I don’t wanna miss you like this

Posted on by Shawshank

Worst. Sleep. Ever. I was so stuffed up. I couldn’t breathe, except through my mouth. I just want to take a pencil to my sinuses, and stab them until they drain. Add on to that by tossing and turning all night, because I couldn’t breathe. Then I was hot. Then I was cold. Then I had to pee. I woke up this morning with one of my blankets in a literal ball on top of me.

So yeah. Coffee is needed right now, considering I have about 10 minutes before my gramma gets up, and exclaims oh it looks likes it going to be a nice day today! No gramma, it’s -3 right now, it’s not going to be a nice day. It’s cold and windy and I want to be sleeping. But I can’t so I’m up. I have a headaches and I’m going to be grouchy most of the day.

The actual answer I give her; yes it looks nice out there. Yes, I had a pretty good sleep, how about you? Oh that’s good, I’m glad you had a good sleep.

Last night, while waiting for Crystal to finish with her Poi, and then finishing her phone call with her mom, I decided to hook up the TV to the VHS player. It took a bit of time because I was trying to hook it through the switch that also hooks up the PS2, Xbox, N64, and the GameCube. That failed last night, and I have no remotes for the TV or VCR, but I managed to get it to work.

Ugh. Standard Definition.

So my next challenge I think will be to try and hook up the gaming systems. But later. It’s coffee time. later we’ll be going into SlightBiggerTown to do some grocery shopping. That that’s also later. I can hear my grandmother moving down the hall.

It’s show time!

Well you forgave and I won’t forget

Polka is life.

Like I said in my last post, I knew it would only take a couple of hours to clean the basement. About 6 to be exact. I turned on some tunes donned some gloves and went at it. Thankfully after about 20 minutes my mom gave up helping and left. I didn’t really feel like chatting as i did this. I respected them and didn’t play the music I wanted to.

But I’d say it’s pretty much clean down there. If I had the drive in me, I’d hook up the PlayStation 2, the Xbox, the GameCube, or the N64. Or the VHS player to play the 5 shelves of VHS tapes. There’s some classics down stairs.

Oh the picture that looks like a bed in the middle of the room, is a pool table, if you didn’t figure it out by the pool cues on the wall.

I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I have a headache. Why does Tuesday feel like a Monday? I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning.

That’s one of the classy VHS tapes. I started to organize them as I put them back on the bookcase, I gave up on the pretty quickly. I just put them back. I did take some pictures for C. I’ll sent them to her tonight. She’ll need the laugh after her day from hell.

Magic, madness, heaven, sin

It’s Tuesday. Yay. Only four more days until the weekend. You can make it. Excuse me for a second, I need to make some coffee. While I do that, practice your “this is gonna suck” smile. Get a pocket mirror. Practice. I’ll be right back.

I’m back. How’s that smile coming? Good, keep practicing. What’s the temp out there, you ask? Well, snuggle up! It’s currently -3c. And it feels like -7c out there. Yeah and the friggin birds are chirping out there.

I get to clean the basement this week, I’m sure I’ll have it done in a couple of hours. I’ve already told my dad I wouldn’t throw anything out unless he tells me too. That includes the bookcase full of VHS tapes, and that Sony MAVICA.

Got that smile ready? Let’s see it!

Perfect.

(How many teeth does she have jammed into her head?)

Baby, the best part of me is you

Shady Acres is asleep for right now. I’m sure when my dad wakes up, we’ll be doing his honey do list. There’s only a few more things to do on it, so that’s a good thing.

It’s grey, windy and cold. It’s supposed to get wicked cold tonight. I’ll be closing my window almost all the way tonight, I put an extra blanket on last night. I’m not used to this cold. I’m sitting here, with numb toes, cold hands, and a frozen nose. If I was a smart man, I should’ve bought fall/winter clothes when I first got down here, but I didn’t. So I’m starting to pay for it. As a last resort, I have a sweater that I can put on if needed.

What am I going to do when it gets even colder? We’ll find out!

And I really miss Crystal. On days like this we’d be curled up on the couch watching movies and drinking tea. It’s harder on the grey days. We both feel terribly alone. I try really hard not to think about stuff like this, because then I’d have to explain to my mom why I’m crying on her couch. I put on my smile and say I’m ok. I just keep looking out the window like I’m expecting Crystal to pull up and honk the horn. Each night I fall asleep with the dream of pulling up to her campground spot and her running toward me. I miss her so so much 😢

And I know she misses me just as much. I just love her more than anything in the whole world.

But still I’m just keeping it real still

Good morning! It’s a little crisp out there this morning. It’s labour day, and my dad is waiting for a part that he can’t get until tomorrow, so he’s home. I’m going to assume that we’ll finish off his list of stuff to do, but after his afternoon nap. So it’s most of the day wasted, waiting.

But I have coffee now, and that is a good thing for sure. Other than the chores later today, not too much going on. I’m up, dressed, and my bed is made. Ready to go hahaha.

I was telling Crystal last night, that it was deadly quiet outside, other than the wind. It was like being in a zombie movie. TinyTown rolls up the sidewalks at 6pm on the dot. On Sunday’s, on a long weekend, nothing is open. It was creepy and very very quiet.

So since nothings happening, I suggest you grab your favourite book and hunker down for a little. Relax, y’all deserve it!
