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

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Good morning. After I unplugged the clock and shoved it into a drawer, Podrick mostly stopped. I just don’t know what he’s doing when my eyes are shut, and under two sleep masks. I managed to try and keep him off the dresser, and slept until 7:30.

And we’re under a flash freeze warning. It’s currently 38° outside, and that’s as warm as it’s going to get. The temperature will be dropping hourly now until I get home tonight. I’ll have to dress accordingly.

We’re getting closer and closer to Christmas, and tracking packages is starting to get a little testy. I have 2 packages coming. One hasn’t even left china yet. Technically. The website says it’s in the air right now. The other one has been processed out of CapitalCity as of this morning.

So, we’ll see.

I need me some coffee.

I’m told it’s Tuesday.

Here we are. I think it’s getting warmer out there. At least for a while. It was very warm in the bedroom. Or I was very warm at least. Plus I was all stuffed up, so I was having trouble breathing through my nose.

It’s Monday morning, and it’s dark out still. The weekend, went by, very quickly. But that’s how it is, when you have only 3/4 of it off. But this week coming up, I’ll have the whole weekend coming up. Plus, we’re on holiday hours for next week.

While it’s a little chilly, we’re supposed to get up to around 40° today and tomorrow. It’ll feel like spring, lol!

So happy Monday, greetings to the new week. Hopefully my packages make it here in time for Christmas. There’s a package at the post office right now, but that’s not a Christmas gift. It’s a bed wedge. Hopefully it’s good. Let’s get some more coffee.

Mondays, am I right?

It’s been a morning. A morning that Crystal took the brunt of it. I did my very best to ignore Podrick. Maybe I should have gotten up with Crystal. But she let me sleep in an extra hour, while she had to get up and deal with Pod.

Thank you, Crystal. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

So no major plans today busy laundry and Shady Acres later. I have to do laundry before we go. There’s some extra items in the pile due to the orange meatball not knowing his size.

Watched SNME last night. And contrary to everyone in the WWE subreddit, I enjoyed all the matches. Even John Cena’s. It was a good ending.

Yep it’s late. Deal with it.

I’ve been up on and off since about 4am. Full day of work, and then grocery shopping in SlightlyBiggerTown. We get home with everything, and the … orange … menace has stuck again.

I’m getting tired of his shenanigans.

He, and probably Pippin had something to do with this, knocked over a plant, into Crystal’s makeup case, and broke her makeup mirror. Dirt everywhere. I ate as fast as I could, and drove up to Shady Acres to grab their vacuum.

I just would love for him to be a normal quiet cat. If I could get him fixed again to calm him down more, I would. I know it’s not his fault, he just has an over abundance of energy that he doesn’t know what to do with.

Work wasn’t too bad. Just cold. About -40°C. I skipped the opening procedures so I could do all the outside work first, then went inside to start opening the store. It went normally.

Tonight, will be relaxation. It’s John Cena’s last wrestling match tonight on Saturday Nights Main Event. We’ll probably sniffle, and a tear or two will fall.

May your days be merry and bright

The day started with a bang.

Literally.

I’m warm, comfy, and snuggled up to The Beautiful One, when it happened. Mind you, I don’t know what time it is because, Podrick was in the bedroom earlier, and flipped my clock over. So I’m clueless on what time it is (as opposed to just being clueless).

I took my time getting dressed. I got up and padded into the kitchen, turning on the coffee pot. I opened the curtains, and turned on the TV. Then I turned my attention to getting dressed. As Crystal cleaned up what Podrick got into.

I have to remember to get zip ties tonight.

We’re all up now, and ready to greet the day. the coffee has been brewed, and the news is on. It’s freakin cold out there today. And it doesn’t look like it’s gonna warm up too much. Podrick, since all his humans are awake, is lounging on the shelf, just looking around.

I have to work this afternoon, but that’s what’s not important. When I get home, I’ll watch SmackDown. John Cena’s last match is tomorrow. I never watched him wrestle in his prime, but strangely enough, the WWE is very good at pulling at your heart strings. I’m excited, but know I’m an emotional bitch. I’ll probably tear up tomorrow night.

More coffee, please.

Yay, Friyay!
