A thrill of hope – the weary world rejoices

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s cold out there. Damn cold. -31c with the wind. I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I laid there for a while debating on whether or not I should just go back to sleep I haven’t slept in since I was in Montreal.

I only got up once this morning. One of my eyes was really itchy. So I got up and put some water on it. When the alarm went off, I couldn’t open it. I had to use my finger to open it.

Usually when it’s this cold I wouldn’t leave the house, but today I have to go to the post office to mail my grammas christmas cards. Maybe I’ll put on my winder boots.

But for now, coffee. Happy Monday everyone.

I’ve got to go home – baby you’ll freeze out there

Awake! I think I’m starting to get used to the king size mattress. I’m slowly starting to stretch out. I’ll stretch out, wake up, and curl back up again.

It’s cold out there, and it looks cold – it’s currently -15c, but with the wind chill it feels like -27c. I don’t think I’ll be going outside today. It’s supposed to be warmer out tomorrow, but not by much. But I have to go to the post office to mail Christmas cards for my grandmother.

I have Christmas movies playing this morning. I don’t know why, I just want the holidays to be over. My mom asked me what I wanted, I looked at her and asked for Crystal, 2 kitties, and her truck to be here for Christmas. I know that’s not going to happen. It would be nice. But it’s not going to actually poof and happen. So I gave her a list of books.

But I’m up, and have a cup of coffee beside me. The next Christmas movie is called Christmas in Rome. I’ll get to see how other people from across the world celebrate the holiday. Like a documentary. Maybe I’ll learn something!

Anyways, happy Sunday. Stay warm and snuggled up. After Shady Acres goes down for their afternoon nap, I’m going to try and get some reading in, and get a book club post up.

When I remember to put the coffee in the machine, I can make a really good cup of coffee. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but toot toot!

I wanna really really, really wanna zigazig ah

So here’s how my morning has gone so far. Alarm goes off, I get up. In the process of making my bed I knock stuff all over the place. Clean that up. Make coffee. I forgot the coffee. I successfully made hot water this morning.

Happy Saturday!

Yep, I have a day off. I needed it. It felt like such a long week. I was really watching the clock the last hour and a half. I just wanted to get the heck out, and start the weekend.

Well, it’s here. Now what?

I think I am going to try and schedule some more bookish posts. I want to read at least one of the two books I have going. I’ve let that slide and I’m disappointed in myself. I’ll try to read either today, Sunday or Monday. Maybe I’ll read a little all three days.

So, I hope all y’all have a great weekend! Catch ya later!

Turn on your receiver – there’s a message coming through

TGIF am I right? Holla!

I took the blame, because it was my fault. I forgot to advertise that we were once again open until 8. In my defence, it was a crazy morning, and I totally forgot about it until 5 l, when I was going for dinner. It was steady, but not busy like last week. That’s ok.

One more day. One more day, and it’s the weekend. We can make it! I know we can! Nose to the grindstone. Put your back in to it. Etc, etc.

This is some damn fine coffee.

Oh! I have to say I’m a little disappointed and relieved that I can’t find A Recipe for Seduction on TV. I kind of want to see it, but part of me is pretty scared to see it.

So New Girl at work decided we needed to be “introduced” on the companies Facebook. There was a tease, and then reveal. Since it was her idea, she of course went first. Then had to chase me down to get my picture. Here’s my teaser picture. It was my idea to have the book, and have it upside down. What can I say, I’m quirky.

Happy Friyay erryone!

So you shakin that thang like who’s the ish

Good morning my lovelies. I trust everyone is doing ok this morning. So it rained all afternoon, and then it snowed last night. I’m sure the roads are going to be deadly. Thankfully, I walk to work. I just have to worry about busting my ass!

Excuse me for a moment. I need some coffee.

Two more days of work. And i think the accountant will be in today, because it’s time for her to do payroll! Time simply flies when you’re having fun.

But it’s gonna be a good day today. Wait shit. It’s Thursday, right? We’re open until 8 tonight. The last shop til you drop is tonight. Long day, but it’ll be a good pay check.

Happy Thursday y’all. I love you very much.
