Hands and hearts that ain’t got scars, they ain’t worth holding

I had a pretty good sleep. Then I dozed for the rest of my stay in bed this morning. I wish that either the fan would be a lot louder, or my mind could handle the sleep headphones being louder. If either of those two things were louder, I could drown out what Podrick was doing.

He was a busy little beaver this morning.

It’s another bright and sunny day out there. Hopefully, the sun and lack of massive wind will stay for the rest of the day. I’m the adult in the store tonight. Tomorrow’s alarm has already been set.

It was a nice day off yesterday. Of course, it was too short. But that’s a day off for you. We didn’t do too much. Crystal got a notification that her laptop was available to be picked up. So I got dressed, and decided that I’d pick it up, and then i would go and wash the winter off the truck.

We had lunch, and then Crystal set up her laptop, while I played Saints Row 3. We had a really yummy taco bowls for dinner. I saved some of the left overs to mix into my Kraft Dinner for lunch.

Smackdown! tonight, and then Backlash tomorrow afternoon. We won’t be heading over to Shady Acres on Sunday, as my dad has chemo the next day. There’s no need for them to expend energy entertaining us. I’ve already said to Crystal, tomorrow after work, I’ll come down to pick her up, and we’ll head to the greenhouse to pick something up for Mother’s Day, and we’ll deliver it Saturday afternoon.

It’s bright and sunny, and maybe, just maybe summer is starting to arrive. I already have a window and the door open. Both the kitties are looking out the back door.

Podrick has been active since around 4:47 this morning. I know this, because that’s when I went to the bathroom, and grabbed the first of two soda caps that manifested right outside our bedroom door. The second one was being played with behind the bathroom door. With those taken away, I think I only got up once or twice more to admonish him (please please, for the love of god, just please go and take a nap until it’s daylight out there).

There’s a street sweeper out there trying to clean up all the dirt and detritus that have lined our streets since fall. I might have to go and wash the truck today. Maybe even check out and see what the greenhouse has for wares. I’ll also be setting up all the planters sometime today.

Oh, and there’s a boat full of possible zombies floating in the ocean. This is some 28 day later shit.

Well, I’ve built myself quite the reputation

A big thank you to the Beautiful One, and Podrick for letting me sleep in this morning. I truly appreciates it. Not too much of a mess in the living room from Podrick. He did open the curtains all the way, just half way, and then he pulled them on the top sleeping area on the shelf.

It’s bright and sunny here this morning. Not to sound pessimistic, but it’s probably cold out there. I mean it’s May, but there’s been snow on the ground as if a couple of days ago. Everyone that I’ve been talking to at work, is completely tired of this weather. I am too. I’m tired of wearing layers.

If it stays within the forecast, the high of the day should be around 46°. That’s not too bad. Hopefully though, I hope the wind dies down. That’s what makes it a lot cooler here. It doesn’t look too breezy out there right now, which is awesome. Once Pippin is finished eating, I’ll open the back door.

Update: the back door has been opened. The table has been set up, then window opened a smidge. We now have two very happy kitties.

Happy Wednesday, y’all. Someone, pass the coffee.

If I look a little drunk, it’s ’cause I drank some

Podrick was an active boy this morning. Making just enough noise to cut through my sleep mask. The rain sleep daddy wasn’t enough to keep me asleep. I might have been able to fall back asleep if it was a little cooler in the bedroom, and if I could breathe through my nose.

The headphones that Crystal ordered for me came in yesterday about an hour or two before I needed to be at work, so I told my coworker that texted me, I’ll grab it when I come in for my shift. I got there, and chatted with coworkers, and once 1st shift left, I opened the package and plugged it in to charge.

They are very very comfortable. Aside of just getting used to a bit of a rub, at points I even forgot one was on my ear. Nice clear sound. And the best part, one lasted over 5 hours. The Temu earbuds that I bought last year for like $8. They only lasted about 2 hours. So the new ones are advertised to last 8 hours on a charge. Not bad for $30.

Crystal let me sleep until 7 this morning. She would tell me what Podrick got into, then would tell me to go back to sleep. I think I mostly dozed. And, it’s Monday morning. Let’s get ready to start the new week.

It snowed last night, sometime in the night. There’s not a lot that fell, and even less after Crystal said it rained. But I see it. It’s May. It’s not supposed to snow in May! But here we are. The coffee has been brewed, and the kitties have been fed.

Back to work this afternoon. Working most of the week, and part of the weekend. I think WWE Backlash is on Saturday. I think I saw it pop up on Netflix yesterday. So that’ll probably wave what we watch. But that’s like 400 years away. But we’ll get there.

We always do!

So let’s get this day started – with more coffee.
