Good Sleep

Morning

Hope your having a great day.  Mine started early this morning when I woke up at 1a.  I had no reason to be up but my body said it’s time to wake up.  It was another insomnia attack.  I’ve really been taking the death of my so called step-son pretty hard.  I think mostly because were so close in age.  Then there is me still mulling over if I want to tell his kid about his grandfather.  I honestly kind of wish I never googled but I’m curious by nature and that has caused me some pain more than once in my lifetime. 

In any event I was up until 3a and then decided to head back to sleep.  As I turned the TV off I heard rain falling outside, which was kind of a surprise.  Powered on my white noise machine.  Rudy and Mora changed places in bed and I got to snuggle with Mora for a short period of time before she left, I was no where near falling asleep. 

It’s oppressively hot and humid here.  I woke up to hear and feel the AC running this morning at 6:30a, which is still early for me to rise.  However Rudy & my bladder have this knack for waking me up early.  Felt really good sitting at the table eating and feeling the cool air. 

It’s really nice in the basement usually it’s 70 down here but right now it’s 72.  Still feels pretty good.  More rain is on the way and heavy winds are forecast for most of the afternoon.  Just hope the trash can doesn’t blow away. 

I’m anticipating a call from the boss either today or tomorrow to let me know about my pay raise.  It won’t be in effect until the 1st of July but it’s nice to know that it’s coming. 

Had a lengthy conversation yesterday with the new guy.  Lots of pauses and delays in the conversation like it’s tough to get off the phone with him.  It took me two separate times of trying to end the conversation before he finally gave in and we hung up.  Jeez just imagine if we were in person he strikes me as one of those people that just goes on forever and ever.  Thankfully were far apart so the chances of us meeting in person are slim to none.  I’m okay with that.

I have been pushed to work with him more.  I kind of feel like he said that he hasn’t worked with me much and that has resulted in some emails with tasks being delegated to me asking me to work with the new guy to make sure he knows.  I hate those kinds of emails but I always do what is asked of me and always will, unless it’s illegal or morally wrong. 

Looking forward to what I hope is a relaxing weekend.  I don’t have anywhere to be on Saturday and really no reason other than getting something to eat and grabbing the mail to leave.  I plan to rot at the moment.  It sounds like the best and if my insomnia keeps flaring up I will certainly welcome rotting.  I’d just like to go back to sleeping through the night and waking up refreshed and relaxed, kind of like when I was a kid.  Those times have been few and far between but they sure to feel awesome when they happen. 

Back to the fun I suppose.  Stay cool and take care!

Middle of the road

Happy hump day!

Yesterday was a little busy in the afternoon.  Glad that I had lunch early so I could tend to everything that came up.  There always seems to be something that happens when I eat early and I am usually always glad that I did.  Kind of funny how that works out. 

I was damn tired yesterday and had to take two naps, which is unusual.  One usually does it but I was woken up with something urgent and wound up sitting on the phone with my colleague for an hour and a half. 

The new guy is asking for some work but I told him that I didn’t want to overwhelm him and once he felt comfortable to reach out and we would get started with what I had for him.  It’s been silence ever since.  I’m sure that my move could likely backfire but only time will tell.  I certainly hope not. 

Had an average evening last night.  Both cats clinging to me at different times getting their dose of attention.  They sure keep life interesting. 

Rudy woke me up super early this morning and then my bladder sounded off to tell me it was full.  I still told them both to take a hike and rolled over for a bit.  That didn’t last terribly long as I was awake again.  Saw Rudy sitting on top of me smiling as he does just waiting with anticipation for me to wake up.  Once he saw I was awake he got up and did his happy dance.  He knows right where to press to make it hurt.  I’m sure he’s not doing it on purpose but sometimes I wonder. 

The start of a new day and a hot one at that.  It’s one of those days where I’m glad I work indoors with AC.  Although it’s still gets humid in here at times.  It’s nice to enjoy the cool of the morning before the afternoon heat moves in.  The best part of all of this is that the sun is out.  I feel so much better seeing it and I know it makes the cats happy. 

