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

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Yep, it snowed yesterday, and it stuck. According to one of my weather apps, it’s not supposed to snow today. That’s a good thing, as our sale starts today. We need a good group to come through, to put BossLadys mind at ease.

I slept ok yesterday. While I was up about five minutes before the alarm went off, Crystal on the other hand, has been up for at least 3 hours. That makes me sad, because I can’t fix that. She deserves some awesome sleeps. Instead, she’s up when it’s still dark out.

It was a busy day at work. Just scrambling to finish everything up and prepare for today. I think we’re pretty much ready for whatever is thrown at us. Either way the sale starts today.

I don’t have too much else. Let’s greet the day, and kick it right in the dick hole. Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here. Let’s hope it comes quickly!

Jesus, I need more coffee.

Get on your bikes and ride

Good morning my friends. Another day is upon us. It’s cold, and hasn’t started to snow. We are expecting a couple of inches. But I’ll believe that when the snow starts. It looks like a post apocalyptic world out there. It’s an ugly snow that fell. Usually the first snow fall is pretty. Not today, or yesterday for that matter. All it really caused was mud behind the building.

Yesterday was long. BossLady actually had appointments yesterday. And according to her, all the appointments actually bought something. I don’t think any of them actually picked something up yesterday. It’s all in the back of the store.

When I got home, Crystal had the oven preheated and ready for dinner to into it. We had a wonderful dinner of chicken nugget poutine. After dinner, I turned on The Stand (1994). It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. All I can see is TV soap opera acting a lot of the time.

But today is a new day. Let’s get the day started. The faster it starts, the faster it’ll be over. Happy Wednesday.

I’m not feeling alright today

Welp, as you can see, it’s freakin snowing out. I knew this last night, but you can’t believe it until you see it for yourself.

Good morning my friends, it’s Tuesday morning, and like I said yesterday, it’s the calm before the storm. BossLady is back and for the next two days, she’s having people come in for one-on-one sales and service. It’s gonna be a day for the next couple of days.

I’m a little anxious. She’s been gone for about 15 days, and we’ve had a very small army prepping for the sale. All the prices were completed to the best of our ability on Friday. So this’ll be the first time that she sees it complete.

Yesterday was a really nice sloth day. Crystal bought a new game so we took turns playing that yesterday. The game – Disco Elysium. it’s pretty fun, we’re still getting used to the gameplay and controls.

Coffee. I need more coffee.

And the gravedigger puts on the forceps*

By the time I had chosen the featured picture and started the upload, I noticed that I had already used the picture. I uploaded it anyways. So here we are. I nudged the heat up just a little bit. Just enough to turn it on. Just to take the edge off.

Winter is coming.

The bed was snuggly and we were a mess of legs. Every day when the alarm goes off, it scares me, and I just a little. Every day. And every day I think to myself, I need to turn the volume down. I always forget.

Maybe tonight will be different.

We’ll see.

I was having strange dreams. We were either hiding from something, or preparing to run or attack something. It was weird.m, as the dream I think, was playing out through flashbacks. I haven’t seen the whole dream, so I don’t really know what was going on.

So yesterday, I ended up jumping the truck, and we headed into SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries. It wasn’t too busy in the store, as we got there just literally minutes after they opened. So everything was nice and stocked. I don’t think we were in there too long. Before we could spit, we were on our way back to TinyTown.

We made it back and settled into a fun afternoon. Crystal was a paid monkey on TikTok. I had fun moderating the chat. By moderating, I mean I read stuff out to her, after she had already replied to the crowd. But I was having fun.

I was told I could be a voice actor.

I believe that I was being lied to.

But I ready from the book of Twilight, and all was good. It was a fun afternoon.

I don’t plan on doing a whole bunch of anything today. It’s the calm before the storm. BossLady is back today, and her first full day in the shop is tomorrow. yay.

But first, more coffee.

* how do you put on forceps? Also, why would a gravedigger have forceps?
