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

Well it’s been a day for sure. Again, like every time I set my alarm, I’m up before the fucking thing even goes off. So yeah the alarm was set for 4:30, and my stupid ass is awake at 4:15. Which is loads better than the first time I woke up, at about 3:15.

So I got up and went out into the kitchen to get the day started. I turned on the coffee pot, then went to the bathroom, and did that stuff m, and fed the cats. From there, I turned on the tv, and got dressed.

After getting dressed, it was time to caffeinate, and I drank the coffee as I was watching the early morning news. At the proper time, I went out and started the car.

Work, was well, work. It was dead, so we cleaned. When it started snowing, we shovelled. I also shovelled when I got home. Now it just needs to stop snowing, so I don’t have to shovel tomorrow as well.

Turkey pot pie for dinner. Yum.

Good morning my friends. I got up a little early today. I’ve been up on and off for a couple of hours. I’ve peed trice this morning. I was a little tossy turny, but it wasn’t too bad. And I was able to ignore the children playing in the bed room.

But yeah, I got out of bed a little early. I figured that it might be a little better if I did that, as the alarm will be set today, for a very early wake up call tomorrow.

Christmas Day went off without a hitch. We had Christmas dinner with my gramma for lunch yesterday. The old folks home does a really good job on the turkey lunch. Just a couple questionable items on the plate; including turnips.

After lunch Crystal and I split away from my mom, and came home while my mom went home, and took a nap. We went to The Flat, and wrapped the presents for my parents. We got to Shady Acres and I was the one tapped to pass out the presents. I got a robe, and a couple of pairs of jeans, which were desperately needed.

After Christmas dinner, we packed up the Hot Mess Express with our Christmas gifts, and a bag full of leftovers, and drove back to our place where we had a low-key evening, and eventually went to bed.

Happy Boxing Day everyone. Don’t forget to get your servants a present.

Good morning everyone. Merry Christmas, from me, and mine to you and yours. We hope that y’all have a great day with friends and family. We’ll be heading out to Christmas lunch with my parents and grandmother in a couple of hours.

As a holiday tradition, I bought some Baileys yesterday afternoon, so we could help spread Christmas cheer today. Currently it’s mixed into our morning coffee. Yummy!

We have little to nothing planned for today other that lunch at the old folks home with my gramma, and then around 3, we’ll head over to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner. So we’ll hang out here until it’s time to info out into the arctic.

During that time, we’ll watch White Christmas.
