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

How many damn posts will this be?!

Just a short post today. We just got over to my parents place, and Crystal has asked if we could bring over the Switch. Of course!

So when we got there, I unplugged the Chromecast, and plugged in the Switch. Boom! She’s somewhere in Necluda, looking for caves.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, I managed to beat the Wind Temple, and about a week back, I beat the Lightning Temple. According to all the guides I look at, they say to do the Lightning Temple last. I didn’t do that I beat it second. Lemme tell you, the boss was a challenge.

But I did it, and returned Gerudo town to its former glory. Then I worked on some quests in town. They’re always cute, and relatively quick and easy.

This afternoon, I became a Yiga blademaster. I’m a full fledged member now. The Yiga aren’t the smartest in the land of Hyrule.

Heartbreaker, soul shaker I’ve been told about you

And the lord said, let there be sound… and the talk radio turned on, and the people awoke. We’re awake here at the Flat. The sun is starting to shine. The cats are in their own spaces. Pippin is at the back door, watching her queendom, and Chaucer is on the pirate chest, 1000 yard staring. He’s like me, he needs a couple minutes to wake up. Shortly after he wakes up, he’ll find a nice spot to take a nap.

Yesterday was a blast. I think we hit almost every garage sale in town. Crystal won the TinyTown lottery, and got a few nice sheets, and I think two table cloths to make into cool pants. We also got a baking dish. Ooh! And a great little sewing basket for Crystal to put in all her bits and bobs into. She was also lucky enough to find a pair of Vibrams Five Fingers running shoes – IN HER SIZE!

I didn’t find anything that I just had to have. That’s ok, I wasn’t looking for myself. I was on the lookout for fabric for Crystal. I did find a soft cover New Moon. I had to walk to the car, and check my notes. I did it need the softcover, I need a hardcover. So I left it. I think if I’m going to get another set – it’ll be the white set.

We did find a cookbook that Crystal will probably send down to her mom. It’s a collection of recipes from homemakers clubs in Saskatchewan for the provinces golden jubilee. There’s some scary-ass recipes in there. I called out a couple, and Crystal came over and took a picture, and sent it to her mom. It’s from 1955, and was made to look like a group of women hand wrote it. I think Crystal said lithograph. But I could be wrong.

There’s always room for jello

Mimeograph. That’s what she said.

Well, it’s chore day here. I’ll be starting that in a little while. Just the normal stuff. It shouldn’t take too long to complete. Just a little time consuming. But it’s easy – put stuff in to the washer. Washer, washes, dryer dries. Good times, amirite?

Yeah, she probably gon’ be keeping some Victoria’s Secrets maybe a little Maybelline but she don’t need it

Good morning mother-bitches! It’s Saturday! Garage sale day! I had a relatively good sleep. It was more of a light doze starting around 6:30 I believe. The bed was perfectly warm, but not too warm.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad at work, but the time moved pretty slowly. Because the weekend. But that’s all over now, as we’re in the weekend. For most of the last 2 days, I prepped and got the items that BossLady want for the garage sale ready, and priced.

The items that she picked are pretty much perfect garage sale items. I hope she gets what she asks for them. I guess I’ll find out come Tuesday. We may or may not stop at the store. There’s 26 other locations in town to check out, plus the library, as they’re hauling out books for a book sale. We’ll check it out.

Last night Crystal and I went outside and she spun while I watched. She had her poi sticks. I like watching her when she uses the sticks – it seems like she does more tricks with them, than with the round poi. Either way, we both had fun outside.

Then the mosquitos came.

And started to bite.

We beat a hasty retreat back into the house.

From there we just watched Antiques Roadshow on Pluto, and then toddled off to bed for snuggles and sleeps.

And now here we are! Happy Saturday!

Gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal

Awake! Well, technically I’ve been dozing for the past hour. Pippin came up and snuggled me for a few minutes while I dozed. I think I tried to snuggle her too close, so she got up and did Pippin things somewhere else.

It’s Friyay! Just gotta survive the day, and then it’s the weekend for me! Yesterday was mostly a busy one, I was getting some stuff ready for the town wide garage sale. That took the morning. I had a couple people come in, so that took up the afternoon.

It was a pretty good day.

Crystal made an awesome dinner. We had taco bowls. It was heavenly. I tried to play some TotK, but I just couldn’t concentrate, so I shut it off. We were both really tired, so we hopped in the shower, and then I turned on CSI, and Crystal edited some video.

That was the day. Now, we have some coffee, and the news is on. It’s a bright and sunny day. It’s supposed to be mostly cloudy, but should still be a nice day. Happy Friyay!!
