On This Day: April 24

She’s one of a kind, she’s just mine, all mine

Posted on by Shawshank

With all the snow that came a couple of days ago, it’s slowly retreating. It look pretty warm out there this morning. Pippin demanded that the back door be opened as soon as possible. That’s where she is right now, watching TinyTown slowly wake up.

It was a bit of a shits show at work yesterday. I get in at my normal time, and they’re still putting away the groceries. No problem, I jump into help. After the groceries are put away I find out the whole story. My coworker for the evening, called out. So BossLady called every other employee. Only one kid replied, and said he couldn’t.

BossLady stayed until 5, and then since no one came in to help out (everyone is complaining that they don’t have a lot of hours), we simply closed. I told her that I’d take the deposit and she could go straight home. Which after I took care of the deposit, I went home as well, after I burnt 4 hours of vacation time to make up the 4 hours I lost because the store was closed.

Today will be something fun. I’ll post pictures later. But for now, for the three people that actually read this, it’s a surprise. But for right now, bright and sunny!

Give ’em the old razzle dazzle

So yeah, I wore the loud hoodie today. Only one person mentioned that I was very bright this morning. But then it got too warm to wear the hoodie, so I took it off. No one mentioned what my t-shirt said.

“My mom says I’m special.”

My mom noticed it right away, and said that I was special. Aww, thanks mom!

Anyways, work wasn’t too bad. It seemed like the time just flew by. Thankfully though, I’m home now. And I’m pretty tired. I think I might nap for a little bit.

I did it. I got off the pot?

No, not that pot. I got off the video game pot, and completed BotW. Yes, that’s right, I BEAT MY FIRST EVER VIDEO GAME. Next up, getting paid to stream playing games on twitch. I need a gaming chair, a headband, and an energy drink sponsor. It took about an hour and a half for the two battles.

Probably closer to 2 hours, by just minutes. The first one was wicked intense, but finally, I managed to get through it. Half of it was my kinda game – brute force and ignorance, the other half is all Crystal. Strategy, and cunning. The second battle was a lot tougher. But you don’t want my review of a game that came out in 2017. And if you’ve been on my site for any length of time, you know I’m not a wordsmith. You’re here for the pictures.

So here you go!

So leave the light on baby, and unlock your backdoor I’ll be comin’ through that way tonight to love you for sure

A good groggy morning to all y’all beautiful people out there in the interwebs. Coffee has been brewed and the first cups have been poured for us. Chaucer is on my lap, and I woke up at one point, completely thinking that it was Tuesday.

Thankfully, it’s not Tuesday. It’s totally brunch day! Woohoo! You know what that means – motherfucking bacon, yo. That’s correct! Maple bacon is on deck for this morning. I think there’s a couple of waffles left too that I’ll have to pull out of the freezer for the Beautiful One.

Yesterday was pretty good. We played some BotW for a while. I totally prepped for an assault on Hyrule castle. Then I warped to it, so the next time I play, I’ll be in the mix ready to go. I then passed the controller to Crystal, saying I didn’t want to hit the castle by myself, thinking that she’d do a quick prep and attack the last Divine Beast. But she was having fun treasure hunting. That’s awesome!

Hopefully it’ll be warm enough outside for Crystal can spin for a little bit outside

Speaking of outside – last night both our phones went off at the same time. We have the same northern lights app. It basically said that we had a pretty good chance that if we went outside we’d see the northern lights.

Oh we did.

Each time we went outside, there they were, dancing in the sky. Beautiful. Totally beautiful. We took a lot of pictures, and even some video. It was totally awesome! I think Crystal really liked it too.

Hey, y’all. Greetings and salutations from South of the Wall. Shawshank is currently dealing with effects of the snowstorm that spent the last week raging across Sadscratchythong. At the moment, TinyTown is without power, and he’s trying to avoid touching his phone. His regular Sunday brunch of bacon and eggs was replaced with cereal and milk.

On the plus side, the power outage turned off his alarm clock and he slept in.

He’s been outside and shoveled a path to the road. However, nothing has been plowed aside from the main road through town. With the power out, he’s keeping keeping things lively with a good book in front of the window.
