There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel – one in the park as well

Well, back home snowmageddon has happened, and Crystal is out shovelling the snow off the deck, and clearing a path to the back door. Also she’s cleaning the truck off. All before makeup. She’s just simply amazing. And badass. She’s an amazing badass.

Me? I slept like a rock. I had some dreams of Crystal and her poi, wake up to find she uploaded a video of her poiing outside after I left. Let’s see if my in dream outfit matches what she really wore. The two outfits did not match. The real outfit was way more weather appropriate.

That’s all I really have. I’m not quite awake yet. Thankfully, I got the title to the post last night so I had it googled yesterday before bed. And just think, it’s the day before the night before Saturday. It’s like, almost the weekend. After lunch you can call today Pre-Friday!

This is a simple one to do. But I like it. It’s just a wicked quick blurb and window into what’s going on here at the Lockup Library.

What are you currently reading?

I’m actually reading two books; Brave New World, and The Girl on The Train. I hope to have Brave New World finished soon.

What have you recently finished reading?

The last book I finished was Full Dark, No Stars. A book full of short stories by Stephen King. I really enjoyed them. Just enough meat on the plate to paint a picture, then boom! Next story.

What do you plan on reading next?

That’s a very good question. I usually crowd source what I read next from my readers, but I might snag a Christmas book from work. See the boss brought in boxes of books to donate to the library, and we’ve been taking the books that we want. There’s a Christmas mystery there that I might take and read. Or maybe Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I haven’t decided.

God rest ye merry gentleman – let nothing you dismay

Well hello there, dear reader. How’re you this fine Wednesday morning? What’s up? What’s the haps? I’m still not quite awake yet. I have my coffee, I’m dressed, I just need to wake up. Haha

So we’ll see if my coworker comes in today. Yesterday we walked in and told me she couldn’t feel half her face. She called, and then went to see her doctor. And then came back to work because the doctor didn’t specifically say she couldn’t not come back to work. But she did say she’d talk to BossLady and may or may not be in today. I’ll find out when/if she doesn’t come in today.

That was the excitement that happened yesterday. I don’t need that type of excitement!

Another damn fine cup of coffee. My complements to the chef.

Well I hope everyone has an excellent Wednesday. We’re almost to the weekend. You can do it. I believe in you!

Christmas in Rome

Posted on by Shawshank

This is the second post with the awesome new graphic from Crystal! I love it! I forgot to mention it on last Sunday’s post. It’s perfect for when I want to talk about what I’m watching on TV or Netflix.

So for the first ever Lockup Library Home Video. I present to you a Hallmark Channel first; a documentary on Christmas in Rome. I’ve never heard of a documentary on the Hallmark Channel. So I was excited to watch, and learn about Christmas in a different country.

Narrator: it was not a documentary on Christmas in Rome.

Welcome to Hallmark Channels Christmas in Rome. A quirky rom-com. Stating that chick from Mean Girls. In this alternate universe, fetch never happened, and she’s living in Rome as a tour guide. She gets fired and literally walks into low rent Captain America. Who’s in Rome to broker a take over deal for a factory. He hires her to show him around Rome. The fall for each other, then a miscommunication happens, then he fights to get her back.

Hallmark ending. Everyone is happy. Cue Christmas music.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer, and Vixen

Good morning. Happy second Monday. I was up before my alarm went off this morning. The weighted blanket had shifted. I must have been tossing and turning bad for it to almost be off the bed. I don’t remember. It did take me a while to fall asleep. Which is weird. I’m usually out like a light.

But today is a new day. It’s a good day, to have a good day. I tease Crystal about that, but I tell it to myself every morning, to help facilitate a good day. It usually works. So yes, today is a good day, to have a good day.

It’s warmed up a lot! It only feels like -16c out there with the wind chill. Without it -11c not too shabby. Thankfully, I have covfefe.

Happy 2nd Monday everyone! Let’s work hard and make this day feel like first Monday. But first Monday is a holiday, and you’re at home playing video games and eating chocolate chips straight out the bag. I love you.
