On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

Good morning everyone, it’s Thursday. The most useless day of the week. Almost the weekend, but not quite close enough. It’s gray and windy, and currently below freezing out there.

I was up early. Around 6. I was woken up because there was a very snuggly kitten looking for a place to get comfy. She snuggled close to my neck for a little bit, then snuggled Crystal, then I think ended up on my hip and slid between us. She’s a snuggly girl, and just wanted to be close to us.

Other than the kitten, it was an ok sleep. I think we’re having problems staying asleep because the weather is changing and getting colder. I don’t know. Maybe that’s the reason, maybe not. Like the US Tax Code, it’s a total mystery.

Coffee in the mugs, and news on TV. Chaucer is in the window, being Chaucer. Pippin is around somewhere. Happy Thursday everyone.

Good morning motherfuckers! welcome to the red headed stepchild, known as Wednesday. Yep, it’s the day that you have to go through, but in the grand scheme of things – means nothing. It’s hump day. You’re moving through the week, but today just feels like 3rd Monday.

The sun is rising, and is supposed to be a relatively nice day out there. But the weather doesn’t really matter, when you’re in an office all day. I’ll try and get out and do some things over at the warehouse.

But before all that fun, we’ll be having a probably long ass meeting. That’s ok. It’s overdue.

But before all that: coffee.

Let’s go Wednesday! Woohoo!

Good day sunshine

It’s morning, am I supposed to be excited? I woke up at 6. I’m sure Crystal was up even earlier. I fell back asleep for mere minutes at a time, until the alarm went off. Before that, I think it was a good sleep, but I can’t be sure. The last hour kinda ruined the whole sleep experience.

I’ll sleep again tonight.

Back to work this fine Tuesday morning. It’s going to be a good day. I will manifest this energy this morning!

Coffee has been brewed. And I think Pippin is trying to get Chaucer to play. She’s been up for a while as well and now she wants to play. I don’t think Chaucer is ever ready to play, but especially first thing in the morning. And I’m pretty sure that Pippin is a morning kitty.

So, repeat after me – it’s gonna be a good day. It’s gonna be a good day!

Good morning all my lovely interweb people. Welcome to another Monday morning. From what I can read over Crystal’s shoulder, she was up early – before sunrise. But technically, technically, and this should make her feel a little better, we got out of bed before sunrise today.

So technically, she slept all the way through the night! It’s not the same as what she’s talking about, but it’s close enough, right?

Coffee has been brewed, and it’s that time of the month where Critical Role is on hiatus for the week, so no new episode today. And that’s ok, it’s Halloween today. All the spooky shit will be happening today. It’s also the day as soon as the sun goes down, I’ll be closing the curtains and if she can find it, maybe we’ll watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

So pull up a couch, and a cup of coffee. Let’s start the day, yo.

Awake! The kitties let us sleep in until 7:44 this morning. Pippin is trying to get Chaucer to play with him. He’s sitting on the purste chest, trying to stay out of her tromp zone. He just wants a lap to snuggle in.

It’s Sunday! Chore day! Crystal has suggested that I don’t do the clothes laundry today, and just to the sheets. And she’d do the clothes on Tuesday. I don’t think I can do that. I can leave the sheets for her, but I’ll do the clothes. Not that I don’t think she can do it, it’s routine, and I need the clothes for Tuesday hahaha

Coffee has brewed, and just like every time I sleep in, I feel behind the eight ball in terms of what I should be doing today. I’ll start the chores shortly, just trying to wake up a little.

The haunted hotel is done for the year, with just the kids show left for this evening, which I think we’ll skip. Maybe even I’ll participate next year. Who knows. I don’t want any type of responsibility. I did like that we could just basically leave when we wanted too. So we’ll see. I had a blast just watching people enter the “big top”, and freak out before entering the haunted hotel actual.

With Pippin snuggling on my lap, I’ll get more coffee and start the chores once she decides to get up, or if I have to pee. Happy Sunday everyone!
