Then the dream ends when the phone rings “you doing all right?”

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s Friyay motherfuckers! The weekend is in sight! Can you smell it? I totally can, and it’s not Pippin that farted, that smell is the weekend!

Speaking of Pippin, she let me sleep all the way to my alarm. She didn’t even hear the alarm because she was out in the kitchen I think looking out the window.

We’re under heat watches for the next 2 or 3 days here. That means it’s gonna be warm. It’s already bright and sunny out there. My kitchen blinds are closed in hopes that some of the heat can be disapated. We’ll see when I get back at lunch to open the kitchen up and close the blinds in the living room.

But right now, I have coffee.

Happy Friyay!

It’s a grave mistake and I’m wide awake

Good morning my friends. Pippin was excited for the morning I guess. She tried to get me out of bed for about 45 minutes. She did snuggle in for a little while, before she started up again.

It’s a gray day out so far. There were thunder storms for most of the night. I’m still deciding on whether or not I should wear pants today. Right now, I’m in shorts. But that could change.

It’ll be like a mini vacation – BossLady is gone for a couple of weeks. First a vacation with her family, then jetting off to a buying show down in the states. Yay! Here’s to hoping she doesn’t buy anything. We’re full up at the inn.

Right now, mother effing coffee. Amirite?

Happy Thursday y’all!

Good morning everyone! Happy Wednesday! It’s bright and sunny, and I’m wearing shorts to work as it’s supposed to be a warm one today.

Back to work this fine morning, and I’m sure it’ll be a busy busy one today. BossLadys last day in the office is today. She’ll be gone for a week, with family. Then she’ll be at a buying show.

So she’ll be wanting to finish stuff up. And I’m sure that I missed a lot yesterday. It’ll be hectic and all that. But hopefully the day will go quickly.

But I have coffee, and the morning is mine.

So let’s get the day started!

Good morning my friends. It’s a bright and sunny day out there today. I slept like a stone last night. It just took me an extra few minutes to fall asleep. I don’t know why it took me a few more minutes to quiet my brain, but it did.

But now I’m awake and have coffee. Pippin is on my lap. She’ll have a couple of bites of breakfast, then come and curl up on my lap. A few minutes later, she’ll get up for another couple of bites.

I felt kind of accomplished yesterday. I organized the freezer, made some brownies, paid the cable bill, and then – I made fried rice and had potstickers for dinner.

And it turned out good!

I’ll take that win!

Good morning everyone. Baby kitten Pippin woke me a minute before the alarm went off this morning. Thankfully she did, because since I had to reset the alarm clock yesterday, I neglected to actually set the radio station. So I was in the bathroom when a wall of static went off in the bedroom.

But it’s nice and clear and sunny out. That’s nice. There’s nothing on the weather app that says it’ll rain today, so we should have a nice day of sun, and just a little bit of a breeze. For a brief time, I’ve shut off the fans, and will let the Flat warm up a just a little before I start to throw the air around.

I went over to Shady Acres for dinner yesterday as normal. Before I left I cut the majority of the peonies and brought them up for mom and gramma. In return, mom had found some shelves that should help to organize my freezer. It’s a mess in there, and it threatens to all fall out every time I open the door. I work on that later today.

Other than that, I don’t have any plans.

But sometimes that’s not a bad thing. I’ll find something to do today. Happy Monday everyone!!
