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

No-one knows who she is or what her name is

It was a weird sleep the whole night. I feel rested, but I was up multiple times, and chasing the Podrick. Finally, at his normal time, he jumped up on my nightstand. But the time I flailed enough, he had run out of the room. Perfect! I closed the door behind him, and crawled back into bed.

But it’s a new day, and my last day off until Monday. Yeah that’s a long way away if you ask me. It’s my first 5 shift week in months. The last time she gave me a 5 shift week, I’m pretty sure it ended up like this as well. She’s not the greatest at scheduling. But it’s serviceable. So I’ll enjoy this day.

But first coffee.

Then, wrestling.

Possibly the second hand store. Maybe we’ll find a treasure.

Sail away on the Block Island Ferry. Take a trip back to care-free times. Leave today, Block Island awaits you. Just leave your worries behind. Come with me to Block Island

Good morning party people! It’s a bright and sunny day out in the work north of the wall. Winter is coming, but today it doesn’t seem that bad. It looks like it’s gonna be a really nice day to be outside.

I didn’t sleep all that great last night. I don’t think I was high enough. I mean I was mostly there. But little Podrick was loud last night. He was in. Beast mode. I had taken him off my nightstand twice. He was crawling in the toilet organizer, and knocking shit down. I rescued a makeup brush from him. I ended up closing the bedroom door, locking him out of the bedroom.

He woke us up this morning (when it was time to get up), by knocking over a brick. So it was time to get up, and greet the day. I fed them, as I turned the coffee pot on.

Sunday was a pretty nice day off. I did the laundry, and pretty much ignored the rest of the chores. I should really stop being lazy, and get back on the cleaning track again. It literally takes 15 minutes, if I did all the chores at once. I’m just lazy. I have to stop being lazy.

Back to work this afternoon. Then a day off for Tuesday. Then a long block of shifts. After tomorrow, my next day off is a week from today. So I’m really going to have to enjoy tomorrow’s relaxation.

But for right now, coffee! Happy Monday everyone!

Been working so hard I’m punching my card

We were awoken to the sound of something falling to the ground. It’s a sound I’m not used to hearing. Podrick, the clueless himbo actually managed to knock over a brick. One basically fell off the other.

So that was a sound.

It was actually sunny here yesterday, and it was sunny all afternoon! I know! And it’s bright and sunny this morning too. Pippin was very happy that I opened the door this morning. And speaking of Pippin, it was her birthday yesterday. I knew it was yesterday, as I had like 2 reminders. I just forgot to post about it.

I believe she’s 4 years old now. She got a special turkey dinner last night. She got lots of loves from the both of us. I gave her lots of snuggles before heading off to work, and then Crystal took over the loves. She gave Pippin her birthday dinner. Pippin is currently standing her ground in the back table. It’s sunny and warm there, she’ll fight to stay.

Action packed day. I’ll be starting laundry soon. I have to finish Wrestlepalooza, and then we’re heading over to Shady Acres. But before that, I just have to get gas. I forgot yesterday, and the warning popped up when I started it last night. 80k to empty.

lol

She bitched so much, she drove me nuts

Good morning everyone! It’s a bright and sunny day here in TinyTown. I slept like the dead. I’m pretty sure I didn’t move all night. And Podrick was good, and didn’t do anything to be kicked out this morning. I think that’s the first time in a while that the bedroom door has stayed open all morning.

Yesterday was actually very busy for a couple of hours. We got up and did the normal getting up things. And then after getting up, we went out to do things. Yes, in the same day, we got up, then we went out and did things. We got a couple of toys for the cats, and I explained my plan for three boxes in the back seat. We did the grocery thing, and a couple more stores.

As you can see, Pippin is sitting on the new cathouse. Next week, I’ll see if I can find another thick box or two, and we’ll add on to it. You can also see that we introduced them to bubbles. I found a terribly expensive bottle of it, and didn’t even notice that they are “extra strong” bubbles. There’s still a bubble, still bubbling on the entertainment stand.

My package that I ordered last week finally came in. So I opened it and showed Crystal her items – some that she wanted, some that I ordered for her. I’m sure she’ll post about them, over on hers. I got a giant 40oz knock of Stanley cup or jug. Whatever you want to call it. And a pretty awesome shirt.

Just like the one winged dove sings a song, sounds like she’s singin’

Good morning everyone! Welcome to Friyay! It’s another gray day out here in the flat lands. Winter is coming. But it looks like a good day to go for a drive to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. We’ll do that a little later. Now is the time for coffee and contemplation. the coffee has been brewed and is slowly being consumed. The kittens are actually (for right now) playing nice with each other. I assume that they’re on the table looking out the back door.

Fall is quickly coming to TinyTown. I’m not impressed. I wore layer almost all summer, and now I’m doubling down with double socks. Ugh. I am really trying to wear my Docs more. Like I told my coworker yesterday, “I’m Gen X, I might as well start dressing the part, huh?” They weight just a little more than my Adidas. Plus they have steel toes, which add some weight. My dogs were barking a little bit last night.

Both of us have ordered items and are awaiting our packages. We’ve been updating each other on when they should arrive. According to CanadaPost, they should either have been here two days ago, or should arrive sometime in early 2028. CanadaPost is like the wild West. One of Crystal’s arrived in the Queen City at like 4:15 this morning, but was processed out 15 minutes earlier.

Fuck the space-time continuum, I guess right?

More coffee please!
