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

We’ll fight the powers that be, just don’t pick on our destiny, ’cause

It’s been a while since the cats have woken us up in the morning. It started I think around 4. I woke up hearing a clunk – something falling off of something. I figured it was a lighter off the kitchen table. I was wrong, but I wouldn’t find out until 5 or 6. I think it was around 6 when I heard more sounds. So I got up, and found a fridge magnet on the ground, and Pippin sitting next to it.

As I bend over, that’s when Pippin takes off like a crazy cat. I think I either lightly dozed or something, but then I wake up hearing someone clawing at the carpet next to my bed. That’s Chaucer. I roll over and just drop polar bear on him, which causes him to merp. That’s it.

All bets are off.

Pippin heard that merp, and then the chasey chasey game starts. At this point we’re awake. We’ll, I’m awake. Crystal has probably been up for a little while at this point. Then Pippin is trying to look out the bedroom window. It was havoc and mayhem. So we just get up, just a few moments before the alarm goes off.

And guess what? It’s peaceful now. Chaucer is snuggled on my lap, and Pippin is simply looking out the window. It’s like they let us sleep until the alarm, and this is just part of the morning routine.

Good times.

Happy Wednesday Thursday, my friends. Get that coffee, you deserve it.

Good morning my friends. What a change from yesterday – it’s sunny and bright outside. Yesterday, it looked and felt like fall. But today, it feels like summer again. Hopefully, it’ll warm up nicely, and be summer again.

I only worked for a couple of hours yesterday. BossLady texted me to tell me that she wouldn’t be in. She said she had the flu. I think she just has a nasty cold – if she has the flu, there’d be a good chance that she won’t be in today. But I know her, she’ll be in this morning.

So yeah, I left at noon and grabbed some spicy ramen for lunch for the two of us. It was really good – for store bought ramen. After lunch, we cleaned out the bedroom closet and we took two bags to the second hand store. We also stopped at my parents place and help to load 2 or 3 bags into my moms truck.

I found just one book, which I posted about yesterday. Crystal grabbed a curtain – to make some cover ups. Nothing else jumped out at us. So we went home.

It was a good day for sure.

So here we are, the middle of the week. The weekend is so close to us. I can almost taste it. Happy Wednesday! Let’s have a great day out there!

Push me and then just touch me till I can get my satisfaction

Awake. I was a tossy turny boy this morning. I couldn’t breathe through my face holes, and on either side, I’d roll over – my neck has some cramps in it. So the last hour or so before the alarm went off was a mix of comfort, then uncomfortableness.

Good morning my friends, it’s a gray, breezy day out there so far. It feels like fall, but hopefully will turn itself around as the day goes on. The coffee has been brewed, and the news is on.

Happy 4th of July my American friends. Be safe out there. I’m sure that you love seen the fireworks safety stuff on the news. Don’t blow your fingers off!

Yesterday was pretty good. We went grocery shopping in the morning. On the way into SlightlyBiggerTown, we got caught behind one of those hover-rounds driving down the middle of Main st. It was pretty laughable. That was the only thing of note that happened. Pretty much a quick in and out.

But it’s back to work today. I have no clue if I’ll be leaving early today. We’ll see what happens. If I do, Woohoo! If not, that’s ok too. Let’s get this started!
