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

La la, la la, la *ding*

It’s bright, it’s somewhat warm. That means it’s Tuesday here in TinyTown. I slept like the dead. I think once I got comfortable, I again, didn’t move. I woke up minutes before the alarm went off, in the same position as when I fell asleep.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. According to all the old people that came in, “fucking Trudeau, and his fucking carbon tax. It’s going to raise the price of gas.” I don’t know if it was the carbon tax (whatever that is), but gas did go up yesterday. No one other than the old farmers, even noticed. If they did, then never said anything

So it goes.

Today, I’ll be heading in for the closing shift. I have two this week. Today, and Friday. The closing shifts not too bad. The time seems to go rather quickly. I’ll be doing the closing paperwork tonight. I figure that if I have a closing shift with TisimBoy, I’ll close. Simple, right?

I have a glorious Chaucer on my lap. Pippin on the other hand, is very happy that Crystal put out the table. So she’s looking out the back door. The sun is in her face, and Crystal says she looks like she’s melted.

With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along

Hey hey everyone. Late post here as we had to driver to SlightlyBiggerTown to grab some flowers for my grammas birthday on Thursday. We dropped them off today, as I didn’t want them to die before her birthday. She loves them and almost started to cry when she saw them.

Work wasn’t too bad today. I opened all by myself, because BossLady started a couple of hours later. I opened without any problems. That’s always nice on a Monday.

While we were in SlightlyBiggerTown, I grabbed a pizza for dinner tonight. We haven’t had a good pizza in a while. The local bar here has a pizza night, and I was told it was pretty good. False. It’s not all that great. Like Crystal said “needs more grease, and slightly less cheese.” I agree with her.

Alrighty, it’s time for me to sign off. My attention span is starting to…

Happy Monday!

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?

Good Sunday morning my friends. I didn’t move all night. I awoke, I think, at 6:58. Noticed the time, and then for another 8 hours I slept again. Thus, I’m just a little groggy this morning.

The coffee has been brewed, and is being consumed as I type this. The sun is very bright, and doesn’t feel that cold out there this morning. It looks as if it’ll be a nice day out there. Just waiting for the last of the snow to melt. Hopefully, that’ll start today.

Nothing much on deck for the day. I have the last of my chores to do today, and of course Easter dinner at Shady Acres this afternoon. But other that that, the day is ours.

Work tomorrow.

But for now, it’s a beautiful sunny morning here. Not too much wind or anything like that. Happy Sunday y’all. Happy Jesus day!

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Welp, here we are – Saturday!

Pippin was crazy last night. Something I haven’t seen since I first got her. She was all over the place. Trying to get into the bookcase. Crystal wasn’t feeling too well last night, so I made her up a bed on the couch. That involved moving my little table. So it’s my fault that she went crazy. If I’d had moved the table elsewhere, her adventures last night wouldn’t have happened.

She’s currently on my lap, as an apology.

I slept ok last night. The bed is really big when you have the whole bed to yourself. And it’s lonely.

We didn’t do too much of anything yesterday. I did the laundry in the morning. Made some lunch, then we settled down to watch the last two episodes of 3 Body Problem. What a good first season. But it’s on Netflix, so I’m almost 100% sure that since it just got going, it’ll be cancelled as soon as Netflix can do so. I try not to get too attached to Netflix shows, as they have a nasty habit of cancelling popular shows.

I don’t think we have too much on our plates for today. I have another load of laundry to do, but that’s about it. I’ll think I’ll try and keep waking up Pippin as she falls asleep, you know, just to teach her what’s what.

Oh, also yesterday I restarted Breath of the Wild. I wanted something to do. Sadly it replaced my award winning (and game winning) save file. So I guess I gotta do it all over again now. Should be fun. I really like that game. Hopefully, I’ll be able to kick some ass.
