And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie’s a hand o’ thine! Shawshank, December 26, 2025 Good morning, my friends! Happy Boxing Day everyone. The Beautiful One (with an assist by Podrick), let me sleep in until 8:10. Thank you very much. Podrick is currently stalking Pippin. I have to check if SlightlyBiggerTown will be open today. I’d rather do the grocery shopping, and all that fun stuff today, rather than do it after work tomorrow. So after I post I’ll go and make sure everything will be open. It was a really good day yesterday. We went to the nursing home to have Christmas lunch with gramma. She was doing very well yesterday. It was overwhelming. You could tell she wasn’t used to so many people in the home. But exchanged presents with her, and did a video call to my aunt and cousin. Another resident came in and sat with us, and followed us to where we were going to have lunch. The residents daughter found her, and took her back to their little celebration area. We gave hugs and kisses to gramma, and we went home for a couple of hours. A couple of hours later, we headed over to Shady Acres, to exchange gifts with my parents. The bulk of the gifts will arrive on Monday, so I’ll head up there again, after their other presents are wrapped. But more importantly, Crystal’s presents are in there, so those will get wrapped first! The kitties presents are in that package as well. They’ve been very good, so they’ll get them, sans wrapping paper. I opened up a present from my parents, and I got a beautiful pair of moccasins. New slippers! And they’re so warm! Crystal got a pair of mukluks, and we both got an air fryer, which I’m sure we’ll use a lot! Back to work tomorrow. Working the weekend. That’s the way the cards are played; easy week, and slowly get used to working the full week again. It shouldn’t be too bad. But let’s get some more coffee before anything actually happens. Happy Boxing Day everyone! Life blogbloggerchore daycoffeejournalmorningsTinyTown
Life In your heart I see the start of every night and every day June 7, 2021 I awoke with a start at 6:27 am, when I heard a door slam. Then I just told myself it was my neighbour heading to work. that calmed me down enough to fall asleep again. I awoke with a start when my alarm woke me up at 7:01. It felt like my alarm had been… Read More
Life Waitress asked me, “Is Pepsi fine?” I wanted a Coke but said “It’s more than alright” March 20, 2026 So I wake up and it’s dark. It’s dark because, it’s still dark out. My face feels weird. Both masks are gone. Great, someone took the masks off my face in the night. I try to calmly pat around my side of the bed to find them. Eventually, almost in a quiet panic, I find… Read More
Life And if I smell like smoke, I’ma light it up April 11, 2026 So yeah, here we are. I’ve been up since around 4. I couldn’t regulate my temperature. I was so very warm, so I move up a layer, then I was freezing. I couldn’t find a happy position that kept my temp where I wanted it. I made it to about 6:15, and said, fuck it.… Read More
