And the days go by, like a strand in the wind

Posted on by Shawshank

A pretty solid sleep. Like I just told Crystal, I was only up once, and the. Right back to sleep. And I don’t feel too groggy this morning.

That’s a good thing.

The coffee is brewing.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Went to BiggerTown. I didn’t have a lot of money for Walmart, so I was an adult, and bought stuff that I’ll need in the future. Like coffee, body wash, etc.

I’m proud of myself. Both my mom and my gramma said if there was anything that I wanted my mom said that she’d get it and I could pay her back. My gramma said if I saw anything that I wanted, it could be my birthday present.

There’s was nothing that jumped out at me. And that’s ok.

It’s my short work week, and I’m thinking that maybe I’ll do some grocery shopping on Saturday instead of Monday. I usually go on a Monday because I can go into the second hand store. There hasn’t been anything good there for a couple of weeks.

But the coffee is ready. So let’s start today. Let’s have a great day everyone!

Book club – The Fifty Year Sword

Posted on by Shawshank

Hello book nerds! The masses have spoken, and yesterday I started The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Z. Danielewski.

Let me tell you I’m throughly confused so far. In House of Leaves, there were only a few different stories to read at once. In Sword, from what I can tell, there’s 5 different “voices” – made plain by different coloured quotation marks. So while I know the “just” of the story, I’m only 23 pages in, and I really have no clue what’s going on!

And I know that I said that I’d talk about the first chapter, but I’m pretty sure that there’s no chapters in this book. But I think that I’m enjoying it!

If you change your mind
I’m the first in line

Sup bitches, it’s everyone’s favourite day – Monday. Today, I’m up with a mission: drive to BiggerTown, with my mom and gramma. Mom has to pick up the heavier stuff, like cat litter, and flour, etc. I’ll be leaving here in about two hours.

It’s a beautiful day out there. Looks like it’ll be a good day for a drive. I’m kind of looking forward to it, and getting out of the house for a few hours.

I slept like the dead last night. Thankfully. I was pretty tired last night, so when I got into my bed, I pretty much just melted into it and fell asleep right away.

Coffee is ready now, so I’m going to pop off and start to wake up. I hope y’all have a really good Monday. It’s pretty much the best day of the week. Have a kick ass day!

Book club – Choose your own adventure

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning book nerds! I said I’d post about which book to read next, and here it is! I’m posting early, in hopes that this post will get shared, and commented on. Tomorrow, I’ll post the results and I’ll talk about the first chapter of which ever book you guys and gals decide for me!

I think this will be fun, and I hope for maximum audience participation! So reshare, and comment my beautiful book nerds!

So without further adieu, I present the three books fighting to be read first. So here’s the deal. The book with the most votes, I’ll read first, next, second, and so forth. Fun!

So, vote early, vote often, just like in the US elections! I can’t wait to see what y’all decide! Until tomorrow, book nerds!

We’re thrashing hotels like it’s going out of style

I awoke with a fright at 5:47am. I could’ve sworn that some one was knocking on my door. So I get up, dressed and go to the back door. No one. Check the front. No one. Get undressed and climb back into bed. Fight to go back to sleep while trying not to relive the last time someone knocked on my door. Jump when the alarm goes off.

Happy Sunday everyone

Let’s hope the rest of the day is better than how it started.

I hope the coffee brews fast. But I can’t rush how fast it goes.

Today is chore day, before going over to Shady Acres for dinner. So that will keep me busy for about a half hour. My heart is still pumping fast. Ok, I’m gonna go now.
