And love is only one fine star away

Well we’re almost there! What day is it? That’s right, it’s HUMP DAY! I woke up this morning, and the snow is still on the ground. I was hoping it was a fever dream or something. But, alas (earwax), it was not.

I just heard a riveting story on how my grandmother found a pair of gloves on the sidewalk in front of her retirement condo, and put up notices and talked to just about everyone in the building, and no one said they lost a pair. So she kept them. And still has them. And, fun fact, is wearing them today.

Her and my mom are currently at the medical clinic for them to get some blood drawn I think. They’ll be back in about a half hour. But until then, sweet silence. Just me, my coffee, and the local morning news.

I’m in the final stretch of The Historian. It’s getting good, and there’s a chance that I won’t make the third Book Club, because I’ll be done. I think I have about 250 pages left.

Just a quick book haul. I’m bleeding the local second hand stores of their good books. It’s starting to be slim pickings – which is a good thing, because I have a few books in a pile to read.

I plan on when I’m finished with The Historian to offer up the next book to read (and book club) to you guys. But that’s another post entirely.

Anyways, here’s the book haul 🙂

Hap hap happy Tuesday. I barely heard my alarm this morning. It had been going off for a minute when I thought I heard something, and rolled over.

It’s gray out there, and like I said the snow is starting to stick. At least on the trucks in the driveway. I dislike winter, and I have a love/hate relationship with the snow.

Coffee should be ready to consume now.

And as far as I know there’s no plans for anything here at Shady Acres – I’ll probably pop over to the second hand store when it opens. If it hasn’t gotten any warmer, I’ll take the truck.

Current temp: -3c with the wind it feels like -9. Our high today is -1.

Now I know your heart, I know your mind

Greeting from SlightlyBiggerTown. I had to drop my moms car off for repairs. I told them I was told I’d have a courtesy car, they gave me an Escape. They’ve gotten smaller since I own one. It’s like a small car now, not a tiny SUV.

I get in, see that there’s navigation. I put in the address for Tim Hortons, and punch it in. 1.2 km later, I’m sitting in it, literally across from the dealership. It was hidden by another building.

Now I have some coffee, and now I just have to wait for the truck to have the repairs done. I’ll be checking out places that are hiring.

But first coffee.

For a pocket full of mumbles

Let’s try this again. I’m awake, it’s if you can believe it, bright and cloudy. And cold out there again. The snow had finally stopped. Thankfully, nothing stuck. Hopefully it’ll warm up by noon so I can get out of the house for a few and go for a walk.

I either slept really good, or I tossed and turned all night. I couldn’t tell you. I either had bad dreams or I didn’t. I can’t remember them. Either way I don’t feel rested, and I’m snappy today.

I don’t know what the plan is for today, it seems like everyone here are like ferrets, sleeping for most of the day. My dad will get up for lunch then when Shady Acres goes for a nap, he’ll sleep until 3 or 4. My grandmother was up shortly after me because she has to take a pill. Once a week. She has to make a big deal about this and parade out to get a glass of water, point out obvious things like where the cats are sleeping. Just get water and go do your thing. I don’t need play by play. I’ve been up for 5 minutes I don’t want to talk to anyone.

I wish I was with Crystal.

Happy Sunday everyone!
