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

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.

Sometimes dropping down to fifty miles per hour only to immediately gun it back up to 90 again fast, slow, fast, fast, slow

Well I almost beat Balatro yesterday.

Almost.

I would’ve beaten it, if I had one more hand. I had to beat $100,000. I made it to I think 88,000. So I still haven’t beaten it. But I did make it to ante 8, round 24. So that’s something, right?

Other than that, we didn’t do too much. We did the chores, and we relaxed before going over to Shady Acres. It was a nice quiet weekend. But now, I have to go back to work.

In a few hours.

But first, coffee. And hopefully Pippin will wander over and snuggle a little bit.

Well, happy Monday everyone. I hope your week goes well. It’s a long work week this week for me. But hopefully it’s getting warmer out.

Elphie, come on, we’ll be late for Wizomania!

Pippin was very insistent this morning. So I let her under the covers. She didn’t stay too long and was off doing Pippin things again. Up to and including, standing on me and screaming. Standing on the bed and screaming. Standing in the bedroom and screaming. And, I cont forget this one: standing in the hallway outside the bedroom and screaming.

She’s just looking for Chaucer.

I slept pretty good. I was slowly starting to wake up around the time that Pippin was starting, but she quieted down for a few minutes, and I managed to fall back asleep again.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. Like I said in yesterday’s post, it didn’t actually snow. It just looked like it was going to all day. But we managed not to get lost in the new grocery store, and did our other rounds, making it home just a little earlier than normal.

We didn’t do too much after putting away the groceries, and having our subway lunches. Crystal play Balatro, and I think I watched YouTube shorts or something like that. We just spent time together. No! I remember! I browsed Reddit on Crystal’s laptop!

I made wings for myself for dinner, and chicken strips for the Beautiful One. After dinner I gave her the option of an early bath and movie, or just a movie. Crystal chose to just watch a movie, so I put on Wicked.

Why is it part one? Why wasn’t it markets as a part one?

I really liked it. Course I’m going in 1000% blind. I’ve never seen The Wizard of Oz, or really anything related to Oz. Other than I think a SyFy mini series called Tin Man. But does that even count?

Today – chores, coffee. We’ll be heading over to Shady Acres to celebrate my dad’s birthday.

But back to work tomorrow. Yay.

And she was far from in-between, it was summertime in northern Michigan

Good morning everyone! Welcome to Saturday. It hasn’t started to snow yet. But it’s coming.

Update: the snow has disappeared from the forecast!

Oh happy day!

No snow! No snow!

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday afternoon. It was busy, but still workable with 2 people. We managed to get everything finished as we walked out the door. I almost floated out the door, knowing that I have the next 48 hours off. People would ask what I was going to do. I laughed and said, “oh you know, laundry, grocery shopping, etc”. I’m such a social butterfly.

Pippin just climbed up on my lap and has snuggled in for a little while. At least until I’m done with this post, and I get up to get more coffee.

So yeah, it’ll be a good weekend. In a few hours, we’ll head to SlightlyBiggerTown for supplies, and then back to the Flat for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, we’ll be doing chores, and then over to Shady Acres for my father’s birthday.

Monday? Let’s not talk about Monday.
