Something Different – Downton Abbey

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds! I’ll be honest, right off the bat. I haven’t read a page this week, and instead of fluffing up a Book Club post, I figured I’d just tell you about the show I’ve been watching instead.

I am truly loving Plain Bad Heroines. I really am, but I’ve gotten in the groove of after supper, just watching an episode of Downton Abbey. It relaxes me to be thrust into 1920s high society. And it’s just enough time for an episode (not the season premieres or the finales, but the 2 or 3 regular episodes) to get a spoon or two back for the day, then I call the Beautiful One. The cares of the day fade away.

My ringtone is the theme song.

I love this show. I don’t know why. I’m very happy that I was able to finally find it digitally. I can’t even remember how I found the CBC Gem app, but I’m so happy I did. It is laughable that if I watch an episode on my phone, I get commercials. If I cast it, I don’t. Well that’s not true, one episode I got a total of 4 commercials, and the episode I watched last night, I got a random Downy commercial.

I just started season 3. (Again, I’ve seen the whole series twice now, this is my third viewing of it.) It’s something I look forward to each night. it’s a nice day to just wind down. And I can just lay there. Next week, I’m thinking that I’ll watch an episode one night, read the next. That way I get the best of both. I have missed reading this last week, but I’ll get back into it!

So yeah, that’s how I spent the last week. No complaints. Gosh, it’s nice to talk about my likes. I tried at work when they asked what I did the night before, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said I watched Downton. So I’ve learned just just say I read it watched TV.

It’s easier that way!

Until next time, book nerds!

Turn on your receiver , I’m gonna lay it on the line

Good morning. It’s a cool, bright morning here. Coffee is brewing and I’m slowly waking up. I’m sorry if this is gonna be short or feel disjointed but like I said, I’m struggling to put words together this am.

I got a text early this morning. The chair that I took the final payment on yesterday, was the wrong chair. I screwed up somewhere, so I’m gonna head into work, probably this morning before lunch to figure out where I screwed up, and to find the actual chair. I feel terrible about screwing this up. The BossLady says not to worry about it, the customer understands.

I’ll make it right, as fast as possible for them.

Ok, coffee is done brewing. It’s Sunday, and it’s going to be a good day!

I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night

This is the first time in a long long time that I’m up after Crystal has gone to bed. It’s our date night and we made it through one episode of Ozark, and she said she would t be able to stay awake for the next one. So we shut it off.

Her tummy was bothering here and she was really tired. I think it’s just the stress of what’s to come. It’s making her not sleep well.

I’m still worried.

I can’t do anything from up here. Nothing. Just words.

So I finished my episode of Downton Abbey and now it’s time to go out and have some devils cabbage, and go to sleep.

Oh god, I hope she has a good sleep. I miss her so much. Sleep well my love, I’ll talk to you in the morning. I love you so much ❤️

Sleep well.

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole

I must have been cold last night, because I was trying, unsuccessfully to burrito last night. I fell right asleep. I only woke up once last night to pee. I was really warm when I woke up, so when I came back from the bathroom, I turned down my bed. That was a mistake. Only because I was cold when I woke up.

I was having weird dreams this morning. I was some where,and they were pairing guys up as roommates. I think it was a jail or something I’m not sure. it was weird because I don’t think I was under arrest, it was bizarre. The scenes shifted so much. I was in a long line of traffic, because of a car accident, and there was a detour.

Odd. Very odd.

I got the second bank draft and mailed it the the US consulate in CapitalCityNextProvinceOver, so hopefully, HOPEFULLY, I get the paperwork back by the middle/end of next week so I can get it in the system to Rhode Island. Everyone is waiting on me and the paperwork. No pressure at all, right?

Coffee.

But I’m up, and dressed ready, mostly for the day. It’s only until 2 today. That’s good. BossLady will be there sometime today. She’s supposed to be on her way out of TinyTown for like a week, and she pushed it back a day. That day just happens to be my Saturday. That’s ok. I’ll get through it.

But lemme suck back some coffee and start the day. Enjoy the Saturday!

We’ll be fallin’ in love in the middle of the night

We made it everyone. My friends, Romans, countrymen, and Ted Cruz, who made a trip to Mexico with his daughters. It’s warming up a little out there. And, before I forget, it’s Friyay! Woohoo! Hap hap happy Friday! This should be Crystals last Friday in RI.

While it’s Friday, I’m working tomorrow. Then I’ll be able to sleep it. I feel pretty bad because the house sale is waiting on me and my paperwork. And I’m waiting for the paperwork from the US Consulate General in CapitalCityNextProvinceOver. I explained it to our agent yesterday –

FYI I’m waiting for the consulate. It was a gamble with their pricing, and I lost I ordered another bank draft, and it’ll be here Friday then I can mail it to the consulate and then they can mail the paperwork back to me. Then it’ll be a 2.5 hour drive to take it to fedex location to be sent to the lawyers office.

Said by me, yesterday

Yeah. I hope it’ll be busier tomorrow. I know I have at least 1 person coming in – for a chair they ordered, they just have to pay the remaining balance, and snap, bobs your uncle, they’ll have a new chair.

But right now: coffee

Happy Friday y’all 🙂
