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

These things eat at your bones and drive your young mind crazy

It’s finally my weekend! Worked and drove over semi-questionable roads to SlightlyBiggerTown and have returned full of Subway, and ready to play Persona 5 Royal. Then I remembered that I had to preach to the masses first.

So here I am. I woke up this morning around 5 this morning, and didn’t want to get out of bed, so I dozed until about 5:25. That’s when I noticed that the alarm wasn’t even set. I must have shut it off when I set the alarm last night. So thankfully, I didn’t sleep all the way in.

Work was slow to begin with, but Saturdays usually are, but it started to pick up as I was leaving. So there’s that for sure.

So now I’m gonna relax and recharge, chore day tomorrow. Woot!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Thank god it’s Friyay. It’s a blustery cold day out there. I survived work and am back home, with Chaucer in between us.

I’m tired, man. I was up early this morning, but managed to go back to sleep for about a half hour before the alarm went off. I got up and stumbled to the kitchen to turn the coffee on, then did my bathroom things, then came out to the living room to get dressed.

I don’t really have a lot to type about today. I did manage to make a list yesterday, and bought some stuff at work and got gas. We’ll be heading out tomorrow after work to grab a few more things from an actual grocery store, and the weed store. Possibly even subway. But probably not as it’ll be later than normal when we get into SlightlyBiggerTown.

Yep it’s cold. Very cold. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m at home with a happy Chaucer on my lap. Lemme tell you, it was hard getting up this morning. I woke up at 4:22, missing my sleep mask. So I figured I might as well get up and start the day.

I got up turned on the coffee pot, and that’s when Chaucer wandered out to say good morning. I fed him, then quickly got dressed. I figured I had about 40 minutes before I had to start the Hot Mess. The car had a little trouble starting, but did fire up right away, which made my day.

Now I’m home, and I’ll probably fire up Persona 5 Royal in a few minutes. Unless Crystal is taking her hair off and then I’ll cut all the elastics and then play.

It’s a pretty good day so far even though I’ve only had one cup of coffee. But that’s ok.

Próspero año y felicidad (Ah-ha)

Good chilly morning from north of the wall. Yep, it’s that time again. The Flat is awake. Chaucer is on my lap, Pippin is in the window, and the Beautiful One is next to me on the couch, of course looking beautiful.

Work was, well, work. People came in and had the most perfect timing of as soon as I take off my coat, another would pull up, and I’d have to go back out into the arctic. Definitely not cool, yo.

It’s a day off here, and the next 3 days (4 if you include Monday), I’ll be opening at the store. Yep, up when it’s dark, and home in the early afternoon for the next few days.

Today is all about Persona 5 Royal. I brought home lunch and dinner last night. Crystal has gotten a little farther a head, so today will be the day that I catch up to her again. This system seems to work; she gets a head I catch up, and gets a little ahead, and Crystal pulls into the lead again. It’s a nice back and forth.

So yeah, that’s what’s happened. I need a refill, and I have to move Chaucer. Happy Wednesday y’all.
