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

And when you’re gone, we want you all to know

Yep, here I am. Awake. Not liking it at all. Up this morning at 4:30am. Yep, the one opening shift in the last 2-3 weeks. I much prefer the closing shift. Just a little more relaxed without the manager there.

So it goes.

But I’m at home, and I have a Chaucer on my lap. Last night, Chaucer went into a deep sleep. And was very groggy for the rest of the night. He’s the type of cat, that if I picked him up, and moved him into the bedroom- he wouldn’t stay. So we made sure he was ok, and went to bed, hoping that he’d jump up and snuggle. He didn’t before I went to bed, but he was snuggled up to Crystal this morning.

I’m gonna play some Zelda. Happy whatever day it is.

Good morning everyone.

It’s bright and sunny out there this morning. We’ll be heading out in a few hours – to other SlightlyBiggerTown to look for something for my mom’s birthday, and we’ll check out the second hand store, and the discount store.

We’ll grab Subway for lunch. Yum!

Work wasn’t too bad last night. It was somewhat busy for a few hours, and then it totally dropped off. And it was cold out. Stupid cooler weather. Why can’t it just be sunny, 72°, and just a slight breeze all year long.

I have Chaucer sleeping on my lap. He’s happiest when he’s snuggled on me. Pippin is somewhere, yelling. Since it’s sunny, she wants the back door open. Maybe later.

I need more coffee. Happy Wednesday, my dudes.

But there’s no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you

I think that it’s Tuesday. I passed out again last night. But, I was up around 6ish, just to go to the bathroom. Then back to bed, and I passed out again, after I found my mask.

Out. Like. A. Light.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. There were three of us on the night shift. New guy is training nights, so he’ll be there all week. It was slow, and he was saying that “it’s not so bad, I think day shift is a lot busier than night shift.” We tried to explain that it’s usually a lot busier. But you could tell by his face, he didn’t believe us.

Working nights again tonight, then off tomorrow. We’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown to find a birthday present for my mom, and really it’s an excuse to go to the second hand store.

I’m knackered again, come on sleep take me soon

Again, I’m awake.

Again, when Crystal nudged me, it scared me. But, thankfully, when I woke up, I didn’t have to save the world. It sounded like it was gonna be a doozy too.

I’d rather have a kitten on my lap.

Which I have right now.

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. I did the regular Sunday chores, and brunch. After brunch was cleaned up, I decided to play some Echos of Wisdom. I wanted to get the ice shoes, and then I went into the final dungeon.

Yep, I beat the game. It’s a really really fun game I really enjoyed playing it. It took a little bit to figure it all out, and I’m really not good with puzzles, but I figured out probably 80-95% of them mostly on my own, with a little help from the queen that sits next to me. She’s very good at puzzles.

But it’s back to work again. Happy Monday, and all that happy bullshit. I’m still trying to get my eyes to focus.

Let’s go out and kick today in the nuts!
