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

Good morning friends, guess what? It’s Friyay! Today will be a long-ass day. I have to drive to CapitalCity – pick up and deliver a couple of pieces of furniture, and a few other things, then the drive back.

That’s why I’m up an hour early. The day starts a lot earlier today. I have the work truck packed up and it’s ready to go. All I have to do is hop in and go.

I was having a weird dream right before the alarm went off. I was in college, and for some reason I was a walk on for the colleges hockey team. My first game, we lost. By a lot. It was weird, I started the dream part way through it. I don’t know how I got on the team. It’s hard to explain but just surreal.

Coffee. Lots of coffee. I turned off my alarm. We’ll see if I remember to turn it back on before we go to bed tonight. If not, I’ll sleep in, but sadly, Crystal will be wide awake.

Happy Friyay my friends!

You’re so fine, I want you mine, you’re so delicious

Good morning my friends. I actually almost made it to 7am. I think I kinda woke up, and looked – 6:32. Not too bad. I think Crystal was already awake. But I don’t know for sure, because I looked at the clock and then closed my eyes again.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It was pretty much mostly busy for the day. I interacted, and spoke to people on the phone. I think I got just about everything finished that I had on my list. And most things that BossLady handed me, I finished as well.

Not too shabby.

I already have Chaucer on my lap. He’s a snuggly guy in the mornings. I’ll let him snuggle pretty much when ever he wants – he’s earned it.

But for now, wake up time, and coffee. I hope all y’all have a very good day. It’s almost the weekend!

Armed with will and determination, and grace, too

Welp, it’s morning again. I’ve been up on and off since around 4 this morning. Between Pippin, unruly sheets, and losing the power of breathing through one’s nose, it was a tossy turny morning.

Chaucer is already crawling up on to my lap. Pippin is off doing Pippin things, and I am currently trying to focus my eyes to type this up. It’s a kinda gray morning out there. A little cool, but still a nice morning so far.

Yesterday was a pretty busy morning at work. I was expecting to finish up inventory. I had tasked NewNewGirl to do some addition on the last 4 sections. I was expecting to finish up, but she must have been busy – so I had to finish all of them. Not a problem! I took care of it in a couple of hours.

Then I was off. My dad had asked the day before if I could help him lift the transmission from the ground into his truck. So when I got home I texted mom to say I could help anytime. She said that it was already done. My dad got a friend with a forklift to help move it.

Bonus!

Ok, coffee time. It’s hump day. Getting closer to the weekend. This is my last Saturday off. Then I’m covering vacations, so I’ll be there on Saturdays for the next three weeks. Fun times!

Your mom busted in and said, what’s that noise? Aw, mom you’re just jealous it’s the Beastie Boys

Good grey morning, my friends. It’s Mon… Tuesday morning here in TinyTown. It was a little chilly out there this morning. I’ll be putting on a hoodie when I leave for work.

Crystal was out pretty quickly last night, but told me her eye mask died in the night, so she was awake early this morning. She was already out when I asked her if she wanted to snuggle me. She didn’t reply, so I just rolled over. That’s when I fell asleep.

Yesterday was a nice, mostly lazy day. We got up, did our morning things. Once we were ready we took off to SlightlyBiggerTown to grab a couple of things. We stopped at the second hand store, where Crystal found a couple of more sheet sets.

Lunch time! I had a burger, and Crystal had a buffalo chicken wrap. Both were very good. Then we took off back home. Some of the crops are starting to bloom, I guess would be the correct word. There’s seas of yellow out there, like someone just painted it in to the landscape.

I had to help my dad prep the new camper so he can drop the transmission out of it, so it can be fixed. After that, back home to rest and relax again.

But I needs some coffee to wake up. Hap hap happy Tuesday all. Let’s kick today in the nuts!
