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

I wish it was Sunday (Woah, woah) ‘Cause that’s my fun day

Yep, just another manic Monday here. We just got up, and it looks like it’s gonna be a nice day weather-wise here. The sun is really trying to get out from behind clouds. Good morning my friends. When Crystal turned on the news, I was surprised that they were actually playing the news, and not Dateline. Then I realized that it was Monday.

That means I have to go back to work tomorrow. Yay.

Yesterday was such a nice do-nothing day. I hoping that I can recreate that feeling today. There’s no plans for today. Probably some TotK. There’s should be a post coming out from me about it today. I have to take some glamor shots later this morning but then I’ll have a post to write about.

The coffee is flowing this morning like champagne. Not really. But it has been brewed and cups have been poured.

What will today bring? Nice weather, laziness and brunch! Yep today is brunch day. You’re all invited, just bring your own food! Happy Monday y’all!

So come dance the silence down through the morning

Good Sunday morning my friends. The sun is chirping, and the birds are shining. It looks like it’s gonna be a nice day out there. I do believe it’s going to be a little warmer out there. The temps are starting to rise again. Not a cloud in the sky. Chaucer is on the table looking out the back door, and Pippin is loving life, looking out the front window.

Yesterday at work, it was just busy enough to pass the time a little quicker than normal. But there was a baseball tournament going on, so there wasn’t much foot traffic into the store, but it was still a good day.

After work, I grabbed a couple of items for dinner at the grocery store, and wandered home. I watched Crystal play TotK for a little while, and then it was my turn. I played until it was time to start cooking.

I made a feast for us – French fries, and bacon cheeseburgers. We’ll for Crystal m, it was a mushroom bacon cheeseburger. I surprised her with a can of mushrooms. She cooked those up as I was cooking the bacon.

Long story, short: it was a very good feast, and we walked away from the dinner very full. There were a few more hours of TotK, and then some tv. By the time it was just about 11, and Crystal was falling asleep, so that’s what we did.

As per usual, there’s not too much planned today. It’s Sunday, so there’s chores to do, and then this afternoon we’ll be heading over to Shady Acres for dinner. Mom asked if I could help with the lawn. I just said sure, and to have my dad make sure the lawn mower would start, and I’d have no problem mowing the lawn.

We’ll see if it starts.

But before all that, I need some go-go juice. Time to fill up my cup again! Happy Sunday!

Good Saturday morning. We’re both up a little early, I forgot to close the curtains in the bedroom last night, so it was a little brighter in there than normal. I just had to close the front door, as it’s actually just a little chilly in the living room.

It’s a bright and sunny day out there. Finally a nice warm, and not humid day out there. Yesterday was like that too. Almost a perfect day – bright, sunny, and just a slight breeze. Not too shabby if you ask me.

So, all that stands between me and the weekend is just a short shift in a couple of hours. Next week I think could go either way – it’s the local high schools grad. But this week, thinking about it, it might be pretty quiet as the town is hosting a minor league baseball tournament this weekend.

All I can hear outside are birds singing. It sure beats the dead silence of the winter. There’s so many different kinds of birds singing out there.

Coffee has been brewed, and is being consumed as I type this. Chaucer is really trying to get into my lap. Sorry dude, not right now. Good morning my friends, welcome to the start of Saturday!

Everyone’s watching, to see what you will do

Hey hey happy Friyay everyone! It’s almost the weekend! All that stands between me, and the weekend – is the shift today, and a short shift tomorrow. Can I make it? Yes I can!

It’s a bright and sunny day out there. Just a couple of clouds in the sky. It looks like it’ll be a nice day out there. We’re awake here with some coffee for each of us, and the news is on for us to watch.

The Americans are talking about the smoke coming from eastern Canada. All the wildfires are exporting all the smoke. There hasn’t been any news about all the fires the next province over. Maybe they put all those fires out. Who knows.

Tonight is date night, and high me last night before bed, was trying to figure out what I was going to have for dinner last night. High me wants chicken wings. Sober me probably just wants a clubhouse. Which will win? I have no idea.

Ok, I need a refill. Let’s get Friday started everyone!
