It’s a lot later than usual, this post. Sorry. My brain is still foggy when I get up at 5am. I almost slept through the night, but around 1:30, Podrick decided to do Podrick things, and I had to ruin his fun. I fell asleep shortly after.

I had to open the shop this morning. I think it was around -7° without the wind chill when I got to work. I got the store ready to open. Then outside with my lantern toque to measure the fuels. I heard my coworker pull up and open his door, so I yelled that I was out back, and to come and use the side door. Once I was finished outside, the store opened minutes later to … no one. It was a quiet morning. Eventually, customers started to come in.

After work, I headed to Shady Acres to clean the pellet stove. After my mom showed me Crystal’s Christmas gift, and the shop-vac bag had been replaced, I cleaned the stove and turned it on. I grabbed their vacuum, and headed back to The Flat.

No plans for the rest of the day, except to finish Smackdown, and then make pizza, and watch the NXT PLE tonight.

Back to work tomorrow morning for the day. Then two glorious days off.
