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

I’ve got the feeling that something ain’t right

It took forever for me to fall asleep last night. And Pippin didn’t help at all. Thrice, she was on top of me, THRICE, I lifted the blanket for her to snuggle. ThRiCe, she merped and ran off. I was done at that point, and ignored he every other time she came up and wanted to snuggled.

Anyways, so far, the blizzard that’s supposed to be happening right now has, well, come up a little short so far. Just a dusting, or skiff as my mother would say. It looks like it’s a little windy out there, but nothing too much out there. Perhaps the snow will start a little later? Who knows, it’s 3rd winter. Everything is up for grabs.

In fact, looking at the weather app, we’re not expecting anymore snow here until around April 4th. I’ll take it! Hopefully the wind will stay down. I could deal with the snow. But the wind just drains you when you’re outside.

Oh, also on Wednesday as I was clearing out all the games I don’t play, but collect, I finally created an account for Infinity Nikki. It’s a very cute game, I would definitely have to concentrate on it , as it seems like a pretty in depth game. The sad thing is, it’s a mobile game, so the controls are a little wonky.

But the graphics are pretty freaking great for a mobile game. I would say that they’re pretty close, if not equal to the switch. But that’s just me talking out of my ass. It’s a very pretty game for sure.

You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealing’s done

Good morning all you crazy crazy people. The Flat is awake, and the coffee just finished brewing. I have The Beautiful One sitting next to me, and the tiny Pippin cat snuggled on my lap.

I slept like the dead last night. I don’t think I moved too much last night. I did get up in the night to use the facilities, and climbed back into bed where I snuggled Crystal as closely as I could. Like I’ve said in the past, the bed was the most perfect temperature.

We didn’t do a bunch of anything. It was a good sloth day. Around lunch time I made brunch, and Crystal enjoyed some bacon and pancakes for breakfast, where I had eggs, bacon, and hash browns. After the meal, we were nice and full.

After brunch, we sat on the couch and Crystal played some Balatro, and I play some Slay the Spire on my phone. I cleared out some other games that I downloaded and then never played. I have to try and get my Battle.net account up and running again, then I can try Hearthstone. But that might be a hassle. I haven’t decided yet.

I’m having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee

We’re all awake here. It’s slightly gray outside but it doesn’t look that chilly out there. But I bet it’s a little chilly out there. We’re in the middle of third winter, but hopefully it’ll be the last winter of the season.

Yesterday morning, I bit the bullet and installed Slay the Spire on the phone. I played it very briefly on Sunday when we got home from Shady Acres. I played for about 40 minutes and unlocked the second character. I think I’m just going to unlock the characters and maybe just play one until I’ve gotten good at it, then I’ll try a new character.

Work was a little busier last night. It was doable, but it was an annoying steady. You just get your jacket off, and you have to go outside to help another customer. But again, it pretty much died out once it got dark. We had a perfect night the night before, so we’ll see how we did when I get in tomorrow.

No plans for today. I got up in the middle of the night to find my sleep mask, and to go to the bathroom. As I was sitting there I remembered that I said I’d be making brunch today. Woohoo! Brunch! I’m sure I’ll make poutine for dinner tonight.

But before I get added to any US attack plans, I’m gonna get some more coffee, and snuggle Crystal and the tiny Pippin. Happy Wednesday!

Sail away with me to another world

I’m awake. The bed was the perfect temperature, and I didn’t want to get out of bed. Thankfully, Pippin only scream for what felt like maybe 3 or 4 hours. But I know it was only for a few seconds. But she sure is loud, when she wants to be.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. Slow/steady. But we managed to get some stuff done yesterday. I think we managed to get everything done that needed to be done. I managed to get some propane tanks filled, the weather was gorgeous out so I’ll take any excuse to go outside.

The Prime Minister called for a snap election for the end of April. Like south of the wall, it’s pretty much good vs Trump lite. Hopefully, Canadians can learn from what happened south, and choose wisely in April. we’ll find out on the 28th of April.

Back to work again tonight. Hopefully the shift goes as quickly as yesterday. And hopefully the weather is as nice as yesterday as well. I totes wasn’t complaining about the weather yesterday. It was beautiful out.
