Well, I’m in my own self-inflicted misery

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s morning again. It always comes so quickly.

Podrick was pretty good this morning. Only quietly walking across us. Over and over, and over again.

Now, he’s testing our patience, and yelling at us, when we prevent him from getting on the top shelf. He’s not too bad right now. Just sitting and watching us. Crystal says he snuggled her this morning.

Work wasn’t too bad last night. Just on the slow side of not steady at all. But we made it through. My co-worker was nervous about closing now that BossLady is back. I told him to just relax. We know what we’re doing. If we miss something, we’ll be told. This is the same co-worker that forgets to lock the front door.

We leave the store at the Sam time. I paid attention to what he was doing, we leave the store, and boom, he just walks to his car – he forgot to lock the front door. Dude, don’t forget to lock the door, I say as I walk to my truck. He told me he has to turn around on the highway every night he works to make sure he locked the door.

Back to work this afternoon. There’s gonna be three of us tonight. It’s a delivery day. So hopefully, it’ll be busy enough to justify three of the highest paid people working. If it’s dead, I’ll talk to them and maybe leave an hour early. We’ll see. Hopefully, we’ll be busy all night.

But first coffee, while the sun comes up. Happy Tuesday, my bitches!

She moves, she moves between the hours of twilight

Good morning everyone. It’s the start of another work week today. Podrick, clocked in early today. He’s just a go-getter. What can I say? He really loves his work. He concentrated on Crystal’s side of the bed this morning. He has the super power of making just enough noise that I can hear him over my headphones. But his super power today, was a bane on Crystal’s morning: wire hunter.

I think I fell asleep pretty quickly, aside from the fact that I had to get up 14 minutes into the video to go to the bathroom. I reset the video, and climb back into bed, and I think I fell off the sleep cliff pretty quickly.

So yeah, that’s the morning so far. I believe the fog that plagued us all day yesterday has lifted. According to my weather app, the fog hasn’t lifted. So we have that going for it.

Happy Monday everyone. It’s time to circle back around now. You’ve been warned!

Times get harder give me a fire starter, drench myself up in holy water

We’re up again. It’s a new day. Podrick likes to use the bed as a jungle gym, and bound overtop of me, and probably Crystal as well, but I can only talk about me. After 4 or 5 times of him bounding and climbing over me, I mumbled, asking what time it is. When told, I rolled out of bed, and fumbled in the dark to get dressed.

The kitties are up as well. They been fed. Podrick’s gone back to his bowl 4 times already. Pippin enjoys her private dining in the bedroom. I have to remember to wash Pippin’s bed when I do the laundry. Yes, I did the laundry like 4 days ago, but the week between Christmas and New Years, is a crazy animal. I believe that everyone should all just have the week off.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. I spoke of it yesterday when I got home. We worked out asses off to get the store your a good standard. Yes, I know if we just would’ve kept it to a high standard when the BossLady went on leave we wouldn’t have to work as hard. Yes. I agree. But I work with millennials, and Gen Alpha. They don’t move unless motivated. Now with a day left before the boss returns, they’re motivated.

Chores today. Not too much. Just laundry and some light cleaning. Podrick is tearing around chasing Pippin around. In a little while, they’ll have piles of clothes to block there clear running.

Laundry will start with the rising of the sun. Until then, coffee and murders.

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you

Sleep came quick last night, but I was up and down a lot. Instead of waking Crystal every time I wanted to know what time it was, I just looked at my phone. The first time I woke up it was 12:40, then 3:44, and then the alarm scared the shit out of me.

Alarm goes off.

I get up.

I turn the coffee pot on, do my bathroom stuff, and then turn on the TV. What’s this? No Dateline? Bombings? Oh shit, what a way to start the new year. Oh fuck my life, it’s Trump attacking a sovereign nation? Isn’t that an act of war?

Wait, wait, wait. He kidnapped the president of the country, and his wife?

This isn’t gonna be good.

I do my morning stuff, and when it’s time, I kiss The Beautiful One good bye, and minutes later, I’m at work. We cleaned for about 5 hours in preparation for the BossLady to come back to work on Monday. We now leave the rest of the cleaning list to the second shift crew tonight, and the same crew for tomorrow.

I’m tired, and my back hurts. But the shift went quickly. That’s a good thing.

Fish and chips for dinner.

House chores tomorrow. I still have half an episode of SmackDown! to watch.

And in the evening she’s a singer with the band, yeah

Podrick was Podrick last night.

The mess was cleaned up this morning.

I slept pretty well, considering, I went to bed about an hour early, due to dizziness, and the fear of passing out. So I crawled, literally into bed, and went to sleep. Well, tried to. First, too hot. Next, too cold. Finally, I found the right section of the bed, and finally fell asleep.

Yesterday, I don’t think I left the house, except to shovel the sidewalk. It’s been a heck of a long time, since the last time I said I wasn’t going to leave the house. Finally, it came true. So we took turns on the Switch, playing Red Dead Redemption. By the end of the day, we both made it into Mexico. so, it’s now a whole new video game.

Back to work for the next two days. Christmas week, and the week after has been a shit show schedule-wise. Next week, we’re back to the regular schedule again. Time to get used to 5 days a week again!

I can’t wait until it’s somewhat day light again when we wake up in the mornings. It’s pretty depressing, waking up in the dark, and coming home from work in the dark. Since the solstice has come and gone the days should be getting longer again.