I’m caught up as per usual and just waiting to see what the day brings.  Meanwhile I am going to hike upstairs, fire up my laptop, getting logged in and then go lay down and watch TV.  No doubt that I will drift off but Mora will be snuggled up in my arm and Rudy will be between my legs.  Then the phone will sound off and I will see if I need to get up or if I can make it wait.  Got a meeting before lunchtime and that one will probably be a long one.  I will probably set the cats lunch out before I get to that otherwise they will be bugging me the entire time. 

Hope it’s a great day for you!

So it begins

Morning!

The heat wave is starting today and more rain is coming too.  I am not excited about either of them but glad that I am indoors with the cats!

Late yesterday afternoon I got the approval email for my week of vacation, which I fully anticipated would arrive.  I’m glad that is done.

Had something new for supper last night.  Chicken Fajita Nachos.  They are premade by El Paso and I found them in the frozen food isle by chance.  I put 7 on a plate then toss them in the microwave for 1 minutes and 30 seconds and presto.  I had some Sour Cream on hand and it pair up nicely.  The little bites were seasoned with Fajita seasoning and they were surprisingly good.  I’ve got a whole bag of them and they are more made as a quick snack rather than a meal but hey I improvised. 

I also tried Halo Top last night.  It’s a ice cream with less calories and they have it premixed with other stuff.  I got Chocolate Cherry.  I can’t tell from the packaging if this is really ice cream but hey it tasted really well.  Expensive experiment but I’m glad I made the purchase. 

Nothing really good on last night.  I stuck with Good Times on Prime and watched several episodes.  Summer TV hiatus sucks but I will survive it’s not the worst thing in the world. 

Cats were well behaved yesterday.  I tried a food experiment on them and got beef.  Rudy turned his nose up at it.  They eat it mixed in other things like Beef and Liver as well as Beef and Chicken and it goes over fine.  My original cat seemed to be allergic to Beef anytime he would eat it he would get sick, so I stopped feeding it to him.  Rudy got a second can of food which was Chicken and he turned his nose up at that as well.  As if I was going to start a buffet line.  He knew that wouldn’t happen but he still turned on his salesman’s charm and begged.  He wound up eating dry food.  I can be stubborn as well if I really want to be, it’s in my blood. 

The police scanner yesterday was filled with a couple of chases that spiced up the afternoon and evening.  The usual calls of traffic stops, theft and false alarms as well as medical emergencies occupied the bulk of the calls.  It is quite interesting to hear what is going on in the world that you would otherwise not know about.  Most of which is never published in any format. 

I’m caught up at work as per usual so I am headed up to relax until someone has something for me to do or it’s time for a meeting.  First meeting is in 3 hours and I’ll bet you someone will have something for me to do long before that 3 hours is up. 

Hoping for a great day ahead for all of us.  Take care & thanks for stopping by. 

Sunday

Eh here we go again Monday morning, ugh!

Sunday was an okay day.  I managed to injure myself doing of all things pumping gas.  I held the pump with my left hand instead of putting it on automatic.  I heard that if you control the flow of the pump, by only letting it flow 1/2 way you get more gas and less air.  Makes sense to me.  However, that aggravated my cist and it flared up when I was done.  I figured it would go away but nope, stuck with me all day and only got worse as the day went on.  Jeez this getting old isn’t any fun.  At least my membership card worked at Sam’s when I stopped, had to swipe it twice but it worked. 

The grass crew showed up yesterday afternoon much to my surprise.  It’s raining out now so that makes sense as to why they came yesterday.  Plus we have a heat wave moving in and I’m sure that’s no fun for anyone outdoors. 

Had my Mexican food for supper, it was good.  I got consumed in holding a text conversation with a friend and that kind of made eating take much, much longer than I wanted it to.  As a result I felt much fuller when I left. 

Spent time with the cats, got the house cleaned as well as their water fountain.  It was nice not to have to do any laundry on Sunday since it was all done the day before. 

