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

Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long

I’m awake.

Chaucer woke us up early. And just cried and cried. It’s my fault because I got up at 4:30 yesterday morning. It’ll be a long weekend as I’m up early tomorrow, and not so early Sunday, but I’ll be up and out earlier than normal this weekend.

But we’re up and have coffee. And of course Chaucer is already sleeping in between us. He’s happy now that we’re awake. His world is complete, and he’ll be more than happy to sleep all day now.

I don’t have a whole lot planned for the day. We were going to go shopping today m, but with the crappy weather a couple days ago, we’ll probably head out tomorrow after work. But I will be popping out to work to pick up the stuff I usually go, and to get some gas.

I’ll figure out dinner later.

Maybe if Crystal gets Subway, I’ll get dinner tonight. We’ll figure it out.

I simply must go baby, it’s cold outside

So I wake up at 3am. I think to myself if I can sleep until 4:15, I’ll get up and get ready for work. The next thing I know the alarm is going off. For the first time in months, the alarm has woken me up.

It’s cold outside.

And very windy.

BossLady changed the schedule for today. Anticipating the bad weather, and said she’d probably be in after the sun rose. she changed me from 8-4 to 5:30-1:30. So that’s the reason why I was up so early. But now I’m done for the day, and have a day and a half off.

Yesterday was a nice day of sloth. I play a little bit of Persona 5 Royal, and then popped over to the post office to pick up my package. Crystal started to play Persona, so I watched her beat the game. And I finally got to watch the whole ending. It’s a good ending, but as far as I’ve read, not the true ending. I’m working towards that ending now.

I don’t plan on doing too much for the rest of the day. Maybe we’ll go to SlightlyBiggerTown tomorrow, or maybe after work Saturday afternoon. The weather and the roads will dictate that.

He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen. I took it home, washed it off

Good morning my snowy friends. Yeppers, it’s snowing out there, just like they said it would be. It looks like we’re going to get a little less that forecasted, and shortly, it’ll stop for a few hours. Then it’ll start up again.

Last night shift was difficult. I spent a good 2.5 – 3 hours outside on a long rush of people. I was cold. But yes, I’m dressed correctly for being outside for 5-10 minutes at a time, not 3 hours. So it was a long cold evening. We were both very happy when it was time to finally close. The morning shift managed to handle 67 customers from 6-1:15. From 1:15 to 9pm we handled over 150 customers. There were two of us, and the morning shift had 3 people. So yeah, there’s a bit of a balance issue.

Meh.

But today I have a day off. That’s nice, because that’s to the snow and the expected winds tomorrow, I’m opening the store instead of being the mid shift guy. So I’ll be getting up sometime in the night to open the store. Woot woot.

Good times. In other news, it doesn’t look that bad out there so if my package comes in today, I may go and pick it up. We’ll see.

Whoopsie, made a oopsie 100,000 dollar oops made me loopy

Good morning y’all. How was your evening?

Let me tell you about The Beautiful One’s evening. They say a picture is work a 1000 words. Sit back and enjoy this visual novel.

And Phil the handy man came over and shut all the water off in The Flat because, at 8:30 in the evening. Pretty awesome, huh?

Good times.

The handyman is back this morning and just turned the water on for us to be able to flush the toilet. Hopefully, I’ll be able to take a shower this morning. But I’m not too worried about it.

Thankfully, I made coffee as I was making lunch, so we have go-go juice this morning.
