Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning, happy August! It’s a gray day here so far, and as far as I can tell it’s supposed to be pretty gray all day pretty much.

Pippin was in rare form this morning. I think she started around 5, trying to get attention. I managed to pretty much ignore her, and lure her back to snuggle in and sleep. It took a little bit, but I convinced her to go back to sleep, which she did. Then the alarm went off.

So we got up. She currently wandering around and yelling, walking from one window to the other. She’ll wander and yell for a couple more hours, then hunker down and sleep.

It’s a routine.

I don’t have a lot planned for today. Brunch for sure. Tenant just dropped on Netflix, so I’ll probably watch that. Just a relaxing day, and work tomorrow.

So let’s get the day started, with a good cuppa joe!

Good Sunday morning to y’all. It’s a grainy day out there. Get it? Gray, and rainy – grainy. I thought that masterpiece up before coffee this morning. Pippin just wanted to play this morning. I tried to hide under the blanket, but she wasn’t having it.

It’s chilly out there this morning. It looks like it really wants to rain, but I don’t think that it will. Just gray everywhere you see. If I had plans for the long weekend, I’d be annoyed at the weather. But I don’t, so I’m not.

I’ll do a load of laundry. I did all the clothes on Friday , after the incident, so I figured that I’d wash the sheets. It’s such a chore to take off both weighted blankets, but the plus side of it, I’ll have nice squeaky clean sheets.

But before all of that, I need to imbibe copious amounts of coffee. Because, after all, it’s the lords day.

Made a meal outta me, and come back for more

Awake! The birds are singing, and it’s bright and sunny outside. It feels like it’s gonna be a hot one out there today. Hot, hot, hot.

I was up just a little bit early. Pippin wanted snuggles, and was pretty vocal about it. Once I rolled over, she snuggled right in, and we both fell back asleep.

Not too much planned for the day. I have to go into SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries. Nothing too major. Hopefully, this week I’ll be able to find some wings.

Other than that, I don’t have anything else planned for the day. But, I’ve planned too much so far. I should only be thinking about the coffee before me.

Let’s get this day started!

Picture this: absolutely dead day at work. We’ve both finished our work, and it’s about 9:15. For some reason BossLady isn’t calling. In fact, she didn’t call all day.

Score, right?

Yes and no.

I’m feeling good. Slight headache, but nothing I can’t ignore. I’m a trooper.

I go to the bathroom to pee. Poop dribbles out. Ok fine, it’s happened before. I finish up and go back to the office. Still feeling fine.

About an hour later, same thing. Ok, I think maybe it was the coffee NewNewGirl brought for me.

After that, I’m fine. Number one all morning, and the afternoon.

Still dead. It’s about 4:30 and we’re just pacing waiting to leave. Of course customers come to look around. I take care of them, and we leave. It’s Friyay, so I head to the restaurant, and order my usual.

I walk the 2 minutes back to the flat, greet Pippin. Notice that she knocked over the stand with my bamboo on it. I clean it up as best as possible, walk back to work, and grab the stick vac.

I clean up the mess, walk into the bedroom and get ready to change into comfies. I cough and…

Well…

Let’s just say I just got out of the shower, and I’m doing laundry.

Gee Shawshank, what’re you doing on a Friday night, on a long weekend?

Pretty shitty situation!

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!

Knocking me out with those American thighs

Good sunny morning y’all, it’s Friyay! Like I said, it’s bright and sunny outside. According to the local news, we’re going to be flirting with the 30s this weekend. That’s a good thing. It’s been cooler this week, so it’ll be nice to get back to some heat.

TGIF for sure. It’s been a longish week, but I think a pretty good week, but I am happy that it’s just about over.

I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, I should probably make a list tonight. Just the usual stuff again this weekend.

I need coffee in my system. I had a better sleep that yesterday, which is really good. I’m not as groggy this morning, as I was yesterday at this time.

Happy Friyay all!!
