He weighs almost 50 pounds and he delivers my paper on time

Here I am. All awake, like I planned it. I slept until the alarm. Podrick is up with me, running around. I don’t know if it was a dream or not, but at one point I woke up, and I had one of Crystal’s pillows. I don’t know if I actually did, but in my half awake haze, I got rid of it. I tried to put it above us, so if she woke up, she’d find it.

I might have been dreaming.

I don’t know what to write. It’s hard coming up with stuff that’s new, when I was up at this time as well yesterday. Work wasn’t too bad. I cleaned most of my shift. I’ll probably be doing the same thing today. But you can never know for sure.

I need coffee. Happy Thursday y’all!

I’m the smiling face on your TV

Good morning. It’s a chilly bright day out there this morning. It’s that part of spring where it’s still freakin cold first thing in the morning. But we’re dealing with it, by dressing in layers.

Yesterday was a really nice day. We went to SlightlyBiggerTown town to check out the second hand store. I got a pillow, and Crystal got a few items. We stopped at A&W for a quick lunch and then we were back at The Flat. I played some Balatro. I’m trying to beat the Green Deck.

I didn’t beat the Green Deck. But I tried. While I was trying, Crystal and Podrick took a nap beside me. I made very delicious burgers for dinner, and then we watched true crime on Netflix until it was just about bedtime.

Twas a good day. Working a swing shift today and tomorrow. I’ll be home while it’s still light out. That’s a nice thing for sure.

You’re all alone and the dummies might be right

Good morning. The baby one let me sleep in mostly. He was a good little boy, and was just on the bed when I woke up. Sometime in the night, twice, he was under the blankets snuggling, and I thought he was playing. So I pulled him out of the blankets. I’m not used to a kitten that actively wants to snuggle under the blankets. Pippin would come in and snuggle, but he burrowed and was closer to my stomach than Pippin would go.

Yesterday was a different one. My entire schedule was flipped upside down. I woke up, and it was dead quiet. Everything was off. The power was off. So we got up, and sat on the couch. I was chilly so we got up and hopped into the shower after the shower, and making sure work was still open, I got dressed and went to work to get some coffee for us. As I was pouring, I got a text from Crystal. because of course that would happen. So I paid for the coffee, and drove back home, where I turned the coffee pot on. I was happy that the power came back on, so I could actually make lunch.

After all that, I pull into work feeling slightly off. I just felt blahh. It was gray outside. Not a lot of sun. And it was chilly. I just didn’t feel like myself. This morning, the sun is shining. I had a really good sleep. I feel more myself.

On Sunday, we hauled the Switch to Shady Acres to show my dad one of the most addictive games we’ve played – Balatro. He listened and watched me stumble my way up to round 15. He’s played poker before, and was calling out hands. With the meds that he’s on, he doesn’t really have a lot of short term memory, but we wrote the name of the game down, and I got this text yesterday while I was at work.

I’d say Balatro is a hit over there.

I have a day off today. I don’t plan on doing anything major today. Maybe we’ll go to the second hand store. Maybe I’ll drag The Beautiful One to SlightlyBiggerTown and we’ll check out the second hand store there. Who knows, the world is our oyster.

But first: covfefe.

I woke up to silence. The fan was off. Everything thing is off. The power is out in town. That means no coffee. Or at this point nothing is on. I just texted work. They have power. So at least I’ll be going to work. BossLady says a substation is down, so the power could be out for a while.

Great.

With now power that means no coffee, food, or at this point, no shower. I’ll have to give myself a whores bath – pits and crotch.

It wasn’t too bad of a day yesterday. I had done the laundry on Saturday, so I didn’t actually do too much of anything yesterday. I made brunch, and we watched Angry Science Man on the YouTube. He’s always a good time. Interesting facts, and some comedy tossed in as well.

Then it was off to Shady Acres. my dad is doing a lot better after his operation. He’s moving around, albeit slowly, but that’s to be expected after hip replacement surgery. He really liked the basket of treats that I brought over for him. Then Crystal and I showed him Balatro. We had brought the Switch over and actually showed him some game play, and started to teach him about the game.

My mom made wings for dinner and a really tasty angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream for desert.

Hopefully the power comes back soon.
