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

But the meanest thing that my daddy ever did was before he left, he went and named me Sue

Yep, we’re awake. I believe that we’ve both been up on and off, since about 3:30. For me, I was a little warm, head all stuffed up, and my back twitching a little bit. I’d just get totally comfortable, and I’d cough, or twitch, and then I’d be on the mission to get comfortable again.

It is what it is.

But it’s Friday. That’s a good thing for sure. It’s been a wicked long week. Most weekend the days go somewhat quickly, but the week moves slowly. Not this week. Both the day and the week have moved at a crawl.

I don’t really have a lot to talk about today. I’m still trying to wake up. So I think I’m just gonna sign off now. You know, stop before the quality goes down.

So yeah, it’s freakin Friyay. Have some coffee for me. I’ll have some for you.

Morning. I’ve been up on and off since about 4:30ish. Tossy turny. I think it was around 6 when I was finally pain free and somewhat comfortable. But I was still tossy turny, which probably helped Crystal wake up earlier than me.

The bbq yesterday was really nice. It was really nice to see my gramma. It’s a small town here, and she had commented that we should visit more. It’s hard to see her in a home. With her dementia, it’s hard to have conversations with her. But I’ll try to get over to the home a little more.

After that, it was back to work for a few hours. It wasn’t too hectic, BossLady and I got a couple of things finished, and I brought in a delivery. Not too much only a couple of pallets of dining furniture. So it wasn’t too heavy.

We were under a thunderstorm warning last night, and lemme tell you, it didn’t disappoint. The skit was being lit up, and the thunder … well, thundered last night. The first year that I was here, I experienced the night sky being lit up a couple of times, it’s always so neat when it happens.

But it’s a new day here, and we’re both up and bright eyed and bushy tailed. Bring on Thursday!

Stay forever and ever, and ever, and ever

Good morning my friends. I hope your morning is going well. Except if you’re in Florida, I know you’re having a tough morning. Stay safe, y’all.

I slept. It was ok. I have a knot or something on my side, so every time I try and roll over, I would wake up. So that last couple of hours or so, it was painful to roll over. It was very hard to find a position that was comfortable, and pain free. I think at one point I did find that position. Eventually.

It’s a bright and sunny morning here. The winds haven’t picked up yet. So maybe they won’t get too high today.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got home at noon, and instead of having lunch right away, I wanted to undo the tye-dye bundles. I’m wearing a tye-dye shirt today! I think this is the most colours I’ve worn all at once for a while!!

Back to work today. But I have a bbq to go to this morning. I’ll be off of work from 11-2. But after that I’ll be back in the office.

But before all that can happen, I need coffee. Happy Wednesday! Let’s go coffee!

I’m high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

Welp, today I didn’t feel Crystal get out of bed. When the alarm went off, that’s when I found out. It’s ok though, because when she does get up just a couple minutes early, the coffee is ready when I get up. That’s awfully nice of her, if you ask me.

Good morning my friends. It’s a sunny Tuesday morning here. It looks like it’s gonna be a nice day. Yesterday, we didn’t do too much. I made some brunch. After the dishes were finished, we started to TYE-DYE. It was pretty fun. And technically, we didn’t tie anything. We did a T-shirt, and two pairs of pants. We unwrap them today!

Other than that, we didn’t do too much. I played some TofK, and Crystal kicked some ass in the Witcher 3. All in all, it was a pretty nice day.

And here we are now, coffee next to us, and the news in the TV. Happy Tuesday my friends. Let’s make this week be the best week in August!
