Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Thank god it’s Friyay. It’s a blustery cold day out there. I survived work and am back home, with Chaucer in between us.

I’m tired, man. I was up early this morning, but managed to go back to sleep for about a half hour before the alarm went off. I got up and stumbled to the kitchen to turn the coffee on, then did my bathroom things, then came out to the living room to get dressed.

I don’t really have a lot to type about today. I did manage to make a list yesterday, and bought some stuff at work and got gas. We’ll be heading out tomorrow after work to grab a few more things from an actual grocery store, and the weed store. Possibly even subway. But probably not as it’ll be later than normal when we get into SlightlyBiggerTown.

Yep it’s cold. Very cold. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m at home with a happy Chaucer on my lap. Lemme tell you, it was hard getting up this morning. I woke up at 4:22, missing my sleep mask. So I figured I might as well get up and start the day.

I got up turned on the coffee pot, and that’s when Chaucer wandered out to say good morning. I fed him, then quickly got dressed. I figured I had about 40 minutes before I had to start the Hot Mess. The car had a little trouble starting, but did fire up right away, which made my day.

Now I’m home, and I’ll probably fire up Persona 5 Royal in a few minutes. Unless Crystal is taking her hair off and then I’ll cut all the elastics and then play.

It’s a pretty good day so far even though I’ve only had one cup of coffee. But that’s ok.

Próspero año y felicidad (Ah-ha)

Good chilly morning from north of the wall. Yep, it’s that time again. The Flat is awake. Chaucer is on my lap, Pippin is in the window, and the Beautiful One is next to me on the couch, of course looking beautiful.

Work was, well, work. People came in and had the most perfect timing of as soon as I take off my coat, another would pull up, and I’d have to go back out into the arctic. Definitely not cool, yo.

It’s a day off here, and the next 3 days (4 if you include Monday), I’ll be opening at the store. Yep, up when it’s dark, and home in the early afternoon for the next few days.

Today is all about Persona 5 Royal. I brought home lunch and dinner last night. Crystal has gotten a little farther a head, so today will be the day that I catch up to her again. This system seems to work; she gets a head I catch up, and gets a little ahead, and Crystal pulls into the lead again. It’s a nice back and forth.

So yeah, that’s what’s happened. I need a refill, and I have to move Chaucer. Happy Wednesday y’all.

It’s a cool dark morning out there. Thankfully, I’m inside. I probably would’ve frozen to death if I was outside all night. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light. I don’t think I even moved, after I rolled over.

Work was a little slow yesterday. TinyTown was still kind of recovering from the weekend snow/freezing rain. So for most of the day, the highway was closed, and even when I left work, it was still listed as covered. That’s one step better than travel not recommended.

Back to work again this afternoon. Then I have Wednesday off. And for the rest of the week, including Saturday, I’m opening the store. Yay. I’ve spent the last two months almost exclusively closing, and now I’m starting to get more day shifts. I don’t like it. On one of those day shifts, I’ll talk with BossLady and see what her plan is. I don’t want any day shifts.

We’ll see.

Anyways, I’m out of words, and I’ll have to move a cat here pretty quickly. So, I believe it’s Tuesday, so viva la Tuesday!
