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

Hey hey. This will probably short and sweet as I’m freakin tired. I was up about 15 minutes before my alarm, and I couldn’t get back to sleep. As a result, I’ve been dragging ass all day.

But I checked off the grocery order all by myself today. I’m a real boy! It was a slightly larger order, because head office is closed on good Friyay. So we had to make sure that we had enough for the people to last us until next Wednesday.

Tomorrow will be the same, but without the grocery order. Then I actually have Friyay off. Yay! I can sleep in!

Like I said, short and sweet. Happy Wednesday y’all!

But everything looks better when the sun goes down

Another day, another dollar. Before taxes. I’m tired. How hard would it be to just have one restful night a week? A month? I’m not greedy. I slept well I guess last night. The alarm didn’t scare me. But I just don’t feel rested, or myself.

I’ll live.

Work wasn’t too bad today. It was busier than Monday. Which is freakin great. It made the time go by quicker than normal. I’m just happy I was able to leave.

We have some turkeys at work, so I bought the cheaper, unstuffed one and snuck it into my parents freezer. It’ll be a surprise for mom.

I fell asleep on the couch yesterday afternoon. I’m going to try and not fall asleep today. But no promises.

Wake up late, whine and weep

It’s bright, but chilly outside. The wind is totes making it colder out there. I’m glad I’m home. And even better? It’s freakin wing night!

I slept like the dead last night. Again, I don’t think I moved. And when the alarm went off, I jumped, and was convinced that I overslept by 2.5 hours, and was totally late for work. Thankfully, I wasn’t, and it was 4:30.

Dark.

I lived through work, and grabbed some stuff for dinner, and came the fuck home. Crystal is already asking Chaucer if he wants to take a nap. I could nap, but I’m gonna try my best not to fall asleep today.

I just want to have a truly restful sleep. Not even all the time. Just once a week. That would be nice.

Time to watch some news now.

Happy Monday y’all!

Ugh. Good morning. I think I slept in one position again last night. I think mostly I slept on my left side m, because my shoulder is paining me this morning. But here we are. The Flat is awake.

We did the usual things yesterday. Grocery store, weed store, but we made a quick trip to Tim Hortons for a small birthday present for my dad. Then it was off to Subway for a quick to go lunch. They remembered Crystal and they mostly knew her order.

We came back and had lunch. Then for some reason, I decided that I couldn’t keep my eyes open, and I mostly napped on the couch all afternoon. If I was smart, I would’ve just gone into the bedroom. I thought if it at one point, but was too lazy to actually get up and go into the bedroom.

After a wonderful Perogy dinner, we sat down and watched Road House 2024. Lemme tell you, this movie slaps. It actually stands on its own. If you go into it, not expecting anything, you’ll be surprised. I mean it shares basic plot points, and the name of the main character. That’s it. It’s a pretty good popcorn flick.

Today is chore day, and then we’ll be heading over to Shady Acres for dinner, and to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Finally we can celebrate someone’s birthday with their presents that arrived on time. I actually ordered and received them in time!

But first chores.

And coffee.

Mostly coffee.
