And all that I want from you is a promise you will be there

Morning everyone. It was a very warm morning. Yet parts of me was cold, and I couldn’t get warm, yet I was sweating. That must mean it’s morning, and I really should’ve gotten up about an hour and a half ago.

But here we are. It’s a bright and sunny day out there. We should be getting about the same heat and sun as yesterday, and I’m stoked! Finally some heat. I’ve had to suffer that AC at work – wearing hoodies my whole shift, and still freezing. Now it’s time for my coworkers to feel uncomfortable about the temperature.

Back to work today. But today is my Friyay! Yeppers, I have Thursday and Friday off. Then I work a short shift on Saturday and I’m off Sunday. Yesterday, was pretty slow, yet time seemed to move pretty quickly. So we were surprised when it was just about time to close. So close we did, and we were out of there as fast as my coworker could do the paperwork.

BRING ON THE WEEKEND!

Podrick was very vocal this morning as he let us (me) know it was time to rise, and time to feed the orange goblin. He was so happy when I lurched out of bed, and took off my sleep mask. It was time to get up. Crystal, I’m sure, has been up since it was dark out. Maybe she’ll get a chance to nap this afternoon.

It’s a bright and sunny day out there. We’re finally starting to get some nicer weather. Sadly it really feels like the usual really nice fall weather that we get every year. Maybe this will be a really good Indian summer. Maybe even a somewhat longish one.

Fingers crossed.

Back to work for the next couple of days, then a couple of days off. Should be too bad. I believe in my heart of hearts that it’s gonna be a great couple of days. Hopefully the weather supports this, and we’ll get along just fine!

Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can’t you see? Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

Fuck I was up early – even before the alarm went off. My eyes opened at 4am. My sleep mask, gone, I rolled out of bed as quietly as possible. I got up and fed Pippin and Podrick, standing beside them as they ate. When Pippin was done, I gave Pod that last of her food as well. I took Pippin into the bedroom so she could snuggle Crystal. She wasn’t having that, so I let her out again.

I get to work and open up. I’m turning lights on, and see that the slurpee machine has overflowed the drip trays onto the floor. I start to clean the counter and the floor as my coworker actually did the store opening and paperwork.

Work wasn’t busy, or slow. I wouldn’t even call it steady, but we took care of the people that came in. And we cleaned. I cleaned for about 4 hours, before I couldn’t clean anymore. Then, I just looked busy. It started to get a little busier towards the end of the shift, but that’s when our replacements come in, and we got the heck out of there.

I stopped at the post office, and picked up the mail for my parents, and dropped it off, happy that they were napping. In and out.

Home now, watching today’s RAW from Birmingham, England. Poutine for dinner. Weed for desert. It’s a good day.

Girl, I don’t need no lifted truck revving loud to pick you up

It’s bright and sunny outside.

A certain orange cat ate part of his favourite toy sometime in the night. It’s missing a bell.

We’re all up? And Crystal has fed the kitties. Pippin didn’t want to eat, so it’s sitting in the cupboard, and we’ll see if she wants to eat before I start to cook brunch.

I had a really good sleep this morning, which means that Crystal stole out of bed without waking me up, kicked Podrick out, and brought Pippin in to snuggle sometime this morning. the bed was the perfect temperature to snuggle. And snuggle I did.

Yesterday was a nice day, although a little chilly out. We got up and dressed and made our way over to the next town over for some grocery shopping, and to hit a couple of other stores. We got into town, and hit up the grocery store first. I actually planned ahead this time- I was wearing a hoodie, because it seems like the new grocery store is always so very cold in it.

We finished up the groceries, I packed them in the truck, and we walked to the dollar store. I don’t think we got anything there. Then it was over to the general store, and then to the pharmacy. After the pharmacy, we hit up the pharmacy for a couple of carts. Then on our final stop, I bought Subway for lunch, and then we were back in the highway pointed in the general direction of our tiny little town.

After quickly running out to grab a frozen pizza for dinner, because we forgot to plan ahead (in our defence we looled at the sushi, and it just wasn’t great last week, so we walked past it. And completely forgot to pick something up. After dinner, I put on a movie: K-Pop Demon Hunters. It was pretty good. The songs were catchy, and it had a pretty good story. I considered myself entertained.

Can I get some fries with that shake-shake boobie?

I think that Podrick was a little bad this morning, and was shut out of the community early this morning. However, I do remember Pippin perched on my hip at one point. She’s so light, but her feet can really dig in. By the time you read this, they’ve been fed, and Podrick is doing Podrick things, which means, he’s just getting into trouble.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It wasn’t busy at all, in fact, I’d say it was painfully slow. Except for the fact that we both looked at the clock and said “holy shit, it’s 5:45!”. Yep, time moved quickly, even though we didn’t have the mass of customers that we usually have. I was impressed, and the rest of the evening went just as quickly, and before we knew it, we were on our way home at the end of the night.

Not too much planned for the day of Sats. We’ll be heading out to SlightlyBiggerTown town a little later on. We have a list. An incomplete list, and we’ll be adding to it as we go. So far we have about 6 stops to head to this morning, so it’ll be an action packed morning for us. And it usually is! It’s turning out to look pretty nice outside.

And, I’ve already taken an allergy pill.
