She’s the only one who really understands what gets me, she thinks my tractor’s sexy

I came to, and it was dark. Sleep daddy’s lo-fi music was still playing in my ears. Podrick was raising hell, as he does on Crystal’s side of the bed, and when he didn’t get what he wanted over there, he’d stomp across my legs. He’d sit on top of the dresser which doubles as my nightstand, then walk back over me to terrorize Crystal again.

I have no idea how long The beautiful One has been awake for. Probably since at least 5 or 5:30. I feel bad. I hate it when you just wake up. It’s happened to me before.

So today, we’ll be bundling up, and heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. It’s not too bad out there. The wind has died down and we’ve just settled into cold. It’s -27° out there this morning. Compared to the last couple of days, and practically t-shirt and shorts weather.

And it’ll warm up a little more, when the sun actually rises.

Coffee will be the substitute until then.

It’s Saturday, y’all!

That old diesel engine made an eerie sound

We’ve been in a cold snap in the area. I checked my weather app last night, and it told me it was -45° with the wind. Well, the wind has died down a little this morning, but it’s still freakin cold out there. like I told the kid I was working with last night, “it’s not that bad out. I don’t mind the cold.” He minded the cold, and told me that he hasn’t been able to find his long underwear for a “couple of weeks”. So he ran the register.

It’ll be just as cold this afternoon. I’ll be in just as many layers as yesterday. I’m the adult this evening. It shouldn’t be too bad in fact, I think it’s going to be a good day. All that stands between me and the weekend, is an 8 hour shift. I got this!

I had a pretty good sleep. I woke up a couple of times in the night. I think some time in the night, for the first time in a long time, my knee locked up. Weird. I straightened it out and passed back out. Sleep daddy was doing his job. Then I don’t know when, I began to sleep on my neck wrong. Yep, stiff neck today. Woo!

It’s cold, it’s dark, it’s January, north of the wall.

Started out as just a little bit of southern buzz

Good morning my friends. Podrick let me sleep until 7 this morning just as he was really starting to become Podrick. So I rolled out of bed, and the day has begun. Let’s go.

Work wasn’t bad yesterday. As I was pulling in, the coke truck was driving up. So at least that arrived, and wouldn’t be a surprise in the next few hours. The other vendor arrived yesterday. So that’s not too bad. We got a new flavour of Pepsi in yesterday. I tried it. It’s not bad. So I bought one for The Beautiful One a bottle as well. Maple syrup flavoured Pepsi. Interesting.

Other than that? It was a quiet day. Not too busy. I’m sorry this is so short this morning. I just don’t have a lot of words this morning. I need more coffee. I need the stuffiness to drain out of my nose. Maybe tomorrow’s post will be a lot better. Have a great Thursday everyone!

Well, that’s the general consensus in this town

Good morning everyone. Crystal is sitting upright this morning. That’s a good thing. She slept out in the couch last night because, she was still having a little problem regulating her temperature. But like I said, she upright, and asked for coffee this morning.

It was a quiet day yesterday. Crystal spent most of the day sleeping in the bedroom. I spent most of the day, playing Red Dead Redemption. I didn’t move the main storyline forward. I did some side questing. I managed to unlock the buffalo gun. And moved a couple more quests forward.

That’s it. That’s all I did.

Well, I cooked dinner for myself.

I didn’t move forward in any of the shows that we watch. I just watched NXT, while Crystal was dozing on the couch.

Back to work this afternoon. Hopefully the winds have died down just a little. So I’ll be slowly getting ready throughout the morning. So let’s get the day started!

American spirit, the smoke and the taillights I guess that I’m in it for more than just one night

The Beautiful One isn’t feeling well this morning. She sacrificed her well-being to let me sleep in. She had to deal with a hyper-active Podrick, so I could rest. Now it’s my turn to take care of her.

I don’t know when she got out of bed. Even when I woke up, I figured it was about an hour or two earlier than it actually is. I feel like I slept have the morning away. It was a nice surprise when I looked at the only physical clock in the apartment.

Yesterday, was a nice relaxing day. I did the laundry, and made brunch for us (I did find some spicy sliced cheese, so Crystal had a bacon, and cheese bagel), and we played video games all afternoon. We made pork chop tacos last night, and they were so very good. After dinner, we watched RAW, then an episode of Yellowstone, and then a couple of episodes of Vikings.

I’ll take care of The Beautiful One this morning, and for the rest of the day. She let me sleep in, so I’ll shield her from Podrick.

Where is Podrick?

He’s quiet.

Too quiet.
