So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend

Good morning. The Beautiful One let me sleep. And sleep, and sleep. She’s a national treasure. I shall feed her a burger and possibly tots this evening as a thank you. The bed was so comfy, and warm when I was snuggled up against Crystal. it’s been a really nice weekend, but the weekend is slowly, slowly fading into the new work week.

Podrick was quickly locked out of the bedroom, and then Crystal kidnapped Pippin and brought her into the room with us, and miss Pippin got lots of snuggles for the hour that she was shut in with us. So that was nice to wake up and give Pippin some pets. She puts up with a lot when they’re both out in general population. She needs snuggle time with us.

We didn’t do a whole lot of anything this weekend, except watch a lot of wrestling. For the first time, SunmerSlam was two days. Yesterday, was day two. So, we watched it. The second nights matches were not as good as night one, in my opinion. So much so, that I was cooking while the matches were going. The first night, we paused it, last night though, we just let it run as I cooked.

I much preferred night one, over night two. The twist on night one, was better than the guy they brought out on night two. I’ve never watched the guy wrestle before, and I don’t really want to watch another semi-retired wrestler try to recapture whatever is missing from their life.

I go back to work tomorrow afternoon, so this is my last day of freedom, so to speak. What shenanigans will we get into today? Probably not too many, as today is Family Day in the province.

But first, coffee. Happy Monday y’all!

Let’s spend the night together from now until forever

After I pulled Podrick away from the blind cords, it sounded like he was throwing himself against the door like a little police officer trying to serve a warrant. He was so relentless, that the squad from Law & Order should be calling him to arrange an interview. Eventually he was let back in, and within minutes, The Beautiful One had to get up and out of the room to feed them, so I could sleep for another couple of minutes.

It was a big day here in TinyTown. It’s the annual Heritage Day. It’s a day of parades, food trucks, petting zoos, orbs, and of course, country music, and beer. We didn’t end up going. It’s gotten a little expensive with the cabaret being added onto the ticket. So we did our own thing. We watched the parade, and then managed to get some ground bison, and a block of Velveeta. for the rest of the afternoon, we were lazy. Crystal played Neir: Automata, and I tried to play Civ 7, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my phone. Civ has way too much information, and GTA is playable but difficult. I’ll probably uninstall them.

Then it was time for SummerSlam. I had a couple seconds of trouble trying to get it up and running, but a quick reboot of the Roku, and we were off to the races. We followed along with the WWE subreddit for a while, until it was time to start to cook, so I paused it, and The Beautiful One and I started to make our Nachos. I think we enjoyed the matches that they put on for night one. As we got our plates of nachos, I hit play, and we ignored the subreddit.

I thought that matches were pretty good. Some a little slower than others. Some were funnier than others. But finally it was time for the main event. CM Punk vs Gunther. It was a very slow, technical match. I enjoyed it as much as you can for a slow technical match.

Talking about cars and dreaming about women never had a plan just a living for the minute

THE WEEKEND IS HERE

Podrick started early this morning. So I got up and removed him from the bedroom, closing the door behind him. But don’t worry, dear readers, he made his own fun out in the living room. I have a large Medieval Times mug that has bottle caps in it. I heard a thump in the morning sometime. I prayed to myself that it wasn’t the TV, ( how could it? It was just a small thump in the grand scheme of things) so I rolled over and went back to sleep.

But every one of us is awake. Podrick is finally eating his breakfast. Pippin has already had hers. She’s either in the bedroom, or enjoying the sun on the table at the back door. They’re slowly starting to accept that the other one isn’t going anywhere, and they should probably start to get along. Sometimes it works, and sometimes they just fight.

It’s the towns festival today. The parade should be rolling by the Flat around 10:30 this morning. We were planning on going, but for both of us to go, it would cost $50 to get in, then we’d have to pay for food, and drinks at the party tonight. We can just save the money and have nachos tonight with some alcohol, and watch Summer Slam. So in a couple of hours, I’ll head up to the abattoir, and see if possibly they have ground moose, because I think that would make really yummy taco meat for the nachos.

Coffee first.

The cats are suspiciously quiet.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I learned a thing or two from Charlie, don’t you know? You better stay away from Copperhead Road

It’s my Friyay! Long weekend here we come. I’m all for a holiday on Monday. Shout out to whomever put the civic in civic holiday! Podrick was almost a perfect gentleman. He only started to do Podrick Things the last couple moments before I finally mumbled I’m awake, and lurching to my side to try and get myself vertical.

With it being a long weekend here, the town does its Heritage Day on Saturday. In order to get on to the grounds, it’s $50 for both of us. That also gets us into the cabaret in the evening. But all the events (other than the pre-teen rodeo) is geared toward kids. Last year and the year before you didn’t have to pay as much if you didn’t want to go to the cabaret, but I guess this year they just decided to put it in with the regular price.

So this weekend, it’ll be a sloth weekend. We’ll putter around the house, and I’ll annoy Crystal with all the wrestling this weekend. It’s a 2 day Summer Slam, there’s gonna be Smackdown from tonight, and on Monday, there’s Raw. still be a weekend of big sweaty men slapping meat.

Just got to complete the next level, and that means closing the store this evening. shouldn’t be too bad, I’ve done it twice previously this week. It’ll be just me and GenAlpha against the hoards of locals, and some tourists trying to wear down our defences.

So I’ll need coffee to mentally prepare myself, and a good base of food to strengthen myself for the battle that will be known as the Fight for Friday Night.

Happy August.

I’m untouchable, but I’m forcin’ you to feel me, word life, this is bas—, basic thugo— thugo—, thugonomics

Good morning everyone. It’s a bright and sunny day out there. The birds are singing, and the kittens aren’t at each other’s throats this morning. But I’m sure I hear some growling. Podrick was being Podrick very early this morning, and Crystal had to lock him out of the bedroom very early this morning.

Then, I swear, he was throwing himself at the door. Crystal said he was playing with the rug, but maybe, just maybe, it was Pippin finally taking charge, and throwing him against the wall. The door was closed, so we’ll never know if it was Pippin beating him up.

It’s quiet now.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. I’m sure it’ll be busier tonight, and I’m already telling myself that it’ll be busier tonight. No two nights are the same. It wasn’t slow last night, but it’s usually busier than we had. The weekend is slowly getting closer. Like I believe I said yesterday, Monday is a civic holiday, so I’ll have a three day weekend.

But first coffee.
