbigosh and had PPV content.  I’ve never ever purchased PPV content but really wanted what he had.  I have always wanted to see Josh in a full scene.  Well I shelled out $20 this morning and have 2 hours of content to watch.  It’s just what I wanted and I am happy with my purchase.  I am letting my OF subscriptions run out and don’t plan to renew any of them.  However, I am sure at some point there will be some content that lures me back and I am okay with that.  As you might imagine I am quiet excited with my purchase and will be taking some time to watch and enjoy.  I just did some quick skimming thus far. 

As for our weather event I heard the forecast this morning it’s a Wintery Mix and it will happen in two parts.  Tuesday will be mild so they say with maybe 2 inches of snow.  It will be later in the afternoon so the commute home could be tricky.  Wednesday morning is when the next round is supposed to hit and they are saying 3 to 4 inches of snow.  I am keeping my eye on what they say but based on what I have heard thus far I am content with staying home.  Not that I really want to. I would rather be able to make it one day in the office just to make an appearance.  Better safe than sorry.  I will be on-call next week so I will be here all next week for sure.  It may very well be later this month or even March before I am back in the office.  On the bright side if things aren’t too horrible I’ve got that extra shovel from the last storm that I can use to help me clear the driveway if I decide to get out.  This round of weather is suppose to be more tame than what we had last month so I am thinking I might just be able to drive through it without doing any driveway cleaning.  If I think that I need it I know from last time to call someone early if I think I will need them instead of waiting until after the storm. 

Well I suppose it’s time to take a break from the computer, go sit with the cats and hope that no one bothers me for a while.  If that is the case then I won’t be back in front of the computer until after lunch.  Today was one of those days that started off with me wanting to just call in and take the day off.  I had some extra sleeping meds and was super groggy but I am proud of myself that I pushed through.  Felt like my reward was the PPV content that I purchased.  I had messaged that content creator a couple times and figured that he would never ever get back to me.  The younger generation moves way too damn slow for me.  I am all about instant gratification and responses. 

I hope you had a nice weekend and that all is well in your world.  Take care!

Working Friday

Hey we made it, another Friday!  Had an average typical evening last night.  No more nightmares!  That’s something to be thankful for. 

Last night I experienced something that I thought was unusual.  Sleeping in the bed with the cats.  I was snuggling with Mora and rolled over.  She backed up to me and I felt her next to my back.  Never had a cat do that before.  Almost felt like I was sleeping next to someone.  It was quite comfy. 

It’s been a productive Friday for me.  I have done laundry, the dishes are going now.  Both cats threw up and I cleaned the carpet in those spots.  Rudy had to come to inspect afterwards and got wet paws.  He hated that.  Just the look on a cats face when they step on wet carpet is priceless.  Brought the trash can in and also had a nap. 

The boss is away today and the work load is light.  I took care of a few things this morning.  I’ve been watching but there really isn’t anything popping and I am quite okay with that.  I think I will be headed up early. 

Not much on YouTube.  Thinking of making that Tombstone Pizza for supper.  It sounds really good, plus the house should smell good for a little bit. 

I hope that your well and warm.  Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy yourself.  Treat yourself, you deserve it!

Strange nightmare

Happy Friday Eve!  Had an okay Wednesday evening.  Made a Stouffer’s side dish of bacon cheesy potatoes and had that for supper.  Just half of the dish.  I’ll eat the other half tonight.  It’s not bad with some occasional ranch and hot sauce.  The cats smelled the bacon and they were loving it but they have never tasted bacon on my watch.  Had some cake and milk for desert later in the evening. 

Watched YouTube and there wasn’t a whole lot of content.  Lots of stuff about the Government.  I watched a podcast that had some Senators on because they were taking over the Senate floor all night long.  That was a little interesting for a while.  I finally switched to some Night Court and then turned the TV off around 6p. 

I opted to write a story and wow when your imagination runs wild and your putting it down on paper the time does fly by rather quickly.  It’s a fun fantasy world that only exists in my mind and well I suppose on paper too.  Rudy wanted to help me he just loves pens and thinks they are toys.  However he snapped at my pen and it was all metal.  I heard it hit his teeth.  That had to hurt but he seemed unfazed.  I got him to curl up and go to sleep and then I went back to fantasy land. 

After a couple hours of that I had 20 minutes to kill before it was time for a shower and to wind down to bedtime.  I watched more Night Court. 

