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

But here’s my number, so call me, maybe

It’s been a long freakin day. Up at 4am, at work at 5:30, and then worked two hours over time because we’re short handed and the next guy didn’t come in until 3:45. So now I’m finally home. the last two hours went by so slowly.

It’s been raining all day. I’m now blocking two heat vents. One with my shoes, and another with my gloves. Everything else is being washed and dried at this time.

I’m in my comfy clothes now. Dinner will be soon. Then I’m just going to be a lump, and do nothing other than cooking dinner. I think I’ll ask Crystal if she can do the dishes. I’m cold and tired with just a slight headache.

So lay your cards down, down, down, down, oh

Good morning/afternoon, or evening if you prefer. I’m home once again from work. It was a little busier today, because we’re closed on Sundays. So that was a nice thing. Course when you’re busy, it’s harder to stick, and clean. But that’s ok.

It’s starting to get warmer in the mornings, which is nice. It’s windy, and it’s supposed to be windy for the rest of the week. Thankfully l, I don’t have any hair to get messed up.

This morning I was wide ass awake at 4:15. My alarm is set for 4:30. So the minutes clicked by as I tried my hardest to actually fall asleep again. Sleep came just as the alarm went off.

My parents are in CapitalCity for some cancer screenings. I guess my dad will be getting 5 days of chemo in a row. He’ll be staying at the hospital, I don’t know if my mom will be stay with him. If so, I’ll be feeding the kitties while they’re gone.

Cancer fucking sucks.

Ok. Now to decide if I want to nap or whatnot.

I want you smothered, want you covered – like my Waffle House hash browns

Good Sunday morning people. It’s bright, and very very sunny outside this morning, and Pippin is already looking out the back door.

The coffee has been brewed. And chore day has officially started. The cats litter box has already been cleaned out for the kids. Chaucer prefers that the box gets cleaned right away because, he doesn’t like anything that he’s deemed “unclean”.

That’s right, everyone. After a week, chore day is back in full effect. I’m thinking of stripping the bed, and washing the sheets this week. We’ll see. Laundry will be a started in a little while.

Before brunch gets started today, we’ll be making some waffles. Then we’ll be able to get to the meat and potatoes of the brunch. Waffles for the Queen. And we have enough supplies to do the usual double order.

It’s been a long, long, long time running

The sound of a cat rave woke me up briefly this morning. The big man, Chaucer, was getting a little sick around 6 I think. We sprung to readiness, and the great Crystal cleaned it up.

We got back into bed.

When the alarm went off, we snuggled for a bit to hear the weather report for cities 2+ hours away. It should be a very nice day locally today. I think the best day for the next week is today.

And what’s the plan for the day? I don’t know. I’m still thinking of a movie marathon. What’s for dinner? That’s a very good question. We’ll figure that out later.

Date night went off without a hitch, as expected. I had a spicy (not so spicy) chicken sandwich with Caesar salad. I like their spicy chicken sandwiches, but as always, they’re not that spicy. This one just had some nacho cheese.

I have to remember when I got to drop off some mail to Shady Acre, to stop on my way back to the flat at the grocery store. I need to pick up some milk.

But for right now, coffee. Happy Saturday y’all!
