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

We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled

I made it to work on time, and proceeded to do all the opening stuff related to opening a retail establishment. I got that done, and one or two bonus tasks, and then we were open. It was slow at the beginning, but slowly, it picked up.

Thankfully, the opening shift is only 7 hours. When I was time to leave, I drove to my parents place and switched vehicles. I picked up Crystal, and we were off to SlightlyBiggerTown for much needed supplies. Since we both didn’t have lunch we grabbed Subway to go. And go we did. Back at the house I again switched vehicles, and came home to eat.

After good time, I regaled Crystal with some YouTube Shorts, and now I just finished feeding the cats. Pippin beat Chaucer to my lap. So he’s a little put out.

No to relax. Happy Saturday, yo.

I’ve been gone for a month, I’ve been drunk since I left

I’m awake, but I didn’t want to get out of the bed. The bed was so comfortable and so toasty warm. But alas, earwax – I’m up and dressed. I’m not liking it at all.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. Until it started to rain. So with cooler weather, wind, and then a smattering of rain. It was very chilly out there last night. But we made it though, and I got home just in time to get some hot chocolate.

Chaucer noticed that I didn’t have a cat on my lap, so he came from across the room, full old man speed, walks across Crystal to get to me. He’s very proud of himself this morning.

Two more shifts, and I’ll have a day and a half off. Woohoo! Then it’ll be back to the grind. It is what it is. I’m just sad that because of my work schedule, we haven’t had a date night in so very long. That just isn’t right. I want a Friday off so we can have a date night.

Cream puffs and bourbon and the music was louder

Good morning, my friends. I couldn’t even tell you what day it is. With the long weekend, and then two days off right after, the week is a blur. If I had to guess, with all the markers that I’ve seen, it’s probably Thursday.

The rooms is a little chilly, but the coffee is totes hot. I have Pippin on my lap, and a slightly annoyed Chaucer, who really wanted to get on my lap. He’s staring at her right now, and Pippin just doesn’t care.

Other than that, I don’t have too much to add. It was a pretty ok day at work yesterday. Busy, which is good. The day went pretty quickly. So that was a good thing for sure! Happy Thursday y’all!

She just wanna roll and I don’t mind it, yeah

Didn’t want to get up out of bed this morning. It was the perfect temperature for snuggling, and cuddling. But, I got out of bed. Yep, it’s time to start the day. I’m closing for 99% of the week, which isn’t too bad. I can’t really complain, so yeah I’m up, so let’s start the day!

Thankfully, starting the day is a slow relaxed process when i close. I can’t even remember if I’m the adult tonight or if I’m the non-adult. It doesn’t matter. Let’s get it done!

Yesterday was an actual sloth day. I only left the house once, and it wasn’t by choice, but it had to get done. My parents are trying new wood pellets for their wood stove. I’m the lucky one that takes them from the truck to the basement. That’s what I did yesterday morning.

Other than that, I didn’t do shit. Early afternoon came and I felt my shoulder slump, and for the first time in a while, I was totes relaxed. I slept like the dead last night.

It’s cool enough for the heater to come on. I believe that it’s set at 65°. So that means it’s a little chilly this morning.

It’s all good, I think I need some more coffee. Happy Monday, no. Happy Tuesday. Fuck that’s not right either. Geez, happy Wednesday everyone!
