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

I was cutting the rug down at place called The Jug

Good morning everyone! It’s that time of the year, when the alarm goes off at 7, it’s starting to get daylight out. It’s amazing. Winter is coming. But it’s almost fully light out there.

But of course, there’s the wind.

There’s always some sort of wind out there. According to the weather app, it’s supposed to be windy with a high of 37°. It’s supposed to be cloudy all day, then totally switch over to a windy day.

Nothing much going on right now. Chaucer bullied his way on to my lap. Pippin is over my shoulder, staring at the lamp, like she’s just noticed its presence this morning. She’s a weird one for sure.

It’s long distance chore day. I have to make a grocery list, as we’re heading off to SlightlyBiggerTown later on this morning to grab some stuff for the next week. We also need some weed, since I’ve been freeloading off of Crystal’s vape at night for the last couple of days.

Pippin has just kicked Chaucer off my lap, so it’s the start of a typical morning here. The coffee has finished brewing, and we’ve come to the end of another post.

Let’s all have a great Saturday!

Everybody’s working for the weekend

Home. It’s been a long long long week. Course I say it every week, but this week, I mean it. 4:30 comes wicked early every day.

We were slightly over staffed for the day. 3 people all morning. Thankfully the grocery order was small. We got it done completely in about 15-20 minutes. Then I went for a little shopping trip. The restaurant is still closed, so last night I asked Crystal if she would like Pierogi for dinner, as they’re on sale this week. She said yes, so I grabbed a couple packs of cheap ass bacon as well. Also grabbed some gas.

Home.

I didn’t tell Crystal that I’d be coming home early, so she’s in the middle of her Just Dance playlist. So I’m watching her gyrate and move around the living room. There’s a lot of perfects popping up. She’s really good.

I’m dead tired. I don’t know why. I’m sleeping through the night mostly. The night before last I slept all the way through, and last night I was only up once about 3 or so. So I’m getting sleep. Why isn’t it more restful?

Off to SlightlyBiggerTown tomorrow for groceries, and weed. Then absolutely nothing for the rest of the weekend. Other than chores, and Shady Acres on Sunday.

Monday comes early. 4:30 comes early.

Cartwheels in my stomach when you walk in

It’s bright and sunny outside. With just a slight cool wind. Yep, I’m home from work. It was wicked dead today. Only a couple of customers within the first couple of hours. But whatever, it doesn’t matter because I’m home now. We’re just trying to figure out what to have for dinner.

Pippin was a crazy kitten this morning. If she had to walk anywhere, she ran at full speed all around the flat. She just chased Chaucer off my lap, so she could sit on it.

Nothing much else going on. More rumours about the date night restaurant. They haven’t been open all this week, so I’m thinking, chances are pretty slim that they’ll be open tomorrow. So we’ll head over to the other restaurant in town. And get something to eat. Or maybe I’ll just call them and order a pizza for takeout.

But for now, that’s all folks. Happy Thursday.

But no one needs to know right now

Hey hey. It’s ya boy, Shawshank here. Just got home from work and Shady Acres. I had to clean the pellet stove for the fam. With that taken care of, a bookcase appeared and I had to haul that upstairs as well.

Crystal texted this morning to say that she wasn’t feeling too well, so before I left I picked up some ginger ale and some Gatorade. I didn’t text to ask what she wanted, and just got something. I poured her a nice glass of ginger ale, and she’s happy now. It doesn’t seem like she’s sick sick. Just ugh. Yanno?

Work was wicked quiet this morning. Do we did some cleaning, and sitting around. It’s nice every once in a while. Then groceries came, so we worked on that until it was time to leave.

I don’t know if Crystal is going to have dinner here. If not, I’ll figure something out for myself. If she is, I’ll figure out something for the both of us.

Yep yep yep.