Had more insomnia battles last night as well as a bad dream to top it all off.  Wish that I could just get a good nights rest with no interruptions as well as no bad dreams.  There is a lot on my mind so I totally understand why this is happening, I just don’t know what is causing the insomnia to flare up.  I know that it doesn’t help when I take a nap.  Need to pull an all day awake with no nap and that might help clear things up.  However, napping is so much fun and enjoyable, especially on the weekend when I can turn my phone off and not have to worry about being disturbed. 

Bossman just approved the two days I was sick a few weeks ago but has yet to approve my time off later this month.  I’ve made plans and will not be at work that week, so approved or not I will be out that week.  He’s never denied me time off before and I don’t expect that to start now, especially since we have a new person.  It’s not like there is coverage issue. 

All caught up on work at the moment but I’m waiting for a couple things to come rolling in and then I will be back at it.  That will probably be a few hours.  Not that I am in any rush to head back to work.  Lucked out of a meeting that was scheduled.  So I get a Monday with hopefully Peace & Quiet.  Tomorrow the meetings start up again as we go sailing into the week ahead. 

Hope all is well in your world and that the sun is shining bright!

Movie–The Death of Dick Long

Watched a movie last night titled ‘The Death of Dick Long’.  It was on Kanopy (which is a free service provided you have a local library card).  It’s about a guy Richard “Dick” Long and he winds up dead.  This is a spoiler so if your going to watch it and want to be in suspense don’t continue reading. 

It starts out looking like his two friends murdered him when they were all high and drunk.  Turns out they were high and drunk but the guy liked to get fucked by a horse.  The horse fucked him to death.  It slightly funny but more of a mystery as it unfolds that keeps you wanting more.  At least it did me. 

There is no sex scenes in this movie.  I’ve heard of guys called horse cock before because they were hung but damn I never knew someone would actually let an animal fuck them.  I guess it’s different strokes for different folks.  Totally not my cup of tea. 

However it does make me think of a joke.  How do you get Dick out of Richard?  Ask him real nice!

Kanopy has some interesting stuff but thus far I found this and one other movie that was of interest.  They have a ton of content, sadly most of which I am not interested in.  There is even a kids section.  Again just a local library card and you should be able to login and create an account, then you can stream content for free.  There is no porn here so if that’s what your looking for you’d be in the wrong spot.  It’s a streaming platform like Prime and Netflix with a wide variety of content.  The selling point is that it’s all free. 

Hope your having a great day!

Man Candy - Summer Heat Wave

Productive Saturday

Happy Saturday!

Unfortunately, I had another insomnia attack after I got to sleep.  Was up for a couple hours watching TV before I was able to go back to bed and sleep.  Mora being the cuddle bug she is snuggled up to me and helped lull me back to sleep.  Just as I was about to drift off she decided to leave and that woke me up but after that I was back sleeping. 

Woke up early because that’s how my body is wired and also I’ve got Rudy who wants his breakfast.  Everyone got something to eat.  I showered the night before so I just threw on some clothes and headed out. 

Got my haircut.  Went to my friends shop.  The main guy I have a stronger friendship with is on vacation.  I chatted it up in the office for a bit and then headed out.  No sense in wasting a perfectly good day. 

Came home, had to use the bathroom.  Typed up what I wanted done to my vehicle for service which I took directly from the Manufacturers Maintenance schedule.  I left off changing the cabin air filter because that was just done a while back.  Oddly enough that is super labor intensive.  You put in a $6 filter but spend $100 on labor.  Then it was time to head out again. 

Hit up the UPS store, dropped off my defective blower.  The replacement arrived yesterday.  Next up Post Office then on to the shop where I got my tires at.  They do auto repair work and I trust them a bit more than my friends mechanic who missed the fact that I had a broken tie rod last time.  Anyway, I turned in the laundry list picked the Monday of my vacation and I’m on the list for first thing.  I plan to live there that day.  It’s going to be hours and it’s going to suck, not in the good pleasurable way either.  I told them I have new car fever and as long as they can tell me my vehicle is sound and doesn’t need any major repairs I will likely keep it to stay away from car payments.  At least that is the plan as of now.  Who knows if that will change down the road.  Part of me just wants to go hit up a car dealer and just buy a new one to be done with it.  I’ve also scheduled a Facial for the end of the week.  It’s at a new place.  I’m excited and figured saving it for the end of the week would be smart in case there were any complications with the car or I wanted to get a new one.  Leaving the rest of that week open for now.

