Nada

Saturday I got up early and made some breakfast, enjoyed my coffee and played some Zelda. After the leisure time I went off to the post office to drop off an eBay package. I made another sale. My first vinyl. I was a little intimidated on packing it because I’ve had some arrive in bad condition. Afterwards I went and picked up Yvette and it was off to Sam’s to pick up the gender reveal cup cakes. What a deal. We did some more shopping and then went back to her house to decorate the cakes. Blue and pink pumpkins.

I went home to chill a little bit and relax. Unexpectedly, I think my doggy Owen had a seizure while I was there. It scared the shit out of me. He tried to get off the couch and fell down. He couldn’t get his legs to work. He couldn’t walk on my floor so I got him outside. He still was on the verge of falling over. He was shaking and drooling and his tail was between his legs. I held him and he just kept his head between my legs. After what seemed like a lifetime he stopped shaking and his tail started wagging. It was so weird. He was chasing a squirrel not 2 minuets later. I guess I need to bring him to the vet. I was about to bring him to the ER for dogs but he was just fine. I worried about it the rest of the day. Hate when something happens to my dogs.

Ram Jam was on the agenda next. This might be the last one unless they make the playoff games. Honestly it was the most tame one yet. I thought because of how nice a day it was and how it could be the last it would bring more people out. They didn’t even have free shirts. Oh well. We had fun even though we couldn’t stay for the whole time. We had a gender reveal.

Yep. The oldest son, Noah and his dear Nadia are having a baby. I loved being a part of this. It’s such an honor. I still get taken back by how much I get included. I love it. Well I got to hold one of the reveal confetti canons. Guess what? IT’S A BOY!!!! Holy shit. I got teary eyes again like I did with Lola’s almost a year ago. I didn’t see that coming. I was so happy for them. We had a nice time and some very good food. It was an eventful Saturday.

Sunday I woke up and it was already cloudy and a little damp outside. Damn. I needed to clean up the mess made from that last big rain. It had finally dried out about. I made a breakfast and I got to work. I filled up a trash cans worth with still more to do later. Yuck. The price one pays for living at the bottom of a hill.

For lunch my mother took Teegan, Yvette and I out for lunch. It was a belated birthday lunch for Tee. I arrived late and found my mom and Tee. I’m glad they really like and feel comfortable together. They asked where Yvette was. I was thinking the same thing. She was later dropped off by Lola. We had a nice little lunch and good conversation as we tend to do.

At 3 we met with Bill the Officiator. The mad making us husband & wife. I have known the guy for years. Damn near 20 years. Hard to believe but it’s true. My mom worked with him when he was the Pastor at the First Presbyterian Church. Yvette had never met him. I warned her and so did my mom that he is a character. Well we went to talk. I figured he wanted some ideas what we wanted from him and we would be gone in 15 min or so. I was wrong. He was I control for this. It was a get to k ow “US” scenario. Asked about which parent we were most like. Wheat our families were like. All sorts of things about us. Building a character profile. Figuring out who “WE” were. It was almost 2 hours, and we were not done!! We were to meet again on Wednesday after work. Haha. It was like a couples sessions, I guess. It was a lot of fun though.

That evening I watched a little football, tried on my wedding outfit for my mother to see how it all came together as one looks good if I must say so my self. It was a rainy night and I decided against grilling and picked up some take out lo mien noodles. Winning decision. They hit the spot. Finished up all my meal prepping and listened to it rain with my dogs. Hazel even took a seat on the bench next to me. On the tv I had old episodes of The Simpsons playing. That’s a relaxing evening.

Monday I had a rondevue with the vampires. It was the follow up visit from my experimental flu vaccine and they wanted to run test on my blood to see how it was affected. They took a whooping 15 vials of my red. Hungry. At least I don’t have a problem with needles and my blood. It was the easiest $50 I’ve made in a long time. I hope I get called back for more test. Money money.

Staff senate was a fucking bore. This one guy keeps harping on one issue every time. He was present today to address it AGAIN for the 4 time. I think the majority of us are tired of hearing it. He wants a portion of campus named after a secretary that worked there for 40 years. Yes, that’s impressive but isn’t really that big a deal. No one will know who she is. Just buy a bronze plaque and be happy with that. It’s just horrible listening to this guy on the subject over and over. What should have been a 30 min meeting lasted an hour and likely would have kept going had they not tabled the motion for a later date. Great. I will not be going to that. I don’t know what this guy wants by brining it up. We don’t have the strength to make what he wants happen. I generally skip these meeting and watch them from the office but I made the poor decision to attend this one in person. Poor choice.

Tuesday morning I woke up around 3:30 and fought to go back to sleep until about 5 when I just gave up. I made a nice omelet, had some coffee, cleaned my floors, played Zelda and watch the weather channel. It was going to be a long day. Yvette pointed out when I picked her up for work that I’d already been awake for 4 hours. Ouch, she was right.

If any blessing was to be had for the day it was that I was very busy. I could never keep up. This was nice because otherwise I’d have been fighting to stay awake. Just think, by 5 I’d been awake for almost 14 hours. That’s a day for me and I generally go to sleep at about 15 hour after waking up. What the hell!

After work I dropped off my wedding shirt to have it pressed and lightly starched. I was pooped. I was going to my mother and couldn’t help think about how big a chore making dinner would be. Normally I’m not like that. I eventually decided to do some catty out. While waiting for my order I had myself a beer and entered the relax zone. I knew I had made the right choice. Maybe not financially but a paycheck was coming soon. I wanted nothing more than to play more Zelda and hopefully not get off my couch.

Wednesday was much better. I woke up with 9 hours of sleep and felt alive once again. Work was steady so I didn’t have any down time. Yvette had a luncheon on campus so we ate at work outside. A nice day for a picnic. After work we had our officiator. It was once again fun. Lots of laughs. I even got him to show me how to tie a tie. I’ve always liked this guy. Afterwards Yvette and I went to HEB and came back to my house for some slow cooker chicken and dumplings. Good meal, great day.

We had our first frost this week. It’s finally dipping into the 30s. What a week it’s been. I like that cold.

Friday was the day of miscommunication. It pissed me off because it all had to do with me somehow. First, someone flat out lied to my boss about me doing something which I explained was not true. After lisenting to my account he said it made sense because he didn’t think what was told to him really did. Second, a dumb lady on campus who has a history of doing dumb shit told us one thing and expected another so I was attacked by AP at the end of the day because they were expecting something from me which I knew nothing about yet this dumb lady told them I was going to provide them with. This also went back to my boss because I didn’t do this thing I didn’t know about. He understood that one because he k owes this dumb lady and knew it was on her from the get go. I was done with the week. At least Yvette and I had a nice Asian lunch date. The Asian Market by campus. The spicy beef soup was amazing and actually sort of hot. The lady working warned me. Haha. I make meals with more heat.

That night I made egg roll stir fry for Yvette and Teegan. It was yummy and after dinner Tee and I watched some Gladiator. Great movie. We bought tickets for the sequel for Saturday. Should be good fun. The evening made up for the days BS. Happy Friday!
