Here we go again. Another Monday. A new week is on our doorstep. But wait, did y’all see the score of the Dolphins game from yesterday?

That’s insane, huh? Miami must have done the Annexation of Cuba. It’s the only way they could’ve won by that high of a score. So yeah, that came from out of nowhere for sure.

Yesterday was pretty nice. I did the chores through out the morning, and the beautiful one played some Skyrim. She was kicking some ass, killing some random people so she could be cool and fit in with her new friends that she’s making. I’m happy that she’s fitting in. Usually, overachievers don’t get to fit in with the others, but she’s doing very well.

After Skyrim, we went over to Shady Acres for dinner. It’s always quiet over there. Mom talked to one of the cats as she just randomly made a pie for desert. A couple weeks ago we helped to pick the apples from the tree in the back. She’s been drying apples, and all that. She has a ton of apples to still process.

Short story long, the pie was very good. I enjoyed it. The whole dinner was really good.

I can’t talk for Crystal, but I slept like the dead. I did get up in the night, I’m still refusing to look at the clock. I did my thing, and as I’m walking back, I step on a giant carrot cat toy, which made some noise, but not enough to wake up Crystal, or the kittens.

And now here we are. It’s brunch day. That’ll start in a few hours. Who knows what’s on the deck for today. So far, I can’t think of anything that I have to do today. so let’s just play it by ear.

Yeah, bitch, I said what I said

Good morning. It’s still pretty grainy out there. I think it supposed to be like this pretty much all weekend. Blech. I’m not too fond of grainy days. Yep, just checked – this is as good as it gets weather-wise today. Chances of random drizzle/rain today as well.

Least we don’t have anything planned for the day. Just chores pretty much. Maybe a movie as well before we head over to Shady Acres this afternoon. But yeah, it a little while chore day will be in full swing for sure.

We have the news channel on. On the weekends, they just have a Dateline marathon. On Sundays, after a couple of hours of Dateline, they play some regular network shows. So later on today, we’ll have Meet the Press, etc. Good times.

When the alarm went off, Chaucer was the only kitten on the bed. I don’t think that Pippin was snuggled up there. When I got up in the middle of the night, she was curled up on the couch.

We watched a movie last night – Nobody. It was pretty good. It was a no think just stare movie. Sometimes you need a movie like that. Ultra-violent, and really it seemed like they walked the movie past the plot room. But the plot room was locked for the weekend. It was a good no think popcorn movie.

You know what’s better than popcorn? Coffee. The coffee has been brewed. It’s time to get a refill. Happy Sunday my friends.

Ok ok ok, I’m awake. It’s a gray and rainy day here. So much rain. My question is why couldn’t we get some of this liquid sunshine during the summer? Anyways, it is what it is, and of course we’ll welcome the rain!

Finally, it’s the weekend! We do have some stuff to do today. In a little bit later, I’ll be writing up a shopping list. Nothing major, just the regular food run. And probably the drug store, and maybe even a foot long submarine sandwich. Who knows! The world is our oyster.

I slept like the dead last night. I did get up sometime in the darkness to get something to drink and blow my nose. I don’t think it had started to rain yet. While I didn’t look at the clock, the small bottle of water that I left on the counter, was still a little cold. So it couldn’t have been too long after going to bed.

But I need to refill the ol coffee mug, so I’m gonna sign off. But lemme tell you, I think to day will be a perfect day to return to Forks, Washington. What do you think?

And no I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll

Ugh. Awake. I was up on and off this morning. The first time, I looked at the clock. Big mistake – 3:44. The next time I got up, and actually got out of bed and used the bathroom, it was around 4:30. The next time was around 6ish m, I think. So yeah I’ve earned this coffee.

And my nose is all stuffed up.

But, the good news is that it’s Friyay! It’s so close to the weekend, you can almost taste the diner French fries. Almost. I just have to make it through one more day. But today might be a little easier – NewNewGirl will be there today. Just a little bit of a buffer you could call it.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. A little chaotic. BossLady rolled in just after I opened the store. Within minutes, she was off again to the social media persons house. I jokingly told the social media manager to keep her there as long as possible. She did what I asked. As I was walking to the post office, I could see her getting out of her car back at work.

The afternoon went mostly quickly. You see the weeks are going quickly, but the hours are dragging by. Hopefully today will go much quicker. Especially with another body there.

We’ll see. Happy Friyay all 🙂
