Friday Follies

So, as I said, I did NOT reset my alarm in the bedroom (hey, I forgot). So, when it went off at midnight, I said, “WTF?” and shut it off. Big mistake!

I woke up at 7:45 AM and raced to get ready for work. I am normally there between 7:00 and 7:30 AM. As I was pulling into the driveway, my work phone rang. It was a co-worker checking to see if I was okay.

When I came in all the lights were on (I normally turn them on each day). My new boss and the Director of IT stopped me to see if everything was okay (as the Director said, “You’re always here when I come in so we were worried.”)

I explained what happened, but I felt like an ass.

The worst part was I’d planned on going to the out-patient clinic at 7:00 AM and getting my blood drawn for next Saturday’s doctor visit. So, instead, I went there at lunch. As always, there was a problem (I have crappy veins). So, after she dug a while in my left arm, she gave up and tried my right arm. She finally found one that worked and drew off six vials of blood.

Since I was on the extreme wrong side of town, I went to the Big Boy and ate their veal parmesan with a Caesar salad. It was a little pricey, but damn good!

When I left work at 5:00 PM, it was 14 degrees in Redford.

Back at home, I started to clean the house. I got as far as vacuuming and sweeping everything when I decided the rest could wait.

I warmed up one of the country-style spare ribs and another baked potato for dinner. Man, that’s a lot of meat!

I watched taped TV until 10:00 PM and then went to bed.
