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

But I’ve been waking up with your voice in my head and I’m tryna send a message and let you know that

Good morning everyone. It’s still dark outside, but the news is fresh, and the coffee is hot. We got Chaucer snuggled up in between us. It’s Monday morning, and I have the closing shift tonight.

Work yesterday wasn’t not bad at all. It wasn’t busy but the people that did come in we took care of and they left happy. The day passed pretty quickly, even though it was quiet. I think most sane people didn’t want to leave the house because it’s so cold out.

Thankfully though, we’re on a bit of a warm up right now. Which is much like here. It’ll be like an early spring! Not really, but it’ll feel like it for sure.

As you can tell from me waxing poetic about the weather, I don’t have anything new to convey to all y’all so I’m gonna wrap this up. Have a great Monday.

Let’s see what Trudeau does today.

Have a proper giggle I’ll be quite polite but when I rock the mic

I’m awake. Well, I’ve been awake every couple of hours to make sure I still have time to sleep. I think that’s exactly what happened. The first time I got up was around 1am, then 3, 4, 6:10, 6:30, and then finally 6:57.

The alarm works. I just wish my subconscious would believe me when I say that. The alarm works. It went off, on time, just like it always does, when I allow it. I’m always up before the alarm, and it’s tiring.

But it’s a full day at work today. It’s not bad. We open at 10, and before you know it, it’s noon, and then you only have another 6 hours, which does actually go by quickly. So, it’ll be a very good day today.

Plus, when I finally get home tonight, it’s taco night. Woot woot! Taco night. I can’t wait! Happy Sunday y’all!

I can’t do pictures, I’m too busy, I don’t deal with the press

I’ve been up since 5 this morning. I wanted to sleep until my alarm went off, but alas, earwax – it never happened. I rolled out of bed and started my day.

It’s cold out. This morning was -28°C out there with the wind. I’m still dressed in layers and am shivering. It’s a nasty, but nicely sunny out. Sadly, the sun isn’t warming much of anything out there.

I don’t know what I’m gonna do this afternoon. I’ll probably play some Persona later, after Crystal’s YouTube show is over.

Back to work all day tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll go quickly, and without any major problems. Sundays are always long 8.5 hour days, and you have to do the opening and closing paperwork. But, yeah, it’ll be a day for sure.

But for today, thankfully nothing that needs to get done. I’ll do laundry on Wednesday when I’m off.

Whoopsie, made a oopsie 100, 000-dollar oops made me loopy (yeah)

I’m awake. I slept like the dead last night. I only got up once in the night to use the bathroom. But until shortly before I woke up, no matter what position I was in, it was a comfortable position. Until just before I woke up, that’s when my nose decided that no matter how I was sleeping, I couldn’t breathe.

We’re under weather warnings here for extreme cold. Yay. Who doesn’t love extreme cold? I live for extreme cold. Not really. It’s mean that I have to dress in layers. It looks like we just have to make it until Wednesday. Then it starts to warm up again.

We’re all on the couch this morning. Chaucer is in between us, and the youngster Pippin, is camped out on my shins. Both will be annoyed when I get up for more coffee, and to use the bathroom.

I don’t think that we have anything planned for today. I’m sure that we’ll both play some Persona 5 Royal sometime today. We’re both working on the last palace. I’m trying so hard to move slowly and get everything. Trying to savour the last remnants of what’s left.

Ok, time to annoy the cats by getting up. Happy Friyay my friends. Does Friday still matter, when you work the weekend? I don’t know. Either way, it’s the end of the week, we made it!