Anyway, back on the road and stopped at Sam’s Club.  Got me a new membership card.  That should solve my problem at the pump as well as when I go to the store.  Kind of happy to get this done. 

Back home to cool off, relax and nap.  Then several hours later, I headed out for a bite to eat.  Decided I’d go back to the place where I had my birthday dinner last year.  It’s been a while since I have been there.  Normally I order from the specials but this time I decided to try the BBQ Peppered Pork Tenderloin.  It was good but way on the salty side.  I got a decent amount of it down for the money I spent.  Kind of sad that I didn’t fully enjoy the meal.  Had a dinner companion.  I sat with a stuffed bear.  Needless to say he didn’t say a word.  It would be funny if there was a hidden camera in that, they would get some great footage. 

On the way back home I talked myself into hitting up the Frozen Custard shop.  Me and my late spouse used to go there all the time but, it lost it’s appeal with me.  It’s still delicious as ever and people flock to that place.  They added a drive thru and people line up and sit and wait in their hot cars.  Not me, I parked and walked up to the window.  Got some Peaches and Custard in a small dish.  It took me back years and was fun.  I ate it outdoors as it was melting as soon as they handed it to me.  It’s quite humid out here. 

Then came home.  I still need to get cat food but figured I would put it off until tomorrow.  My bladder was about to explode from all of the soda and water I drank. 

Passed out supper for the cats and I’m doing laundry.  Playing on the computer.  I’m quite pleased with my progress today. 

Last night I saw the movie Wasteman with Tom Blythe.  Several good chest shots of him as well as ass shots.  There is full frontal nudity but it’s brief.  He’s all tatted up in this movie but not in real life.  The movie held my interest and I was quite surprised by the ending.  I’ve got a mad crush on him. The movie was on Prime, it’s $5 to watch.  I got to see it for free by using Amazon points. 

Well off to scour the web.  Hope you had a great Saturday as well!

Still numb

Morning and Happy Friday!

I am still numb from what I found yesterday.  My mind has been racing thinking of times we interacted in the past.  Memories.  The fact I have photos that I’m sure his kid would probably enjoy seeing the more it makes me want to reach out.  With age comes wisdom and I know to take my time with this and not react and rush into anything.  Right now I am thinking I am going to reach out but just not sure on when.  I know Father’s Day is only a few weeks away and I for sure wouldn’t want to clash with that because it’s going to be a difficult day for the kid. 

Needless to say I didn’t sleep the best last night but I am okay with it.  I also wasn’t in the mood to watch porn last night although perhaps if I would have I might have slept better.  I know it would have made me feel better, if only for a fleeting second.  Nothing quite like an orgasm, shame they don’t last longer!

The cats comforted me once they realized something was wrong after I found out.  Rudy came up and gave me a kiss, just like he did when he was in the shelter.  He’s such a sweet boy.  Mora sat with me letting her motor run on high.  It’s said that the vibrations from a cats purr can heal the human body.  I don’t know if I fully buy that but I can tell you it sure is comforting.  I can listen to a cat purr forever it’s so soothing. 

Work was calm in the morning but picked up in the afternoon.  I only have 1 meeting on the books today, I think it’s going to be a decent day. 

Looking forward to the weekend as per usual.  It’s cat food shopping weekend and also time to clean the cats water fountain and change the filter.  More tasks that I don’t enjoy.  However, I will be getting up early tomorrow as I have a haircut scheduled which I look forward to.  Not waking up early on a Saturday but I figure it will either get me motivated or cause me to come home and take a nap.  Thinking about where I want to eat this weekend.  Chinese, Mexican and BBQ all sound good to me.  I could honestly probably fit them all in if I really wanted to but I’d be so damn full.  Despite being overweight I really only eat 2 meals on weekends and sometimes throughout the week.  Breakfast and Supper.  Lunch is optional and dependent on how I feel as well as what I have on hand to munch on. 

