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

Yo yo. I’m here, and you better be ready for me. So what should we talk about today? Hmmm. Great question. I have no freakin idea. I was up wicked early, and now I’m home from work. I’m tired, but not tired enough to take a nap. Besides, it’s too late now.

Work was a little busier today. But not by much. We had a new employee training today, so was on the register a little more, then as he was training, I was outside a little bit. when it was time to leave, I made my purchase, and then skedaddled as quickly as I could.

It started out gray, then the sun came out to play for a little bit. And now we’re under yet another thunderstorm watch. It truly feels like spring outside. Hopefully, it becomes summer time soon.

Tonight, we’re having hot dogs for dinner. I remembered that we really need to use the hot dog buns before they get stale/moldy. So that’s exciting, huh?

Perhaps too exciting.

Peace out, bitches!

Don’t act like you ain’t help me pull that bottle off the shelf

When I went down for my nap. It wasn’t as bright as this. It was gray, with just the hints of the sun coming out. The only thing that’s been consistent, is the wind.

It’s always the wind.

After a weekend of being able to sleep in, when the alarm went off this morning, a zombie climbed out of bed. A zombie turned on the coffee pot, and got dressed. When I made the coffee at work, I put out a pot of regular roast, and a pot of regular roast labeled as dark roast.

Oops.

Work was wicked slow. I knew it was gonna be a little slow, but I didn’t think it would be that slow. We went just over an hour without one single customer. Wow! So when second shift came in, I walked. I needed a nap.

That’s what we call a full circle moment.

I’ll see myself out. Happy Monday Tuesday and all that other happy horseshit.

Bonne fête du Canada!

Good morning! It’s supposed to be gray, and rainy out there. Happily, right now, it’s bright and sunny. We just had a squirrel digging in a flower pot.

I don’t think I really have too much to say. Yesterday, we didn’t do anything extra. It was just chore day. I started it a little late, because I slept in a little. I slept in a little this morning too.

Not too much planned for today. We weren’t prepared for a nice day. I have to complete my propane book, as I might have a test tomorrow. I do have to bake a cake. For what? You may ask.

Just because.

Ok, Ima take off. I need more coffee and allergy pills. Happy Canada Day!

I tell them it’s just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes

Good morning everyone. It’s bright ass, and sunny out there in the real world. Looks like just a slight breeze as well. It looks like it’ll be a nice day out there. Both kitties are sitting in the back door taking in the sun and watching all that they own. You see everywhere the sun can reach, they own that. They think at least lol.

Starting at 9am yesterday, I was at Shady Acres, working on the Hot Mess Express. Over the course 8/9 hours we replaced all the brake pads, and rotors, and I changed the oil. The weather was perfect for outside car repair. If my dad is half as sore as I am this morning. I feel terrible for him. He was supposed to instruct me on the repairs. I think he’s missed working on a car, I would take everything apart, and he would replace the parts, then I would put everything back together. Repeat 4 times.

Today, I’ll be working just a little slower on the chores. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this stiff and sore. But it’s a good stiff and sore. lol. Soon I’ll start up the ol chores, but right now, I’m just going to enjoy the coffee, and the closeness to Crystal ❤️

Viva la Weekend!
