Up early. But change of plans for the day. My grandmother is very very sick, so I’ll be escorting my dad to YetAnotherBigTown today. It’s about 5 hours away. He has a big scan today, so I’ll be there with him, while my mom is pretty much on death watch.
So this’ll be a short post, as I’m gonna drink some coffee, then get dressed, and prepare to leave in like an hour and a half. It’s gonna be a long long day. Hopefully it’s a good good one.
Welp, we’re awake here. Crystal has probably been up for at least an hour. I’ve been up on and off since around 5:50ish. But I’ve been able to doze in the minutes that Pod wasn’t 4x4ing across my body, or climbing the screen, or using with me, or the edge of the bed to push off and launch himself on to one of the dressers.
It feels like a Monday.
But according to one of the news-casters, it’s Wednesday, and on Wednesday we wear pink.
The day is slowing inking itself across the sky this morning, and it looks windy out there. Hopefully, it’s not too cold out there, but if it is, I’ll have to deal with it. Yep, that’s correct, I’m heading g back to work this afternoon.
The last two days have been really nice and relaxing. Most of the chores got done, and most of the time, I simply sat on the couch. We watched wrestling, and some other shows. But mostly, I just tried to keep my shoulders relaxed. It was a good couple of days.
Back to work.
Coffee first.
Its been a morning so far here. Podrick and I aren’t talking this morning. He knows just how to push my buttons. Every time. The coffee has been brewed, and is currently being consumed.
I don’t even know what to write this morning. I’m tired, and I’m struggling to come up with anything would be interesting. Here in TinyTown, nothing much happens. I went to Shady Acres yesterday to bring in the wood pellets and to clean the stove.
It too about an hour to bring in the pellets, then to clean the stove. I have it down to a science now. I could probably do it in my sleep if I had to. There’s still more pellets to bring down. I haven’t decided if I’ll bring in a couple a day, or head over to Shady Acres tomorrow while my parents are in CapitalCity for cancer stuff, and just bring in all of them in one go.
On the way home, I stopped at the tiny grocery store for something for dinner. I had an idea of what I wanted to make. I only had to head up to work for the main ingredient. After that, we did things, which I can’t remember.
For dinner, we had ghetto chicken parm, and it was spectacular. We watched an episode of FBI, because Netflix and RAW were acting up. After the episode, I took a chance and put on the episode of RAW, while it was still live – to not get commercials, and it actually played.
It wasn’t the best episode, but I was still sports entertained. Welcome to Tuesday. Make it count, y’all.
Podrick got me up a little early this morning. He had the straw out of one of Crystal’s water jugs. I took it, but I know if I tried to go back to bed, he would escalate. It’s was 6:30. I had already been up once, maybe 20 minutes earlier.
So I’m up. I closed the door to the bedroom with Crystal, and Pippin in it. Hopefully Crystal will be able to sleep for a little while longer. She needs the sleep more than me. Podrick is being OK right now. He’s just following me around because he wants to be fed, but since Pippin eats in the bedroom, he has to wait.
I have to go over to Shady Acres today. I have to clean the pellet stove, and haul in probably 10 (oh god, I hope it’s just 10) bags of pellets. I’ll do that after my chores, and brunch here. So probably by 1 or so.
Two days off to do as little as possible. Think it’ll happen? Coffee first.
It took a hot minute to fall asleep last night. I wasn’t high enough. The sleep daddy that I chose wasn’t doing it for me. After trying, and resetting the video 4 or 5 times, I put it in one that I know would work. I closed my eyes – oh and let me say, last night every time I closed my eyes, they felt like they were open still. Really fucked with my mind last night. It wasn’t too nice, lemme tell you. I only had to reset the new video once, maybe twice.
I had a plan, that if I woke up in the night, to go to the bathroom, I’d give a snack to Podrick, to see if that would help him sleep in just a little. Well, of course I wouldn’t get up last night.
I’m actually happy that I didn’t. I slept through until I looked at my phone, 6:30? perhaps. Not too shabby.
So this will be a short one this morning. Back to work for the all-day Sunday shift. I woke up this morning, and the first thought I had was, it’s gonna be a good day.
So, I’m gonna have a good day. I hope y’all do as well. I’ll be finishing up Elimination Chamber when I get home. I just can’t really surf the information super highway until I finish the PPV. Spoilers and the such.
Coffee.
