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

To hide or slide, I’ll do as I’ll decide and let it ride until I’ve died

Here I am. I almost forgot to post, until my reminder on my phone went off. So I paused the game and started to post.

It’s cold out there today. The last time I looked, it was -33°C out there with the wind. Thankfully my whole job isn’t standing outside. Only short bursts of being outside.

Work is going very well. I get a long with all of my co-workers, and the district manager likes me. So that’s a good thing. I like being liked at work. The schedule had to change for tomorrow, due to a co-workers family member getting sick and having to go to the hospital. So instead of closing tomorrow, I’ll be opening to finish out the week.

Not too bad.

Which allows us to be able to have date night on the actual night. That’s a nice thing. It’s been such a schedule change since starting the new job. Any little bit of normalcy is a nice thing.

OK, back to the game, later assholes!

Makin’ their way the only way they know how that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow

Heyy, motherfuckers. I decided early this morning, that I’d post when I got home from work. I just wasn’t feeling posting this morning. So y’all get to read my post in the day light, and not the ass crack of dawn.

So, welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.

Within minutes of getting home, I’ve paid my bills for the month, and I have a kitten in my lap, and one nestled in beside me. Crystal is wedged into her side of the couch on the other side of Chaucer, who’s purring. The cat, not Crystal.

Work was ok, mostly slow. We got done everything we needed to this morning, and we then just kinda sat around until swing shift came in. Then we all sat around, but we took turns going outside, and ringing the register. We were waiting for the grocery delivery to arrive, which it did about 25 minutes before the shift was over. I stayed an extra ten minutes to help finish the order up, and then came home.

Good times.

Good morning my friends. It’s dark, and cold, so that must mean that it’s Tuesday. Yeppers, back up early again, that also means that I have an early shift. Actually, I have early shifts all week. It’s ok, downside: I have to be up wicked early. Upside: I have the afternoon off.

So we went to bed last night, and did what people do when they go to sleep. At midnight, I’m awake. I open my eyes to look at the clock, thinking it’s a couple of minutes before the alarm is supposed to go off. To my surprise, it’s midnight. My heart smiled, knowing I still had 4.5 hours to sleep. I rolled over, and passed out again.

Yesterday was a nice and lazy day. We didn’t do anything. Actually we watched weather related YouTube shows, and tried to nap. I think Crystal got to nap, but it just wasn’t in the cards for me. That’s ok.

For dinner I cooked Poutine. Of course it was good. We were both stuffed. That was the day. Now it’s back to work. It’s alright, I don’t mind the work. Happy Tuesday everyone. I hope y’all have a great day.

They’ll never know you’re just a bagel

Good morning, my friends. It’s Monday morning, and it snowed just a little last night. I shovelled off the lanai this morning. it’s also a little brisk out there. It’s our week for a bit of a cold snap. It’s currently 0°, but it’s -11° with the wind. Oh, and that’s in freedom units. For °C, it’s -18°C, -24°C with the wind. Thankfully, there’s no plans to actually leave the house today.

I think possibly, we’ll do the same thing as yesterday – watch some TV, and then take a nap. There will probably be a nap, there’s something that I wanna do tonight before going to sleep to get up for work. I wanted to do it last night, but we were both wicked tired. I was falling asleep a little as we were watching some TikTok’s. So yeah we’ll have adventures tonight.

Like I said, we didn’t do a whole lot of anything yesterday. We did the weekly chores, and then turned on some nature shows, and fell asleep with two kittens all curled up on top of us. I had hoped that I’d be able to nap a little longer than I did, but maybe today we’ll nap a little longer.

We got home from Shady Acres, and I was looking for something to watch. I stumbled upon Chicago. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen that, so we both snuggled in to watch it. It’s a good entertaining story.

So it’ll just be a great relaxing day here. Brunch, and naps are on deck for the both of us. I mean the cats are always down for a good nap, they’ll be happy when we snuggle in. Hell, they’re already snuggled in here.

Happy Sunday Monday everyone.
