It’s bright and sunny out there this morning, and I believe we should be seeing positive temperatures today. Hopefully, just a little bit of this snow will melt.

Good morning everyone. I think I slept through the night – without getting up to go to the bathroom. I mean I don’t remember getting up in the night, so I’ll take it.

Nothing much happened at work yesterday. Nice quiet start to the week. I blinked and the day was done.

I mailed out some paperwork down to Crystal. It should make it there in about a week. Fingers crossed.

But for right now on this sunny day, it’s coffee and news time. Yay coffee!

Good morning everyone! We survived the holiday weekend! Who’s ready to go back to the real world. On one hand, I am. On the other, I really enjoyed this weekend. And would love just one more day. But it’s a short week, so I only have to survive 4 shifts, then I can kick back and enjoy the weekend that’s slowly coming.

Yesterday was nice and relaxing. I didn’t do a whole lot of anything. I didn’t think of work or anything work related. I just watched Critical Role all day. It’s amazing how attached you can get to these characters and the voice actors playing them.

I got up a couple of times in the night. Once because I really had to pee. Simple. Up, get to the bathroom, do my business, and boom back in the room, asleep. At 6, I rolled over and was wide awake. My knee decided it didn’t want to bend. So I fought to get out of bed, limped to the bathroom and then went back to bed for another hour.

Were expecting snow again today. Winter is really fighting to stay relevant. It’s quite sad at this point. JUST LET SPRING HAPPEN.

But right now, local news, and coffee. I know it’s Tuesday, but Tuesdays always feel like Monday’s. Happy Tuesday everyone!

Too many cooks are gonna spoil the stew there ain’t nobody cooking but me and you

Hey motherphuckers, I just wanted to drop this quick note. I overheard my mom talking to my uncle last night as they were doing dishes –

“You see, Crystal is more of a cook by feel. Whatever looks and tastes good, is how she cooks.”

“Eddie follows the directions – he measures everything exactly.”

Not today. Get this:

I was making hashbrowns for brunch today. Randomly putting some spices in. Then on the spur of the moment scrambled the eggs, and threw them in with the hashbrowns.

Pretty crazy huh?

But wait. Wait, there’s more.

Added

Cheese.

That’s right people, I put something that I never put into hashbrowns.

Boom. Mike drop.

I’ll make you mine, you know I’ll take you to the top I’ll drive you crazy

Good morning my friends. I was up a little early today. I tried to roll over, and was introduced to something that hasn’t happened in a while – my knee decided to lock up. So gingerly, I got out of bed and walk/limped to the bathroom. By the time I sat down, it was fine so I just got up and turned (turnt) on the coffee.

So let’s greet the day, shall we?

My aunt and uncle are heading back from whence they came this morning. It was great to see them again. I haven’t seen my uncle since we came up years ago for Christmas.

And they can say it was a good trip, Saturday, I took them to the weed store. It was their first time ever in a legal store. I bought my vape cart, and they ended up getting a basic vape and cart as well!

Today, I don’t plan on leaving the flat. There’s no place that I need to be or to go. I think I’ll have to leave once, just to return my moms truck. I think that I’ll probably do that while Shady Acres is down for their afternoon nap.

But right now, I’m just waking up, and doing my normal morning wake up routine. Coffee for everyone!

It’s looking a lot like Christmas out there. It’s lightly snowing again, and is supposed to snow for the rest of the day. But it’s not Christmas time, it’s Easter. How will the Easter bunny find my place and drop off chocolate for me?

Spoiler alert: he didn’t find me. No chocolate for me today. Just coffee. Which is very yummy today. Soon I’ll start the laundry, and get out there and shovel the walk.

But since it’s Easter, I’ll be heading up to Shady Acres, probably a little earlier than normal, I have to help make homemade pasta. My aunt has requested help so she can bring some home with her.

But before all that, I have chores to do.

CHORES DAY

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!
