Midnight, and I’m a-waitin’ on the twelve-oh-five

The cats were wrestling on me at one point this morning. It’s warm and sunny out there. They’ve just been getting up earlier and earlier. I was the wrestling mat this morning. Welcome to the first real day of spring. After checking the weather app, we’ve actually started out in positive temps this morning.

Needless to say, the table is set up, and Pippin is probably loafed sitting in a sun beam. She knows it’s getting warmer out there, and has been demanding the table pretty much every day over the last couple of days.

Good morning my friends. It’s Sunday, I think. It’s been difficult to figure out which day it is, because I had Friday off as well. But according to the calendar, it is Sunday. Chore day!

But before all that, I need some coffee. Lots of coffee. I was up a little early, trying to go back to sleep. I think I mostly dozed for about a half an hour before the alarm went off.

We didn’t really do too much yesterday. I played BotW. And by played, I wandered around randomly killing things. And gathering materials. I think one more day of doing that, and I’ll be prepared enough with foods and stuff, to actually start my one man assault on Hyrule castle. We’ll see. I’ve been in it, but yeah. With 3 out of 4 Divine Beasts, I’ll probably have to face two Ganons.

Other than chores and going over to Shady Acres, there’s not too much on the docket today. We’ll see what happens! Happy Easter 🐇

A-just a-choogling on down to New Orleans

Oh, hello there. Can you answer me this? Is it Saturday, or Sunday? With having yesterday off, it’s hard to keep track. I mean I know it’s Saturday, but my hard wired brain seems to think that I’m supposed to be doing laundry in an hour or so.

Spoiler alert: I’m not going to be doing chores today.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I didn’t even get dressed. I did play BotW for more of the day. I prepped, and geared up, and chased another divine beast. This time it was the Goron one. The lizard. It wasn’t too hard to get to it. And for the most part, the puzzles weren’t too difficult. I mean I did all of them except one, by myself.

The last terminal stumped me. I just couldn’t figure it out. So for the first time in the divine beasts that I’ve released, I googled it. I read it, and exclaimed,

“Jesus Christ, why didn’t I think about looking up, in the hallway next to where I’m standing?” I looked up, and found what I was looking for.

After Crystal got out of her bath, she geared up, and started a divine beast too. The one that the internet says is the most difficult. She pretty much got in with no problems, but lemme tell you about the puzzles. It’s like a three piece rubix cube. After a few hours, she’s managed to get 3 out of the 5 terminals turned on.

We watched a video. That seemed to not help a lot. The video of the guy doing it seemed like he was confused, and I think it confused her more than it helped. I’ll find a better video, and I’m calling it now:

The last two puzzles will take Crystal about 10-15 minutes, and then BOOM, it’ll be done. She’s so much better at the puzzles than I am. It’s how her mind works. I’m better at brute force and ignorance. She’s the stealthy, sneaky person. Wait, maybe she’s a secret agent. I’ll have to ask her. Because everyone knows that if you ask a secret agent, they have to answer truthfully.

She’s in deep. I don’t think that she knows that she’s a secret agent. Mind control? Hypnotism? Another tism? I’m on it.

Oh, and happy Rex Manning day!!

And then he, he walked on down the hallway

Good morning everyone. Welp, we made it to Friyay. And let me tell you that it is a good Friyay. It’s warmish out there, and just a little froggy. But that should possibly burn off throughout the morning.

Since it’s Easter, the shop is closed today and tomorrow. It was a surprise for me at the start of the week, because I totally forgot about Good Friday.

Work was pretty good yesterday. BossLady took off while I was on lunch. She’s going to visit family this Easter with one of her daughters. NewNewGirl is driving to the next province over to visit and be with family. We’re lucky. The only driving we need to do is over to my parents for Easter dinner on Sunday.

So we’re sitting here watching TV last night. And some deer come up to the window. I had filled the bird feeder, and then Johnny Appleseeded the ground with some excess seed. Well some deer thought it would be nice to stop by and say hi to the cats, which sat with rapt attention. Just sitting and watching the deer that are a double pane window apart from them.

It was so cool! Puppen only started to get territorial when another cat wandered in to the deer zone. I think at one point she got overwhelmed and tried to hide behind a planter.

It was very neat to watch them just live their best life while eating all the birdseed they could.

The bird feeder is empty now. Silly deer.

You can taste the bright lights, but you won’t get there for free

Well well, well we made it my friends. It’s Thursyay! The end of the week. Yep, yours truly has tomorrow, and the weekend off. Thanks, Jesus!

Yesterday wasn’t too bad of a day. It was a pretty, dare I say, easy. There was a bunch of work to do in the morning, and then after lunch, I did a few more things, but then, we were shooting videos for social media. I think BossLady likes it when I film, because I try my hardest to keep her on track. After 2 hours, we had all the video. I just have a couple glamour shots, and then we’ll be all set.

Hopefully today goes as quickly as yesterday. Tonight is date night, as the diner is closed for the Easter weekend. I wonder what flavour adventure I’ll go on tonight.

But before all that, coffee, news and a shift at work. The weekend is so close, I can almost taste it! Happy Thursyay!

My wife leaned over and she whispered ‘I love you’ I held her close – we danced

Good Wednesday morning. We’re half way through the week. Hump day. The weekend is slowly sneaking up. Personally, I’ll welcome the surprise that is the weekend.

The only good thing about yesterday, was that the hours pretty much flew by. It was a long day, with me on the phone most of the day. That just drains me. But I got through it.

I was so mentally drained yesterday. I came home pretty much in a daze. I tried to recharge my batteries, and I was pretty much almost back to normal by the time we climbed into bed. I was out like a light, and I remembered I woke up once, just to roll over.

It was a pretty good sleep.

I have Chaucer on my legs, and a miss jealous pants sitting next to me waiting for Chaucer to get up so she can take his place on my lap. I filled the birdfeeder up, and the deer came again in the night. It’s completely empty again.

Once more into the breach, my friends.
