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

My shit may not be age-appropriate, but I will hit an 8-year-old in the face with a participation trophy

Hey hey from sun baked TinyTown. The entire province is under a heat warning, and a fire ban as well. People are complaining about the heat, while I’m living it. It’s so nice.

Work was wok, just as slow as it was yesterday. But we got stuff done. After work, I came home and took a nap. I want to be able to stay up just a little bit more tonight, as tomorrow is a day off for me. It’ll be a busy day tomorrow. Chores, grocery shopping, and date night rolled all into one action packed day.

So tonight, we’ll just relax. I’m thinking perhaps getting subway, so I have a really good lunch for work on Saturday. We’ll see. I’ll have to talk it over with Crystal tomorrow.

But today, it’s just a nice day to hang out. President Biden is having a news conference in about an hour, so we’ll probably watch that.

Burgers for dinner tonight!

I see you drivin, sportscar, aint hittin the throttle and I be down, and do a hundred, top down and goggles

“… least it’s a dry heat.”

It’s a warm one out there. Pretty much the lower half of the province is in a heat advisory. I was outside of the store more than I was in it today. Since I’m now certified to fill propane, that’s what I did, a few times today. I think I filled 7or 8 tanks today.

It’s really nice out there. Lower 80s so it’s not too hot out. But according to some locals, it’s so very hot out. I found it very comfortable, even though I was wearing jeans.

I slept a lot better last night. Hopefully we’ll both sleep well tonight. Crystal was up before my alarm, and got up. She thinks that it disrupts my morning routine when she gets up at 4:30 with me. It totally doesn’t. Though I wish she’d still be asleep, I love having her up with me.

That’s about it. Now just to figure out what’s for dinner. Either we stand over the stove or we have the oven going. Decisions.

Answer: hot dogs!

Two steppin’ on the table, she don’t need a dancefloor, oh my, good Lord

So I don’t know how long this post will be. I think I only got about 3, maybe 4 hours of sleep. I was high as balls when I got into bed. Then, boom, I was sober, and my mind wouldn’t shut up. It was literally like flipping through tv channels. I couldn’t stop.

The only thing that I managed to figure out, was what I was going to eat at work. And, I even had a back up, in case what I wanted was sold out. The only thing I didn’t do was, crumble up some Doritos on top. I thought that might be a little too decadent.

So now I’m on the couch. I’m refusing to take a nap. I will sleep soundly tonight. Goddamn it, I will sleep like a little fat baby.

In other news, it’s White People Taco Night 🎶

I’ve been sent to spread the message God blessed Texas

It’s warm. It’s warm in the bedroom. It’s warm outside as well summer has arrived! The warmth is a little more difficult when you’re trying to sleep. But we made it through.

I’m sure there will be people complaining about the heat today. That’s ok. We listened to them complain about the cooler weather, and the rain as well. It’s summer time! Let’s enjoy it!

Because,

Winter is coming.

Yesterday was a nice day. We went out to the farmers market, and had a walk around for a little while. Nothing caught our eyes, so we went back home. I cooked up a nice brunch, and we sat stuffed for a little while.

We were watching a National Geographic, and we had an unspoken conversation. I was trying my hardest to stay awake. Crystal got up and grabbed a pillow. I invited her to the bedroom to nap. I can’t nap on the couch, and she can’t nap in the bedroom.

After we got up from our nap, we popped over to Shady Acres for dinner. After dinner, we came back and fed the kitties. I shaved the sides of Crystal’s hair, and then:

If I were to go to the ice cream place, what would you want?

I grabbed her what she wanted, and with what I wanted, we had a feast of ice cream.

It was a pretty great day, if you ask me.
