The song we sang on that fateful night: it didn’t actually sound anything like this song.

Here I am. I didn’t forget I promise. I just can’t form coherent thoughts at 5 in the morning, so I figured I’d just post when I got home from work.

Greetings from north of the wall. It’s freaking cold out there. The wind never seems to stop at work. I survived, but barely. I bought back snacks, and I’ll be having some of those snacks for lunch today.

Work wasn’t too bad today. With it just being busy enough so we didn’t fall asleep. We did the opening tasks and I did the environmental stuff that we have to do each Saturday.

Other than that, it’ll be a relaxing day as I try and warm up from being outside. I bought popcorn for movie night, the Beautiful One can have chips if she wants. Tomorrow, I’ll do the laundry and the other chores.

When the fuck is spring?

Keep it quiet, keep it tired, oh, somebody’s touching me

Fuck Trudeau man, fuuuuck him.

Well, he’s gone now, now who ya gonna blame?

Good Friyay morning everyone! For those of you that don’t work the weekend, woohoo! Ya made it to your rest days. For everyone else, hey maybe you’ll get a day off Saturday afternoon!

Work wasn’t too bad last night, just a little busier than the day before, but still pretty slow. We did some cleaning, and for the most part, just sat there and waited for customers to come.

But today is a day off for me, thankfully. It’s been a long week, but surprisingly the week has gone pretty quickly. We did a lot of the cleaning list, and a couple of days ago I filled the propane tanks while it was warm. And yesterday, the temp dropped. It was cool, but had a wicked wind that blew all night.

Now the trees are covered in hoarfrost, and honestly when you’re driving, it looks like a Christmas town from a hallmark movie. It’s really pretty.

Oh, when I’m like this, you’re the one I trust

I’m awake. The bed was way too snuggly this morning, especially when I look outside, and the wind is blowing. It’s looks absolutely nasty out there. Hopefully, the wind will have died down by the time I have to go into work.

Work was wicked slow yesterday for some reason. We found out the reason at ten minutes before we closed: hockey. No one really came in, because everyone was at the rink watching the good ol hockey game. But it gave us a chance to get the shop looking nice and clean.

A little extra cleaning right before we walked out was also done, so the shop looked its best when BossLady came into open this morning. Hopefully it was a perfect night.

But we’re up. I got up sometime in the night to go to the bathroom. I had the old man come in and say hi to me. So I gave him some loves and I shuffled back to bed. I was a little warm so I took off my t-shirt and fell very quickly back to sleep.

I have to remember when I get up to take out the chicken wings from the freezer for dinner tomorrow. The problem; I have two cats on my legs. Solution; I need more coffee, I’ll get them up.

Have a great day, dear readers!

The Express Lane! But they don’t take checks

Good morning my friends, I trust y’all had a great sleep. Me? I slept like a baby. I pretty much greened out last night. I barely got through the night bathroom chores. I stripped off as I stumbled, and by the tone Crystal got into the bedroom, I was already 40% asleep.

So yeah, it didn’t take me long to fall asleep last night.

It snowed overnight, so there’s a dusting of snow on the ground. We did the second half of the Great Truck Swap. My parents pulled up to work around 2 yesterday afternoon. I went out and teased them, the truck was covered in snow and ice. When I put the truck in reverse a couple of hours later, every single rear sensor was going off. It was like it was telling me that I was too close to a wall.

So I grabbed a couple of tokens to the truck wash and with the help of a power washer, I cleaned off the ice and the salt off the truck. It was very satisfying. But of course, it’s still below freezing out there, so we’ll see how frozen the truck is today when I go to work.

Back to work today, and Friyay is getting closer. That’s my day off this week. Everybody’s workin for the weekend!
