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

Of course he brought his new wife Kay, who talks all about AA, chain smoking while the stereo plays “Noel, Noel, The First Noel”

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.

Sleigh bells in the air, beauty everywhere. Yuletide by the fireside, and joyful memories there

It’s the night before Christmas today. We’re up and about this fine morning. Chaucer is in between us, I can feel his purring.

Nothing really on deck to update y’all about. I spent the better part of 4 or 5 hours trying to and massively failing to clear the palace that I was working on in Persona 5 Royal. So I figured that I would just grind my little ass off. Finally around 5:30, I managed to finish the palace. Now I’m just picking up the pieces and weather the storm of the aftermath.

So we’ll figure some of that out this morning/afternoon. Because I’m sure that I’ll play it today. I’m thinking that this is the endgame now. Is it bad that I’m thinking replay already because I think that I could do things differently. I haven’t heeded the loading screen of “take your time”. And of course, now that I know what I’m doing, I’d do a whole bunch of stuff differently.

Not too much planned for today. We’ll see if the second hand store is open, if it is, we’ll check it out. If it isn’t, I have to get some more cheese, so we’ll probably stop up at work, to grab some. Pizza for dinner tonight.

So deck those halls, trim those trees, raise up cups of Christmas cheer

I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I was very snuggly. I tried to snuggle The Beautiful One, but the way she lays when she’s watching her TikTok’s, is pretty much impossible to snuggle her. But I tried anyways.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. It was busy in the morning, and as the day went on, it slowed down a little. By the time we arrived at closing time? It had pretty much fallen off. But we got what needed to be done.

But now I’m on some days off, which are really nice. I’ll pop out to the tiny grocery store to see if they have any poinsettias. If they do I’ll get one for my grandmother for Christmas. I don’t want to, and can’t afford to get her a drawer full of sugar free candy.

But it’ll be chore day here today. And a massive fight in Persona 5 Royal. It took Crystal most of the day yesterday to finally beat the boss. So I’m definitely not looking forward to the fight. I’m gonna change to easy, before the fight. Hopefully it won’t take me 5 hours.

Fingers crossed.

Coffee.

Normally today would be a mix of Lazy Sunday, and chore day. Sadly, that’s not in the cards today. I’m opening up, and closing the shop today. Yeppers you got me for 8.5 hours all day!

Woot woot!

I slept pretty good last night. Sometime in the night my mask slipped off, and I couldn’t find it. I found it when I got up, and no way I would’ve found it just patting my hands around the bed. It was on Crystal’s legs! I blame the cats for slipping it off my head, and then hiding it.

I don’t have a lot of words for y’all today. I just woke up, and only have about an hour or so before I have to head to work, so yeah I’ll leave this post as is, and try to wake up a little.
