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

It’s another day here in TinyTown. It’s partially sunny and still a little breezy, but it looks like it will hopefully stay just the way it is today. I haven’t looked at the weather app yet, but I don’t think it rained last night. It was only supposed to thunderstorm for a couple of hours after work. But I think it only drizzled for a minute or two as I walked home.

We are, and played TotK for most of the evening. I’ve started to just explore and wander around. I opened up a couple of shrines yesterday. Perhaps I’ll pop into them and work to complete them today or tomorrow. It’s a fun game, but I’m still in the overwhelming part of the game. Crystal has almost mapped the entirety of the depths, while I think I’ve turned on the light switch down there. It’s paltry. I keep saying that I need to get down there, and explore. But it’s dark down there, and the enemies can steal your vitality.

I don’t have too much to talk about. Just been working and doing all that fun stuff. I took in a truck last night, and that was two different companies. Ol there’s not a lot of stuff. It’ll just be tedious pricing all the little doo-dads. And the big furniture will be staying in the boxes for now.

I need a refill, so that’s a sign that I’ve run out of stuff to talk about. Maybe something exciting will happen today – probably not. Happy Thursday everyone, let’s make it the best Thursday that we can!

It’s a chilly and gray day out there. The wind is blowing, and the bed was as near to a perfect temp as it ever could be. However, if the alarm went off, that means it’s another day here in TinyTown.

Good morning everyone. The coffee is brewing. Please wait your turn to have a cup.

Yesterday actually wasn’t too bad. I was on yard patrol for the day. I spent most of the day clearing out some dead brush and weeding. I think I’d have done more if I had roundup to get the weeds.

I also got to leave a little early as honestly there wasn’t too much to actually do. So I left around 3ish. I grabbed Crystal and we hopped over to the second hand store. I found her a couple of pretty awesome sheets so she can make some more genie pants.

From there we went over to help mom quickly with some snaps. We ended up taking our new blanket, and Crystal will put the snaps on it, probably today. I have to remember to lay it out on the bed today.

I should probably do it now. Hey, it’s not snowing out so that’s a good thing. Happy Wednesday y’all!

The day light rips away the blanket of sleep. Good morning everyone, according to the sun, and the garbage trucks, it’s a new day. It’s Tuesday. The coffee has been brewed and is currently being consumed.

Yesterday was a great sloth day. I had to leave the Flat, only to return the vacuum cleaner that I had borrowed from my mom, and I used the excuse to head over to the convenience store to grab some milk.

But we mostly played TotK. Crystal is exploring the depths, while I’m way too nervous to really go down there. I don’t like the lack of light there. It’s freaky. So I’ve been expanding the map, and exploring where I feel comfortable – the overworld.

I wonder what this week will bring to TinyTown. According to the weather app, after Wednesday, it’s supposed to have a chance to rain each day until next Monday. Yay. But we’ll see how the week turns out.

I need more coffee. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Shake it to the right
If ya know that you feel fine

Well, once again the alarm scared the crap out of me. It was a good sleep this morning. The sun isn’t really too bright, but the sun I believe out. I didn’t look up too much when I was outside. The birds are singing, however.

Good morning everyone. We’re on the “bonus” day. It’s a long weekend here, and possibly where you are too if you’re in North America. There could be a holiday elsewhere too. If there is, tell me about it. I’m interested in learning about it.

It’s a Monday morning here. But pretty much a day that ends in a y, Chaucer has a change of purging his breakfast. It was just a little pile of it this morning. I don’t blame him, his bowl was completely empty. I’m sure in his mind, he was never going to get fed again. And when he was fed, he had to eat fast and a lot, just in case this was the only good he was ever going to get.

I borrowed a vacuum from my mom yesterday. Toaster is a good vacuum, but I think he’s a little overwhelmed with two cats, and two humans. Add to that Crystal crafting, the poor little vacuum just can’t keep up. So I borrowed a Dyson, and later this morning, I’ll probably vacuum once or twice to make sure that everything is all picked up. The cats will hide. Well, Chaucer probably will Pippin has no fear with loud noises.

Pippin is up in the front window. And Chaucer is up on my lap, looking pretty proud of himself. When the alarm went off, I’m pretty sure that for a split second all the kitties were snuggled on the bed. Of course as soon as the radio comes on, Chaucer thinks that food will be provided as soon as I start moving. Pippin just wants a table ride to the back door to look out the window.

Ok, let’s get the day started, and get a refill of coffee. Happy Monday everyone! Happy May Long as well!