I opted not to take Melatonin last night and that proved to be a mistake.  I wound up waking up at 3a.  I tried to cuddle with Mora to get back to sleep but that didn’t work.  Eventually she left me and that’s when I turned on the TV to watch more Night Court.  Rudy was still in bed with me but he left and then came back.  I was up for another hour and wound up back asleep by 4:30a.  Rudy was in bed with me sleeping away at my feet. 

I’ve got no idea where my subconscious mind was but I had a true nightmare.  I had a daughter who was just born and looking at her birth certificate showed that she was born in September 2026.  Even in the dream I knew that was in the future and I was so confused.  I was never so glad to wake up.  The only kids I want have 4 paws and a tail and we already share a home.  My brother was in the dream and apparently we were all living together.  There were a couple people in the dream that I had no idea who they were.  Here’s hoping that I never have that dream again. 

Thursday morning I had nothing going but damn I’ve been working and just looked at the clock.  It’s time for Rudy’s lunch so I need to head up.  I usually pass out their lunch early and then eat a bit later and wind up taking a nap or at the very least lay down and watch TV. 

Things are calm at the moment but that can change on a moments notice.  My work computer is acting strange and the display is a bit off.  I’m guessing we have some internet circuit issues.  I rebooted both my home and work machines.  Took me forever to get connected again. 

Hope that your Thursday is going well and that your warm.  Hang in there gang we only got one more day until the weekend!  Talk with you all again soon.

Man Candy - Horny?

@ EL HOMO

Probably no surprise but I am at EL HOMO today and didn’t bother with going into the office.  I got in that mental space where I can do everything I need to here and it’s just a huge waste of time and money to travel.  I need to make an appearance soon so I will most likely go in next week.  Honestly, no one misses me and if anyone needs me they send an email or call.  I am reachable and quite responsive.  All of my work is getting done so I honestly see no harm in just staying put. There is only one meeting scheduled today and it’s just our usual yapping session where we give updates as to what were doing.  I loath this meeting but my boss feels it’s necessary so he can get the pulse of what everyone is doing.  He has no clue what anyone is doing he just likes to hear the yapping considering he interrupts everyone often and just loves to hear the sound of his own voice.  I could go the rest of my life and not hear his voice again and I’d be happy.  He and others often talk about personal stuff and we get off in the weeds on some tangent and that just makes the meeting drone on longer.   

I have moments where I feel okay and others where I feel like I am getting sick again.  I can’t help but think that the place I go for breakfast on Sunday is where the germs are hanging out but I could be wrong about that.  I could pick something up literally anywhere I go.  It’s kind of like back when I got COVID and my employer asked so where did you contract it at.  Hell I’ve got no idea.  I had my suspicions but can’t say precisely where it was.  I also don’t want to go around wearing a mask.  I know a lot of people are doing that now that were in Flu season.  If that should become a mandatory requirement again then I’d comply otherwise I am happy to take my chances, at least at the moment. 

I’ve managed to irritate my gum around a back tooth and it seems like there is always something between that tooth and the gum that I need to floss out.  It feels great to floss but I can tell based on feeling that I have irritated the gum.  I floss in that spot multiple times per day and I know that isn’t helping but I don’t like the feeling that there is something trapped there.  Hopefully my body will speed up healing in that area. 

My cyst is still hanging around but it’s a lot more manageable.  It does flair a bit now and then but it’s back to normal size.  It used to be a pouch that just filled with blood and was soft and pliable.  Now it’s just a small hard lump.  Mora seems to have a knack for smacking it with her nose when I am trying to drink and she thinks that I should be paying attention to her rather than quenching my thirst.  Other than that for the most part normal daily activity doesn’t bother me.  I did make finger guns the other day like I was shooting at the cats and for some reason that bothered it.  I just want it to stay like it is so that I can show the doc that it’s a cyst and not a varicose vein like he thought. 

My massage therapist reached out yesterday to try to get me to come in for an evening appointment she was suddenly available.  She is also pushing for an appointment on Friday.  Her kid just got over the virus and she said that things are back to normal.  I’d like to give it a bit more time before I go jumping back in and wind up catching something.  I don’t plan on seeing her until Valentine’s Day. 

