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

Come pour some liquor on me, honey too

Hey everyone. I didn’t feel like posting this morning, so I waited until after work to post. I slept ok, but I’m wicked tired. It’ll probably be worse tomorrow when I have to be up at 4:30. This weeks schedule has been all over the place – closing, then mid, then early, then the weekend.

I’m of that age now where I sleep well, I think, but probably not, as I’m totally tired all the time. I remember when only a couple of hours would leave me fully rested. Now 9-10 hours don’t even really take the edge off anymore.

So yeah, I think I’ll just sign off and relax for 6 hours before I have to go to bed. Yay, 6 hours. I talked to my mom and she asked if I worked Saturday, and I said yes. So we won’t be going over to Shady Acres this weekend.

I don’t even know what day it is.

Good morning my friends. It’s a new work week. Well, yesterday was the start of the new work week, but it was a bonus day, as I’ll be working on Saturday (yay). It’s all good.

The coffee has been brewed, and everyone’s favourite alarm went off two minutes before the actual alarm went off. Yep, Chaucer got a little sick on the floor at the end of the bed.

After that, it was time to get up.

It’s a gray morning here. It was raining when we went to sleep last night. I don’t think it rained too much in the night. The roads are mostly dry. It could’ve been storming and raging all night, I didn’t hear a thing.

Soon I’ll get dressed and ready for work. I gotta find something to eat as well, but that’ll be a little later on this morning. I don’t want to eat too early.

All is right in our little world. Chaucer just climbed up on lap. It’s snuggle time.

Every night we have to battle with the girls to stop them from taking off all of their clothings so who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!

It’s bright and sunny out there, and it looks like the wind has finally slowed down to a breeze. But the birds are chirping, and there’s not a cloud in the sky.

The last two days, I’ve slept in. I shut the alarm off, and just let it happen. And I’ve been getting up around 8, so I’ve been getting to sleep in. It’s been really nice.

But back to work to work tomorrow. Closing shift. I’ll be the adult in the room for the evening. Also I’ll be doing the same thing next Saturday as well. It is what it is. But before all that can happen, I’ll be having brunch. Mmmm bacon and eggs.

Other than that, I don’t plan on leaving the house or even getting dressed. I’ll be just in my jogging pants. I don’t plan on doing too much of anything today.

I believe that I need more coffee. Happy Monday!

Good sunny morning. It’s breezy out there, but bright and sunny. There were big storms that came through here last night, or early this morning. The power surged, and that led to the northern lights light that I have in the bedroom to turn on, wake us up, and leave us totally confused.

The thunder and the booms woke us up, but after we knew what they were put us back to sleep just a quickly as they woke us up. It’s been a while since I’ve fallen asleep with the help of a storm. I don’t know if the storm was lighting up the room or if it was just the boom boom boom.

Either way, I passed right out.

The yard sale went pretty good I believe. Mom sold a lot of her stuff, and each item she sold had a story behind it. We did the yard sale for her so, I’m glad that she did very well. The stuff to haul back was a fraction of what I hauled down from their place.

We didn’t do too badly either. I sold some car wash tokens, and Crystal sold some of her genie pants. We sold other misc. items. It was a good couple of hours as well. We both got slightly burned from the sun, but it was worth it. We did good, and we were packed up probably before 1. I’m sure my mom slept like a rock last night.

Today is a pretty lazy day. I got chores to do, then we’re heading out to the restaurant, for Father’s Day. I think this is the first time that my dad will be going out for dinner since he got sick. The cook is very excited to see him.

Happy Sunday everyone. Happy Father’s Day out there to anyone that reads this.
