Morning. It’s been a long morning so far. I’ve been up, on and off, since about 3:40. First it was just to get up and pee, then I had a slight stomachache, then I was just trying to get comfortable. Suddenly, I hear something falling and spilling. I fly out of bed. I think it’s around 5ish at this point. I can’t find anything, and suspiciously, the cats are no where to be found. I thinking Chaucer was asleep on the bed, and when Pippin jumped down off the shelf in the bathroom, the allergy pills took a tumble. I think I got most of them.

I climbed back in bed, got comfortable. That’s when the nightmares started. I remember them, mostly. I couldn’t recognize where we were, but we were there, with other people that I didn’t know. And in that crowd that’s when I found out Crystal was leaving. And had already divided all the stuff, and was leaving.

Good times.

Luckily, that’s not the case and when I woke up, she was still next to me, sleeping. And all the kittens were snuggled up on the bed, which also explains why I could pull the blanket up this morning. I couldn’t figure it out at the time.

So yeah, we’re awake. We have coffee, and the kittens have been fed. Chaucer is snuggled up in between us, and Pippin is looking out the back door. Chores will be started in a little while. I don’t know if we’ll be picking apples this afternoon, but I do know I’ll be taking up my position at the bbq to this afternoon and cooking steaks.

I think I need more coffee.

Good morning! It was almost a good sleep. I almost made it through the whole night. It was only the last hour, or hour and a half at the end, that I was uncomfortable, and tossy turny. So more than likely, I’ll be almost a 100% tonight. Hopefully.

It’s bright and sunny, and the kittens are both on the back door table, soaking up the sun. They love the back door table, and will fight to see who gets control of the table. They take turns being high commandant of the table. It’s quiet, so they are sharing control of the table.

Yesterday wasn’t actually too bad. BossLady was in a pretty good mood, and we were joking around, and I had some tasks that I wanted to complete. I got one done, but we went in another direction. Get this, I swept the deck, then I washed it off in an effort to make it look clean, and not all dusty and dingy.

But now it’s the long weekend, or the way a lot of people call it here – the September long. That’s how they talk about all the long weekends around here. Weird huh? When I first got hear and heard that, it kinda confused me to hear phrases like that. Now it still sounds strange.

Not too much on tap for today. We have to go into SlightlyBiggerTown for a weed run. I got a little extra commission in the check, so I’ll be surprising Crystal by actually buying some weed, while she picks up the vape cartridges. Then all we will have to do is figure out the lunch situation.

Look at me, writing a novel here. How many have actually made it this far? The kittens are chasing a fly. Well Pippin is, Chaucer just stares at them. He couldn’t care less about flies, or other little buggies. Old man is gonna old.

So fill up your coffee mugs and salute the September long. The last weekend of the summer. And you know what that means, don’t you?

Winter is coming.

Yep, we’re awake. I believe that we’ve both been up on and off, since about 3:30. For me, I was a little warm, head all stuffed up, and my back twitching a little bit. I’d just get totally comfortable, and I’d cough, or twitch, and then I’d be on the mission to get comfortable again.

It is what it is.

But it’s Friday. That’s a good thing for sure. It’s been a wicked long week. Most weekend the days go somewhat quickly, but the week moves slowly. Not this week. Both the day and the week have moved at a crawl.

I don’t really have a lot to talk about today. I’m still trying to wake up. So I think I’m just gonna sign off now. You know, stop before the quality goes down.

So yeah, it’s freakin Friyay. Have some coffee for me. I’ll have some for you.

Morning. I’ve been up on and off since about 4:30ish. Tossy turny. I think it was around 6 when I was finally pain free and somewhat comfortable. But I was still tossy turny, which probably helped Crystal wake up earlier than me.

The bbq yesterday was really nice. It was really nice to see my gramma. It’s a small town here, and she had commented that we should visit more. It’s hard to see her in a home. With her dementia, it’s hard to have conversations with her. But I’ll try to get over to the home a little more.

After that, it was back to work for a few hours. It wasn’t too hectic, BossLady and I got a couple of things finished, and I brought in a delivery. Not too much only a couple of pallets of dining furniture. So it wasn’t too heavy.

We were under a thunderstorm warning last night, and lemme tell you, it didn’t disappoint. The skit was being lit up, and the thunder … well, thundered last night. The first year that I was here, I experienced the night sky being lit up a couple of times, it’s always so neat when it happens.

But it’s a new day here, and we’re both up and bright eyed and bushy tailed. Bring on Thursday!

Stay forever and ever, and ever, and ever

Good morning my friends. I hope your morning is going well. Except if you’re in Florida, I know you’re having a tough morning. Stay safe, y’all.

I slept. It was ok. I have a knot or something on my side, so every time I try and roll over, I would wake up. So that last couple of hours or so, it was painful to roll over. It was very hard to find a position that was comfortable, and pain free. I think at one point I did find that position. Eventually.

It’s a bright and sunny morning here. The winds haven’t picked up yet. So maybe they won’t get too high today.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got home at noon, and instead of having lunch right away, I wanted to undo the tye-dye bundles. I’m wearing a tye-dye shirt today! I think this is the most colours I’ve worn all at once for a while!!

Back to work today. But I have a bbq to go to this morning. I’ll be off of work from 11-2. But after that I’ll be back in the office.

But before all that can happen, I need coffee. Happy Wednesday! Let’s go coffee!
