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

Big Glo come through, shut shit down, I’m bringin’ hoes out

Chaucer has been singing his opera since about 3 am. Randomly. I was able to get mostly back to sleep, but my poor Crystal has been up since the beginning.

It’s gonna be a long day. For both of us.

It snowed in the night. It was mowing when I got off work last night. I drove down the middle of the highway. I’m going into work a little early to do snow removal, and to do a task the opener couldn’t do yesterday. Yay.

Last night about 15 minutes before we closed the phone rang. The other employee picked it up. English isn’t his first language, so I took the phone. The guy on the other end was saying that the roads were terrible, and would be arriving about 10 minutes after we closed. I told him if he arrived after hours we wouldn’t be able to help him. But we’ll need gas. Sorry man no one is going to be here. He tells me, and I quote: “you’re a fucking cocksucker, and I’m going to post online about this.”

I texted BossLady, so she’s aware of it and I moved on with my day. We were just cleaning our cars off at 10 after. No one. Oh well.

Back to work today should be home shortly after 6. Yay.

A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night

Well, it hasn’t started snowing yet. It was crazy at work yesterday. The town was in panic mode because a huge storm is coming. And while it has changed the forecast over the last couple of days. They’re saying about 5-9”. If we see all that, I’ll be surprised. But yeah, it was non stop in the store until probably about 8:15.

I expect the same today, until it starts to snow. Just looking at the forecast, we’re not even expecting snow until like 8 tonight. So we’ll see for sure.

Last night during our nightly hot cocoa, I filled my mug, and it cracked. There was a small crack but now it’s a large crack. I had to go back to my back up mug. I also have to remember to get more cocoa tonight.

Pippin is really nonchalantly is trying to get on my lap. Wait, she’s changed her mind and is making biscuits right beside Chaucer and I.

Happy Saturday y’all if you’re in the snow zone, please be safe.

Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy

I’m awake.

The snow is still there.

And, we’re expecting more.

Happy Friyay everyone! But with this week’s schedule, it doesn’t matter, as I’m working all weekend. And its supposed to snow all weekend. Less than a foot, I believe. But yeah snow

Chaucer just climbed on to my lap. He’s always nice and warm on my lap. So I have 1 kitten, and half a cup of coffee right now with, Crystal sitting beside me, what more could I want? Nothing. I’m pretty happy at this moment.

So yeah, it’s Friyay. Let’s make it the best Friyay possible.

My tight dress and red lips, I know you want it, I’m just living that life

Here I am, I didn’t forget about you, dear readers. I had to be up at the ass-crack of dawn. Before dawn. I was at work when dawn began to break.

It was a rare 5:30-1:30 shift for yours truly. Thankfully I didn’t have to be outside for long, because our part timer who only goes to do gas had to be out in the cold.

I took a chance and wore my steel toed Docs to work. I was worried that my feet would be killing me after 8 hours, but my feet feel fine after.

We’re expecting more snow this weekend. It’s my first week of being the “night manager”, so I was asking BossLady all sorts of questions regarding the snow. It’s business as usual. That’s all I needed to know.

But none of that matters right now. It’s for future Shawshank. Right now I have Chaucer on my lap, and I’m home relaxing. Seems like a good Thursday to me.
