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

Burned out like the prom queen we’re all mirrors and smoke rings

It took a hot minute to fall asleep last night. I wasn’t high enough. The sleep daddy that I chose wasn’t doing it for me. After trying, and resetting the video 4 or 5 times, I put it in one that I know would work. I closed my eyes – oh and let me say, last night every time I closed my eyes, they felt like they were open still. Really fucked with my mind last night. It wasn’t too nice, lemme tell you. I only had to reset the new video once, maybe twice.

I had a plan, that if I woke up in the night, to go to the bathroom, I’d give a snack to Podrick, to see if that would help him sleep in just a little. Well, of course I wouldn’t get up last night.

I’m actually happy that I didn’t. I slept through until I looked at my phone, 6:30? perhaps. Not too shabby.

So this will be a short one this morning. Back to work for the all-day Sunday shift. I woke up this morning, and the first thought I had was, it’s gonna be a good day.

So, I’m gonna have a good day. I hope y’all do as well. I’ll be finishing up Elimination Chamber when I get home. I just can’t really surf the information super highway until I finish the PPV. Spoilers and the such.

Coffee.

Drink some holy water from a Dixie cup

Just as the US and Israel (get in bubbi, we’re going to war), Podrick started his offensive a little later than normal,!8 think. I believe he started on Crystal’s side of the bed – the light I think. We both ignored him. I tossed and turned, just trying to regulate my body temp, and to get comfortable. Finally I got into the spot. I think I dozed for an hour or so. Then I looked at the time, and started to boot up process.

All that stands between me and my upcoming days off, are just two pesky shifts – a closing shift tonight, and the uber popular Sunday shift. I can do it. I can survive. Nevertheless, she persists.

I will be missing the live showing of WWE Elimination Chamber this evening. That’s ok, I’ve been really luck my schedule-wise to see the last handful of PPVs live the last few months. I’ll just have to stay away from spoilers this evening, and tomorrow. I’ll probably watch one match tonight, and then finish up the show after work tomorrow.

But let’s just concentrate on the right now. Right now I need a refill of my coffee. Then I need to add more water to the pot to BREW ALL THE COFFEE. So that’s what I’m going to do. Happy Saturday, bitches. You know what to do, so do it. Or not. Totes up to you.

Somebody had to set a bad example teach all the prim and propers what not to do

Good morning my friends. I hope y’all are staying classy, because all y’all are classy bitches. We’re up, and out of bed a little early this fine Friyay morning: Podrick.

‘Nuff said.

Plus, in addition to Podrick, it was wicked warm in the bed, and I’m still all stuffed up. So there’s that. So we got up, the coffee is brewed, and the news is on. And this morning, I’m really enjoying the comma. But, you ask, what about the Oxford Comma?

But it’s time to drag myself out and start the wake up process. I don’t have a lot to say this morning, because I still have 3 shifts before my days off. Sadly, I won’t be able to watch Elimination Chamber tomorrow live. I’ll have to watch it Sunday night.

I need more coffee. It’s Friyay. It’s cold. It’s dark. Let’s fucking party!

We’re right on the brink burned out like the prom queen

I passed out very quickly last night. I was le tired. I got the sleep daddy video that I wanted, got the volume right, adjusted my mask, and closed my eyes. I startled awake probably 3 minutes later, so I reset the video, and started all over again.

Second time was the charm.

I sunk into the bed. Deep into the bed.

I think I got up sometime in the night, to go to the bathroom. I don’t remember if Podrick joined me or not. He could’ve already been sleeping. I didn’t stop too long to look. Climbed back into bed, and was out again.

Back to work this afternoon. Yesterday was an opening shift. I don’t really like those anymore. I’m too used to the closing shift. It’s too stressful to tell my myself over and over that my alarm is set, and I will hear it. Even though I have music playing.

Honestly, I’m more used to waking up on my own/having Podrick wake me up. That’s what I’m used to. And Podrick is slowly getting better. I messed up the entire plan by rolling out of bed at 4:18 yesterday morning.

I’ve been thinking about setting my house on fire

Oh lawd, 4:30 came early this morning. You know what came earlier? 4:18. That’s when I rolled out of bed this morning. I had to be at work for 5:30. I got up, and noticed the cats weren’t around anywhere. I looked in the bathroom, and they were snuggled on the top shelf asleep. so I started my day, the only way I know how.

I went to the bathroom, then turned on the coffee pot, and quickly got dressed, as it was freaking cold in the apartment. I was pretty close to shivering when I finally got all my layers on. Spoiler alert; I really didn’t need all the layers today. The manager that usually comes in at the Sam time was running late, so I opened the store. I probably would’ve done it anyways, I don’t mind opening. I was working with a guy that doesn’t work the POS system, so I was on register duty. While it was slow, I did some cleaning. Once groceries arrived then we got down to work.

Thankfully it wasn’t too busy in the store, so it only took an hour to finish up the groceries. By that time second shift was mere minutes out. So I went and filled the truck, and within like 10ish minutes I was on my commute back to The Flat.

I don’t plan on doing too much. I do have to get up again, every time I get up, I forget to take my happy pill. Update: finally took it.

Left over pizza for lunch. Appetizers for dinner.

Days over y’all.
