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

I’m crossing my fingers, and counting every kiss

Good afternoon everyone. How’s 2025 treating y’all so far? Me? Up at the ass crack of dawn, 15 minutes before the alarm went off. I didn’t want to over sleep, so I rolled out of bed and started the day.

I was warned last night. Lemme back that up. I got a text from BossLady asking if I’d change my closing shift to an opening shift, as the opener called out sick. I said no problem. Immediately, the guy that closed on New Year’s Eve texted, and warned me the store was a complete mess as groceries came as they were starting to close the store.

The back room was unkempt.

But we had everything cleaned up shortly after the store was opened. The morning was really slow, but started to pick up as we were getting ready for the next shift to take over.

Now I’m finishing this post and we’re gonna head out to the second hand store to see if anything is tickling our fancy.

Nachos for dinner.

Yum!

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Happy new year everyone! Happy new year. The Beautiful One let me sleep in a little bit. Which is much appreciated. I was sleeping on a skinny pillow as my neck is still paining me. It helps a little but it still really hurts. I slept wicked wrong the night before. My body is falling apart.

We didn’t do too much of anything last year. I was getting tired of the really small loop for the news yesterday, so I put on Knives Out. What a good mystery. I think I enjoyed it the second time as much as the first time.

Then we played Persona 5 Royal. I’ll be doing another post about that possibly later today. With pictures, twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. We both battled the same enemy yesterday. And we were both successful.

Today, we’ll probably play some more Persona 5 Royal today. I’ll be heading back to work tomorrow. So it’ll be a nice relaxing day here I’ll be making wings, and yeah, it’ll be a nice day.

Coffee with real Irish cream today happy 2025!

Six o’clock, T.V. hour, don’t get caught in foreign tower

Hey hey mothaphukers! What’s shakin? We’re up, and it looks like it’s a chilly one out there this morning. The wind is blowing and everything.

I must have slept wrong last night, because I am of a certain age, and can barely turn my head this morning. It’s totes fun for sure. It’s not too bad side to side if I remember that my neck hurts and I do it slowly.

I’m off for the next two days. New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. It’ll be nice. Tonight we’re finna have some bison burgers, and fries. Yumtastic!

I have no idea if we’re gonna do anything today. And that’s fine if we don’t have a plan. It’s all good. Happy last day of 2024. More coffee!

Good morning my friends. Chaucer dropped yet another single this morning. That got The Beautiful One up and out of bed this morning. I’m pretty sure I followed shortly after that. But we’re up, and I believe that it’s Monday today.

Yesterday we didn’t do too much of anything. I played Persona 5, and Crystal baked a couple of cakes. It was my staff party last night, and one kid in particular loved it last year, and couldn’t stop talking about it. So we made it again, and we swapped deserts. I took home his lemon loaf, and he took home the pumpkin chocolate chip cake.

Good trade.

Crystal is in deep endgame now in Persona 5. She was playing when I got home last night. She almost completed it. But a last minute cheat (?) from the big boss, and it was game over. I have a feeling, she’ll complete it while I’m at work today. Yes, she’s that good.

Happy Monday y’all, have a cup of coffee on me my friends, y’all deserve it.
