I’m just a 40-something bearded guy trying to get a fresh start.

Six o’clock on Friday evening momma doesn’t know she’s leaving

Ugh, back to work today. 4:30 came very early, but you know what came even earlier? Motherfucking 4:25. Yep, I stared at the clock until the alarm went off, and then my day started.

Make coffee.

Get dressed.

Feed the cats.

Open curtains.

Thankfully, it didn’t snow last night. We are however, awaiting the next snow fall. It should happen sometime tomorrow. It’s only a couple of inches. So that shouldn’t be too had. I mean, we survived 16” inches.

Mostly survived.

The parking lot isn’t cleaned yet. So I have to park on the road like some kind of homeless person.

Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking ’bout tomorrow

Small changes in the plans this morning. BossLady had texted me I think shortly after dinner last night m asking if I was ready for work. Short story, long, we decided to play it by ear, and possibly open late, which is why this is getting posted close to my normal posting time, and not in the afternoon.

All roads in and out of TinyTown are still closed. Like in all those horror movies, we’re all alone. No way in or out. Isn’t this the start of either a vampire movie, or zombie? Hopefully that’s not the case.

It wasn’t too bad of a day. I took care of the chores almost in one fell swoop. Which is always possible, but for some reason, I like to stretch them out. After the chores, it was brunch time. As always, it went off without a hitch, and was very good.

From there, I got dressed and walked over to my parent’s place to begin the dig out. It did take too long to shovel their driveway from door to truck. Walked back home.

Then the winds started. There a lot of drifts around the Hot Mess Express. So I’ll have to dig out before work. If we work today that is.

I needs coffee. Happy Monday, bitches.

Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

Well, it is snowing out there. It hasn’t really accumulated too much around the flat, because the wind has never died down. I’m monitoring it, cause I’ll be trekking up to Shady Acres a couple of times today. Once, probably around noon, and then probably later in the day just to clean up what’s accumulated. My dad has a medical appointment on Tuesday, so he needs to have the driveway cleaned, so he can make it to the truck.

Since I’m supposed to be pushing a lot of snow, I decided to do the laundry yesterday. You know, one less chore today, because of the added snow shovelling chore today.

So it’s just the small chores to do this morning. Most importantly, there’s brunch to be made today. And we have to make waffles as well. So it’ll still be a busy morning. But an easy, busy morning.

But the snow is falling. And the wind is blowing. I think it’s going to be a cozy day, aside from the snow shovelling. We’ll be screwed if the wind decides to just stop, but for now, for the most part, Mother Nature is shovelling most of it. I can’t wait to see the snow drifts at work tomorrow. Hopefully the plow comes through a couple times today, and through the night. But we’ll see.

I need another cup of covfefe. But I have a tiny cat on me. Well, she’ll have to get up, and I think that she’s ok with that.
