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

It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid

It’s a gray Saturday morning. Hopefully the cloud cover dissipates, because there’s supposed to be a solar eclipse today. This morning in fact. Hopefully we’ll be able to see it.

Chaucer is a needy boy this morning. He’s already on my lap. He’s a good boy. The bed was so comfy this morning. Maybe just a touch too warm, but it was still very comfortable. Pippin is at the back door. I opened it today, it’s not too bad out, but the window is closed.

Not too much planned for today. We’ll be heading into SlightlyBiggerTown just to grab some stuff that we didn’t last week, mostly to justify a trip to the drug store. Wow, you see how slick I am? Damn I’m good.

But it’s just going to be a nice relaxing day I think. That’ll be nice. Just Crystal and I and the kittens. The kittens by the way, didn’t snuggle this morning. I think Chaucer is making up for it right now.

Made a meal outta me, and come back for more

Fuck yeah, it’s motherfucking Friyay. It’s about time, I tells ya. It’s been a long ass week. But finally, it’s Friday. I’m so happy to hear this news. The bed was so snuggly this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed. In fact, in the night, Pippin really wanted to snuggle with me, she climbed in, but I don’t think she could get comfortable. So she left.

I fell asleep very quickly after she left.

I was having some sort of dream just before the alarm went off, I can’t remember what we were doing, but things were happening. Then the alarm went off. And things stopped happening.

Stupid real life.

I’ve been playing No Man’s Sky for an hour or so each night. I know, I really need to start taking screen shots and stuff, because of the olde internet adage – pics or it never happened.

Besides, I just traded up to another space ship. And I need to get a screenshot of that, at least. Maybe tonight I’ll remember to get some screen shots.

Ok, I have a cat on my lap, and a cup almost full of coffee. Happy Friyay!

Feel the magic, there’s something that drives me wild

I think it’s morning. The alarm went off, and I pretty much fell out of bed. When I woke up, I couldn’t have told you what day it was. It was a deep sleep, that I was in. I think it was a good sleep. I was knocked out pretty quickly.

I had hoped that I would have a Pippin visit. But, alas earwax, it wasn’t in the cards for the visit. When I woke up, there were no kittens on the bed. That’s ok, that opens up the possibility that there could be a visit tonight.

Work was steady in the first part of the morning. I got shit done. BossLady was late as normal. I think she blew in around 1ish. That’s ok, I kept myself busy. She’s gone now for 10-23ish days. Yay!

But now, I just want to wake up and not be groggy. It’s Thursday, and that means the weekend is just about here. Let’s raise our coffee cups, and salute the weekend that’s approaching.

Let’s hope the day goes quickly. Happy Thursday y’all!

Hold me close against your skin I’m about to begin lovin’ you

I’ve been up on and off since about 3:30 – when Pippin, I think, was cold. She climbed in to bed like she used to, right around my neck. I don’t think she could get comfortable. After a couple of minutes, she got up and snuggled again, down by my feet.

Then I just couldn’t get comfortable, and was a little tossy turny. I think I mostly settled down, by the time Crystal did her normal wake up. I think I was up quickly around 4:30, then the next time I looked at the clock – it was 6:27. I then slept until the alarm did its usual scare the shit out of me.

And here we are.

Chaucer is up on my lap. He’s gonna be upset when I move him in a sec. It also was chilly this morning. I have the furnace running. Winter is coming.

The coffee tastes pretty good this morning.

Ok time to do morning things. Yeah, this was short. However, it is what it is. Happy Wednesday!
