Who was gonna be, who would be first to kiss
Under those patio lanterns

I’m awake, I’m awake. I woke up believing that it was Wednesday.

It is not Wednesday.

But that’s ok. The coffee is brewing.

The wind outside is still wicked. I’ll probably be driving in today. Yes, yes I know. I’m literally a block and a half away from work. The driving in was Mom’s idea.

I don’t have a lot of anything else to talk about this morning, so I won’t overstay my welcome. Have an awesome Tuesday everyone! Shawshank, out!

Show me your bookcase(s)

So I just had to get out of Shady Acres for a while. I was going stir crazy. My mom yelled at my gramma because she’s not walking. She’ll get up in the morning, walk to the kitchen. Make breakfast. Sit for 2 hours playing in her iPad. Get up, and then walk to the living and sit there for hours. She puts all her weight on her walker. She has no balance. So today, she listened to my mom when she said if you don’t walk, you get a wheel chair, and if you get a wheel chair, you have to go into a home because I cannot lift you. So my gramma walked today. Well more like pacing. She’s get up from the kitchen, walk to stand behind my seat. Stand there for two minutes and talk back into the kitchen. By the time they left today, my anxiety level was through the roof.

So I drove down to The Flat. I have a couple of sweaters in the washer. It’s not that I don’t trust my mom, but she doesn’t wash in cold water, which is what the sweaters need to be washed in. As far as she’s concerned, the dryer has one setting – perma press. I’m pretty sure she shrunk my work sweatshirt. It was small to begin with on me.

But I digress.

Anyways, the reason for this post BOOKCASES! As most of you know, I’m 99% of the way moved into The Flat. I wanna show you my bookcases, in hopes you’ll share some of yours with me!

The Flat came with a built in, which by the way is totes full, and my mom donated my grammas bookcase, which is almost full. My gramma donated my grandfathers collection of Zane Grey novels (not gonna do a book haul on those!), so they’re on display. When I’m fully moved in, I’ll organize the books to my liking. But for now, here ya go!!

Think I’ll slip on down to the oasis

Good morning everyone! I believe the weather here is going to be a shit show. We’ve already hit our high for the day, and according to my weather app, the snow should be starting around 6 tonight. I’ll believe it when it starts to snow, though.

I slept pretty ok last night. Tossy turny, but that’s because I’m on a day bed, and I think I follow the blankets that were sliding off the bed. It was ok. I think I feel rested. We’ll see.

Not too much on tap today. My mom and gramma are heading to SlightlyBiggerTown to have some service done on my dads truck. I’ll probably head over to the flat and read for a while.

I have some coffee, and now I’ll start the wake up process. I hope that today will be a great day for everyone. Happy Monday y’all.

Book club – Update.

Ok, I know I’ve stopped reading, but I have a really good excuse. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been moving. I’ll be 100% moved in on Thursday the first of April.

So that means, I’ll be able to start up the Lockup Library Book Club right where we left off. In fact, I kinda jumped in right where I left off the day before yesterday.

It’s been a while, so I’m still getting up to speed from where I left off. Have y’all still been reading? I feel guilty for not reading. However, one of the first loads I took were all my books. But a couple of days ago, before work, and with a cup of coffee, I dived back in.

It’s gonna be nice to just sit down in the mornings, and read for a little bit.

So bear with me book nerds! I will return!!

So hip to be square

Guten Morgen. It’s Sunday. My last Sunday waking up at Shady Acres. I’m still kinda really excited.

It’ll be a busy week for sure. Finish moving in on Thursday. The internet guy will be there sometime on Thursday as well. Maybe, it time permits, I’ll head over to the thrift store in the afternoon. Saturday, I plan on going into BiggerTown to do my shopping, and to find my gramma a birthday card, as it’ll be her birthday on Sunday.

But today is today, and let’s get through this one day at a time! Today I only have one chore to do – clean the stove.

Right now, it’s coffee and FBI time on a channel called Showcase. Happy Sunday y’all.
