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

I’m so sick from the drink, I need home for a rest

I’m awake.

The bed was so snuggly, I didn’t want to leave. But I had to. I got shit to do. But currently I have Chaucer holding me down. He’s snuggled right in.

I slept like the dead.

Today, we don’t have too much on our table. I have laundry to do. Brunch to cook, and later, I’ll be hauling 10 bags of wood pellets into Shady Acres.

I don’t really have too much else to say, so here’s a picture. Look at that for a little while, it’ll take some time for me to wake up. Happy Sunday my friends, pop over to Crystal’s page to ask her about a cake!

I made it to work on time, and proceeded to do all the opening stuff related to opening a retail establishment. I got that done, and one or two bonus tasks, and then we were open. It was slow at the beginning, but slowly, it picked up.

Thankfully, the opening shift is only 7 hours. When I was time to leave, I drove to my parents place and switched vehicles. I picked up Crystal, and we were off to SlightlyBiggerTown for much needed supplies. Since we both didn’t have lunch we grabbed Subway to go. And go we did. Back at the house I again switched vehicles, and came home to eat.

After good time, I regaled Crystal with some YouTube Shorts, and now I just finished feeding the cats. Pippin beat Chaucer to my lap. So he’s a little put out.

No to relax. Happy Saturday, yo.

I’ve been gone for a month, I’ve been drunk since I left

I’m awake, but I didn’t want to get out of the bed. The bed was so comfortable and so toasty warm. But alas, earwax – I’m up and dressed. I’m not liking it at all.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. Until it started to rain. So with cooler weather, wind, and then a smattering of rain. It was very chilly out there last night. But we made it though, and I got home just in time to get some hot chocolate.

Chaucer noticed that I didn’t have a cat on my lap, so he came from across the room, full old man speed, walks across Crystal to get to me. He’s very proud of himself this morning.

Two more shifts, and I’ll have a day and a half off. Woohoo! Then it’ll be back to the grind. It is what it is. I’m just sad that because of my work schedule, we haven’t had a date night in so very long. That just isn’t right. I want a Friday off so we can have a date night.

Cream puffs and bourbon and the music was louder

Good morning, my friends. I couldn’t even tell you what day it is. With the long weekend, and then two days off right after, the week is a blur. If I had to guess, with all the markers that I’ve seen, it’s probably Thursday.

The rooms is a little chilly, but the coffee is totes hot. I have Pippin on my lap, and a slightly annoyed Chaucer, who really wanted to get on my lap. He’s staring at her right now, and Pippin just doesn’t care.

Other than that, I don’t have too much to add. It was a pretty ok day at work yesterday. Busy, which is good. The day went pretty quickly. So that was a good thing for sure! Happy Thursday y’all!
