I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high

We’ll, I’m awake. It’s the second time I’ve been awake this morning. Pippin jumped off her perch in the bathroom, off the toilet organizer, knocking off a bottle of pills to the floor. I shot out of bed to again, see what was the matter.

I picked up the pills and put them away again, and at this point, Pippin is running around like a crazy person. Eventually, she settled down and fell asleep on my hip. Both kitties slept on the bed at the same time last night.

She’s now on my lap, all loafed up. She’s a strange little kitten. It’s like she chugged a Jolt cola in the middle of the night. For such a small kitten, she sure can make a lot of noise as she tromps around at the speed of sound.

Anyways, we’re up, and dressed, and the coffee has been brewed.

Pitter patter. The faster we start the day, the faster it’ll be over! Happy Wednesday y’all!

Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot*

She looks sweet and innocent, but Pippin was being a bad little kitten this morning. I was awoken to some noises. I sprung out of my bed to see what was the matter.

She was in the laundry area closet. She rushed out when she heard me get out of bed. I put away four or five boxes of Kleenex, and two or three rolls of toilet paper, and went back to bed.

That was around 4:30am.

From there, it was a light sleep. I’m all stuffed up, so I was really trying to force myself to breathe through my nose. Every time I started to breathe through my mouth, I woke up, and forced myself to breathe through my nose.

I must have slept deeper than I thought, because when I woke up again to look at the clock, it was 6:50. So it wasn’t too bad of a sleep.

But we’re both up, Chaucer is trying to find a comfy spot in between us. Coffee for all. Back to work this morning. Shouldn’t be too bad, I believe I’m alone in the office today, so I should only have to talk to BossLady on the phone and via text today. It’s a nice way to ease back into the work week.

Happy Tuesday my friends! Let’s all have a good week, shall we? Woohoo!

This ain’t a scene, it’s a goddamn arms race

Yawn. Good Monday morning everyone. The start of a new week, I actually like Mondays. I like them because this is the last day of the weekend for me. One last day to sit and do nothing.

There are no plans to really do too much of anything today. We don’t have to be anywhere, or to actually do anything. I really like days like this.

We’re just waking up, the elixir of life has been brewed, and we have the news on to catch up what we may have missed over the weekend.

It was a really good weekend. Day off on Friyay for Remembrance Day. Which was really good. We played our co-op game for a few hours. I’m really enjoying Cat Quest 2. Saturday morning we got up, and got ready to head to CaptialCity.

Aside from some TPMS issues, we made good time up to the city. The traffic wasn’t bad at all, and the weather was perfect to drive up. We chatted and listened to some pretty good music.

The first stop was Value Village. We’ll, that was the second stop. The first real stop was the dirt mall. We looked at all the booths, Crystal bought some flavoured honey for Christmas presents for her mom. I think she’ll like them. We tested the chocolate flavoured honey before buying it.

Next we went into Value Village. I bee-lined it to the book section. I’ve been looking for two years for a hard cover New Moon, and a soft cover Breaking Dawn. I was not lucky enough to find them. I’ll keep searching for them. A little disappointing, but I want going to let the ruin my day. Crystal, in the other hand single handedly bought all the sweaters in the store. She’ll be toasty warm this winter, and that’s a good thing!

Next, we struck out at the vape shop, but again cleaned out the local weed store. Then it was lunch time. We had really good, but slightly overpriced burgers. Then we went to everyone’s favourite store – Walmart.

What a zoo! We did manage to get a lot of stuff that we needed. After loading it all in to the back of the Hot Mess Express, we started to make our way back to TinyTown.

So all in all, it was a good weekend. Let’s hope this next week is a good week as well.

MOAR COFFEE, PLS

‘Til all skeet-skeet, goddamn (goddamn)

Good Sunday morning everyone. It’s dark, and chilly out there, north of the wall. I think the wind is picking up a little too. It’s pretty much a perfect day for chore day. Currently, I’m being held down on the couch by Pippin.

I fell asleep last night to the dulcet tones of kitties chasing each other. There wasn’t too much amiss in the living room, minus the fur blanket on top the pirate chest. I don’t know who was chasing who, but I think they were still chasing each other when I passed out.

I woke up a couple times in the night, but I didn’t get out of bed. First was 5am, and I thought great, I’m awake really early in the morning. Then I fell asleep again. The next time I woke up, it was 6am. That’s when I thought, I can work with this, I can start the coffee. Then the next time was when the alarm went off.

That brings us to right now. Coffee, and a kitten, Dateline on TV, and my beautiful girl next to me. It’s a good morning. In an hour or so, laundry will be started.

It’s gonna be a good day.

And since I’ve forgotten for a week now, WordPress sent me this. It’s pretty impressive, at least for me. I’ve been posting to this site for over 800 days now. That’s even more impressive, but this was pretty cool if you ask me.

Tell me whatcha wanna do, whatcha gonna do?

Good morning everyone! It’s Saturday, and it’s dark outside. I’m up with coffee, and Crystal is becoming human.

It was a glorious lazy day here at the Flat. We played a couple of hours of Cat Quest 2, and gained about 7 or 8 levels. It’s a really fun game. I like beating on things until they stop moving.

After that we cooked dinner and settled in to watch a movie. We watched Clerks 3. Wow. What a beautiful love letter to the original film. So much nostalgia. I was in tears a couple of times at the end. Kevin Smith, while being the king of fart jokes, etc can sure write himself some very touching dialogue. All I could think of at the end, was they look so young in the flashbacks. SO VERY YOUNG.

They were. The original move came out in 1994. 28 years ago it came out. Wow. It still feels like the 90s were 10 years ago.

After that heavy heavy movie, I needed something to cleanse the palette to say the least. Crystal suggested Bad Boys for Life. It was a very good popcorn movie for sure with just enough of a plot/storyline to make it passable. You can really notice that these characters are getting older, there were less stunt-fighting. But still a quality flick.

We’re off to CapitalCity for a day of shopping. It’ll be a long day, but a good day.

Pitter patter…