I started taking Magnesium on a regular basis to help with sleep.  It also helps to relax muscles and while I am only taking a low dose I have noticed it does help with both the muscle knots and sleep.  I’ve still got the knots but they just aren’t as bothersome as they have been in the past.  It will be interesting to see how the next massage feels and if the pain is less intense.  This is something I did on my own and haven’t talked with my doc about.  I’ve taken Magnesium before but it was in the wrong form and it wound up seriously causing stomach issues as well as a horrible case of acid reflux.  However, it helped me sleep better. 

The news keeps reminding me that were only days away from The Super Bowl.  Whoopie do it is just another day for me.  So long as the grocery store is stocked on Sunday morning when I normally go I will be happy.  Depending on where I decide to go eat in the evening it might just help me get a table.  I’m thinking that The Olive Garden might not be terribly crowded but who knows what will sound good to my taste buds. 

No disrespect but I was thinking is it a coincidence that The Chinese New Year is the Year of the Snake and look at who we have for a President.  Kind of one in the same.  I am not a fan of snakes nor a fan of the Presidents either.  Sadly the Chinese New Year will change next year but sadly we will still be stuck with the same jackass that we have for a President.  It’s only been a little more than 2 weeks and he’s already caused so much chaos.  I shutter to think about what else he might do in the coming days/years.  Can’t wait until his term is over with and I like so many people can stop thinking about him and wondering what he is going to fuck up next. 

On a different note had Penne Abarata last night for supper it was pretty good.  Then had some Keebler Mint cookies (knock offs of the Girl Scouts Thin Mints) for desert to help take the spice away.  A bit later finished up my fresh canned peaches.  Not a bad meal at all. 

Coke came out with a new flavor of Sprite it’s like a cherry lime aid.  I bought it in the Zero (aka diet) formula a few weeks back and damn it was so good.  I picked up another 12 pack of it and damn if I didn’t manage to get the regular sugar version.  It tastes horrible and I can’t believe I made such a silly mistake.  I’ve been drinking diet soda for so long I can for sure taste when I get a regular soda.  Can’t believe I used to drink the sugary stuff more than I drink the diet stuff.  During the week I am on pretty much 2 cans per day.  The weekend I drink as much of it as I want.  However, since my water intake is down I can sure feel and tell a difference with my thirst. 

Got some man candy queued up for this afternoon and I hope that you enjoy.  Meanwhile I think I am headed up to take a break with the cats.  My nose is bothering me.  Both of the cats were worked up this morning and did their normal resting before I came downstairs.  That’s when playtime began and they sounded like they were tearing up the house.  If you like cat videos check out Penny the talking cat on YouTube.  She looks like both of my cats and the content is pretty good.  Not to mention her mom has some amazing decorating and carpentry skills.  I am so jealous!

Happy middle of the week!  Have a good day.

Hot & Cold

Happy Tuesday.  I didn’t realize it until late in the afternoon yesterday but we were in the 70’s.  From my living room window I saw people walking with t-shirt and shorts on I thought it was rather odd on a February day it is normally cold out.  That’s when I looked at my phone and saw the temp had climbed.  It’s like we went from Winter to Spring. 

Not exactly sure why but I went from comfy to hot several times overnight to the point where my body woke me up.  Each time Rudy was in bed with me sleep guarding me.  He started in at 5a when I woke up last and thought it was breakfast time.  I went back to bed and he begged me to get up and feed him.  By 6a he was on top of me patiently waiting until I gave in.  That didn’t happen until much closer to 7a.  He’s really something special and he knows it too. 

Not exactly sure what happened yesterday but working along in the morning I started to feel like crap.  I went upstairs and watched TV.  Managed to fall asleep in my chair and then an old co-worker called to wake me up.  The more I talked the worse I sounded.  I was pretty sure that I was getting sick but after lunch it passed.  I had some Chicken Noodle soup.  Rudy heard the can crack and thought he was getting a second lunch but I told him that sometimes I eat out of cans like he does.  As per usual the broth is/was too salty for me but I gulped some of it down and ate all of the noodles and chicken.  Hopefully, what ever that was is gone.  My nose has bothered me a little bit but for the most part I am fine. 

Had the Beef Stew I picked up from the store.  Looked like dog food but damn it was pretty good.  The microwave didn’t get it all hot but it was warm enough that a couple stirs and everything was fine.  I will look for that again.  It’s a great way to add a little variety to my otherwise boring evening meals.  I was thinking of going to Taco Bell or even back to Wendy’s the only thing that stopped me was the fact that I would have had to get behind the wheel and it was rush hour when I had those thoughts.  Traffic around here gets pretty hectic then and accidents go way up.  I didn’t want to be one of them and besides that I did want to at least try the Beef Stew. 

