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

We headin’ to the dive bar we always thought was nice

Podrick is doing so good. I just need him to continue being so good, but add another 40 minutes. We’re getting closer to when I actually want to get up. And, I would really like it, if I wasn’t the main through-fare to get anywhere in the bedroom. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had paw sized bruises.

But he’s getting better. Really, getting better. He’s not a bad kitty, just young, probably a little feral. He’s slowly getting into our groove.

But yeah. I would like to fall asleep easy at night, not have to get up multiple times in the night. Then just the ability to sleep in until 7. Would I like it to be 8? Fuck yes I do. But it’ll never happen. I guess I’m lucky that I can make it until 6:15.

I think this is it. I’m gonna suck back some coffee, and then probably hop in the shower. Open to close today. Just an hour and a few minutes longer that yesterday, but it feels totally different today.

I need more coffee. Happy Sunday y’all.

So why not be where the lights are shining on me

I did not fall asleep easy. Nor did I stay asleep well. I think it took about an hour and a half to 3 hours to fall asleep. Then up around 3 to see what time it was. Then, 4:30. Relief hit me. Another half hour before the alarm goes off. I fell asleep again.

The alarm scared the shit out of me a half hour later.

Up and moving towards work. I got everything I needed to be done before we opened. Out of boredom, I opened 4 minutes early. The first customer came in 2 hours later. TinyTown was deep asleep.

Over the course of the next 7 hours, it didn’t get that much busier. That means tomorrow’s gonna be a long, long day. At this point, I just want the weekend to be over. Hopefully, Sunday will go as quickly as the last couple of night shifts have gone.

I’m going to finish the episode of ER that Crystal is watching, then I’m gonna watch last nights SMACKDOWN! should be a good afternoon

Appetizers for dinner tonight. We gotta celebrate Team Canada’s Women’s Hockey team for beating the Germans 5-1. Canada heads to the semi-finals.

And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Good morning my friends. The Podrick wasn’t too bad this morning. I heard some banging, but not a lot, so I reset Sleep Daddy, and tried to sleep. I think I did … mostly. But I’m kinda stuffed up. But I think I managed to doze. When I got up, I looked at the time, and The Beautiful One /w Podrick let me sleep in a little.

Won’t be able to sleep in tomorrow. In fact, I have to set my alarm for tomorrow. There. All set. 5am. I’m working all weekend. Due to how the schedules have been thrown together, this is my first full weekend in just about a month.

I think the calming “glade plug-in” is working pretty good. We watched Pippin jump up on the stand in front of the window. She looked out of it for a while, then she moved closer to a sleeping Podrick. The. A little closer, and she started to clean him. Then after a little while, she just curled up as the little spoon, and went to sleep.

I just remembered that I have a doctor’s appointment today. I mean I know I have one, it’s been on the calendar for a month. I look at it every day. Course, when you never really know what day it is, everything’s a surprise.

Let’s get the day started, shall we?

Brenda, put your bra on, there’s trouble next door, Marvin baby mama, put that whore on the floor

Happy birthday to the Beautiful One! Crystal has her anniversary of making one full rotation around the sun! I love you baby! I hope it’s a great day for you! ❤️

The kitty calmer that Crystal bought last week, arrived yesterday morning. So I got dressed, and hit up the post office. Within minutes, t was plugged into the wall, like a glade plug-in. Pretty quickly after that, Podrick huffed straight from the plug in. From there, he pretty much slept from around 11:30ish (?) until he rolled off the couch, for a couple of bites of food. Then he was sleeping again.

He pretty much slept until about 10:30-10:45. That’s when he started to wake up. We kept him on the straight and narrow, until we went to sleep. I turned up my Sleep Daddy, to try and cover up whatever he was doing, while we tried to fall asleep. I only had to reset the talk down once.

Podrick was pretty good this morning. I only felt him crawl across me a couple of times. Then he was thrust out of the kingdom. I only heard the door knob rattle a couple of times, then he got bored. But that doesn’t stop the Podrick. Nope he went at that door knob, like the knob owed him money.

Back to work this afternoon. All, well most of the diesel has been removed from my clothes. I’ll be wearing the exact clothes today that I wore Tuesday before everything went to shit. Let’s see what happens today!

It’s Thursday, and I work all weekend. Let’s get some coffee!

I shoulda known better than to take him back to Abilene

Be right back. I have to fill the bath tub with vinegar, soap and cloths covered in diesel. No explanation needed, in my opinion.

It’s a Wednesday.

No explanation, but I submit a photo, I’ve designated as peoples exhibit 00346127.

That’ll soak for a while. Probably til around 11 or so, when it goes into the washer. This stuff has to be washed and dried before I go to work tomorrow afternoon. So we’ll tackle that in a little while. I’m told future Shawshank has the plan.

Other than the stuff that’s in the bathtub, I don’t have too much of a plan for the rest of the day. I should start to plan for dinner, but I’ll deal with that a little later.

The day has started, get on the train,bitches.
