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

You gotta bounce to it like this

Awake! I had a really good sleep last night. Just awake enough in the morning to try and find a position that would allow me to sleep, and to breathe. I finally mostly found it and got comfortable. Then the alarm went off.

It’s supposed to be hot this weekend, and I think the heat starts to ramp up starting today. It’s bright and sunny out there. Not a cloud in the sky. However, according to the weather app, it’s supposed to be nice today, there’s chances for thunderstorms for the weekend. That’s changed from yesterday. We’ll see if that changes throughout the day.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. Of course busy during the morning, and really slow during the afternoon. BossLady left half way through the day. And isn’t expected in today. So hopefully the day will go quickly. I’ve noticed that the days have gone really slow, but the weeks moves mostly quickly.

But it’s almost the weekend – Canada Day long weekend. Exciting, huh? Let’s get through the balance of the week first. It’s only Thursday, but I think the rest of the week will go somewhat quickly.

So pick up your coffee cups and let’s raise them in the best coffee cup salute we can muster! Happy Thursday!

There’s a log on the fire and it burns like me for you

Is this real life? I’ve been up on and off since about 6ish. Just tossy turny, because I couldn’t breathe through my nose. Lots of allergies in me. Then I was cold on one side but my back was cold. I didn’t want to snuggle Crystal too close, because I know when she’s in bed, she runs warm.

I spent a couple of hours at work, before BossLady came in. She had an appointment first thing. So I was on my own. I made a to do list, and crossed everything off of it. It was about 2 hours of solid work.

At noon, I arrived at home, and we got ready to head to SlightlyBiggerTown. We needed a few things, which we picked up. Crystal hit the jackpot at the second hand store. I even found a book. It’s been a while!

We got home and Crystal started to work on some fabric. I watched tv. Thinking back, I can’t even remember what we watched. After a few hours we had dinner, and I turned on some CSI, while Crystal was working on a pair of pantaloons.

We went to bed, and now here we are. Full day of work today. Back to work! Time to make the donuts. Happy Wednesday!

What I say and I ain’t gonna waste my time sayin’ it all again

Good morning my friends. It’s a bright and sunny morning here in our corner of the world. I’ve been mostly up since about 6:30. I was a little chilly and tried to get as close to Crystal as possible. But it wasn’t my front that was cold, it was my back.

Then the alarm went off.

The coffee has been made.

And is being consumed.

It was a pretty good day yesterday. I played just a little bit of TotK. Then I thought we could have some fun, so I put on Raider of the Lost Ark. I always forget what a good movie it is. After that, Temple of Doom. I always forget what a weak movie that is. I don’t think that there would be the number of Indians Jones movies if that one had been released first.

I made chicken wings for dinner for myself, and spicy chicken sandwiches for Crystal. I have to say that the meal was pretty good. I was full.

So all in all, the lazy day was a good day. Happy Tuesday y’all!!

Just call me angel of the morning, angel just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Good morning my friends. It’s a bright and sunny day out there. You can also feel the heat. There’s no wind out there, so the heat is just sitting there. According to the weather app, it’s supposed to overcast today with a 50% chance of a thunderstorm later on this afternoon. We’ll see if that happens.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. We watched some documentaries, and then I played some TotK. Nothing major. Just playing around. I became a Yoga blademaster yesterday, so there’s that.

After I was finished, I packed up the Switch (I don’t know why I want to call it the Wii). And we made the short drive over to Shady Acres for dinner. I set up the Switch, and Crystal kicked some ass for a little while until dinner was ready. We had a good dinner of beef in gravy, and potatoes. For desert it was angel food cake and fresh berries.

We came home, fed the kitties, and settled in, and we watched Howl’s Moving Castle. I had never seen it before, and I liked it a lot. It was a very cute movie. I liked the animation style.

It’s the last day of the weekend, it’s our lazy day. I don’t plan on getting dressed or actually leaving the Flat today. It should be a really nice relaxing day. We’ll find something to entertain us.

Enjoy your Monday!
