World was in black and white until I saw your light

We’re all awake here. I don’t know where the cats are. But it’s quiet. Almost too quiet. Should I play the where’s the kittens? Or should I just let them do what they need to do. Hell, maybe they’re snuggled up on the back table in a sunbeam. update: Podrick is talking to himself, and I think he’s hanging out in the bathtub. As one does. You don’t? Well, you’re totes not in the know.

Allergies gone wild

It’s been hazy the last couple of days. We have two provinces, plus us on fire right now. We’re under a wildfire state of emergency. And the air quality isn’t all that great. Last night it looked like the Silent Hill fog was rolling in, but it was all wildfire smoke. welcome to spring in the prairies.

Today, we’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies. The list has been written, and slowly being updated. We’ll be taking the big truck for the first long drive. It looks like it’ll be a nice drive. It’s usually pretty clear and relatively smoke free in the morning. Yesterday, the wind really picked up, and by the time I was leaving work, the smoke was noticeable, and you could smell it. By the time we were coming back from dinner, it was very smokey.

So let’s get this day started. It’s time to get things started, it’s time to light the lights. Well, you know, after some more coffee, and a chance to wake up. I still don’t hear the cats. I think they’re getting a long just fine. Yep. They’re snuggled together and totally happy together. That’s what I’m telling myself.

They’re good babies.

Good morning. I have Pippin curled up on my chest, and Podrick is curled up by my ankles. He’s snuggling then chasing his tail. Now he’s further up my lap. They’re getting along so far. Pippin is relaxed and purring. So far Podrick is just relaxing and cleaning himself.

We went to the local high school last night, and watched the play that the grade 10, 11, and 12th grade art classes show. Lemme tell you they put on a really good show. I was entertained, and I couldn’t have done what they did. Good for them. And it was a full house. Only a couple of chairs were empty.

Up early today for a mid shift. But surprisingly enough, Podrick is slowly falling asleep on my lap, and Pippin is still up in my arms. Happy Friyay everyone!

But the beaver was quick and he grabbed him by the kiwis

We’re awake! The baby, and The Beautiful One let me sleep in. Podrick was just starting to chase his tail as I woke up. I had to up my defences this morning – I had to put up the canola dome, as well as the back up dome so he wouldn’t attack my face this morning.

The sun is up, and it looks a little breezy out there. But it’s sunny, and it looks like it’ll be a good day to do mostly nothing. It’s a day off for me, and just about the end of the week. Just a simple mid-shift tomorrow. We’ll blow through it, and hit the weekend running.

It will be a nice day today. We have a musical to go to at the local (and only school) high school this evening – so that should be fun. We’ve been talking about it at work for like a week now. Some of the actors used to work with me, so it’ll be neat to see them singing and dancing.

We’ll maybe even go to the second hand store.

I do know we’ll head to the tiny grocery store to figure out dinner for tonight, and for tomorrow.

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers

Awake with a small bundle of fur landing on your head. Awake! He snuggled me in the night. I woke up and he was curled up in a ball curled up against the back of my neck. Then sometime in the night I woke up and lifted the blanket and he snuggled for a minute, because the blankets were all messed up, I don’t think he could find a comfortable position.

Then I fell back asleep until this morning. He was just started to get rilled up, and tried to climb the tapestry a couple of times. So I figured it was time to wake up. Pippin is holding her own for the most part. Podrick can be a bit of an ass, and relentless when he chases her. I’ve told her that she can use claws. Hopefully, they’ll be able to get along. She’s not so bad when he’s getting tired and doesn’t move as fast.

I’m still getting used to driving the big truck. It’s not that bad. It’s just big. I have to park in a different place, as the truck is so long. But that’s ok, it’s my dad’s baby, where I park, I can keep an eye on it throughout the day.

Yesterday, King Charles made the speech from the throne. It was exactly what was needed. I really enjoyed the 30 minute speech. There’s some pretty cool things brewing in the government, that I’m sure will piss off most people in the area. The area we live in is very conservative. So yeah. I’m excited.
