The silence, the terror, the pain, the horror. As your mom comes downstairs

Have you ever farted into a wine glass, then smelt it? Good morning my friends, welcome to Monday. Or as we call it here – brunch day. I woke up this morning, and my first thought: you forgot to take out the bacon last night. So the bacon is now sitting in the sink defrosting.

Oops.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. We didn’t pick apples. My dad did put his scan tools on the Hot Mess Express, and found nothing wrong with it. Excepting of course, the TPMS system. But we already knew that. After a quick drive to the corner and back, the Hot Mess has a clean bill of health. Woohoo!

After that, it was the typical Sunday afternoon. We all just hung out and played on our phones, and for my dad, his iPad. It was a nice relaxing afternoon.

When we got home, we didn’t do too too much I shaved Crystal’s head, and shaved mine as well. We just relaxed. We watched some Supernatural, and CSI. So that’s what we did.

I think to day we’ll be doing some tie dye. That should be a lot of fun. Then a great dinner of ground cow shaped into disks, and some planked potatoes.

Happy Monday! Have another cup of coffee. It’ll get better with more coffee.

This is how I show my love I made it in my mind because blame it on my ADD, baby

Oh well, yep, there’s the alarm. I made it until the alarm just about went off, and then I fell asleep again. Til the alarm went off. It’s a bright and sunny day out there, and looks to be a beautiful day.

Yesterday was a really nice day, just a hiccup. We were on our way to SlightlyBiggerTown, only about a lm from the house when the check The gone light came on. I immediately turned around and parked the car. I texted mom and asked if we could use her truck, she said yes, so I walked up to the house and grabbed it. Shortly after that, we were on our way.

Other than that little bit of excitement, it was a pretty standard trip for groceries. We didn’t have to go crazy. But we actually had a list. Impressive huh? We got just about everything we needed, and a couple bonus items.

We ended up getting Subway for lunch. You know Subway has gotten loads better than it was even 3 or 4 years ago. Whatever they’ve done, it doesn’t feel like you’re being punished for eating there anymore. The food isn’t as depressing as it used to be.

Not too much on tap for today. The usual chores, which’ll be started a little later. When I dropped of the truck, mom said we’d be picking apples today. I guess the apple tree is ready to give us what it’s got.

But before all that, coffee. Coffee, and cold meds. Happy Sunday y’all!

Let me hear your body talk, your body talk

Well, the cats wouldn’t let me sleep. it wasn’t all the cats fault, but mostly it is. I was nice and asleep at 5:30, when I heard the sound of Chaucer starting his rave. I got up and grabbed some paper towels. I couldn’t find any puke anywhere. So I went back to bed. I tried to sleep, but I was so so stuffed up. Pippin at one point climbed under the blankets to try and snuggle. But it was on the side that I couldn’t breathe. So she left. Both of us moved just a little bit and that set off Chaucer. All meows and purrs this morning. So, while I was basically up at 5:30, I’m sure Crystal was up long be fire then. She must have been a little warm, as I wasn’t allowed to snuggle her. So we got up. I did my normal wake up things, Chaucer so far has eaten all of his breakfast. That’s a 1/4 cup of dry food. He didn’t get sick after eating all of that food. Of course, I haven’t refilled the water bowls yet.

So yeah, we’re up. I don’t think we’re too happy about it. But it is what it is. The plan today, once it’s not an obscenely early moment, we’ll be getting some gas, and heading off to SlightlyBiggerTown to get some groceries. I think my vape pen might be good for another week. I’ll have to check the bills account balance, and I might be able to cover the fuel. And we’ll have to make a shopping list as well. It’ll be a nice morning. I had suggest maybe A&W, but Crystal brought up an excellent point: it’s so much better eating on the couch at home. So maybe Subway. I don’t know. We’ll figure it out. Either way we’ll have fun, like we always do!

The weather here over the last couple of days has been all over the place. Cool to the point of cold. Wednesday, I actually had to turn the heat on at work, just enough to take the edge off. Then it was mostly sunny and warm – hell, I actually wore shorts yesterday. But this morning? Back to a little froggy out, and cool. Overcast. That means my allergies are totally going haywire. I’ve actually taken the meds. I usually don’t take them this early. I try stubbornly to try and drain as much as possible. But I had too this morning. I just wanted to have a normal morning again where I wasn’t up and down every couple of minutes (let’s get real, seconds) to blow my nose.

So yeah, that’s the story of this morning. Was it the perfect morning? Not in the least. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. All the most important people are here, and that’s what matters. So for todays coffee cup salute, let’s salute Saturday mornings, and how much better they are than Monday mornings. Viva la weekend!

Those patio lanterns they were the stars in the sky

Good morning, faithful readers. It’s finally Friyay! Although, I had woken up briefly, and I could’ve swore that it was Thursday. I know this, because I double checked before I started this post. But here we are, the nicest day of the week.

It’s kinda bright out there, and it’s crisp. Fall has taken hold here. It’s only a matter of time before the snow starts to fall. Winter is coming.

Yesterday was a long, difficult day at work. Hopefully today will go a little faster, and hopefully BossLady will be in a better mood.

Chaucer just came up on my lap. He’s loafed and is very happy. When we woke up this morning, both kittens were on the bed all snuggled in.

So I’m gonna go refill my cup, and start the day. Let’s go Friday! Here’s to hoping the day goes quickly!
