All I want for Christmas is you

Shawshank, December 13, 2023

Oh geez, I almost totally forgot to post today. I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings when I have to be up for first shift, so I figured that I would post as soon as I got home. Well, I was tired, so I went onto the bed for a quick hour nap. Pippin chose to come to bed with me, and snuggled right up under my chin, where she stayed for the hour that I was there.

Lawd, 4:30 cones wicked early – especially when I only lightly slept until about 12:30 or so this morning. I was either too hot, or way too cold. I did manage to fall into a nice deep sleep until Crystal’s alarm went off, which I quickly shut off, then 2 minutes later, mine went off. I shut the second alarm off pretty quickly, and started my day.

Feed the cats.

Turn on the coffee.

Eat a quick breakfast of a bowl of cereal.

Start the car, to let it warm up.

Make lunch.

From there I drove to work, and started the day. Turning on the lights, making coffee, verifying last nights counts. You know, all the fun stuff.

It was very slow this morning. Before I left, the delivery came, so for the last half hour, I put as much product out before I left.

So when I got home, I was a little tired, so like I said I put myself down for a nap. It was nice, and when I got up, I was freezing. I’ve slowly warmed up over the course of a couple of hours.

I fed the kitties.

And then I started dinner. Crystal gave me the choice of hamburgers or poutine. I chose poutine, and I am a fat man right now. Crystal just finished the dishes m, and Pippin has taken over the cube. I’m sure Chaucer just decided it wasn’t worth the effort, so I believed that he just went up onto the bed.

Another early day tomorrow. I’m working my first weekend day on Saturday. Then it’ll be the staff Christmas party on Sunday. Oh happy day!