Hope that you have a good day and a super weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.  Talk with you all again soon.

Sudden Death

I put my step-son’s name into Google.  Just wanted to see if I could figure out where he was working.  Instead I found out that he passed away back in April, 3 days oddly of the anniversary of his Father’s passing.  He was 55 which is really young to die.  The obituary was kind of the final slap in the face to his father, in that they listed his step-father (the guy his mom married after his father got a divorce).  I am stunned to learn this and of course I wanted to know what happened.  I did some searching on social media and found out that he had Pneumonia and was unable to fight it off. 

The kid had a child that never knew his grandfather (my late spouse) and I kind of want to tell the kid about him.  He is still a teenager and I realize that if I try to step in it probably would be very unwelcome.  I just really want the kid to know the truth so he doesn’t go through life not knowing.  If they were permitted to meet I think that my late spouse and his grandson would have hit it off swimmingly.  Of course I will never know that for sure.  I am fairly certain the kid has no idea of who I am either and I’m okay with that but he should know who his grandfather was. 

Yet another reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised to us.  We weren’t close in fact the last time we spoke was 13 years ago the day after his father passed that he couldn’t make time to come say goodbye to, asking if his dad suffered.  I’m fairly certain the kid hated me and I’m okay with that.  He caused so much pain to his father, took advantage of his father and made so many empty promises.  He was the definition of disappointment.  Of course if he needed money he wasn’t afraid to ask his father. 

I really have no words and am just in utter shock.  Not sure how his obituary slipped by me but had I known I would have at least gone to the memorial service.  I know I wouldn’t have been welcome.  I suppose everything happens for a reason.   

One Month Away

Morning!

Were one month away from the cats birthday, they will be 7.  They were 3 just about to 4 years old when they moved in here.  Time flies by so damn fast.  No doubt that Mora has gotten a little bigger since she moved in.  Rudy has pretty well stayed the same size but his personality has really blossomed.  I’m over the moon about them and so glad that I made the decision to adopt them.  I remember how on the fence I was but that move changed my life and it was for the better.  Plus I changed their lives too. 

Speaking of the furry duo, I finally got to brush them.  Last night the fur really came off Rudy.  He enjoyed it and when we were done he curled up on my lap for the longest time.  He wound up falling asleep, which is normal.  Mora came over a couple hours later and I got to brush her as well.  No surprise with the amount of fur I got off of her.  I’d rather brush than clean up a mess, plus I think they both like the brushing more than puking. 

Work wasn’t horrible yesterday but some of those meetings ran a bit longer than they were scheduled for.  I was late to get lunch passed out but we all survived.  Found out that pay raise information should be public next week, which is awesome.  I don’t expect more than 3 to 4 percent of a raise, if I get more it will truly shock me.  As for the Team Lead position, nothing more has come of it for now.  I’m guessing HR is coaching and working with him on developing a job description for that position that will outline the expectations, once that is finalized I will probably hear more.  Unless he’s totally dropped the ball.  Only time will tell and hey I’m comfortable right now where I am at, so even if nothing comes of this for now I am fine.  I just keep on keeping on. 

It’s take out the trash day, here’s hoping that the wasp leaves me alone and doesn’t have any company.  I’m not fond of the task of putting the trash out or taking the barrel back in.  This will be the 3rd week that my neighbors trash has sat open on the side of their house.  I’m really surprised no one has complained.  They should hopefully be coming back to mow the yard again I don’t know why they don’t just set the trash out.  I’ve thought about it but the only thing stopping me is if the shoe was on the other foot would they do it for me?  The answer to that question is no, at least in my mind.  They would probably call and complain to someone.  Which is why I take no action and just keep to myself.  Besides that I can’t get in trouble for minding my own business. 

Hoping it’s a great day for all of us.  Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Real Estate

Morning!

