So anyway, about my day... I had been kicking around the idea of bringing either my cat or my rats to work while my boss was away for quite a while. I've brought Pickles in a few times, but he doesn't take travelling as well as he used to. Well today I finally did it, I brought Stanley cat to work. I had my own "Bring your pets (children to normal people) to work day"! Stan is really good about travelling. He's a very smart and laid back cat. I started when he was a kitten, taking him to my brother's house, my friends houses, my parents and my boyfriends. Just throw the litter box (it has a handle and a lid) in the trunk along with a small paper bag with his food bowls. I also put a plastic bag over the poop end of his pooper scooper so I can put it in the paper bag. Pretty damn easy. I always thought that since he's an indoor cat, he'd enjoy little outings every once in a while. I even took him to my aunts for a family get together one summer. It was for our annual beer bust. I was walking him around the yard on a leash. People thought I was nuts (but it's a given, my family thinking that...they KNOW me) but they were amazed at how well behaved and smart Stan was. So he's been doing very well here at work. He's a people cat, loves meeting new people, so he spent most of the day in the warehouse with the shipping lady. She really appreciates animals, too, so she played with him a lot. She even made him a little toy out of shipping materials! Every now and again he'd come over and jump up on my desk to lick my nose and lounge on my paperwork. As of now, he's laying under my desk sleeping, as he's been awake ALL DAY. Very rare for a cat. He's going to sleep very well tonight. I love Stanley so much, he's like having a dog, but with much less maintenance.
My day has been good though, had some things to do. It hasn't been quite so slow this week. I even got an email back from Kim. I'm happy to hear that she has gotten a job offer with another stable. It seems that her business isn't going so well with her partner. The compatibility between business partners is crucial. Seems her partner is bad in the decision making department and they were having some problems. So Kim has encouraged her partner to go off on her own again so she can go work for this other stable. Good for her. I admire her, she's so strong willed. Her new job sounds like it will be perfect for her, training horses and running a stable.
I'm kind of hanging around work a little late tonight. I don't feel like going home to my hothouse. I miss Ron as usual. Tomorrow night should be fun, I'll be able to get my mind off pining away and go see a friend I haven't seen in a year. Good 'ol Devin is flying in tomorrow night and Melanie and I are gonna go pick 'im up. Yay. He'll be here for a week and we gedda go campin' campin'!!!!! So that should make the rest of the week fly until Ron gets back on Saturday afternoon. I can't fucking WAIT. I'm gonna squeeze him to death when I see him!!! AND do other things of course... A little sexual frustration? Just a TAD. But it's kinda fun 'cause it'll make it all the better when he gets back!!!!!
I'm trying to decide what I want for dinner tonight. Should I be lazy and just get some fast food on the way home? I don't feel like cooking tonight because it's so fucking hot. I feel like spaghetti... Then again, I haven't had Shabu Shabu in a while. My ex and I discovered it and would have it a few times a month. It's quite expensive so I can't do it as much as I used to. I've been meaning to take Ron out for it, but money's been too tight. Same with him...he's been wanting to take me, but it's just too expensive. Ah well...it's a treat and we'll be able to do it together SOME day. Anyway, it's this Japanese dish...I think I've talked about it on here before. The restaurant is set up like a big bar, with the waitresses in the middle. In front of each place setting is a burner with a pot of water, which is turned to boiling once you sit down. The usual shabu shabu meal consists of a plate of fresh veggies: cabbage, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, onions and a side of noodles...and another plate of thinly sliced beef. You also get two bowls of different sauces and a bowl of rice. You're supposed to cook the veggies and beef in the water and dip them in the sauces and eat them with the rice. At the end, you're left with a big pot of beef broth that you can eat with your leftover rice...I usually save most of my rice and make a sort of porridge. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! OH YEA! I'm totally gonna go get me some Shabu Shabu tonight! It's right down the street from work. So I can leave Stan here and come back to pick 'im up on the way home. Alright! I've made a dinner decision! Something different and outta the ordinary to help me with my lonely duldrums!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh!!! Ronnie poopie poop just called my cell phone! He told me all about his adventures in Alaska so far. He says it's gorgeous and so full of nature. In the meantime I'm wailing..."I'M SO JEALOUS! I WANNA GOOOOOO!!! I HATE THE CITY! I WANT NATURE!!!" I'm sure we're gonna visit Alaska together someday. Of course it was wonderful to hear his voice and his silly laugh. I love his laugh. *aauaowoghghgogogghhghg* M'kay....yea....
I guess I'll stop now and finish up some extra things here at work before I go. I may as well get some extra stuff done while I'm waiting for the Shabu Shabu place to open. They serve dinner only so they won't be open 'til 5:00. MMmmm, yummy yummy Shabu Shabu!
