Monday, Monday... I slept like a log, but I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It was warm and comfy. Ah well. Time waits for no person, so I dragged my ass up, and now I have had my first cup of coffee, which helps somewhat.
Had work yesterday, which was long and boring and filled with the project. More items had been added to the file, so it was back over 1000. We got it back down into the 900's at least. Today the plan is to shoot for the 800's. Depending on the help I get, I could definitely make that.
Then it was off to Walmart to pick up the grocery order, and back to cook dinner. We went for that classic of the quick to make food genre, Hamburger Helper. Really, not that bad. It was warm, filling and cheesy. Can't ask for much more than that. Tonight shall be a sausage and rice dish that Jess found online. It's technically supposed to be Cajun sausage, but Walmart doesn't exactly carry andouille sausage, so it's smoked sausage. With a little creative seasoning, that should work out fine. Dad doesn't really like rice, so I'll just fry up some of the sausage for him.
Dad has been a real pain in the ass lately. Just generally sarcastic, and obnoxious. Jess finally pointed it out to him and got an actual apology, so we'll see if it makes a difference. He doesn't seem to understand that Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is not a role model. It's obnoxious on the show, and even moreso in real life. I get that he's bored and frustrated, and that his partial hearing loss makes him feel even more excluded, but goddamn, I don't know what else we can do for him. He's got the internet, the TV, Audible, Netflix, HBOmax, Disney+, Hulu, and the whole wide internet. He's clothed and fed and taken care of. Jess helps him empty his colostomy bag for fuck's sake. (otherwise, it would be a mess of epic proportions--he has nerve damage in his left hand, and of course, the bag sits to the left side.) I'd like to get him another hobby other than posting on Facebook, but I can't imagine what it could be. Maybe I should set him loose on Reddit.
Part of it is that after a year of pandemic, we're all so burnt out. For a year, he didn't go out at all, and Jess and I were stuck right there with him. I don't want to go to the office, mind you. I like working from home, but sometimes, it's a little draining, and honestly, I don't know how Jess does it.
Almost time for work now. Sorry for the extended whining lately. It'll get better, I promise.
