Day 252: Finding adventure when and where you can

Again with the Jaguars... really? I saw at least 3 more on the roads today... there must have been some kind of sale because that's just crazy.

I'm also realizing I'm not as young as I used to be... I know Sherlock, that's a no brainer right?

Some days I'm more painfully aware of it than others, and today is one of them.

It's very difficult to get through the day when I've been out late the night before, and that's exactly what is happening today.

Throw in a little drinking and it's a recipe for disaster.

I'm so tired, I can't get my brain to engage and sadly I'm going into work for a few hours to hopefully get us ahead.

I'm lucky I didn't get into a crash driving in, I think I was just following the cars in front of me on the road not even thinking about where I was going.

Needless to say I spent about twice the time I needed to get the work done, but at least we're making some progress... or I hope we are.

The better part of my day outside of work has been spent trying to track down a strange cat smell that has overtaken the living room.

Yesterday it smelled a litle like a sour towel, so I went to town with the febreeze and room freshner and called it good.

But today... it's back and it's not a towel smell, its a cat smell.

Needless to say my usually very accute senses are very dulled which makes it even harder to track down a mysterious scent.

So I ended up sniffing my way through the furniture, rug, and floor like a bloodhound tracking down prey.

Once I found something that seemed to be it, I busted out the cleaner and went to town, then about the time I tried to eat or relax on the couch, it was back! Gggrrrr!

And so it continued, sniff, clean, relax, smell... and over and over it went. After cleaning the entire floor I found it on the back corner of the couch!

Presto, found and eliminated! Now I can get on with my life.... and more importantly vegging on the couch.

Life is about adventures, but each experience is the adventure you make of it.

For some people finding the cat smell in the room is an adventure, now it's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's about all I can handle today.

At least my foodfest is continuing, now that's an adventure I can get into! There's nothing like greasy food to perk you up after a long night... and that's exactly what I'm doing.

Tonight, it's all about a footlong quarter pound chili cheese dog and cheese tots from Sonic..... mmmmmmm.... delicious.

Certainly not healthy, and certainly not delicious in a gourmet kind of way, but hot dogs and cheesy tots have their own set of rules and grading scale.... and their own sense of adventure.

Sometimes you just have to find and appreciate the adventure that the day gives you.
