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

It’s a given LA law, someone’s faster on the draw

I’m still trying to focus my eyes. I was dead asleep, then just awake. So the old eyes are having some trouble focussing. The kitties have been fed, and the back door is open for them to survey their king and queendoms.

I was out at a drop of a hat last night. At one point in the night, I felt a kitty climb up and snuggle behind my knees. Then my mind said to itself, don’t don’t don’t move, the cat will get up and never snuggle you again. So please, don’t move. Then I fell back to sleep.

But we’re up, and the sun is mostly shining. The basic plan today, is to do my chores quickly, I did the laundry yesterday, have brunch, and then head out to a farmers market for the rest of the morning. Should be a fun morning. Well just have to be a part of the crowd lol. Maybe we’ll see something that catches our eye.

I managed to sleep in until 7:30. That’s pretty good, if you ask me. It’s bright and sunny this morning. *checks weather app* it says that the sun will be eaten by clouds after 9 this morning, and it’ll just be cloudy all day.

The family BBQ at the old folks home was pretty nice. The food was very good, and they had a bouncy castle. Gramma was in “a bit of a mood”, and was pretty quiet all the time we were there.

After the BBQ, we went back to the flat for a little while, and then I was off to work. Work wasn’t too bad. Mostly steady for the evening, but got quiet closer to the end. It was totes manageable, and we were out right on time.

That brings us to today. I don’t have any plans for the day. According to the town newsletter, there’s the weekly farmers market happening tomorrow. Maybe we’ll check it out. We went once last year, and had some fun just looking around. If anything, it’s something different to do. I don’t know, I’ll talk to the great Crystal about it later.

Yep, it’s the weekend.

Hey you always on the run, gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun

Holy shit, a post at the normal time? What the heck is going on? Welp it’s the family BBQ over at the old folks home, so I requested a closing shift today so I could attend. That’ll be in a couple of hours.

Coffee has been brewed and is currently being consumed. The back door is open, and the kitties are surveying their domains. Chaucer has been given his breakfast, and second breakfast. Pippin is totally enjoying the sun from her little table.

It’s so nice that the sun is shining this morning. I don’t think it’s supposed to last. I think the clouds are supposed to come in later. But right now, it’s bright and sunny.

So I’m gonna go. I don’t have a lot to pass on to y’all, as I only posted just a few hours ago. So, have a great Friyay, and an even better weekend!

My memory is muddy, what’s this river that I’m in?

Good afternoon, here I am. I didn’t forget to post, I napped, and then we watched some saved YouTube shorts. That’s right, I do what I want. Because, it’s the 4th of July.

It’s a motherfucking freedom holiday.

Here, it’s Thursday.

Work is wicked slow. We have someone training, so it’s difficult, when you have to walk a fine line of doing your job, yet letting the NewGuy learn how to do it.

I get to sleep in tomorrow. We have a family lunch at the nursing home with my gramma tomorrow, then it’s off to work. That should be fun. I’ll get a hot dog, and possibly a hamburger, and some sides. And I get to hang out for a little bit with my gramma. I’ll have to choose a good shirt for tomorrow.

Burgers for dinner tonight. Fuck yeah.
