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!

There’s nothing better than closing last night, and having a mid shift this morning. You see, I have a love/hate relationship with the alarm. Once the alarm is set, I’ll wake up multiple times, long before the alarm. So when the alarm actually goes off, it scares me awake.

Good times.

Yesterday’s shift wasn’t too bad. Just slow. I mean the time went pretty quickly, it just seemed to drag on and on. But the next thing we knew, it was time to start to do the end of the night cleaning.

Also, my mom came, and we did the Great Truck Swap of 2025. Yep, I’m driving the BIG TRUCK today. Let me tell you, it really feels like you’re driving a couch down the road. But it’ll get me to work this morning, and that’s all that matters. It’s a beast of a truck.

Good Monday morning everyone. Another gray day out there, the Flat is awake and we’re typing up our morning posts, while the talking heads talk on TV. Chaucer is slowly lowering himself down onto my lap, while Pippin wants up as well.

The laundry got taken care of yesterday, but I was just too lazy to do the rest of the chores. It was a weird work week last week. I worked every other day. And then today, boom, not a day off until Friday now.

The great truck swap happens today. My dad has to go to CapitalCity for some blood work, and their truck is huge, my mom finds it easier to park a smaller vehicle in the hospital lot, so they’ll be swapping trucks sometime today.

Canada chose a new leader of the Liberal party. Tabulating the votes took mere hours, and before dinner, the new leader has been voted in. Let’s see how he can stand up to the orange turdball south of The Wall. There should be an election coming up before October to see if the Liberal can keep the wave going, and form a majority government.

But for now, I have two kittens on me, and a half cup of coffee. Cats are gonna be annoyed. They’re gonna have to get up soon. Happy Monday!

No no we don’t die, yes we multiply

The sun is shining m, and I have a very snuggled up happy Chaucer on my lap. He’s been a good boy, not crying or anything. He was snuggled against Crystal, probably for a few hours.

Like yesterday, it’s bright sunny. It doesn’t look too windy. Crystal opened the door in the back for Pippin. She knows what to do every day – jump up on the table and cry until we open the door for her, and then she’s happy.

So when I ordered Crystal’s laptop, I also ordered a pair of shoes for myself. The yearly purchase. I ordered another pair of Adidas sneakers. I usually buy the same pair each year, because I know can stand in them at work, and they’re comfortable. But we’re currently in a holding pattern for Winter2.0, so I’ve been holding off wearing them.

In fact, we’re waiting for snow to come. We have a 40% chance of snow tomorrow. Yeah, it’s less than 2”. So just enough snow to puss people off.

Let’s get ready to do some chores! Happy Sunday, bitches!
