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

A gin & tonic sounds might mighty good to me

Hello party peoples. It’s Tuesday, and it’s after 1pm, so you know what that means. An inconsequential update from yours truly. So yeah, hold on. You’ve paid for the whole seat, but you’ll only need half!

Wow, that’s a build up, if you ask me.

Don’t get your hopes up.

It’s all down hill from here.

So yeah, went to work this morning. The alarm woke me up, because I remembered to actually turn it on. It scared the crap out of me. I slipped out of bed with the face of a dog with a kong toy. I tumbled out of bed, and stumbled to the kitchen, where I ripped open the curtains.

Darkness.

What the hell? Where’s the sun and day light. I had to look at my phone to see that now, the sun doesn’t rise until after 5. Where has the summer gone?

It was Silent Hill outside, it was so froggy. That took hours to burn off.

Told ya it was all down hill now.

Now I’m home. I brought a frozen pizza for dinner, and milk and cereal for a snack to night, and for breakfasts for the mornings.

Chaucer has found his way up on to my lap, as it’s about 10-15 degrees cooler today. Pippin is in her nest on the bed. Again, it’s cooler. I gave her loves when I got home. The beautiful one is playing her monster game. Her character sounds like JoJo Siwa. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it.

Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King

Well, the day started late. Yesterday, I was smart. I reset the alarm clock, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it when I fell into bed.

I forgot to turn it on.

I woke up at 4:20, and said, great! I have 10 more minutes of sleep.

The next time I woke up, it was 4:50.

So, at least I wasn’t late for work.

I bought chicken nuggets for dinner tonight. So we’re excited for that.

But this is gonna be it for the post today, I don’t have anything left to update y’all. So I’m outie 9000.

Boom!

Hang my head drown my fear till you all just disappear

Good morning, my friends. It’s hazy, hot, and humid. We slept in a little bit. Well, I slept in a little bit. It’ll be the last time for a week, cause I have opening shifts all next week. So the next time the alarm goes off, it’ll be at 4:30 in the morning. So I treated myself, and shut off the alarm for the weekend.

We didn’t do a whole lot yesterday. Looked at an “everything must go sale”. I played with a cat with a stumpy tail. There wasn’t anything that really jumped out at us. From there, just stopped at the tiny grocery for supplies for lunch, and then it was back home.

We just watched some tv and I actually played some video games. No Man’s Sky got an update – but it hasn’t filtered down to the Switch yet, so I fired up Tears of the Kingdom, where I went cave diving for a couple of hours, and then passed the controller to Crystal, so she could play for a little while.

We had a glorious bacon cheeseburger and fries for dinner. We just relaxed and were warm. We went to bed warm as well. Sometime in the night, I got up and used the bathroom. I took off my shirt and climbed under the top blanket, and went back to sleep.

Chaucer cosplayed as a DJ, and I got up and moved him from the floor beside the bed out to the hallway so he could perform the drop, and I was out again.

Now here we are; under an air advisory. It’s chore day. I’ll start in a few. Least the living room fan is drawing in some cool air right now. Happy Sunday y’all!

‘Cause that’s what I’ll have to do to keep me away from you

I got to sleep in a little. Crystal was up early, because Chaucer wanted to throw up under the bed directly under her head. I think I heard it, but I’m pretty sure I fell back asleep.

We’re in the warm part of the year. You see there’s a few different conversations on the plains – lots of snow last night. Wow it’s windy. Damn cold out there. Oh mah gawd, it’s hot out there today. We need the rain. We hear them all at work.

Yep, another hot one today. I think we’re expecting to hit around 84° today. Same as yesterday. Then it slowly goes down degree by degree for a couple days. then it’ll shoot up. Everyone at work is in awe that I’m just able to sit outside in the sun and heat. I’m finally acclimatized to here, and I have years of experience with humidity. We don’t get a lot here.

We really have no plans for the day. Later, we’ll talk about what we want for dinner. So I may or may not go and grab a pizza or something. We’ll see what we have in the freezer. But for right now it’s not too bad. Just have to turn on the living room fan.
