Early Autumn? Yes, Please!

Tuesday after the long weekend was once again rainy and gloomy. I loved it. One thing I didn’t want was to be stuck at work. This rain better hold up until after work so I can really enjoy it. It’s insane home much rain we have had in such a short amount of time. I mean, we went months without any real significant rainfall so this was amazing and beautiful. I was in such a good mood. Home watching a movie with Yvette on the couch would have been nice, but I make do with work.

I really didn’t have much work to do. I went to the police to pick up the campus lost & found. Nothing exciting this month. I kind of like the flag art they had on the wall pictured below. The rest of the day was what you would expect on a rainy day. Not many people coming in needing me to buy anything. Only a few runs. That’s okay. I’ve never seen our little pond reach the banks like it did. Our gator was almost able to escape.

It seems there was a casualty on campus Wednesday morning. Poor Dominic the ram. He lost his head. I could just feel the people on campus mourn the loss. I had to confirm the rumors to be true. I had just seen him the week prior, which makes it ever more devastating. You really just don’t know what will be the last time you see someone. Sadly I discovered that he had indeed perished. What was assumed to be the work of a malicious individual looked to be a product of age and weather related demise. He was, in fact, without a head. Dead. What will they do with his remains. Surely sooner than later they will dispose of them. It’s such a traumatizing sight to bare eyes upon. The devastation the campus will feel when news spreads.

I started the show Shogun. I’ve wanted to watch it for a long while but never had Hulu, which it streams on. The show is mostly in Japanese with subtitles. So far I’m very into it. Great actors. Hiroyuki Sanada is always great. He certainly needs more of an American audience. His should be an established name. IRS set in the 17th century Japan with a few English actors thrown around speaking English. Like

I must admit, I was kind of excited about Thursday night football. I don’t watch much NFL but with the weather nice, football just added to the fall vibe. I was looking forward to it all day. The Ravens vs. The Chiefs. I like Patrick Mahomes, him being a Texas Tech player back in the day. Yes, I went to TTU for a few years and I still consider myself a Red Raider. I really didn’t care about who won the game, I was just excited for a game. Background noise. First real game of the season. All the excitement from everyone around me at work must have rubbed off. Haha. Who knows. I ended up watching the entire game. The Chiefs win. It wasn’t a simple victory. They had a good challenge. They won by a toe. It was a fun game. A good even game. It made me happy. What is happening to me?

I woke up from some great sleep and wanted to get things done. Sadly, I didn’t have much at work to do. Typical Friday. We did our best to combat the boredom. I mean, you can only do so much. I generally bring my Nintendo Switch to work with me on Fridays. The afternoons, usually after 4, it’s a life saver. Probably frowned upon but everyone else is either online shopping or watching YouTube videos so I do not feel so bad.

Tick tock tick tock. The day went on like a snail after work. One saving grace, Dominic’s body was removed. The poor bastard was just in indention in the ground. What a memory. These new student have not been here long enough to even miss him. The days are sad.

That night I cooked for Yvette and Tee. I made beef stroganoff and peas. Simple delicious meal. Turned out really good. You want to know something else? I watched more football. Watched the Packers vs Eagles. Yep. I must have a fever. I don’t know. Fall fever. Let’s see how much longer this last. It was a fun evening. I hope you all had a good week.

Happy Friday!