Cuddled with Mora and she got her belly rubs as she patiently waited for the clock to strike 6p so that she could get her treats.  I gave in a little early and got them for her and her brother.  Then I snuggled up with some Ice Cream.  Watched some old episodes of Night Court mixed in with some YouTube videos.  Kind of a boring night that matched the boring day. 

I think I am headed up for a bit to be with the cats and relax, until duty calls or it’s meeting time.  I’m sure I can get in some quality relaxing that is if the phone will leave me alone. 

Hope all is well and warm in your neck of the woods and your doing great.  Thanks for reading my yapping.  Talk with you all again soon.

The Weekend

Welcome back, hope that you had a great weekend.  Mine was pretty good but nothing spectacular happened. 

I got woke up early Saturday morning by an app on my phone that tracks Earthquakes.  It’s set to nearby stuff only so I don’t get alerted to all of the earthquakes that happen daily.  This is the third time the thing has misfired and got me out of bed.  I did some fine tuning on it and I’m giving it one more chance.  Next false alert and it’s gone.  Glad it’s a free app.  Since I had problems going back to bed you know that means that my Saturday plans went into the dumper. 

I was lazy and loafed as well as went back to bed.  Never did make it to see my friends.  I did get bothered a couple times with work stuff, so it was good I was close to a computer. 

Later in the day and hit up my usual Mexican place.  Service was lackluster.  They were busy and I kind of fell by the wayside.  My drink which was only a soda took forever but thankfully my food was right on time.  I scarfed it down like it was my last meal.  Not sure why I really wasn’t in any hurry.  Got the car washed.  Man that place was crowded and I saw a couple hot guys.  Glad the vehicle is clean but it won’t last long.  Rain is in the forecast this week, just my luck. 

Decided not to do any laundry this weekend as it looks like I can make it.  We have connected water meters and I’ve got an app that tells me how much water I am using.  Never in my life would have thought that I use nearly as much water as I do.  It’s just me and the cats.  They get water from a jug that I get from the store.  It’s just crazy but I suppose every drop counts.  It was nice to see the decline in usage.  But that won’t last terribly long as this weekend I will be doing laundry if I don’t give in during the week. 

It was a warmer day on Saturday but Sunday felt like Spring we were in the 60’s. 

Finished off The Recruit on Friday night that was really good!

Sunday just did the usual morning run.  Loafed when I got home and got in a nap.  Saw the cute guy at the restaurant and he’s got quite the rear view that I enjoy.  I kind of think he’s straight but hey I can still look and enjoy the view. 

Got minimal house cleaning done I just wasn’t feeling like engaging in anything.  Played on the computer and when it was time to eat.  I opted to make a Wendy’s run.  Enjoyed a Burger, Chili and Frosty for supper last night.  Both cats begged me but I never gave in.  They are so cute and I can’t fault them for trying. 

For me Sunday was the most enjoyable of the two days.  I was feeling fine but then this morning came along.  My cough has returned and so has all of the mucus.  I’m hoping it’s just allergies.  The only thing about getting out is that it’s a great way to pick up unwanted germs, especially this time of year.  Here’s hoping I was spared but I suppose I will know soon enough.  Last thing I want is to get sick again since I just got well. 

Picked up some store made Beef Stew yesterday and thinking of having it for supper tonight.  It’s been a long time since I had that dish.  Only wish is that I had some bread but I’ll make do. 

Planning to go to the office on Wednesday this week but like everything else in life that is subject to change.  It mostly depends on how I feel and my attitude.  It’s kind of a lot of jumping around for no reason at all and I consider it not only a waste of time but a waste of gas.  However, it’s important to keep up appearances.  Last time I was in only a couple people noticed me.  I like to stay in my office and not do much mingling, it’s safer that way.

At least I am no longer on-call and am very happy about that.  I am headed up for a bit to take an extra allergy pill to see if I can’t get my nose/throat under control and will probably work in nap.  Unless something comes in from work I probably won’t be back down here until the afternoon and I am more than okay with that.  I more enjoy spending time with the cats and I think they like that as well. 

Here’s to what I hope is a great week ahead for all.  Take care!
