Straightening the curves, yeah flattenin’ the hills

Podrick was a very good boy this morning, and let us (probably just me) sleep to our normal wake up time. Now, he’s annoying Pippin. So all is right in his little world. It’s a gray, chilly morning out there today. Hopefully, it warms up a little as the day goes on. It truly feels like it’s fall.

It was a very lazy day yesterday. I got a text from my mom saying that we could switch trucks as soon as I finished vacuuming the apartment. So that’s when we got up, and vacuumed, then Crystal wrapped part of the cat tree with sisal, and I went and switched out trucks, and stopped to get some egg noodles for the pork curry for dinner.

After dinner, we watched Raw. It was like a continuation of Evolution. It was great. The first three matches were women’s matches. It look I think, and hour, to have the first male wrestler come out to wrestle. Afterwards, we played some Balatro. Crystal on the Switch, and me on my phone. It was a really nice relaxing evening.

Back to work this afternoon. Let’s gooooo! But before all that going, there needs to be coffee. Let the coffee flow!

Here’s your ticket, pack your bags time for jumpin’ overboard

Good morning everyone. Podrick was so excited for the day, he was up wicked early. Then he wanted is to get up. I finally understand how my parents felt on Christmas Day, when I’d burst into their room at some ungodly hour. Point taken, fam. No cap.

Before we went over to Shady Acres, I made a lovely brunch for us. I did the laundry the day before in an effort to stay awake, so it was a nice relaxing day here. I played some Balatro on the new deck I unlocked on the white stakes. I didn’t unlock a new deck, but it was a fun run for sure. I moved back to a different deck to try black stakes. I got introduced to forever jokers. The black stakes are still a work in progress.

I took some allergy pills, because I was tasked to mow the back 40 for my parents. I reminded my mom that I was going to be mowing, my dad took it upon himself to push out the ride-on mower and get the battery charged. It’s been a while since I mowed last, and about 2 weeks after when I wanted to mow. The grass was about 4ish feet tall. I did countless circles. When the grass was gone, I grabbed the weed whacker and did the edges.

After we got back from Shady Acres, we fed the kittens, and then settled down to watch WWE Evolution – the all women’s pay-per-view. Let me tell you that it really surpassed the men’s matches. Very few mistakes or gaffs. They kicked some serious ass. And there were more than a few total surprises. I’m sure there will be some fallout on Raw tonight.

It’s bright and sunny out there, so while Pippin was eating her breakfast, and in between making sure Podrick wouldn’t jump up onto the table to steal her food, I opened the back door, and then the front door. Then back to guard duty. Crystal took the Rick of Pods into the bathroom while Pippin finished her breakfast.

Work yesterday morning was slow as balls, but surprisingly, the morning went by really quick. Before we knew it, the next shift was there and ready to work. Woohoo, time to go! I stop and get the mail, and head back to The Flat. Podrick, inspired me to do the dishes, and clean up some of his toys while I watched the Great American Bash on Netflix. Crystal and I made fun of the wrestlers,

I cooked burgers and tots for dinner. And discovered that there is a way to watch Saturday Nights Main Event. It’s on NBC in the states, but the WWE puts it on YouTube for the rest of us heathens. It was pretty good minus the fact that there’s a commercial every couple of minutes – it’s usually about a 3-4 minute commercial. In the middle of wrestling matches. Crazy.

We’ll be heading to shady Acres this afternoon. I’ll be popping some allergy pills, and hopefully getting the riding lawnmower started, and then I’ll be mowing the back 40 for my parents. It’s past due for its two mowings a summer. In my defense, it has been a rainy summer so far.

Then, guess what? More wrestling! I’m pretty sure The Beautiful One will be getting tired of wrestling, but this should be a pretty good PPV – it’s an all women’s show! Evolution 2 will be on tonight. So we’ll start watching that a little late, cause we’ll probably be eating at the time.

Psst … Raw is tomorrow too. lol

I’m gonna tell you bout a beat, that’s gonna make you move your feet

Good afternoon, bitches. Finally home. I was up at the ass-crack of dawn, so I could be at work at o’dark thirty to open up the shop. My coworker was late, because he thought we opened at 10am. Technically, he was only 5 minutes late.

I got the store open very quickly – before he even got there. Once he was there I did the extra jobs that need to get done on Saturday mornings, and then suddenly, we were open.

Nothing.

Finally, some people showed up and it was pretty much people coming in and out all morning. But, it was a very slow morning. We cleaned a little, put some stock out and did all the things that are required to keep a store running smoothly.

Oh, I beat another deck yesterday! And then unlocked a brand new deck. New things for this deck means I have to change up my strategy. No problemo. I got this. Later, cause wrestling is on right now.

I’m a winner!

So it was a combination of things this morning that caused me to be up at the ass-crack of dawn. I couldn’t breathe, my nose was leaking, Podrick, I was very warm, Podrick, I lost my mask, I couldn’t get comfortable and breathe at the same time. You know, the usual stuff. Oh, and Podrick. Yeah for the most part, Podrick is a morning cat. I don’t know what caused him to be up so early. It was probably me getting up and flailing looking for my mask, then getting up and going to the bathroom probably did it. Hopefully Pippin starts to beat the shit out of Podrick more and more, because him running this house isn’t natural.

So yeah, happy day off! Let’s get up as early as fucking possible, so tomorrow, I can once again get up at the ass-crack of dawn to go to work. It’s gonna be fucking awesome! Woohoo! But we have coffee, and in like 4ish hours, we’ll head out to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. and to get away from the orange menace for just a little while. I made the shopping list last night at work, and while The Beautiful One puts on makeup, I’ll pop up to work to get what I can with my discount.

I think we have Podrick engaged with something now – soda cap. He loves those. Happy friyay all!
