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

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

Good morning friends. We’re almost at the end of the week. Only a couple of more days until the weekend.

We’re up and just ready to go here. Chaucer has already done his throw up his breakfast, and Pippin is just simply doing Pippin things. It’s cute, except for the throwing up bit. Thanks Chaucer.

This is probably gonna be a short post this morning as I do have a bit of a time crunch to try and get everything accomplished before I go. I have found out, that I’m not too excited about the mid shifts. They’re ok, but it’s no first or closing shift. But I’ll make it through the day, and then get ready for the final push tomorrow.

I haven’t been scheduled for any weekend shifts all month. That’s great, and at this point I don’t want to rock the boat, and say anything. So shhh!

Ok I need coffee etc. happy Thursday y’all I hope it’ll be a good one for you!

It’s slowly starting to get warmer out, but this afternoon the wind is starting to pick up again. Thankfully, I’m out of work now. It was somewhat steady today with a couple of times that it was slightly busy.

I haven’t been sleeping well the last week or so. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night. I think I might have slept through the night last night. I can’t remember if I got up to use the bathroom or not. But I didn’t feel as out of it when I woke up this morning.

Nothing left to do for the day now. Just kicking back and relaxing until it’s dinner time. Crystal told me that we’ll be having grilled cheese and chips tonight. That’s gonna be a major yum in my books. I loves me some grilled cheese.

That’s about it. Different day, same thing. So yeah I’ll quit while I’m a head out, and enjoy the rest of the day. Happy Wednesday y’all.

Catch ya on the flip side!

You know how I do but that’s just what I gotta do

Good morning everyone. I think that it’s Tuesday out there. Speaking of out there, it’s a balmy -33° out there. So, yes it’s a little warmer out there, but it’s still hella windy out there. It’s supposed to warm up a little, but the wind is supposed to stay all day.

Work yesterday wasn’t too bad, busy in spurts. They had a rough day before I got there, the POS, and actual POS finally died, I was shown their fix and how complicated the fix was, when the district manager came in with the replacement computer. Crisis averted!

It wasn’t too busy, but it came in spurts. We handled it, and the closing wasn’t too bad. I had to drive my coworker home as his car wouldn’t start. The Hot Mess doesn’t like the cold, but so far, has been starting not too bad.

Hopefully the wind dies down just a little today, you know to make it a little more bearable. But we’ll be ok.

More coffee, please.

Good morning. It’s dark, and probably cold out there this morning. I’ve been up on and off since about 4am. The first time was about 4:10. I woke up, looked at the alarm, and reminded myself that I didn’t have to be at work until 1:15. I fell back asleep.

The next time was around 5. Again, I reminded myself that I didn’t have to be at work until 1:15. I got up, and went to the bathroom, and then fell back asleep again. The bed was comfy, but just a little bit too warm. Mostly.

I didn’t get out of bed again.

Then the next time that I woke up was 2 or 3 times starting around 6ish. At this point it was starting to get just a little annoying. I found a position that I could breathe, and so I was comfortable. I think it worked, because I don’t think I woke up until around 6:40ish. At this point I refused to look at the clock.

Then the alarm clock went off.

And now, here we are! The coffee has been brewed, and we both have a cup of the good stuff. In a few, I’ll be hoping into the shower, and getting the day started. Currently with the wind, we’re sitting at -42°. It’s a little gusty out there, and it’s supposed to be like this for the rest of the day.

So let’s get the day started! It’s dark and cold! Winter is here. But spring is just around the corner. 64 days until the first day of spring! We can make it, right?!
