I won’t even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

Good morning y’all. It’s a brand new week up here north of the wall. It’s snowed yesterday morning, but thankfully, it was light and fluffy when I went out to shovel yesterday evening.

I was wicked lazy yesterday. I did the laundry? And then promptly forgot about all other chores. I did make brunch. But that was about it really. All I did for 90% of yesterday was play Persona 5 Royal.

That’s all I did.

In my defence, I only play it on my days off. It’s the type of game you can’t say well, I’ll just play an hour. It’s not that easy. You can only save the game in certain areas, and then there’s the fact that exposition could go on for 10-15 minutes.

I really like the game though.

So with my schedule this week, the next time I can play is next Saturday. So that means that Crystal can catch up, and over take me again. She’ll watch me play up to the point that I overtake her progress. So now when she wants to play this week, she’ll have some content to unlock.

Back to work today. I’m closing all week. I need more coffee. Happy Monday everyone.

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

The Beautiful One let me sleep in! We’ve just climbed out of bed. I think I really needed it. It was the best sleep I’ve had in at least a week. I was not disturbed by kittens or any other outside forces. It was a restful and restorative sleep. I woke up felling better than the day before.

Yesterday was a day to be sure. I worked first thing in the morning and watched my coworker take his time for pretty much anything. One task that we have to do is environmental stuff. It literally takes about 10 minutes to start and complete. It took him just about 5 hours to complete it.

What the fuck?

I don’t know. I simply don’t know. But that’s ok.

Today, I have nothing planned. Not going over to Shady Acres, because I’m freakin sick, so we’ll do special breakfast, and dinner today. Other than that, it’s snowing out, and I don’t even want to leave the house.

So that’s the day. Chores, food, and probably video games. And coffee.

Oh lawd. I’m tired.

I got home shortly after work, and I grabbed Crystal and we went to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies. With the supplies gathered, we skipped Subway this week, and came home.

Instead of making this post a few hours ago, I fired up Persona 5 Royal, and played until now. As I was desperately trying to get to a save point (the last 10 save points, I forgot). I finally got to one and save and shut it off.

As I was taking midterm tests and talking to a counsellor, Crystal started and completed our Thanksgiving feast which is in the oven. It smells terrific.

So yeah I’m having troubles stringing words together – I was up most of the night coughing. I’m gonna end here.

Chores tomorrow.

Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the room

Hey y’all, we made it to Friyay! I kinda have a mini weekend off. I’ll be opening the shop tomorrow, and then travelling to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies. Crystal showed me a TikTok a couple of days ago for a “dollar tree Thanksgiving casserole” so I picked up the ingredients for that. We’ll make that Saturday.

It was cold last night at work, but thankfully, the wind died down, and it wasn’t too bad for the last part of the evening. It wasn’t too bad. Not really busy, but not really dead. Sadly though, time didn’t move as quickly as it has. Time still passed.

Back to work this afternoon. It’s freakin cold out there this morning and isn’t supposed to warm up too much more today. So I’ll have to dress just a little bit better today, than I did yesterday.

But before all that happens, I need fuel for my body. I need a refill. I need covfefe. And lots of it. STAT!
