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

I blew out my bong pipe, ran out of Bud Light

Lemme start this off with a question- is it motherfreakin Friday yet? Sheesh, it seems like this is the week that will never, never end. Good morning, welcome to Thursday.

So as an update to the drama that’s been happening, NewNewGuy got fired yesterday. Our general manager came a few minutes earlier than he usually does. We had the order put away before NNG got in. As soon as he did, right up into the office.

It didn’t take long, he came down, collected all of his stuff. And like the “hero” that he thinks he is, took off like a bat out of hell, drifting out on to the highway. And like that, back to normal.

Since he was let go, the schedule changed just a little bit, and instead of being the mid shift guy today, in order to have coverage, I’ll be closing today.

That meant I got to sleep in another hour today. I think I’ve gotten more sleep this week, than I’ve had in a while.

But before human form, coffee.

Thinkin’ ’bout a life of crime ‘cause that’s what I’ll have to do

Good morning, friends. It’s a bright, shiny, and wickedly windy out there this morning. It looks awesome out there, until you notice that all the trees are moving back and forth.

Work yesterday, was interesting. NewGuy will probably be let go today. I guess sitting in your car, taking huge bong rips, and lighting up a joint, and then posting it on social media is a bad thing. This job is yours for the taking if you come to work on time, and not getting high at work.

Mind blown.

I went over to Shady Acres for a quick project for my dad. He really wants to get out of the house, and regain his strength by walking around. So we made a ramp to help him get the walker down the stairs.

After that, back to the Flat. It was breakfast for dinner last night. It was pretty good. I ran out of Slap Ya Mama spices, so I had to grab some Everglade seasoning. It wasn’t too bad, I’ll have to put just a little more on next time.

Ok, I need more coffee, and Chaucer is staring at me, wanting to get on my lap. Happy Wednesday y’all!

Keep a little dirt under my pillow for the dirt man

Good morning everyone. It’s a bright and shiny day here in TinyTown. It looked like it rained most of the night. Now it’s just windy. I said it was bright and sunny, but it’s really mostly cloudy, and I think it’ll be like this most of the day.

Work yesterday, wasn’t too bad. Mostly just slow. I opened yesterday, now for the rest of the week, I’ll be the swing shift. So I’ll be working the 8-4 shift. It’s an ok shift, so it’s not too bad.

I won’t be heading home right after work. I have to head over to Shady Acres, to help my dad engineer something so he can go for walks to build up his strength again.

But right now, it’s coffee time. And Chaucer is staring at me, he requires my lap, but I gotta get up and get dressed. Let’s get the day started.

Mix it up with something strong I feel a sin comin’ on

It was a froggy morning here in TinyTown when I woke from my slumber. I went to bed a lot earlier than I really wanted to, but I adjusted the heat on my vape, and it totally kicked my ass. I passed out around 8:30. Only up once, maybe twice in the night to go to the bathroom, etc.

Still, 4:30 came wicked early in the morning. But I rolled out of bed, and started my day. Lemme tell you, it didn’t get too exciting once I got to work. It was slow. I made it through though.

My birthday weekend wasn’t too bad. I got some hoodies from my parents, but I don’t think they’ll fit. I asked for 1X or 2X, so they’ll fit after they’ve been washed. I got two from my parents, and they’re only a large. They barely fit.

The turkey dinner was really good though.

Crystal is wrapping my presents just a couple of feet in front of me, I can’t wait to see what she chose for me. Chaucer is licking and chewing on the plastic. Pippin is off doing Pippin things.

And I get to get up and do it all again tomorrow. I love the smell of capitalism in the morning!
