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

And this weekend only, take advantage of our special liquidation sale. Buy nine spatulas, get the tenth one for just one penny.

Good morning my friends, it’s another day for us here, north of the wall. For right now, it’s bright and sunny. But it looks and feels windy out there. Dressing in layers is still needed. At least for another week or so.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad on the ol mid shift. It’s not bad to every once in a while, to do a mid shift. You always feel like a third person on a date. So, I just cleaned, and stocked what I could. I mostly kept busy. It made the time go by, for the most part. Eventually, I looked at the time, and saw my replacement come in, and I was off home again.

I played a game or two of Balatro, and then cooked dinner. It was a low key quiet evening. We watched TV, and just relaxed on the couch. I’m back to a normal schedule for the next couple of days. Then for the Easter weekend, I’m on days.

I’m awake.

I’m not happy about it.

I’ve been up for a while. Not too long, but enough to be annoyed that I’m up a few hours before I normally fall out of bed. I mean it wasn’t a bad sleep. It just wasn’t a great sleep. I was up in the night. Then when I got back to bed, I was freezing cold. It’s like while I was out of bed, I lost all heat in my body. Even the bed when I got in, didn’t feel warm.

Fully clothed, with a kitten on my lap, I’m starting to get warm again.

We did nothing yesterday, and it was grand. We basically played Balatro all day, with a break to pop over to the second hand store. Then back to Balatro.

I finally won a run! Woohoo!

Oh look, I did it again. So I figured I’d switch decks, and keep the run going. Nope that was it. I actually beat it thrice, but as so surprised I forgot the screenshot!

Working the mid shift today. Schedule is kind of all over the place, mixed bag of shifts this week. We’ll get through it. We’ll get through it for Jesus.

Made a meal outta me, and come back for more

Good morning everyone. It’s a brand new day, and Pippin is watching the world go by via the back door. I’ve been up on and off since probably around 6 am, when I got up to use the bathroom. The weather is changing, and I’m all stuffed up, and I had to lay in such a position so I could breathe.

Yep, it’s springtime.

But it’s a day off. The last one until Monday I believe. It’s gonna be a long week. But I’ll be working the holiday, and Easter Sunday. And I don’t think Sunday will be too busy. I mean it’ll still be busy, but with it landing on Easter, I don’t think it’ll be too crazy.

Wow, it took two paragraphs to catch y’all up on what’s happening. Oh, it is Tuesday, maybe we’ll go to the second hand store here in town. Yeah, I think we might do that.

Pop some tags.

This is fucking awesome.

Pop pop mothafucka!

My, my, how can I resist you?

Back to work today.

The weekend always moves at a speed faster than the rest of the week. I don’t have the weekend off this week. I’ll be working all weekend

But it’s the resurrection of our lord and saviour.

It doesn’t matter about Jesus. If he was here, he’d want us open so he could buy a Slush Puppie. Don’t ask me why they’re called that? It’s totally weird, and it makes me uncomfortable to look at the poster.

We didn’t do shit this weekend. The only thing that really got done was the laundry. We have clean clothes for the week. So we’ll figure out the week. I have to call a couple of places to make sure that they’re open on Friday, because if they are we’ll head out on Friday to do the shopping.
