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

I ride on that thing like the cops is behind me (yuh, ah)

Why doesn’t it feel like a Friday?

It feels more like a Wednesday.

I’m back from work, and I don’t have to go in until Tuesday. That’s a good thing. It’s been a hella long ass week. But I got cheap gas today which is really nice.

Nothing much is too different here. I’m tracking Crystal’s birthday gift, and it won’t sadly get here until the day after her birthday. Goddamn it, I just can’t win! Thankfully, her original gifts arrived back in January, so I just have to get some wrapping paper when we go out tomorrow morning.

I don’t have anything else to say. I’m tired, slightly annoyed, but that’ll pass. So yeah, it’s fucking Friday. We have to go to the mediocre restaurant this evening, because the good one closed for the week. Annoying? Yep, but it’s understandable.

Happy Friday everyone.

So it snowed here last night. When u went out this morning to look around and have a smoke, I looked over to the Hot Mess Express, and it looked like there was like a foot of snow on top. So I figured when I went out to start it, I’d just stay out and clean it off, and then head to work a little early. So I did that, and headed off to work.

Well, I was a little early. So I get out, and just started to shovel. I’m sure it was appreciated. It’s a nice day out, the wind is hardly blowing, so it wasn’t too bad out. And it needed to be done.

I shovelled about 4 or 5 times before the shift was over. It’s nice exercise, and it’s mindless. So that’s that I did. Plus, it’s really nice when you come in, to grab a hot chocolate.

I was wondering what some of the highway cams looked like whilst the snow fell down, so I took a look. It didn’t look pretty out there.

I wonder what’s for dinner tonight? Crystal hasn’t said anything yet. We’ll figure it out.

Hello. It’s been a long day, but the work day is over. I worked last night until 9. Got home around 9:20, and 40 minutes later I was getting into bed. I had a little bit of trouble falling asleep. Then the alarm went off at 4:30. Work.

I get to work, and start the opening procedures. I only made 2 mistakes. I copied down the wrong set of numbers. I was close though, and I’m learning! So opening is finished and we’re ready to work. BossLady says “oh, I have something for you.” Spoiler alert, it wasn’t a day off with pay.

Ugh, keys to the store. It’s almost official.

Yesterday was a coworkers last day. After she left, and the other second shift guy came in, he went in the the break room, and wrote this on the whiteboard:

Good times.

Perogies for dinner tonight. That means bacon.

Bacon.

Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

Good dark morning, fam. It snowed a little last night. And of course it’s, all crunchy now. I shovelled the lanai. It’s gonna be cooler today with a high of 33°. Yesterday’s high was around 40ish or so. So the cold is creeping back. And I’ve been watching the snow accumulation prediction on the weather app for the snow that’s coming on Thursday now. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Yesterday was quiet at work. Granted I did have one rush where everything was full, but I got through it without the help of my coworker, as he had to take the first if only two shits he had to take. It’s all the shitty food he eats while at work. Two shits was actually pretty good for him. His record whilst working with me was four 20 minute shits.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to get out at the same time tonight, as I have to go to bed pretty much right after I get home, because I’m opening tomorrow. That’ll not be a great day, but we’ll get through it.

But for right now, I have a Chaucer on my lap, and we’re enjoying being awake for now. In a little while, the sun will be coming up, and hopefully it won’t be as foggy as it has been. But it’s gonna be a very good day today!

Happy Tuesday!
