She’s on the highest dose of Prozac a woman can take

Holy shit, it’s Friday y’all!

I’ve been up for a while now. I was just mostly … awake. Podrick’s been running around like a crazy kitty. It sounded like he was getting into everything this morning. However, when I got up and dressed, the only thing out of place, was the cat bed from the shelf, was on the floor.

It’s a bright and sunny day out there. It’s supposed to be pretty nice outside today. I think slowly, but surely it’s going to be getting nicer and nicer. At least, I hope it will. I might not even wear my long underwear today. We’ll definitely have to keep an eye outside this morning. I might even set the table up for the cats once we let Pippin out of the bedroom.

As I’ve said in a post, I’ve been on a country music kick for a couple of weeks now. I’ve been listening to Pistol Annie’s, Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson, and a couple of other ladies. They’re pretty good, and I’m enjoying listening to them on the way too and from work. It’s neat hearing them sing with their accents. I actually recognize some of the talent that’s going to be at Country Thunder this year. Still not gonna go, it’s way too expensive, even for general admission.

But, I have really been enjoying listening to Ella Langley. She has a great voice, and her songs remind me a lot of the country songs from the 89s that actually tell a story. So yesterday she released her second (I think) album, and I was excited to listen to a song or two before work yesterday. According to YouTube Music (yesterday morning), it was going to drop in like 10 hours. I pulled out my fingers and counted. Ok, fine, I’ll listen to a song on the way home, I opened up YTM, and it said drops in a hour. Fine. I won’t listen to the album tonight. It’s on my playlist now, so I’ll listen to a song on the way to work today.

The back door is opened, and both kittens are looking out the window. Soon, I’ll be able to open some windows, and let some fresh air in. But there’s a thought in the back of my head; winter is coming.

But if I smell like smoke, it’s only ’cause I’ve been through hell

I was very surprised when I looked at my phone, forced my eyes to focus, and saw that the time was 6:58. The Beautiful One and Podrick let me sleep in an extra half hour. I mean I was up around 5? I think. I had to pee, then back to bed. then I was up briefly at 5:30 when the cat feeder went off.

I only heard Pod try to climb the screen once, maybe twice. Then quietness. That is when I went under again. I was just a little warm, and just not able to breathe through my nose too well. So I was a little tossy and turny. When I looked at the time I was very surprised. And decided right there, to get up and start the day.

The day has been started.

Coffee brewed.

Back to work this afternoon. I’m working with the same co-worker as yesterday, and the same one tomorrow. Yesterday me and the co-worker celebrated Rex Manning Day, by wearing Hawaiian shirts, and manifesting better weather, as the snow was flying yesterday. It’s gonna be a little warmer today. And it’ll be a lot nicer tomorrow – so there’s that.

I need more coffee. Happy Thursday, y’all.

You call me on my car phone with that je ne sais quois you say you need a little of my ooh-la-la

Good morning. I’ve been mostly awake for a while. We’ll leave the morning alone with that lone sentence. He’s in full asshole/feral mode today. I’m pretty much done with him this morning. Pippin isn’t too impressed with him either.

Yes, once again it’s Rex Manning day. So that automatically makes the day just a little bit better. We’re back into a bit of a cold snap out there. It rained for an hour or so last night. And it was just starting to snow while we were pulling ourselves out of bed.

So let’s get the day started! Coffee for everyone!

If I look a little drunk, it’s ’cause I drank some

Podrick has been Podrick this morning. I kept waking up, hearing him do random bullshit throughout the house. I got up once to see WTF he was doing. I thought he was up in the toilet shelves. Nope, he was playing with an empty soda box in the kitchen.

Now remember, I’m double masked at this point. I stumble out of the bedroom and lift just one side, so I have one eye out. I see what he’s doing and do an about-face and head back into the bedroom. No I don’t know why, but I’m moving like I’m walking down the street.

Remember the two masks?

Because, I didn’t. I almost did a face plant in the space between the bed, and the closet. Once I felt the corner of the bed, I stoped, righted myself, and crawled back into bed.

But I’m slowly starting the day here. We’re up, Podrick is mostly mellow right now. I’m almost ready for a second cup of coffee. And a couple of more minutes, I’ll be able to feed the cats.

It’s Tuesday motherfuckers. And that means screaming into the void.

Ain’t afraid to get a little bit of mud on the tires

Like Crystal, I don’t think I can sleep in the morning. I was up early again. Podrick was bopping around, but I don’t think he was really factoring in to it. I was warm, and my face is stuffed up big time.

The weekend wasn’t bad at all. It’s nice to have two days off in a row. You can’t kind of recharge a little in those days. We got shit done the first day, then got some more shit down on Sunday. But Sunday was a little more relaxed. I played video games.

Me. I played them.

Most of the day, and into the evening.

But now, back to reality. Work for the week. But right now, it’s bright and sunny out there. And for the few seconds that I was outside to grab this mornings featured image. It’s not too bad out there this morning.

The table has been set up in the back door. This is about the only time that they sit side by side – awake. Sure they snuggle and cuddle off the shelf, but they’re sleeping at that point. The back door brings people togather.

Coffee refilled. Let’s fucking goooo!
