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

I saw Satan laughing with delight

Good froggy morning. Yep, again it’s a little froggy out there. And it feels unusually warm out there for how it looks. It’s another Sunday here in TinyTown. The quick short shift passed by as quickly as it could’ve. I did some cleaning, and a little organizing. I passed on what I did to BossLady, and started my weekend.

When I got home, Crystal was playing Hades. I had some grapes for lunch, and I watched her play as I scrolled through YouTube shorts. It was a really nice afternoon. Eventually, I was passed the controller, and I could wander around Hyrule for a couple of hours. It was really nice.

Crystal made an awesome dinner of rice and chicken fajitas. Oh it was very good. I really enjoyed it very much. I think this was the first time at least in the house, put rice in my fajitas. So freakin good!!

I went full on nerd for an hour and a half after dinner. I went and put on Star Trek: First Contact. I did notice that everyone looked a little young. I thought the movie was released in the early 2000s. But no, it was released in the late 1900s. Wow, do I feel old.

Chore day today. But I need more coffee before that happens. Let’s get caffeinated!

Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Ugh, good morning. It’s bright and sunny out beyond the walls of The Flat. I slept like the dead last night. I think I rolled over just once. So I’m a little stiff this morning. the alarm scared me when it went off. I must have been in a deep sleep. But I’m awake, and here I am. Chaucer has already claimed my lap, and Pippin is in a sunbeam on the table at the back door.

Typical Saturday.

I have a short shift at work today. Hopefully it’ll go quickly, and I’ll be back home before I know it. It’s shouldn’t be too bad today. Of course it’s a holiday here. Non-paid one, but still a holiday. It’s the National day for Truth and Reconciliation today. I don’t have an orange shirt, but that’s ok.

A new Wes Anderson movie dropped on Netflix a couple of days ago. Maybe this evening we’ll watch it. We’re fans of Wes here. We’ve seen a couple of the bigger movies, and have liked them. We really enjoyed the Fantastic Mr. Fox. So maybe we’ll watch this one and enjoy it as well.

So yeah. That’s about it. Date night went good! We had an amazing dinner. Crystal got her usual, and I asked the cook if it was too busy to order breakfast for dinner. It was not so I had bacon and sausages and eggs and all the fixings. It was really good.

But today is a new day. Bright and sunny. Let’s all have a good day today. After more coffee of course!

Everyone’s watching, to see what you will do

Welp here we are. Friyay morning. The alarm kinda scared me this morning. It was a loud commercial. The sky is clear, and the sun is slowly rising. It looks like a nice morning out there. The coffee is brewing.

Nothing really new to report. Just working. It wasn’t too bad at work yesterday. I had my NewNewGirl buffer at work. I don’t have her today, but I think it’ll be a good day. I have stuff on my desk to keep me busy for a little while this morning. And I’m sure BossLady will have more for me to do.

I don’t have too many plans for the weekend. I have a short shift on Saturday, but other than that, the weekend is my own. I don’t think we need to go anywhere, so I think it just might be a nice relaxing couple of days. Yep, a couple of days filled with chores and probably video games.

So let’s raise our coffee cups and salute the god of the weekend! Happy Friyay my friends, we’re almost there!

Ow. I slept way wrong last night and I hurt this morning. I’m sure it’ll go away as I start moving today. But for right now it hurts. I don’t think I moved too much in the night. I was mentally exhausted. It was a long day at work, yet the day seemed to move mostly quickly.

It looks like it rained a little before we woke up this morning. I think it’s supposed to be a rainy day for most of the day today. It’s fall, and we’re getting all the rain that we should’ve got in the spring.

After a long day, I struggled to find something mindless to enjoy. I tried Dark, but I was having trouble concentrating on it. Finally, I found a tried and true movie – Hackers. While the technology doesn’t really hold up, it’s still a great movie.

Back to work with the whole office today. That should be interesting. I have a feeling a lot will be started, and not a lot will be completed. Thems the breaks. We’ll get through the day.

But before all that can happen: coffee.

Give me the coffee.

You are my fire the one desire

Good morning my friends. Everyone in The Flat is awake, and Chaucer has all ready tossed his breakfast. So it’s pretty much another day here in TinyTown. Fun huh?

I think I got up in the night. The clock either said 12:47, or 2:47. I didn’t dwell on the clock when I got up to go to the bathroom. Knowing my bladder, and the highness, I’d be betting it was 12:47. But I climbed back into bed, and I fell back asleep pretty quickly. Only because when I climbed back into bed, I shut the heat off to my side. It was warm lemme tell you.

But I fell back to sleep. It was that weird temperature – I was either cold or too warm. Thems the breaks I guess. I think the next time I got up was just a few minutes before the alarm went off.

Crystal got some Halloween costumes at the second hand store yesterday. Including one that I just told her just get it. You’re coming up with all these funny ideas, so just get it! Spoiler alert: she got it.

So it’s a grey day here. It’s ok. I have to be back at work for a full day today. Let’s get the day started, so the day will be over!

But first: coffee.
