I’m gonna make this brief, as I’m really trying to keep my eyes focused. I had a really good sleep, all the way up to when my alarm went off. If Podrick was doing anything, I didn’t hear shit last night!

It was a very nice and relaxing day. We only did one thing: Balatro. I surprised myself twice yesterday. I won a couple of times unlocking a deck. So I checked out the newest deck, and within 10 minutes, I had beaten it. I was wicked surprised.

So yeah, after the Balatro-fest, we had some really terrific bacon cheeseburgers for dinner. They were cooked perfectly.

Today, working the swing shift. Shouldn’t be too bad. It does feel a little chilly out there this morning, but it’s still early, it’ll warm up.

The tiny menace let me sleep in a extra hour this morning. That was so nice of him. Although he was a bit of an ass when I got up in the middle of the night. He tried to get into the toilet when I opened the lid, and then he attacked my feet as I walked into the bedroom.

And then I slept.

The bed was perfectly warm this morning. I woke up to the tiny Podrick bouncing all over the bed. So I figured that it was time to haul myself out of bed. Podrick sang for his breakfast this morning, and I think he’s out doing Podrick things. Probably sitting on the back table enjoying the sun. Podrick is growing like a weed. But not the normal way. He’s growing in spurts. His legs are long and spindly. His head is a size too small for his body, and his paws are getting larger and larger.

I have no plans for today. It looks like it’ll be somewhat nice of a day. I haven’t looked at the weather app yet, but we’re still under an air quality alert for the next couple of days. It was pretty hazy last night.

The Beautiful One decided last night that we’ll be having burgers for dinner tonight! That’s very exciting if you ask me. We both love us some burgers. So I’ll cook up some bacon, and fries. We’ll feast.

Good morning my friends. I woke up at one point and The Beautiful One was gone out of the bed. She rescued me from Podrick who woke up a couple of hours earlier. He’s starting to slow down a little now. Hopefully, he won’t be like yesterday – full speed all morning, and just as I was leaving, he passed out.

The air quality dropped yesterday afternoon/evening. Slowly but surely the haze and smoke smell slowly started creeping back into the area. That didn’t stop people from coming in. Thankfully for last night and tonight, we have three people in at night. It’ll help because we have another delivery coming in tonight. Just looking quickly out the window, it doesn’t seem like the haze is out there right now.

All that stands between me and a day off, is a simple 8 hour shift. It’ll go very good tonight, I can feel it in my bones. We’ll make the store look good, and get out some drinks when they come in. it’ll also be a good weekend, I open on Saturday, and then I’m working all Sunday. I think it’ll be a pretty good weekend, with possible rain on Sunday, but that’s ok as well.

But it’s a bright and sunny day so far. I can hear the birds are singing out the back door. The kittens are quiet, so I’m really hoping that they’re sharing the back table. Maybe they are. They’ve done it in the past, and as soon as one of us goes to look, Podrick starts something with Pippin.

Update: nope, Pippin is on the fridge, brooding. Podrick is lounging on the back table. thankfully, Pippin has been holding her ground, and standing up to him. They’ll get better and better, and one winter afternoon, one of us will walk into the bedroom, and they’ll be curled up snuggled in the nest.

I hope.

Hey you, always on the run gotta slow it down, baby, gotta have some fun

Good morning party people! We’re all awake here. I tried to sleep just a little longer, but my mistake was having to get up and use the bathroom. That was the mistake – Podrick was in his element. He tried to jump up into the toilet when I lifted the lid. He got shut down and ran away.

I did my business and climbed back into bed to try and sleep for another hour. I couldn’t. I was already awake, and Podrick thought that it was time to get up. He knocked my deodorant down off the bathroom organizer, and let it slide across the floor, so I got up and we started our day. He really tried to be quiet, all of his toys were spread out from the living room, almost all the way to the back door.

Back to work this afternoon. It does look like it’ll be a nice day today. The sun is shining, and I’ve heard some birds singing out there. It does look a little breezy, but we’ve been dealing with wind for a couple of weeks, what’s another day?
