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

It’s all about the money, money

Well, the alarm went off, and I had absolutely no idea how to see, and how to take off my sleep mask. I was worried that I would wake up Crystal, but I fumbled enough, and shit the alarm off.

It’s been a long week today. Before 10am I’m on the phone with RCMP dispatch. The local loser came in and filled up his truck. Then its debit card wouldn’t work. He called the bank and they said they could come right down and sort it out. Both me and TismBoy told him thrice – if he took his truck off the property, we’d be calling the police. He said go a head and call the police. So that’s what I did. He came back and paid. Within minutes the police called for more info, so I told them he came back and paid. They asked if I caught a name, I told them. They knew him, and asked if he was driving his truck. I answered in the affirmative, and that was that.

One more shift, and BossLady is back. Thank the gods.

I’m tired. I might sleep. I haven’t decided yet.

It’s been a long week today.

Sometimes you’re drivin’, sometimes you’re stallin ‘sometimes you’re flyin’, sometimes you’re fallin’ but there’s still beauty in the nosedive

Good morning everyone. Pippin was a menace last night and this morning. Making noise and running all over the place, playing with things that she should be playing with. She made Crystal get up in the night, and this morning to try to get her to stop.

Spoiler alert: she really didn’t.

So we’re up, and slowly waking up. I forgot to take my allergy meds last night, so I couldn’t breathe at all last night/this morning. I wouldn’t have blamed Crystal if she just would’ve put a pillow over my face until I stopped snoring. Wouldn’t have blamed her if she did.

Oh look, now she’s settling down to take a nap. She could’ve done this around midnight last night. She’s a character for sure. But not very demure, not very mindful. Cutesy, yes. Mindful, no.

It’s a bonus day this morning. It’s Labour Day, so I have the day off. I have to wash the bathroom rug, because one of the cats decided to shit on it sometime in the night. I’m thinking that I’ll strip the bed, and actually fill up the washing machine.

So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night

Good sunny morning to all my minions that are out there! Big shout out to everyone that has a cup of coffee right now! Big ol coffee cup salute to the people out there, where ever you are, that are gonna do laundry this morning!

Laundry gang for life!

Coffee gang for life!

Other than that, it’s pretty silent out on the streets of TinyTown today. It’s a long weekend, and it’s a Sunday. It’s still a little weird to have a town so quiet, especially in the day time. It’s trippy when it’s pitch black out at night. During the day, sometimes, I imagine in my mind that there’s been an apocalypse , and we’re the last people alive. Then we go and loot and sit on the floor of the grocery store drinking room temperature White Claws.

But before all that, we gotta do some laundry and cleaning chores. Should be fun. Before we go to Shady Acres, we’ll prep for Toaster2 to come out and do some cleaning while we’re gone.

I’ll ask polite if the devil needs a ride ‘cause the angel on my right ain’t hanging out with me tonight

I now have 2 days off of work! Woohoo! I slept ok last night. Only up a couple of times, but managed to fall back to sleep pretty quickly. I’m drained now, but I refuse to take a nap. So we’ll go to bed at the normal time and it’ll be ok.

The question is: laundry today or tomorrow morning? It’s a tough one. I dunno yet.

Work was a lot busier this Saturday, than last week. I think people are beginning to understand that we’re open earlier now, which is nice. And even though the shift is one our less than the weekend day morning shift, it seems to go by a lot faster. I looked up, and it was already 11.
