Under and beneath the longest unzipping of my life

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning y’all. It’s bright and sunny, and Pippin has kitty tv. She was already sitting on her table when I stumbled out of bed. She’s currently tracking a couple of birds out in the back 40. She’s chirping and telling Crystal all about it.

It looks like it’ll be a nice day out there.

I slept like the dead last night. Pretty much as soon as I put my mask on, turned out the light, and climbed into bed I was out. I don’t think I moved at all. My back is still a little stiff, but I don’t think my neck hurts too bad anymore.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. I filled some propane tanks while there was a few of us in the shop. That killed a couple of minutes. But for the most part, it was a normal day with a couple of rushes.

I’m just looking forward to the weekend, and I won’t have to move or do anything I don’t want to. We’ll probably be having a Hunger Games marathon this weekend, so that’ll be fun!

Ugh, morning everyone. It’s a gray morning here, but it doesn’t look too windy. The weather is gonna change, temp wise. It should be happening tomorrow. But right now, gray. It drizzled yesterday here. It smelled so good after the rain stopped. It smelled clean and just like spring.

I got the call yesterday, and left for work early. The vet had Chaucer back. So I went to pick him up. I knew exactly where I wanted to put him when we got home. He’s currently nestled in between the plants facing the sun.

Yesterday, at work was pretty much a shit-show. The part timer that I was supposed to work with called out hours before he was supposed to come in. Too close to the shift to find anyone. If this kid would’ve called out when he told his parents he wasn’t going to school. It would’ve been fine! But nope it was confusion for hours, and BossLady came in for the longest three hours of my life lol.

Let’s just say, a lot of cleaning got done.

Coffee.

Coffee and contemplation.

We’re getting closer to the weekend. Woot!

If I did my math correctly, this should be post 1700 🎉

Good morning, the sun is shining. I opened the back door for the tiny Pippin, and as I’m getting my coffee, I hear a racket that involved kitty paws and banging and slapping. I turn around and, see a tabby cat smacking the window right in front of Pippin. Pippin, whose tail when fluffed, looks small and stumpy. It’s very cute.

I was up at the ass crack of dawn to go to work on a mid shift. It was very quiet at work. Sure there’s the regulars going to work. But to have three people when it’s not busy, just makes for a very long day. But I survived, and made my way to Shady Acres to help my dad with “one quick thing”. The one quick thing took just about an hour. But it’s done now.

The afternoon was nice at home. My back and neck were very stiff, so I cooked dinner, and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening slothing out on the couch. The neck and back are still saying hello I’m right here. I won’t let you forget about us! I’ll have a hot shower this morning, and fire back some Advil.

Back to work for the rest of the week. Closing shift. One bonus for this week. I’m only working the weekdays. That’s a bit of a bonus. I’ll have a weekend off, and I won’t have to go to SlightlyBiggerTown town this weekend. I can sloth out.

Big congrats to Crystal on getting the black deck on Balatro! Kick ass!

Yep, I’m awake early. I have a mid shift today. And I’ve been up on and off since probably around 3 or 4. The earliest I was up was around 1:30ish. It wasn’t a bad sleep. When I was asleep it was a great one. But before I went to bed last night, my neck was starting to stiffen up.

It’s all the way stiff now.

And, I’d wake up every time I moved or rolled over. So I have a little less field of vision right now until I’m up and about for a while. It’ll loosen up. But I already know, not enough. Pippin screamed a little, but she’s on my lap snuggled in.

I need more coffee.

So yeah, happy Monday everyone!
