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

It wastes time and I’d rather be high think I’ll walk me outside and buy a rainbow smile

Here I am, fresh from a nap. The nap wasn’t that great. It felt like I didn’t sleep at all. But it felt like I was dreaming that I was trying to fall asleep. Does that make any sense?

Last nights sleep was about the same. It didn’t take long to fall asleep, then I think I had to get up and use the bathroom. Or not. But anyways, from the time I got back into bed (or never left, who knows), it was a light sleep. The alarm scared me this morning.

Hopefully tonight’s sleep will be better. I have to try and remember to cover the wandering Jew outside. It’s supposed to get to freezing tonight. And I don’t have another cutting to put outside.

Tomorrow, Crystal is in charge of figuring out what to have, and cook dinner. I’m working a Saturday. And it’s my first time being the adult on shift. Sure, I’ve been the adult on shift before, but for like 2 hours. This is a full shift. I’ve told her I’ll probably be in early, to open, and hopefully we’ll get out on time. My brain will be mush tomorrow.

It’s date night tonight. Dinner out in a couple of hours? Then home. For the Queen, she’ll be having a spa day in the bathtub. For me, I’ll probably be struggling to stay awake while watching Midsomer Murders. I don’t know why I like it so much. The main characters are great, and the mysteries complex. I just like it.

Okay, so you’re a rocket scientist? That don’t impress me much

A little late, but here’s today’s post that you all been dying to read. But trust me, it’s not gonna be all that great.

I woke up this morning, foot a split second, was confused why. It was 4:05am, according to the clock radio. I wondered why my alarm didn’t go off. So I got up, went to the bathroom, and out into the kitchen, and turned on the coffee pot. Turning to look at the clock on the stove, it finally clicked – I still have 25 minutes to sleep. So back to the bed. I climbed in, and lightly dozed until 4:30.

From there, it was a normal day. Until 8:30. I got to go to a meeting! So me and BossLady climbed into her truck and off we went to SlightlyBiggerTown. We got there early. The meetings were interesting but I’d say, 30-40% didn’t apply to us.

Back in TinyTown, we popped over to the restaurant, and I ordered a quick lunch of a grilled cheese, and some fries, as I hadn’t eaten yet.

After lunch, we popped over to the second hand store. It’s 50% off everything. I didn’t find anything, but Crystal found some more sheets to make more pants. Winning!

Now we’re at home again. We’ll probably both fight an afternoon nap. We were both up wicked early. I have both cats on me. Pippin is really try to sleep on my chest, in a cinnamon roll.

Here I am, I’m still alive. I just really needed to nap when I got home. I am sleeping well at night, but damn, I’m really not liking getting up early. I don’t mind either shift. I prefer getting out earlier, but I like to sleep in.

Work wasn’t too bad today. A bit slower than yesterday. But you can’t always hit them out of the park. And that’s ok. Wednesdays and Fridays are always hurry up and wait. Those are our grocery deliveries. The big boss usually gets to the store around 12:30, give or take. Today, he sent someone else, that pretty much rolled in around 1 today. So I gave it my all for 15 minutes. The other fifteen minutes were spent helping customers outside.

Tonight is taco night! We get to gorge ourselves with meat, cheese, sour cream and spicy sauce. I can’t wait. I was very excited when Crystal told that’s what we were going to have.

I get to do this wondrous stuff all over again tomorrow! Colour me excited!

Oh yes, I have to post today. I got home from work this afternoon, and went right to bed to nap. As a surprise, Crystal came and napped with me. It was the world’s greatest nap, because of that. I know for a fact that I didn’t move. I’m a little stiff and sore for not moving in an hour and a half.

Work wasn’t too bad. Not busy whatsoever. We did some stocking and cleaning. I let NewGuy do all the running for the outside customers. He has energy, let him burn it off.

Having the day off yesterday, has really screwed me up day- wise this week. I’ll probably be a day behind until sometime next week. it’s all good. It’ll even itself out by the end of the week, as I’m working Saturday.
