Hide your diamonds, hide your exes, I’m a little bit Alexis

Shawshank, February 17, 2024

Good morning my friends. Yep, I’m posting at a normal time. Not in the afternoon. It was really nice to sleep in this morning. At one point I was dozing, and my mind was saying, I don’t think we reset the alarm clock, didn’t we? Ha ha, I fooled my own brain. I had reset the alarm, and it was going to go off. I successfully ignored my brain. I simply went back to sleep, because I knew that even if the alarm didn’t go off, I’d still have time to get up and ready, as I don’t have to be in until 9:45.

At about 4:30 yesterday I get a text from my mom asking if I was working. I said that I wasn’t. She asked if I could help her in about a half hour to help my dad get in the truck so she could take him to the hospital. I get up there and my dad under his own power is making his way to the truck. I help him get in and settled and I head back to The Flat to pick up Crystal for dinner.

I got another text just after 8, from my mom. They made it back home with a handful of new prescriptions. Hopefully this will help, and I hope that they figure out what the hell is wrong with my dad soon. He’s missed a lot of work.

We came home and did evening things. Crystal took a bath and I played No Man’s Sky. I played that until she got out of the tub. We had hot chocolate, and watched Antiques Roadshow. We each had a piece of cake and went to bed. I don’t know about Crystal, but I think I was out pretty quickly.

And now here we are. Coffee beside me, and Chaucer in front of me, staring. He wants to get in my lap. In a few, I’ll hop up and get in the shower. Then get ready for work. It may be windy, but it doesn’t feel that cold out there.

Happy Saturday y’all!

Hey. Morning. I just woke up. I don’t think that I moved at all in the night. I’m pretty sure that when I woke up, I was in the exact same position as when I fell asleep. The alarm scared me this morning. It looks cold out there. It didn’t…

Jetpack has updated, and doesn’t crash when I select a featured image. Woohoo! The tags though, are in alphabetical order. Boo! For the second time in over 1900 days, I haven’t used all the tags I usually do, because, I can’t remember my most used tags. Oh well. I’ll manage….

I woke up to silence. The fan was off. Everything thing is off. The power is out in town. That means no coffee. Or at this point nothing is on. I just texted work. They have power. So at least I’ll be going to work. BossLady says a substation is…
