Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

Well well well. It’s Sunday morning, and when the alarm went off, for me the bed was the perfect temperature. I didn’t want to get up. But I’m sure that Crystal had been up at that point, for at least an hour or so. But that’s just a guess.

So I walk out to the living room, and there’s a little bit of chaos. Pippin was a Mountain climber last night. She got to where she’s not supposed to have been. After that was cleaned up, the coffee was started, and Dateline has been started.

Yesterday, it wasn’t actually too bad at work. I did my own thing for a few hours, helped BossLady out for about 30-40 minutes, and then went back to what I was doing for the rest of the shift. She seemed fine, and I was tentatively cracking jokes with her, so there’s that.

But today is Sunday, chores will be started shortly. But before chores, I’m gonna need some more coffee, and time to focus the ol eyes. But I think it’ll be a good morning. Heck boys, it’s a lot warmer out there than yesterday at this time. It’s only -16 this morning, and that’s without the wind. I prefer not to look at the windchill. Like Crystal would say It’s like spring out there, where’s my Birkenstocks?

Ok, maybe she wouldn’t say that. But who knows, she totes might!

Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air she told me to come, but I was already there

Well good morning my friends. Welcome to Saturday. We’ve almost made it to the weekend. All that stands between me and the weekend actual is a short shift at work. The one speed bump with that: BossLady is working today as well. Ugh.

Although, it should be too bad. I mean, she has her work to do, and I have some stuff to do as well. The one problem, what I have to do probably won’t take too long, but I’ll do my best to stretch it out. If history is a marker though, as soon as I step into the office, she’ll be yelling from her office to get me to do stuff.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s so close to the weekend, I can taste it. Come on!

Last night after work, we went to the local diner for our weekly dinner. After being teased that we didn’t show up last week, the night cook asked Crystal if she would do a live drawing on Facebook live. So we had a great meal, and afterwards they brought their phone out to do the drawing. After a mix up with getting on Facebook live, they fired it up

And within about 5 seconds, Crystal doing her best Vanna White impersonation, the love drawing was over. We were thanked numerous times, we made our way back home.

It was a good end, to a wicked week. I for one welcome the weekend!

Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin’ on

Is it really Friyay? This has been the week from hell, but it’s not quite over. I have a shift tomorrow, and BossLady will be in. Yay. It’s rare that she works a Saturday, but I’ve thought of things to do.

I’m so happy it’s Friyay. It’s been a long week. Even with taking out my little adventure this week, there’s been so much drama at the store, and hopefully by the end of the week, we’ll be a little drama free, and we’ll be able to move on.

We’ve been watching the Murdaugh trial here. And the big man himself took the stand for some painful testimony, and even worse cross examination. It’s just so painful to watch. It’s day two of the cross examination today. The defence wanted to introduce two witnesses, and then come back to Alex. The state basically said that they wanted to finish their cross examination before new witnesses are called.

It’s very interesting, and like a train wreck, you can’t look away.

And the streets don’t change but maybe the names

Hello, good morning. We had a bit of a scare last night. I got up right at bed time to take a plate into the kitchen. I put the plate down, and told Crystal who was in the living room oh the whole world just went pear shaped. The next thing I know, Crystal is kneeling over me, trying to wake me up.

How did I get out here? I thought I slept walked out to the kitchen, and I was very confused for a couple of minutes. Then I passed out again. Crystal said it was almost like I had a small seizure. After that, I told her that I was fine, but I wasn’t in any shape to walk to the bedroom. So I crawled. Got undressed, and was helped into bed.

I think I managed to stay awake until Crystal got into bed, then I was out until around 6am. I’m sure Crystal didn’t sleep too much last night, probably waking up every time I moved. I feel ok, I think. Other that being so wickedly sore. I do remember asking if I broke my new glasses, but Crystal assured me that they’re just fine.

Happy Thursday everyone. I hope it’s a good day today. I need a win for sure.

Time on my hands could be time spent with you

Good cold morning! With the wind, right now it’s -38. We’re under a extreme cold warning until just after 8 tonight. Yep, we’re still in the middle of winter.

I can’t speak for Crystal, but I slept like the dead. Neither of us heard Pippin climbing into the book case. When we got up there we’re books on the ground. As Crystal started the morning, I cleaned up the bookcase.

I got my new glasses yesterday. It’s going to take a little while to get used to them. With my old glasses, and how warped they were, I mostly had to move my head instead of my eyes to look around. I have to retrain myself to move the eyes. That’ll take a little while.

We’re well into the morning now. I have Pippin on my lap, and Chaucer is annoyed that she’s on my lap, I just had to tell him he can snuggle in between us. Old man is gonna old man I guess.

Time for a coffee refill. Happy Wednesday!
