Late breaking story on the CBC Shawshank, April 22, 2025 As Crystal put it in a text message to her mother: IT WAS ALL MELTED. SPRING WAS HERE. Ahh yes, but welcome to second winter. Although if you were counting, this is technically, like fourth winter. But yep, it’s snowing. And should pretty much be snowing for the foreseeable future, and into the evening as well. Yesterday was a mix of laziness, and cleaning. Li did the chores, and in late morning, I cooked brunch. Other than that, I played Balatro for pretty much the whole afternoon, frustrating myself in the process. But I actually managed to beat another deck. It kind of snuck up on me, and then BOOM! I get the you won message. Yeah, I was surprised. I showed the screen to Crystal, and said oh shit, I won! After the win, I had a couple of hours of pure shit being dealt to me. It was wicked frustrating, but I powered through it, and played more. I didn’t win on another deck, but I did manage to get my first ever Royal Flush! That surprised me! Back to work this afternoon. And, I think probably by the end of the week, this white shit will be gone again soon. Merry Christmas! Life almost springblogbloggercoffeejournalmorningssecond wintersnowTinyTown

Life That old diesel engine made an eerie sound April 16, 2021 Good morning. Awake long before my alarm went off. Remind me when I go to SlightlyBiggerTown on Monday to go to the thrift store and look for something I can hang up over the blinds in the bedroom. That’ll help, I’m sure. But it’s Friyay, it’s the end of the week, I just have to… Read More
Life Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and there and everywhere! June 20, 2021 I almost got up at 6am. I awoke with a fright – my bedroom fan was making weird noises. Me being a master mechanic, shook it until the noise stopped, then I went back to sleep Good times. It’s now the normal time to be up, and a full pot of coffee is brewing. And… Read More
