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

Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey

I’m awake. Chaucer woke me up everytime he screamed. And he screamed a lot last night, and this morning. He’s currently leaning on Crystal purring away. I made Pippin another pipe cleaner toy, and she’s pouting because I’m not throwing it for her. She doesn’t understand to drop it closer to the couch.

Yesterday was utter and total sloth. Crystal wasn’t feeling too well, so I fired up Persona 5 Royal and played that for most of the day while. Crystal slept beside me on the couch. Eventually, she woke up feeling better than when she went to sleep. She said she wanted dinner, and the dinner that I planned. So I fired up the oven and we ate like royalty.

‘Twas good, m’lady.

Today, she was awake, but let me sleep in a little. She’s so good like that, she’s been up for at least 3 hours before I even start to think about getting up, and she lets me sleep. She’s truly the best in the world.

Nothing much happening today. I’ll start laundry after this, more coffee, chores, etc. then we’ll be off to Shady Acres for dinner. Then of course, back to work tomorrow.

Oh yeah, trade war. Good times.

Sorry I’m not home right now I’m walking into spiderwebs

Hey y’all. I’m typing this from the couch as per normal, but it’s been a morning so far. With Chaucer scream like he was being beaten, and the fact that all the sleepless night, have finally caught up with The Beautiful One.

Yeah, she’s not feeling the greatest, and is in the shower currently trying to regulate her temperature. It’s never works the first time, but we always hope that it will cure what ails her. I hate seeing her like this, because there’s nothing that I can do.

So today will be a low key day here at The Flat. And I’ll figure something out for lunch and dinner for myself. And if she’s not feeling well tomorrow, I’ll text mom and say we won’t be coming over for dinner, but I’ll head up and drop off the mail for them.

Watching the FireAid on NBC News Now. It surprised me that it was in. For a split second, I was curious why No Doubt was on Dateline. Wow Gwen Stefani was just calling it in. She can’t sing anymore, and has zero stage presence. She butchered two classic No Doubt songs. I was embarrassed for her. Like Crystal said, “she looks like a leather purse was left in the sun for a couple of summers.” Sadly, I tend to agree with her assessment.

In a change of sitting arrangements, Chaucer is on my lap, and the Pippin is sitting on Crystal’s lap. It’s finna be a quiet day. No cap, homies.

Good morning everyone. My eyes are still trying to focus, so this’ll be a pretty quick post this morning.

I slept like a rock until 5am. Now I feel like Crystal in the morning. Even though she was probably up a couple of hours before me. I was a little tossy turny this morning, trying to get back to sleep until my alarm went off.

Spoiler alert: I was up and out of bed two minute before the alarm went off. Good times.

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day of sloth. Sure, we went to the second hand store, and other than that, I just sat on the couch playing Persona 5 Royal all afternoon until it was time to season the wings and put them in the oven.

Back to work this morning for a rare 8-4 shift. I think it’ll be a pretty good day. Happy Friday everyone!

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans

Good morning, my friends. I hope you slept well during the night. My back has been a little twitchy, so it hurt a bit while trying to roll over, and it’s still twitchy. It’s mostly from standing a lot. And I’ve been trying to stand more at work.

Anyways…

I have a day off today, which is great. I don’t have anything to do. So I might play some video games today. We’ll see, but it’s a very good chance that I will.

Imagine my surprise, when I turn down my back alley last night, and there’s a handful of deer staring at me. I quickly text Crystal to go to the back door as soon as possible. we got to watch a couple deer mosey through our back yard.

Pretty cool, huh?
