beansideMy cat is an asshole. I was all snuggled in bed, dozing nicely, and Boodle came in not once, not twice, but three times, yelling her fucking head off for me to get up and feed her. I am now up, but I'm grumpy about it. So far the morning has not been any better. The cats have devoured their food, they're screaming for more. We have no more. Jess is running out to get more food until our order from petsmart is ready, and the dog is barky. Also my sister is awake, and is very loud. I am already fried and it's not even 9.
On our list for today, we have Walmart to pick up an order, the dispensary for some gummies and tincture and Petsmart to pick up the order. Of course, none of these are in the same direction, so we'll be running all over creation.
Yesterday, I did end up going over to help coworker K with setting up her computer. She'd made it most of the way through and then got stuck. The hardest part was that she didn't know the password to her wifi, so we ended up calling Comcast, who talked us through using the voice TV to tell us the password. Once we had that (and I realized that capslock was on) we were good to go. She really wanted to buy us lunch, but I managed to convince her that it wasn't needed.
Then, it was home to wait for the various packages that were due to come. The meat still hasn't arrived, and I'm getting anxious. I'm wondering if it's still going to be frozen. It would have been fine yesterday, but now we're going on three days, and I'm not sure the packaging is that good in seventy five degree heat. As I type, the status simply says "pending." So that's probably not coming today again. Fuck.
On the nice side, our Disney Magicbands arrived! They're a lot lighter and a little smaller than I expected. Technology is really cool. They will allow us to unlock our hotel door, swipe into the park and will automatically download every picture to our file, both on ride and any we get from the roving photographers. We can also link a card to it and use it to charge any incidentals to our room, which is a bonus of being in a Disney hotel. I probably won't use that much, since it seems like it could really fuck with the budget, but it's nice to know it's there.
On the minus side, Dad continues to be dubious about our trip. I think Jess is his emotional support person, and the thought of being without them for a week is freaking him out. I really think maybe staying at an assisted living facility for the week might be best for him while we're gone. He wont like the idea, I don't think. But it would only be for a week. That would give my sister a little break, too. The fact of the matter is that we need the vacation. Jess has been caring for him for nearly 6 years now, with only a few days break here and there, and I've been work from home since March 2020, with one break to go to Busch Gardens for 2 days. Otherwise, I've mostly been at home with him. It's my 50th birthday in December and Jess' 40th in May, and dammit, we deserve something nice. Right now, it's just mild grumblings about giving Disney and the state of Florida any money, but I'm sure it'll get louder as the trip gets closer. It's stressing Jess out more than me. There's a reason I'm making sure this is paid well in advance, and it's so that it's a fait accompli. Once it's paid and locked in, I'll know it's happening. Thus why we ordered the Magicbands 10 months early. I want proof that I can look at.
Okay, I'm done rambling for now, and I've settled down some. Have a good Saturday everyone!
