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

I LOVE THE SMELL OF CAPITALISM IN THE MORNING.

Good Saturday morning everyone. It’s time to get up and have that cup of coffee. Snuggle that cat, and, of course, wake up! That’s right it’s the day for the town wide yard sale bitches. The event starts in 3 hours.

In a little bit, after I get dressed, I’ll be popping up to Shady Acres to load up my mom’s truck, and unload it all over my front/side yard. We’ll also be unloading a bunch’s of stuff here.

Busy, busy.

But first, coffee.

I think I slept like the dead. I passed right out last night. That was a good thing. I was wicked sleepy, and almost forced myself to stay awake.

But the birds are singing, and so far the sun is shining. It seems really nice outside.

This was from a couple of days ago. I think today is 1402 posts in a row. That’s pretty impressive if you ask me. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything 1402 times. Bow down, mortals!

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember a Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow

Fuck yeah it’s Friyay! It’s Friyay, and I need a nap. We’re just back from SlightlyBiggerTown. We went for groceries, and weed. I was out, and was digging into Crystal’s stash. It was time. We got more carts, and another bag o’ weed.

Tomorrow is the town wide garage sale. I’ll be up early, to get over to Shady Acres to load up my mom’s truck, and bring it all back here to put out on our lawn. We have some stuff, but my mom has way more. It might be a two tripper.

We’ll see.

I was out with a customer today and happened to see a sticker on the back window of his truck. I was flabbergasted. I was completely out of flabbers. I had to sneak around to take a picture.

I actually have no words for this.

Well my baby and me went out late Saturday night

Another work day done. It’s been slow this week. I think our biggest rush was 3 or 4 people. At once. I know, crazy right. We’re getting a touch screen for our POS, tomorrow. I told BossLady that, that’s when everyone is going to want to come and buy stuff. She agreed.

Crystal is playing her video game, and is currently fighting some sort of mole-beast-monster, or something like that. I think she’s winning, but I’m not too sure.

It’s a gray day out there, and it’s been threatening to rain all day. It was starting to get serious about it on the drive home. Hopefully it’ll hold off, because it’s Thursday, and I remembered that the second hand store is open today. So maybe after Crystal finishes killing the mole-beast-monster, we’ll check out what they got.

I’m gonna try and force myself not to nap this afternoon. Or maybe I’ll nap, and we’ll go to the second hand store after. Who knows!

I feel magic when I touch your dress silk and satin, leather and lace

*yawn* Sup bitches, it’s ya boy Shawshank. I’m tired, and we’re under a thunderstorm watch, as well as a tornado watch.

Good times.

Man, 4:30 comes early in the morning. That’s the only thing I don’t like about first shift. Getting up. But I got up, and survived the work day. It was another slow day, but we did some projects in and around the store. Before we knew it, the grocery delivery made it to the store, and was put away before second shift got in.

The view at 4:30 in the morning

As I was driving to Shady Acres, the radio cut out, and my phone scared the shit out of me – tornado warning for the area. Great!

RESPECT THE POLYGON.

So I make it to Shady Acres, and with helped with replacing the wax ring for the main toilet in the house. Took about a half hour or so, and I walked away feeling confident that I could probably do it by myself, if needed.

Now, I’m back at the Flat, with my dirty toilet clothes in the wash. Crystal is playing her video game.

It’s too late to take a nap.
