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

Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you are going

I’m pretty sure the alarm scared me. I did have to get up in the night, but it was a lot later than normal – I think it was either 5:30, or around 6:30. I can’t remember. All I can remember is trying to get out of bed as quietly as possible to not wake the slumbering chicky. But, she was probably awake, and wondering why I was moving in slow motion.

It looks like it’ll be mostly sunny today, and warm. High of 82° today. It’s nice outside right now. It does feel very weird that it’s dark at 9pm again. Fall is quickly coming. And you know what they say: Winter is coming. I know people don’t want to hear that, but yeah. Stupid winter.

But today should be nice. I don’t have any plans for today. Other than brunch, the day is open. Full of possibilities. Maybe we’ll go outside, possibly we’ll stay inside – who knows?

I do know I’ll be making waffles today. And other yummy stuff for brunch today. But for right now, we’re just relaxing on the couch while the kittens are on the table looking out the back door in a nice sunbeam.

Happy kitties.

Good groggy morning. It’s a bright and sunny day, and I feel like I’ve ran a marathon. I’m sore, and need to take an Advil. You see, last night, I had a two hour allergy attack, and my body is still recovering from that. But I slept the whole night, and I could breathe the whole night as well. So that’s way better than Friday night into Saturday morning.

Like I said, it’s bright and sunny out there. It seems like it’s going to be a pretty good day, however it’ll get more and more cloudy throughout the day. According to the weather app that’s mostly right, and partially wrong most of the time – it’s supposed to be partly sunny, and a chance of rain in the next 39 minutes.

Don’tcha just love technology?

My head is still filled with a thick soup. Hopefully that’ll change. I hate my allergies.

I also got the rest of the tech hooked back up. That means the Chromecast, and the DVD player. It took a little bit of time, but the Switch, Roku, Chromecast, and DVD player are all talking to themselves again. It was touch and go for a little bit, but thankfully it’s all hooked up again. With the Switch, you have to plug things in, in a certain order. Strange!

Last night, as I was preparing to figure out what to watch, Crystal said “wait. Netflix. They Cloned Tyrone.” Ok! It’s been on my list, so we turned it on. I’m not going to give anything away, but if you have Netflix, you should really take the 2 hours to watch it. It’s good, really good.

But now it’s Sunday, and you know what that means. Chore day. That should be starting a little later. I need to wake up and get some of this soup out of my head. You know what helps? Coffee. Coffee helps. You should try some.

ITS THE MOTHERFUCKING WEEKEND!

That’s right my friends, it’s the weekend. And so far the weather is agreeable. It’s bright and sunny. I’ll have to check to see if the forecast has changed since yesterday afternoon. Spoiler alert, it has but it hasn’t. It’ll be sunny until around 11 then cloudy again. That’s ok. We’ll deal with it.

We actually have something to do today. Later on this morning, we’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies, and groceries. Plus it’ll just be nice to get out of TinyTown for a couple of hours as well.

It was a pretty good sleep. I fell asleep very quickly. I don’t think I got up in the night, but when I woke up when the alarm went off, I had a tiny Pippin snuggled up next to the back of my knees. As soon as I moved she was gone. When we’re under all the covers, she’s so light I can’t feel her snuggle.

And like that, it’s already starting to cloud over. Hopefully it’s just a cloud. I’d like to have a little sun first thing. But that’s ok if it’s not.

I hope y’all have a great Saturday! I’m gonna try on this end too!

I can’t feel my face when I’m with you but I love it, but I love it, oh

It’s almost the weekend! It feels like it today for sure, because we went out to eat last night, instead of tonight. So it totally feels like Saturday today. But it’s not. I have to go into work today. Last day. There should be everyone here today. It’s been pretty much two weeks since I’ve worked with actual living breathing people. Should be interesting!

Yesterday BossLady popped in, and pretty much popped out. She was only in the office for about 20 minutes, and she was off. She said she hopped it was busy because it was shitty weather. Only a couple of people came in, and they were looking for her. They said they’d call today, to make sure that she would be here.

I have a couple of things that I want to do this afternoon. I want to get gas for the work truck, and I need to hook up the trailer to it. I’ll be making a delivery on Tuesday, and Crystal will be my copilot for that excursion.

Ok, I need to refill my coffee, and really concentrate on waking up. It’s Friyay! Let’s hope the day goes quickly! To the weekend!!
