Book haul, but not for me

Posted on by Shawshank

So yesterday, while I was in CapitalCity, one of the main goals was to find this specific book for my dad for Father’s Day.

Let me preface this by saying that my dad isn’t a reader. I believe he may be on the spectrum, and has a heathy dose of dyslexia. It’s very very hard for him to do any reading. When he was studying for all of his mechanics courses, he would literally memorize the entire book for the course. My mom would read all of them to him.

Anyways, I told him about this book a couple of weeks ago, and immediately was very interested in it, and was asking a lot of questions about it. So like I said getting this book was one of the main reasons to drive 2.5 hours to a city that actually had a book store.

I get to the book store and find the last copy of it. I was so happy, I think I did a little happy dance right there in the store.

I have a YouTube video for him to watch, and then he’ll be able to make his own murder wall!

I have all the faith in the world that he’ll solve this mystery!

Then put your warm little hand in mine

Good morning everyone. We’re in day 2 of a heat wave, north of the wall. You see, when it hits over 32c, we get a heat warning. And apparently, when it gets this hot, the wind that’s ever present, always blowing – simply stops.

So it’s this hot, and no air movement. It’s already 23 here, and expected to get hotter, and then this afternoon, we’re also expecting thunderstorms.

So with all that news, I’m gonna do my chores tomorrow, when it’s cooler both inside and out.

When it was time for bed, I climbed in and called for Pippin. She came up and look a minute or two to get comfortable. She started off about half an arms length from me, and slowly got closer and closer to me until she was on top of me, then moved about an arms length from me. She decided I was too warm. She settled in, and promptly fell asleep.

I bought a new alarm clock yesterday and set it up. The only thing I didn’t do was set the morning alarm. Even without the alarm, I managed to wake up shortly after 7.

Yesterdays trip to CaptialCity was good. Too many people, and too warm, but I got just about everything that was on my list. I did forget creamer, but before I got to Shady Acres for dinner I’ll run to the gas station to see if they have any there, along with milk.

I got a Roku. Lemme tell you, it’s feakin awesome. So awesome, I’ve unplugged the Chromecast, and it’s in a drawer right now. If Roku continues to be awesome, I’ll give it to my parents and they can put it in the camper. I bought another Chromecast for my mom for her craft room. That’s a total of 3 at Shady Acres. I’m totally dragging them into the 21st century.

Everyone’s wondering, will you come out tonight

Good morning motherfuckers. It’s a somewhat bright and shiny day out. It’s windy, and we have a heat advisory active for the next two days. I’ll have the fans going when I leave at 8:30.

You heard that right. Ya boy is going on a road trip to CapitalCity this morning. It’s another trip to see how much I can get done in the shortest amount of time. And of course everything is all over the place. It should be a fun time of yelling at the idiots in front of me.

And traffic lights.

TinyTown doesn’t have traffic lights.

All in an effort to get back in time for the grad parade, which I’ll be streaming live down to Pensacola.

But first it’s coffee and contemplation. It’s also time for allergy pills.

Pippin is wide awake and tromping/running around the flat. I’m sure she’ll play for a little bit after I leave, and then fall asleep. I shut toaster off for the day, as it’ll be less stressful, as she’ll be alone all day.

So let’s get the day started!

It’s Friday, I’m in love

Good morning, hap hap happy Friyay!

Finally, we freakin made it. This week has been a looonngg week, and it really felt like it took double the normal time ti actually make it to today.

I e been excited to tomorrow. You see I’m heading to CapitalCity tomorrow for a day of shopping and spending time with, well, myself.

I have a list of places to go, and go I shall. I have Walmart on the list, book store, second hand store, pet store. All that happy stuff.

So let’s get this day started! Coffee has been brewed and is being consumed. Happy Friyay!

They could care less as long as someone’ll bleed

Good morning happy sunny Thursday! It’s nice and bright outside and I have a kitten in my lap. I woke up shortly after 6, but was able to ignore Pippin, and fall back asleep until the alarm went off.

It looks like it gonna be a somewhat nice day weather wise today. Finally. It’s been a rainy spring here. If we could get 3 days in a row of sun, with no rain, I’d be a happy camper.

But I’ll be sucking back some coffee this morning, in hopes that it’ll help me focus my eyes a little better. We’re almost to the weekend, we can do it!
