Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas

Posted on by Shawshank

Awake. The bed was so snuggly this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed. But eventually, I had to get up, because I really needed to use the bathroom.

But eventually I got up, and started the day. Brewed the coffee, and fed the kitties. Pippin forced her way up on to my lap, and is currently very happy.

I’m sorry that seems like a short post, I’m still trying to wake up, and when I first wake up, my brain isn’t firing on all cylinders yet. I have to call in a couple of minutes for an oil change on the Hot Mess Express.

Let’s start the day and all that happy horse shit. Let’s do it!

Good morning. We, well, I slept in. I don’t know about Crystal, but I made it until 7:44 according to the alarm clock. I woke to Pippin leaping across the bed to attack Crystal’s fingers and toes. Every morning the girls play in the bed. It’s very cute seeing Pippin fox jump on toes.

‘‘Twas a Long day yesterday. Worked the Saturday shift. Actually had a good sale, and was just about to start pulling some discontinued fabrics when BossLady rolled in. Thankfully it was about 1:15, meaning only about 45 minutes left in the shift. I of course dropped what I was doing and did what she wanted. Under her direction I took about 30 photos of sheet sets, towels, sham sets etc, and put them on instagram stories. By the time I was finished that, it was time to go.

I picked up Crystal, and we started the drive to BiggerTown. It’s not a bad drive, and is a lot shorter than the drive to CapitalCity. We hit a couple of stores, then it was off to Walmart. I think we bought the store! Lots of stuff, but everything we got, we needed. That’s a good thing! From there, we hit the weed store, and grab some McDonald’s to eat. Then it was back on the road back home.

It was a little late when we got back. We fed and loved on the kittens, showered and fell asleep, quickly.

Now we’re up, and have coffee. And a kitten between us and one happily on my lap. She’ll be a little upset when I get up to get more coffee and to prep the laundry.

Happy Sunday y’all!

Good morning. It’s dark, and cold out there, and zeppelin was outside hoping to come in first thing. I didn’t let him. But I did give him some pets.

Yesterday was pretty slow at work. But I did get some stuff taken care of, and I have a couple of items to take care of. So for my 4 hour shift, I’ll have a couple of things to do.

After work yesterday we piled into the Hot Mess Express, and followed some friends out to BossLadies cabin. It was bigger than I thought it was. And coming from the complete mess that the showroom is, she actually has taste, and design sense. She has it decorated very nicely.

BossLady also is surprisingly a very good cook. I enjoyed her food. The company was as good as the food she served. Before we left, we all exchanged gifts. I got some prepaid Visa cards for some new clothes, a really nice sign to hang up, and Crystal got a nice candle and some beautiful custom earrings.

But after all that fun, I have work today. That means coffee. Let’s get some and start the day 🙂

I love you, now you cannot pretend

Good morning, it’s Friyay! I’ve been up on and off since about 5am. One of the kittens decided that time would be a good time to run all over the house like a crazy person.

They sounded like they were having fun. I drifted back to sleep for a while, then up just long enough to look at the clock, and go back to sleep. I snuggled, and was snuggled.

Alarm goes off, I do my usual routine. Get up, dressed, and bathroom stuff. Go out and turn the coffee on, and feed the kittens. I throw on my slippers and head outside. It’s snowed, and then the winds happened and it’s drifted all over the place. It almost looks worse than yesterday. We’ll see if BossLady comes in today.

But we’re awake and ready to greet the day. The office Christmas party is tonight. It was supposed to be yesterday, but more snow fell then, than today. I can’t forget the Christmas presents for BossLady, and NewNewGirl. I had to hid them, because Chaucer likes to lick and eat the plastic bows.

Ok I need to refill my coffee, and eventually get outside and do some shovelling. Happy Friyay everyone!

Good morning my friends. Yesterday around 1:30 it’s started. The snow. The snow fell until about midnight or so. In total, about 11.4 cm of snow fell, with another 18mm is expected today. I shoveled the lanai, and the concrete pad. Next time I go out, I’ll do the rest of the sidewalk down to the road. I can hear the town machines starting to clean up the roads.

Today is supposed be our Christmas party at BossLadies house. We’ll probably still go. But I’m not a 100% on that. We’ll see I guess. I’m sure they’ll be late getting into work. It’s all good. As you can tell, I’m not too excited about the dinner. It’s outside of our regular habits. It’s not routine.

What is routine is a good cup of coffee. A damn fine cup of coffee. It’s warm and tasty. And the news is on.

Let’s get going!
