Well the start of my sleep was amazing. Then I woke up. I refused to look at the time, figuring I would just fall asleep.

Not really.

Until I heard the pet feeder go off at 5:30, then I could fall back asleep. For a half hour. Yep, it’s my once monthly up early during the week. I’m working the mid-shift today. And, I believe, opening tomorrow.

We didn’t do too much of anything yesterday, other than listen to then high winds. We’ve been in orange level winds all day yesterday. Gusts up to 110kph. They’ve slowed today. I believe the gusts are going to be up to around 50kph.

We also popped over to the second hand store, but left with nothing. We just didn’t see anything that jumped out at us. Sometimes that’s the case.

Injecting coffee into my veins this morning. But at least it’s bright and sunny out there. Happy Friyay!

Good morning my friends. Podrick was a gentleman this morning, and while it sounded like he was ripping the place down, he was actually pretty good. He pulled the towels down in the bathroom, but I think Pippin was the one to open the cabinet door.

We’re under a wind warning today. Winds up to 90kph, gusting to 110kph. Everyone is freaking out, and I’m thinking that sounds like it’s strong, until I converted to 🦅. 110kph is like 68mph. So it’s not that bad. So yeah it’s supposed to be windy, but right now it’s just a little breezy.

I’m on a day off today, with absolutely nothing planned. Wait, no. I have something planned. Later, when it opens, we’ll head over to the second hand store to see what treasures they have waiting for us today. Other than that, nothing. I’m only putting my shoes on once today.

I thought that I had another paragraph in me, but alas, earwax. Nothing else is in my mostly empty mind. So yeah, happy Thursday. Have another cup of coffee. You deserve it.

Also, I think this is my 2100th post. If it is, I’ll update it, after I get the notification.

Good morning my friends. We had a snuggling bed this morning. Miss Pippin snuggled behind my knees. I rolled over after a while, and she came up and under the blankets to snuggle a little more, while Podrick ran around playing with a catnip stick, and a soda cap.

It’s another bright and sunny day out there. The back door is already open, and the kitties are sitting together to enjoy the sun, and the morning smells.

One more shift, and I get the day off. The trade off is that I’m working all weekend. I can’t complain though, it’s only one full weekend a month. And I don’t mind working Saturday mornings. I much prefer Saturday mornings vs. Saturday afternoons.

So let’s get the day started, and refill our coffee cups. It’s Wednesday my dudes.

Ahhhhh!

If my neck’s a little red, it’s ’cause I am one

I’m awake. A little groggy. I did the total dad thing? And yelled at Podrick from the bed. Did it help? I have no idea, but I felt better, and managed each time to fall back asleep.

A bit of a headache this morning. Hopefully it’ll go away on its own. But if it doesn’t, I’ll take something, after my eyes have actually focused. I think it was a good sleep. I don’t remember moving too much, which is probably why I have a headache.

And it’s bright out there. It doesn’t look too windy out there. But really, really sunny out. Hopefully, it’ll be like this all afternoon. I mean, it was really nice, even with the rain, and the wind yesterday. It finally felt like spring when I was outside yesterday.

I forgot to buy creamer last night. I remembered as I was pulling what was left out of the fridge. So, I’ll pick some up tonight at work.

The back door is open, so the cats are over there with their little faces pressed up against the screen.

If it don’t kill me, then I ain’t living

Morning all. It’s been a. Very nice morning here so far. Podrick was a very good boy this morning. Only trying to wake us (me) up. It kinda worked, but I did my best to ignore him as he rummaged around, doing what he does.

I believe we had a pretty good sloth weekend. Since we didn’t go to Shady Acres on Sunday, I don’t believe that we even got dressed. Crystal did her needlepoint, and I played saints row 3. We came to the determination that while I love playing the game, after I wasn’t as killable – that only took maybe 1/2 – 45 minutes, the upcoming missions that need to be done to advance the game, they’re the missions that I hate to do, in fact I watched Crystal perform these missions with a lot of swearing.

So I turned on the cheat codes for the afternoon.

We watched a couple of episodes of Yellowstone. We’re on the last season, and only have two episodes of the series left. After the OG, that’ll open up Yellowstone: Marshalls – Kayce’s spinoff, and in a bout a week or so, Yellowstone: Beth and Rip.

Let’s go!

Working the closing shift today – Wednesday. I’ll have Thursday off, then I’m working the rest of the week until my next day off – Monday. It’s going to be a busy weekend, because it’s basically the start of summer with the Victoria Day long weekend.

My birthday is coming soon.

It should be a lot warmer by now.

It’s not.

But there’s no snow, and it’s lighter longer. And, I think most importantly – I’m not wearing layers any more 😀👈