I periodically open Zillow on my phone to check on Real Estate in the area.  Depends on my mood at the time I am using the app if I want to look at houses for sale or places for rent.  Last night I opened it to see if my neighbors place was listed or pending being listed.  I didn’t find it.  However, I found another house in the subdivision that is pending listing and it’s going for $345,000 USD.  That’s about average pricing for this neighborhood.  It’s tract housing meaning that there are only a few floor plans available and the houses are basically all created the same.  This particular one looks like my other neighbors house as it has a walk out basement. 

We moved in here well over 25 to 30 years ago and only paid $130,000 USD for this place.  I can’t believe that it’s appreciated that much in value but based on the market it says otherwise.  I know what’s wrong with this place and know that if I was to sell as is I think I would be lucky to walk away with $200,000 USD.  That’s still a decent amount of money but then the next challenge would be where to go and how to get there. 

While I have wanted to move for years, I don’t see that in the cards.  It’s cheaper and a little bit less stress to stay put or so I think for now.  I know the longer I wait the more difficult it will become to leave. 

Changes aren’t always a good thing and can often just be a temporary sense of gratification.  I’d hate to think about starting all over on a mortgage considering I am closer now to paying this place off.  Actually, if my late spouse wouldn’t have refinanced and added in credit card debt I would likely be even closer than I am not at having this place paid off.  Not sure if I will actually live long enough to pay this place off only time will tell.  I’m sure as time goes on values for homes in my neighborhood as well as else where will continue to climb. 

Switching gears – Had to work late last night, something last minute came up.  That prevented me from not only enjoying my evening but from brushing the cats.  I had to change a bowl of dry food for them yesterday because someone got sick.  I think if it was just Rudy he would manage on his own to not have fur balls but since they bathe each other big Mora is the fur monster.  There is plenty of her and plenty of fur.  I am always amazed at the amount of fur I get from brushing her as compared to her tiny brother. 

Tonight I will be finishing off the pizza.  I want to go out tomorrow night there is a local pizza place that has all you can eat Spaghetti that comes with salad and a drink for $12 which sounds really good.  BBQ also appeals to me.  Who knows I might just wind up staying home and eating out of the freezer but it’s nice to know I have options!  Something about eating out during the week and changing things up is appealing not to mention it gets me out of the house, if only for a short time. 

3 meetings on the agenda for today – 2 of which are with vendors.  Hopefully, all goes smoothly. 

The sun is out again today and it’s supposed to be a nice hot summer like day.  Wish I wasn’t trapped in the house and could get out and go for a drive.  In a few weeks that will be the case but with my luck it will probably rain that whole week, but I hope not. 

Have a great day and take good care of yourself because there is only one you. 

Bad Blow Job

Morning!

Yesterday was a pretty good day.  I got a call from bossman a little after lunch to tell me that he was boarding a plane and that he would be in the air until late in the evening.  He just wanted to check and see how things were going and if I would cover his on-call for him since he would be unavailable.  Yeah of course I will cover it, not like I had much of a choice.  The day was calm and quiet up to that point, but that’s kind of where things changed and I got a little busy. 

Amazon dropped off my subscribe & save order.  I noticed that my porch was a mess with all sorts of debris on it.  I grabbed the blower and started blowing for a second, then the blower just quit.  I couldn’t get it going no matter what I did.  The battery was charged but still for good measure I topped it off and let the blower rest.  After hours of trying and a fully charged battery the damn thing just clicks like the fan starts to move and then nothing.  Guess this is one of those bad blow jobs.  I got the blower back in September and it’s got a 5 year warranty.  However, I don’t want to mess with that so I am ordering another one off of Amazon and then sending the defective one back. 

Each time I messed with the blower or even touched it the cats scattered.  As if I was going to attack them with it.  I’m just mad and frustrated.  The damn thing has sat in the house which is climate controlled and it hasn’t done a whole lot of work in the months it’s been here but I have used it a little bit before.  It’s just way too early for it to crap out on me.  I did put the battery in a different device and it works so I know it’s not the battery and for sure the blower has an issue.  I did research on-line but there is no easy quick fix.  You can go through customer service or you can take it apart and take your chances.  I like my idea better.  New unit will be here on Friday. 

