Now I’ve gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

I slept like the dead. Around 5ish, the dead rose. I quietly walked and went to the bathroom. I gave Podrick some snuggles while I sat. He left shortly after, and I crawled back into bed. Someone in the night, can into the bedroom, and quickly slid my sleep mask off me, and threw it on the floor. Some when I got back into bed I had to improvise.

I just texted my mom and told her that I’ll be over after work on Saturday to clean the stove and get it ready to be fired up. I just don’t have the energy today to climb up on the roof today. Just waiting for her response. It looks like I’ll be heading over Saturday.

So I don’t plan on doing fuck all for today.

Coffee.

Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin’ sound

Good morning my friends. It’s another day, north of the wall. Just looking outside, all the snow is gone. It still looks a little breezy out there.

Yesterday, while a work, an old coworker came in. She’s a little, you know, special. She’s odd to put it nicely. She asked me what was wrong, and I replied, I’m sick, I’ve been sick for a week. She then asks, why am I sick. That set the tone for stupid questions yesterday. And set the tone for my mood for the rest of the day.

Lest just say, I was very happy that we were only open until 6 last night. We both almost ran the fuck away from the store. And we’re back at it this afternoon. Same crew, same store. Let’s goooooo!

But first, coffee. Then a nice hawt shower. Then work.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Hey everyone, happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a great holiday.

I slept like the dead. Last night, Crystal was coughing a lot, so she said she was going to go and sleep on the couch, so I could get a good sleep. I tucked her in a couple of minutes later, then crawled into an empty bed, and just before I closed my eyes, I reached to the floor, and turned on the bed to 1.

I don’t think I moved. I woke up in the exact same position as i fell asleep in. That doesn’t happen too often. I’m just a little stiff.

But we’re awake, and the coffees been brewed. I have work this morning. it’ll probably be a bit of a busy day. There’s always people moving or driving somewhere. I can really remember, as it’s been a while since I worked an actual holiday.

So yeah, happy Monday the 13th. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope all y’all have a really good day.

‘Cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe

We awoke to the sound of an idiot.

Podrick is just fine after two beautiful days of having a quiet mellow kitty. He’s back to us usual shenanigans. He’s back, and he’s more of an asshole! Yay.

It doesn’t help that is head is tiny. He’s totally pear shaped. His badonkadonk is outrageously large. He’s like someone Sir Mix A Lot would sing about.

I didn’t do shit after getting home yesterday afternoon. The Beautiful One was in bed sleeping. So I gave her a kiss and let her sleep. Behind her in the nest, there was baby boy, curled up beside her. See he’s been sneezing nonstop for the last couple of days, and has just slept. So Podrick has 3 days of saved up energy.

So while I sat on the couch, I hacked into Crystal’s Chromebook, and then hacked into her WordPress. With a whispered, “I’m in.” I was in. I had access to all of her systems. But I’m a hacker, a ghost. I do what I want, and leave no trace. But this time, I did leave a trace – I made a post on her site. You may have seen it, and you were totes fooled huh? I knew it. It’s really a gift. The power to slide in and out of various systems with no one knowing.

I am a god.

Afterwards, I opened up Balatro, and carried on with a fan I was playing about a week back. Well, Past Shawshank didn’t know how to the play the game, and by round 8, I upgraded Flush to level 1. What?so after that game, I vowed to do better. And better I did.

Once Crystal got up, and snuggled onto the couch, I put on Crown Jewel for us to watch. I saved it, because I know there were some wrestlers that Crystal enjoys, so I knew she wanted to watch. We were both sports entertained.

We showered multiple times. The fever clawing and holding on for dear life. After a quick meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup (just a little soup for Crystal), we watched some episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Then some TikTok’s and then the sweet release of sleep.

Here we are. In a few hours, we’ll head over to Shady Acres for Thanksgiving dinner. It’s been raining out, so I don’t think I’ll be going on the roof today.

More coffee please!!

Nobody’s gonna mess me around

Well that sleep sucked ass.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was wide awake. I looked at the clock, and it was 11:14. The next time I looked at the clock, it was 2. Then 3, then 3:40am. I finally fall asleep, and the alarm goes off.

It’s like it was 3 days ago, without all the sweating. And even better, I’ve passed the sick on to Crystal. I’m sure she’s having a worse sleep than I did. Podrick as well, I could hear him sneezing all night. Poor little guy.

So I get up, get dressed, and fed the cats, and of course Pippin wants nothing to do with food. So hers is in the cupboard until Crystal wakes up.

Back to work this morning. Early shift, then home. I might do the laundry when I get home. I really really need to wash the sheets to maybe get the taint of sick off of us.

But right now, coffee. And Advil. Happy Saturday y’all.
