Glaciers melting in the dead of night

Posted on by Shawshank

Well hello there. Good morning. I think everyone slept ok last night. I was dead to the world after I climbed into bed. Shortly before the alarm went off, Pippin climbed up and snuggled me for a couple of minutes.

Then the alarm went off.

Time to get up and greet the day. Coffee has just finished brewing. Pippin is on my lap, and Chaucer is wandering around. He just debuted his newest song, and was letting us listen to it.

Back to work this morning. Yay.

But before that, let’s have some coffee and wake up time. It’s gonna be a good day. Let’s all have a good day!

Lockup Library: Star Trek: Picard Season 1

Posted on by Shawshank

So today while Crystal was sick, and sleeping in the bedroom I watched Star Trek: Picard. It’s part of the library on Paramount+

I shouldn’t say I watched it. I binged the entire season. I’d still be watching it, but the stupid ass licensing here in Canada means that the company that originally produced and made the show, only the first season is available on Paramount+

I really enjoyed the first season. Great mystery. The only thing that I thought of through all 10 episodes is that the TNG cast is so old. I remember them in their prime from TNG.

And you know if they’re old, that means I’m very old.

That was depressing.

But other than that, I really enjoyed the show, and I’m eagerly awaiting if and when the next season becomes available on the service.

It was really really nice to see some of the old cast reunited again. They fell right back into their comfortable roles. You could tell that they were having fun being back together.

When friends come to call it’s the hap-happiest season of all

That’s right. It snowed this morning. Just under 2.5 inches of the white stuff, and I’m not talking cocaine. I am literally really getting tired of the snow. And winter.

But here we are.

Crystal isn’t feeling well this morning. She’s declined coffee and is dozing on the couch next to me. I hope she gets feeling better soon.

I don’t have a lot to talk about this morning. I did play a few hours of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I really like it. It’s the first Zelda game that I’ve really been able to get into.

I’m going to take care of Crystal. I loves her so much. We’ll get her 100% as soon as possible.

Life is demanding without understanding

I think I’m awake. I think I was up shortly before the alarm went off. But I quickly fell back asleep when Crystal pulled me into a snuggle. I fell quickly back to sleep. A deep sleep. It was almost like a full nights sleep in about 10-15 minutes.

And now here we are. Awake. Coffee has been brewed, and is currently being consumed. It’s chore day. I’ll be starting that in an hour or so. Usually we go up to Shady Acres for dinner, but since we hung out pretty much all day yesterday, I’m going to text mom in a few hours, and politely decline for this evening.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, we drove to NextProvinceOver to check out an RV show. There’s some pretty good RVs out there, some bigger than The Flat. That’s crazy! We wandered around for about an hour, then went for lunch.

Following lunch, we stopped at Walmart. Neither is or my mom needed a lot of stuff. We did a circle of the store – and walked out with like 4 items. We quickly stopped at a second hand store that was pretty sad, so we hopped back in the truck, and drove home.

We had some left over pizza for dinner, watched some shows, and then went to bed. I can’t speak for Crystal, but I was out like a light.

But first, more coffee.

Say it ain’t so I will not go turn the lights off carry me home

Well hello there, friends. It’s completely dark outside, and not so bad temperature wise, but not the warmest, you get me?

Yep, we’re up early today, because we’re going on a bit of a road trip to the next province over. Last week my parents invited us to go out. And in an effort to get out of the house a little more, we said yes. Now we’re up at o’dark thirty to get ready.

I has coffee.

If you ever want to sleep until the alarm goes off, so you’re not just laying there waiting for the alarm to go off, is to reset your alarm to go off an hour early.

So let’s get the day started! Everyone do 10 jumping jacks, to get the blood flowing. Happy Saturday my friends! Let’s get out there and kick it in the nuts!

POW!
