The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait

* did he win that game of solitaire? Stick around to find out!

Good morning everyone. Happy Thursday. Little bit of excitement here in TinyTown last night – I’m sitting here watching FBI. In fact, I was about 10 minutes into an episode, when everything EVERYTHING went black. The whole town lost power.

Which prompted me to have two thoughts:

1. I really need to get candles, and a flashlight in case this happens again.

2. I need a baseball bat in case of looters. Looters? In TinyTown? What am I crackers?! There’s no looters here. I don’t know why I thought that at all.

Anyways, I texted Crystal back and forth, until 10pm, when I said I’m just gonna woot toot, and head to bed. I think I just about fell asleep in a totally silent room, when noise! The fan kicked on, and the appliances did as well.

I think the power came back on around 10:30-11. I can’t be sure, as I don’t have a clock in my bedroom. I got up to pee around 2:30 and I noticed it was very bright in the living room, when the power came back on, the TV came back on. So I shut it off, peed, and went back to bed.

But the coffee is ready, and that was my adventure last night. Let’s greet this day and kick it in the nuts. Happy Thursday, happy Rex Manning day!

* I didn’t win that hand, but I did win one game a little later on. Good times. 🙂

Good morning children, what time is it? That’s right, since you’re finished your shower, and you’re dressed, it’s coffee time! I was smart, I made the coffee last night, so all I had to do was turn it one before I hopped into the shower.

The news is on. It’s the Vancouver early editions, but it’s news. And I believe they’re only an hour behind me.

Yesterday was a long day. But Tuesday’s usually are. It’ll be better today. I’m working on setting up the clearance area.

But right now, coffee and news. It’s a nice way to start the day. Happy Wednesday everyone!

I wake up in the morning, with the alarm clocks warning, I don’t think I’ll ever make it on time. – Saved by the Bell.

Good morning happy Tuesday! Let’s get jiggy with it. I believe I had a pretty good sleep last night. And while I’d love just one more day off, I don’t have one, so in a few hours, I’ll be heading off to work.

The last five days have been really nice. I’m settled in The Flat, and have a couple of meals under my belt. I still remember how to do it.

Ok, I’m gonna go. I’m still trying to find news on these free streaming apps. Happy Tuesday!

So they all come and dance beside me

Good morning! I’m up, showered, dressed, and I have a cup of coffee sitting in front of me. My little experiment has worked the last couple of days – my phone stays out in the living room. The volume is loud enough to wake me up. That’s a good thing, I don’t need to go and get another charger.

My grammas birthday went well. I got there about 4:30, and I cleaned the stove for my dad, as he was out working yesterday. We had a really good meal of turkey, potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. I left sleepy, and very full. I also left with leftovers 🙂

Today, I have to do laundry. Yay laundry! I like doing laundry. It’s very easy. I should only have one load. Other than that, I don’t need to clean, because I’ve only been here 5 days, and it’s still clean in here. Toaster comes out on Saturday mornings. He cleaned a couple of days ago, when I was in BiggerTown.

But, it’s back to work tomorrow. I’m ready. I’ve enjoyed these 5 days off, but now it’s time to jump on the let’s do something, that I’ll get paid for. I’m ready to go back.

But right now, coffee, and some news. Happy Monday y’all!

Good morning, happy Jesus day everyone! I’m up, dressed, and coffee is brewed. Today, I’ll be going over to Shady Acres for my grammas birthday. I believe she’ll be 89. I think my mom is making a turkey, and I’m pretty sure there will be some sort of cake. While I was in BiggerTown, I got a card, and a gift for my gramma.

But I have a few hours to go before going over there. I still have to run to the gas station to fill up the truck. My mom and I take turns filling the truck.

It’s a bright and sunny day. Just slightly below freezing, but it’ll warm up. Just about all the snow is finally melted.

So have a really good day. Prepare the cave if she tries to put marshmallows on your sweet potatoes. It’s gonna be a good day, to have a good day!
