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

I said there must be some Toros In the atmosphere

I’m awake. It was a tossy turny night for me last night. I couldn’t get comfortable, then I was way too warm. I just couldn’t get comfortable. It was very frustrating. So I got up and blindly went to the bathroom, and then tried to find a position that I could:

  • Breathe
  • Warm enough
  • Cool enough
  • Close enough
  • But not too close
  • To Crystal

I think I finally found a happy position for all the above. I say I think that because, I finally fell back asleep. Thankfully I had my mask on, so I have no idea what time it was. but, I believe pretty quickly, I was out after I came back from the bathroom.

Day off today – and dinner is already planned, and is thawing in the cabinet. Bison burgers! Whoop whoop!

But before all this can happen, coffee and relearning how to focus my eyes.

I sleep so I can see you ’cause I hate to wait so long

Back to work today.

It’s been a pretty awesome weekend. Other than going to SlightlyBiggerTown on Friday, and for a few hours yesterday, we didn’t leave the house at all. We were couch locked watching TV. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend. Just what we needed.

Time to make the donuts.

We’re under a bit of another cold snap. Yeah, it’s a little cold out there. Sadly, I’ll be heading out in a couple of hours. But until then, I have a kitty beside me, and one sleeping on my lap.

I hope y’all have been enjoying the AI art that I’ve been producing for the page. It’s fun watching the AI try and make everything perfectly, and failing miserably.

It entertains me.

Have a great Monday, everyone.

I can’t even fucking cap no more, this is a really dark time for me

I slept like the dead.

I don’t think I moved too much in the night.

I was pretty much out as soon as my head hit the pillow. That’s the thing with weekends off, after two nights my body just relaxes. But don’t worry, it’s Sunday today. Time to start amping up anxiety and all that good stuff: I go back to work tomorrow evening.

We didn’t do anything yesterday, and it was glorious. We just were couch locked. We didn’t do anything that had to be done we were content being in the moment.

Since I did the chores last Monday or Tuesday, they’ll go pretty quickly today. I should be able to bang most of them out as they pop up on my reminders.

Other than that, dinner at Shady Acres, and before that – brunch. We won’t talk about the wings disaster last night. No, we won’t.

So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways just use me up and then you walk away

I’m awake. The Beautiful One let me sleep in again. Hopefully, she got to sleep a little later than normal? But she weals probably up early as per usual.

We took off to SlightlyBiggerTown yesterday morning. We hit all of our usual spots, with one deviation: the fabric store. We went in to find a pattern for Crystal to practice her craft. We found one after a few minutes of looking in the pattern books. I pointed out a couple of neat looking ones to her, and she like all Beautiful Ones, took it under advisement. But she charts her own course, and chose one that I wouldn’t have noticed.

After that we drove back to TinyTown. While Crystal put away the groceries, I fuelled up my mom’s truck and returned it to her. I walked back to the Flat, and hunkered down to have lunch. From there we really didn’t do too much. The Beautiful One slept like shite the night before, so she hunkered down to nap, but ending up really getting into some PBS Nova shows. So we had a nice and relaxing afternoon, and we learned a few things as well.

It was a pretty nice Friday for sure. Bring on Saturday!