We had some rain in the area a few times yesterday.  At one point the sun was out and rain was falling.  I told the cats there is a rainbow out there somewhere. 

Came across some interesting You Tube videos where a professional driver poses as an uber driver and picks people up and then scares the hell out of them by going fast and doing burnouts and drifting.  Another pro driver posed as a first time driver and got behind the wheel with several driving instructors he played dumb but then he started to scare the hell out of them.  It was funny to see peoples reactions and how their hearts almost jumped out of their chest.  Another one pro driver took a car salesman for a test drive and it was not a normal test drive, that poor guy thought he was going to lose his job.  He was calling the police when they stopped the car but they quickly let him in on the prank. 

Munched on Pizza for lunch and supper.  Had some yogurt for a mid-day snack and cake for desert in the evening.  That’s about it, not a super great day but not a horrible bad day either.  If only all Monday’s were like yesterday.  I even got in a short nap!

Hoping that today is a good day as well.  Two meetings on the agenda and that’s it outside of time for lunch.  Already surfed the web a little bit and combed through my email.  Won’t be long and I will be headed back upstairs to hang out with the cats.  It’s supposed to be a bright sunny summer like day. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great day ahead for all of us.  Take care!

Rainy Monday

Morning!

I’ve been kicking around taking some time off work.  I’d really like to take next week but something deep inside tells me that isn’t the week to take off.  Nothing special is scheduled that I know of but I suppose everything happens for a reason.  Therefore, I booked time towards the end of the month, an entire week.  Now I’ve got time to try to fill that week up.  I don’t have approval on my time off but my boss has yet to deny a request, pretty much you ask for it, you get it.  I like simple!

Yesterday I headed out to get pizza.  The straight cute waiter I wanted to see wasn’t working.  Service was slow and a bit lack luster.  However there was a cute guy sitting at the bar and a couple other hotties walked in so not a total loss.  Pizza was okay but took a little longer than expected to get out.  Had a table near by of people talking in Spanish and they weren’t exactly quiet about it.  They had some complicated order.  One of the people there wanted Vegan Cheese but this place didn’t have that.  That is part of what caused the delay with my order.  I went up early I had a deadline to meet and well I was a half hour late but I got back home and the work got done.  I just wasn’t pleased about it.  I like to be on-time, that’s how I was raised. 

Finished up Euphoria Season 3 last night.  I’m kind of interested in the other 2 seasons so might go back and watch them.  Season 3 kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat.  Very enjoyable!

Went to unload the dishwasher last night and noticed that some things had a sticky residue on them.  Then I looked closer and noticed the soap packet never dissolved.  Which can only lead me to believe the float got stuck and there was no water.  I would have swore I heard water on Friday night when it was running but apparently my ears deceived me.  Had to stock it back up, run it again and this time I checked periodically to make sure there was in fact water flowing.  I think my water bottle got in the way and I moved it when I re-loaded. 

Took my sleeping pill a little later in the evening in the hopes that I would lessen the odds that I would have interrupted sleep.  I did in fact wake up but Mora jumped up in bed with me and we cuddled she helped me get back to sleep.  It was storming when I woke up and storming again when it was time to get out of bed.  It was nice to open the drapes for the back door and see that the gutter wasn’t overflowing.  Hopefully, there won’t be any water woes here but I am keeping an eye out. 

Got going and got my morning work that I was dreading done.  Took me about an hour of just full concentration.  Now I’ve got my report prepared, I’m waiting for data from one person to get it completed and another start of the month task is done too.  Boss is on-call this week but thus far my colleagues are all over anything that comes up, which I am fine with.  It’s not like I really want to work today but I will if something comes up. 

Internet surfing is done.  Just about time to transition back to upstairs and be with the cats, lazy and hanging out until or if something comes up. 

Happy Pride!  Hope it’s a great month and great week for all of us.  Take care.
