You’re so fine, I want you mine, you’re so delicious

Well, hey how’s it going? Me? As per usual, I crashed last night. I didn’t turn my bed up last night, keeping it at level 1. I don’t think I feel as groggy as I have been, but it was only the first night without melatonin. We’ll see what it’s like tomorrow. So far so good.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad, slow but not too bad. Quiet in the morning, but I got a lot of little things taken care of. Mostly it was just in a holding pattern. I didn’t want start painting the deck because the weather app said we were expecting thunder storms – in fact most of the early afternoon was thunder storm warnings, and for about an hour or so. But each time the warnings went off, I’d look outside.

Sunny and a couple of clouds.

I ended up doing a second coat about 3:30-4ish. I only have to touch up the dark stain, and then just the other half of the deck and we should be done.

Not bad for a dude that’s never painted/stained a deck.

The reviews are starting to come out for Tears of the Kingdom. So until tomorrow, I have to avoid them. Shouldn’t be too hard. I’d definitely watch a review, if there’s no spoilers – spoken or visual. But that would be too hard for any reviewer to handle. So I’ll ignore them.

I need to refill my coffee. Happy Thursday y’all! Almost to the weekend!

Good Wednesday morning y’all. I’m awake. I’m a little groggy this morning. It was a hard day at work yesterday. I got in, checked the emails, and by 10 am I was prepping, and then painting the front deck at work.

I only got about half the deck painted yesterday. The plan was today, I was going to put another coat on the side that I painted. I don’t think I’ll be able to do that, we’re supposed to get some more thunder storms around the time I was planning on doing it today.

Hey, maybe tomorrow. We’ll see.

I came home, very very sore. I took some Advil, and relaxed on the couch while Crystal cooked dinner. We had an amazing dinner of spicy chicken sandwiches and for me, I had a side of cheetos. It was very good!

After dinner, I changed it up a little. I can’t remember if we watched Breaking Bad, before or after out shower. Nevermind, we watch an episode of Breaking Bad, then a couple of episodes of Supernatural, and then finished off the night of an episode or two of CSI.

Then I crashed like a Chinese weather balloon after being shot down. I closed my eyes, and then opened them about 45 minutes before the alarm went off. I dozed until the alarm went off. Chaucer tried his best to get fed a little early.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. He paced while I tried to get back to sleep. Everyone’s been fed now. It’s another day in TinyTown.

Let’s see what today brings.

Edit: holy cow!!

Awake. Well, I’ve been up for about 10ish minutes before the alarm went off. With the new curtain in the kitchen Chaucer almost slept til the alarm. He was just starting to pace just before it went off.

It’s bright and sunny this morning, and Pippin is waiting by the back door to see the garbage truck go by. It’s the start of a new week here. A slightly shorter week. I’m only working til Thursday this week. I have Friday off for the Tears of the Kingdom launch. I’m excited. I just have to make it through this work week.

Like I said, it’s bright and sunny, outside the birds are singing. The coffee has been brewed, and the cats are happy that we’re awake. So happy that one is at the back door, and the other is eating right now.

I watched Crystal kick ass yesterday while playing Assassins Creed 2. I’ve kinda missed hearing Crystal randomly mutter parkour! It’s a pretty neat story, and I can’t wait to see what it’s like a little further down the road when she’s actually very powerful.

Ok, I need more coffee. Happy Tuesday!

Good morning my friends. Once again, I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. It seems like that happens every night on the weekends. I just crash. The bed was the perfect temperature as I fell off the cliff of tiredness, in to a pool of sleep. I only got up once in the night. Well, it was about a half hour before the alarm went off. I just had to go to the bathroom.

The chores went off without a hitch yesterday. As usual. I sprayed the shower down and put bowl cleaner in the toilet. Then I fired up BotW. I completely forgot to wipe down and actually clean the bathroom. That’s when I shut off the game, and finished my chores.

Crystal made grilled cheese on naan bread. I made some left over perogies to supplement the grilled cheese. They were pretty good, and lunch was a success! We cleaned up, and Crystal asked if she could play some Assassins Creed, I said first off, you never have to ask permission to do something, and second – of course you can! I found the game and put it in the Switch. She started playing AC 2. From what she says the controls are a little wonky, but the story seems very interesting so far.

After she had played for a couple of hours, we paused the game, and headed up to Shady Acres for dinner. We got a curtain for the kitchen, and today I’ll probably move out of my comfort zone, and put up some hardware and hang the curtain.

It’s our usual lazy day here. Brunch for well, brunch. And then we’ll figure out something for dinner. Last night before falling asleep, I suggested chicken, Japanese curry, and rice. But we’ll figure it out later on today. I might hop up to the little grocery store, and pick up a bag of chips or something. I’ve been craving something crunchy.

But right now, coffee please! Happy Monday my friends!

Ain’t that about a bitch?!

Good Sunday morning everyone. We’re in the thick of the weekend now. It’s a little gray out there with a slight breeze. But it’s not snowing, so there’s that.

We were up wicked early yesterday to watch the Kings coronation, so around 10:30 last night we went to bed. Once I was comfortable, I was out. I crashed like Paul Walker*

Work yesterday was ok. There were a few people that popped in just “to snoop around”. I figured it out yesterday – there’s not a lot to do in these small towns, so in an effort to get out and to do something, people will drive from small town to small town to see what’s there. I totally believe that bored people would actually go to car dealerships you know, for fun.

After work, I picked up Crystal and we took off to the closest car dealership greenhouse. It’s not too far, pretty close to the only gas station on the outskirts of town. We wandered around looking at all the pretty plants.

We ended up getting some Brussels sprouts, morning glory, heartbreaker, and midnight sky. I can’t wait to see what they look like when they’re all flowering and looking good. And most importantly, we’ll hopefully have some yummy sprouts in a month or two. Bonus!

Today is chore day, I’ll be starting that in an hour or so. I need coffee first to power Big Chore. I contacted my landlady yesterday, and told her about the screen door. She gave me the contact info for the handyman, I copied and pasted the same text message to him, and he stopped by and took a look. He should be stopping by tomorrow to see if he can fix it. Thankfully, we’re not the only people that have a bum screen door.

Alright, I’ve typed too much! It’s like a book up in here! Happy Sunday y’all! Have some coffee!

*too soon?
