Get out from that kitchen, and rattle those pots and pans

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning everyone. I trust all of my 2 or 3 readers had a great sleep. I had a pretty good one. I fell asleep to the sounds of nature. Namely thunder and lightning. It was loud enough to be heard over the fans in the flat.

It’s a gray morning here, and there’s possible thunderstorms this afternoon. But that’s ok, as all the people tell me, we need the moisture. I’m pretty sure I don’t need it, but the farms and people like that probably could use some.

Just drinking some freshly brewed coffee, watching the local news, and listing to the birds outside singing the music of their people. Sounds like the start of a pretty good morning if you ask me.

Also, the new alarm clock went off when it was expected. I just have to adjust the volume. It was a teensy bit loud. But it worked. That’s all that matters.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It’s just another manic Monday

I slept in! You heard that right. I managed to make it to 7:22. Listen, that’s big for me. Even bigger for Pippin. She was curled up next to me.

I woke up and it’s gray out. We’re expecting some rain, maybe even a thunder storm. We’ll see.

Yesterday was overwhelmingly hot. I decided that I’d do the chores today. Present me, is kind of annoyed at past me for pushing all the chores on to future me, but I totally understand. It was too hot to do anything yesterday.

So in an hour or so, I’ll start the laundry and do the rest of my chores.

Just another manic Monday!

But first confefe!

Then put your warm little hand in mine

Good morning everyone. We’re in day 2 of a heat wave, north of the wall. You see, when it hits over 32c, we get a heat warning. And apparently, when it gets this hot, the wind that’s ever present, always blowing – simply stops.

So it’s this hot, and no air movement. It’s already 23 here, and expected to get hotter, and then this afternoon, we’re also expecting thunderstorms.

So with all that news, I’m gonna do my chores tomorrow, when it’s cooler both inside and out.

When it was time for bed, I climbed in and called for Pippin. She came up and look a minute or two to get comfortable. She started off about half an arms length from me, and slowly got closer and closer to me until she was on top of me, then moved about an arms length from me. She decided I was too warm. She settled in, and promptly fell asleep.

I bought a new alarm clock yesterday and set it up. The only thing I didn’t do was set the morning alarm. Even without the alarm, I managed to wake up shortly after 7.

Yesterdays trip to CaptialCity was good. Too many people, and too warm, but I got just about everything that was on my list. I did forget creamer, but before I got to Shady Acres for dinner I’ll run to the gas station to see if they have any there, along with milk.

I got a Roku. Lemme tell you, it’s feakin awesome. So awesome, I’ve unplugged the Chromecast, and it’s in a drawer right now. If Roku continues to be awesome, I’ll give it to my parents and they can put it in the camper. I bought another Chromecast for my mom for her craft room. That’s a total of 3 at Shady Acres. I’m totally dragging them into the 21st century.

Everyone’s wondering, will you come out tonight

Good morning motherfuckers. It’s a somewhat bright and shiny day out. It’s windy, and we have a heat advisory active for the next two days. I’ll have the fans going when I leave at 8:30.

You heard that right. Ya boy is going on a road trip to CapitalCity this morning. It’s another trip to see how much I can get done in the shortest amount of time. And of course everything is all over the place. It should be a fun time of yelling at the idiots in front of me.

And traffic lights.

TinyTown doesn’t have traffic lights.

All in an effort to get back in time for the grad parade, which I’ll be streaming live down to Pensacola.

But first it’s coffee and contemplation. It’s also time for allergy pills.

Pippin is wide awake and tromping/running around the flat. I’m sure she’ll play for a little bit after I leave, and then fall asleep. I shut toaster off for the day, as it’ll be less stressful, as she’ll be alone all day.

So let’s get the day started!

It’s Friday, I’m in love
