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

The beat goes on and on and on and on and Boom clap, you make me feel good

A sound rang out in the middle of the night – a spoon falling into the sink.

I wonder which cat was on the counter?

I know that it’s not Chaucer.

I was told to go back to sleep. So sleep I did. I really didn’t want to get up this morning, as the bed was the perfect temperature, and I didn’t want to go out in the cold, cruel world.

But here we are, I can hear the tiny one digging in the littler box, and Chaucer is laying on my lap, keeping me warm.

Back to work this afternoon. A coworkers grandmother passed away late last week, and the funeral is today, so BossLady had to quickly change the schedule around. If it was the old schedule, I’d have already been at work for about 2.5 hours already.

I prefer the closing shifts.

Back to work. Coffee first.

So, it snowed here yesterday.

And we drove in it. Going to SlightlyBiggerTown wasn’t too bad. Made pretty good time only 20mph below the speed limit. We shopped and got what we needed in town.

We started back to TinyTown, the roads got worse. I had to slow down as the roads were getting worse, and a couple of times I actually felt the back end start to slide, and slowly drift over to the shoulder of the road. But we made its back to TinyTown, not in the greatest time, but I wasn’t going for speed.

For entertainment last night, I noticed that Twisters was finally available to rent, so that’s what I did. When Crystal got out of the tub, we settled down and watched. I really enjoyed the movie, it totally stands on its own.

It’s chore day here, as I really try to avoid looking out the window. It’s a winter wonderland out there. I guess I should get used to it. I won’t see grass or bare pavement for 6 months.

But first, coffee

Ayy, cowboy hat with the chaps (chaps), real hot girl shit, put it on the map

Crystal let me sleep in an extra fifteen minutes, and I love her for that.

I open up my phone, and see that we’re under a snowfall watch for today. The first snowfall of the season. Yay. I’ve been dreading this for a couple of weeks. If it snows, it’ll stick, and if it sticks, we’re stuck with it for about 6 months.

We (royal we) are not impressed.

So, we’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown to get food and other needed supplies a little later in the morning. It shouldn’t be a terrible drive, even with the possibility of the snow.

Happy Saturday!

Walk straight into this mess of mine

I’m awake and not liking it. I had a terrible sleep. A noise woke me up and I was completely sober. You see I smoke weed to shut the TV off in my mind. So I’m jolted awake – it could’ve been a cat. I don’t know what time it was. The TV in my mind was going full blast. I slowly try to concentrate on one “channel”. I’d slowly filter out all the other “channels” out of my mind, the a random noise would bring all the other channels would come back full force.

Finally I fell asleep.

I think I was then up early. With a cat walking on me or something. Yep. Good morning Chaucer.

Just need to make it through the shift today. Then I can relax a little bit for two days. I’ve done 80% of the laundry already, so chore day will be really easy this Sunday.

Coffee, the bringer of life. Bring me to life please, because it’s Friyay! And payday!
