I heard you on my wireless back in ’52

I slept like the dead last night. I got into bed, and fell right to sleep – the next thing I know, the alarm is going off. My alarm starts out quiet, and slowly gets louder, it freaks me out every time it goes off. I always think that it’s been going for a few minutes, so I’m always surprised when I roll over, and it’s 7am. I’m sure the alarm had only been going off for like 1 or 2 seconds.

Up and atom.

Coffee is brewing, and the plants have been taken outside for their day in the sun. Yesterday, I had to laugh. My provincial app started going off with thunder storm warnings. The first one goes off and I look out the window – sunny and not a cloud in the sky. Then I get a text from my mom saying when I’m ready, just text her and she’ll come down to get me. There’s a storm brewing she says.

Again, not a cloud in the sky.

I continue to watch Netflix for a bit. It’s getting darker and darker outside. I shut off the show I’m watching and decide to hop in the shower. My showers are usually 5-10 minutes. When I get out, the sun is shining, and the ground is soaked. I missed the “thunder storm”.

I ended up not texting my mom and just walking up in the sun.

Ok coffee time. Let’s kick Monday in the nuts.

Book club – Bats of the Republic

Hey book nerds! According to my last book post, I finished Orange is the New Black, that means I can start a new book!

Last week, I got a book from CrystalBats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson. I told myself yesterday, that I’d only read the first chapter – you know to take my time and stretch it out. I ended up reading 49 pages. It’s so easy to fall into this book.

There’s two stories going on in the book – one in the 1800s and one 300 years in the future. Both stories are intertwined in one family.

This should be really good, and I’m excited to take it 1 hour at a time!

Have a great Sunday, book nerds!

There’s dancing behind movie scenes

Guten Morgen everyone. That’s right, it’s Sunday funday. It’s Chore Day! In an hour or so, I’ll be starting laundry. Woot!

Yes, for the most part, I am that excited to do chores. Haha. Other than chores, I have no plans today, minus going over to Shady Acres for dinner tonight.

But right now, this minute – coffee.

And the morning news.

So I’m gonna sign off, for now. Happy chore day!

Book review – Orange is the New Black

Hello book nerds! This is gonna be a quick review on Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman. Let’s just say that this book pretty much just shares the name with the tv show.

It’s a 295 page book, that some how got stretched into a 7 season tv show. How they did that, I have no idea. The book basically captures what it’s like to be in prison. Mostly about the spoken and unspoken rules within the walls.

Some basic plot points exist between the two, however, the book is so much more condensed that the show.

It was a very very quick read. Even with only reading an hour or so each night it only took two or three days to finish it.

I already knew the basic ending because I hit that part in the show. I’m only on season 3 but that’s pretty well where the book ends. The book for the most part really feels rushed. Even at the beginning it felt really condensed.

If you like the show, that’s great. But I’d recommend that you read the book before you watch the show.

All in all, the book is simply ok. A good read, but not a stellar one.

Put your toes down in the water and a smile across your face and tell me that you love me

Good morning everyone. It’s a gray start to the day here, but according to my weather app, it should be getting sunny – according to the weather app, it should be sunny right now. So we’ll see if it gets sunny shortly.

In some good news, I have little tiny peppers growing! That pretty cool, I think! In a couple of weeks, I’ll have peppers! Woohoo!

Coffee is brewing and I can’t wait for it. I think I slept all the way through without having to get up. That’s a first in a couple of weeks. I did wake up once rolling over, expecting my arm to hurt, but it didn’t really hurt when I raised it up. It’s just a little sore this morning.

Coffee is ready, so I’ll be getting some. Happy Saturday everyone. Have a great day.
