Gotta have a friend in Jesus

Good morning, hello! Well, I’m sure it’s morning somewhere in the world. I just got up from a nap, and had a really good kitten snuggle. The nap, was ok. I don’t really get into a REM sleep. Just a light sleep, for an hour or so.

Work was, well, wicked slow. Like the slowest I’ve seen in a while. No morning rush, just people randomly coming in. It was a long shift for sure today.

I spent a good while yesterday, working in the garage with my dad. He’s been more active lately. The day before he and my mom walked around the block. Which is amazing, but he over did it a little. Yesterday, he almost was like his old self, minus the cane. It was really nice just being around him.

I mowed their lawn yesterday, but that also meant that we had to get the ride-on actually running. I think that took about an hour or so, but we got it. Dad was starting to lose steam though when we couldn’t get the push mower running. I got most of the lawn done with the ride-on.

Back to work again tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will have stopped by then. However, it’s supposed to be windy again for the next couple of days (yay). So we got that going for us. But for right now. Kitten snuggles on the couch with the Great One. Happy Monday y’all.

And I’m a gentleman so without a pause I brought her a case of Claws

I think the wind has finally died down to a controllable breeze. Right now, at least. Good Sunday morning my friends. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing.

The coffee has finished brewing, and of course, Dateline is on. You know what that means, right? We’ve come to the ass-end of the weekend, and it’s chore day here. Later on, I’ll be doing some lawn work over at my parents place. I’ll have to take some allergy pills before that.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. We drove to SlightlyBiggerTown, and split off in to two separate teams. Me to the cell phone place, and Crystal to the second hand store.

After what felt like 2 hours, we finally walked out of the store. I’m now the owner of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The main picture of this post is the first photo on the new phone. I think it looks pretty good.

From there, we hit the bargain store, the pharmacy (I had to pick up a prescription for my mom.), and then it was time to get out of dodge. With a quick stop at Subway.

I dropped Crystal off at home, and dropped the truck and prescription off, and walked home. We had an amazing lunch, and I got all the apps to start downloading. Crystal played her game until it was dinner time.

After dinner, we started the rewatch of Outer Range. The second season dropped last week, so before starting the new season, we need to refresh our memories of the show. It’s just as good as I remember it.

Back to work tomorrow. Early shift.

Hopefully the wind stays down.

The party raged and the guests were screaming

Good motherfucking morning. It’s Saturday, and the wind is still happening out there. But it’s sunny, and not too many clouds in the sky.

The alarm went off this morning. I didn’t realize that the alarm was still set to my wake up time for Friday. So it went off this morning at 6am. I did my best to change the alarm so I could go back to sleep. But all I could do while using the force was change the current time an hour a head. So I asked the Great One beside me, if she could wake me up in an hour.

She agreed.

I clung to her like a spider monkey for another hour while she scrolled TikTok. Maybe she found some really neat videos. Maybe we’ll find out tonight.

Peace, bitches. I’m out.

Happy Saturday!

Good morning, my friends. It’s finally Friyay. It’s been a heck of a long week. So we’re just about to the end. And guess what? As of right now, it’s not windy out! It’s been just about a whole week of pure wind.

Anyways…

Yeppers, it’s Friyay. And I can’t wait until I can walk out of work this afternoon. Like I said, for some reason, it’s felt like two weeks in one. The days at work, have been going by slowly. Especially yesterday. The day just dragged and dragged.

Tomorrow, we’ll be popping over to the other SlightlyBiggerTown just for something to do. Crystal can go to the second hand store, I’ll be heading to the cell phone place. But then we’ll pop over to the general store, and possibly grab some lunch before coming home to prep for the year sale next Saturday.

I was up a little early, because Chaucer wanted to sing the song of his people. Then I had to pee. Then my mind asked me if I reset my alarm clock. I told myself it didn’t matter if the alarm went off at 6 or 7. I’d still make it to work. 7 would just mean that I have to move a little faster in the morning. I fell back asleep.

I had reset the alarm.

I hope y’all have a great Friday, and that your work day goes quickly. Come on weekend!
