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

And that’s where the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream

Good morning everyone! We’re up wicked early, because we have to be in SlightlyBiggerTown for 8am to have the truck serviced. After the truck is completed, we’ll be doing our regular shopping run, and gathering other supplies as well.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. Not too busy, not too slow. It was a nice change from Tuesday, when we had three trucks arrive when there was just two of us to deal with them. I managed to mostly remember everything, minus boxing the cigarettes up until after we were closed. A minor thing.

But right now, I have both cats on my lap. They’re gonna be pissed when after I hit send in this post, I’ll be getting up for more coffee, and to get dressed. Chaucer is re-adjusting, and getting more comfortable.

I hope y’all have a great Friyay! More coffee for everyone!

It’s bright and sunny here in TinyTown. I’m sure it’s still chilly out there, but at least for right now, it’s sunny out there. We’re up and on the couch, Chaucer is snuggled up between us, and Pippin is off doing Pippin things.

Yesterday was a nice and relaxing day. Around 10am, I got up and went to the small grocery store, and picked up something lunch, and dinner. From there, I came back home and made myself something for lunch.

After lunch, I took the Switch controller, and purchased Balatro. It’s a really fun game, even though I really have no idea what I’m doing. I think I made it to level 15. I think. We took turns playing, and later on in the evening when Crystal took a bath, she played from the tub.

Back to work this afternoon. And tomorrow, I’m sure I’ll be posting my morning post from the car dealership. We’ll be taking mom’s truck for some servicing. After that, I suggested we do our Saturday stuff. So we’ll be grocery shopping and all the fun stuff that comes with it.

But for right now, coffee and kitty snuggles. Happy Thursday y’all!

Good morning everyone. It looks like a nice somewhat sunny, somewhat windy day out there. But that’s ok, it still looks pretty nice out there. It’s a little cooler than it has been, but I’m still not complaining. I’d rather have -10, vs. -42. But that’s just me.

I have both cats on my lap. And I really don’t know what’s gonna happen today. I have no plans. Sooner or later, I’ll get up and go and get the mail, and maybe find something for dinner today. But that’s for future Shawshank. Right now, I’m enjoying the kitties.

Other than that, work went well yesterday. The time actually went really quickly. I couldn’t believe that I looked up, and it was already 7:45, which prompted me to get my ass in gear so we could get out on time. probably the reason the time went so quickly, we had three deliveries. Three! With two people to unload. Good times!

But today, the skies the limit. The skies the limit with another cup of coffee. Happy Wednesday!

Good morning my friends. It’s another gray day here is TinyTown. I slept ok last night. I think the blankets slipped down in the night, so I was slightly chilly. At the same time I was a little warm. You just can’t make a body 100% comfortable.

But it’s a new day here. Yesterday was nice and relaxing. I did the chores in the morning, and then I set up the Switch, so Crystal could be a punch-cat in Skyrim. I think she had a blast for the afternoon.

I made breakfast for dinner last night. But instead of the normal hash browns, I threw tater tots in the waffle iron, and made tater tot waffles for us. They turned out pretty good, and if I make them again, I’ll modify the “original recipe”.

Good times.

It looked like we got a slight dusting of snow sometimes in the night. Second winter really really wanted to come back, sooner rather than later. Not today my friend, not today.
