Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen

I’m awake. I think I am at least. I’m just waiting to pour myself a cup of ambition. But it’s the middle of the week, and I don’t have to work this Saturday. So that’s what I’m looking for.

Still a kind of holding pattern for the house sale. Everyone is waiting for me now. And I’m waiting for it to be returned from the consulate. I find it kinda funny having to explain to all these people, who are loads smarter than me, how the mail works and how big Canada is, and how we have to wait for things. I had to explain to a paralegal that the closest FEDEX drop off is about 2.5 hours away. It’s frustrating, but also at the same time, funny.

I think my covfefe is almost ready. Praise the feline jeebus.

So, I cry, and I pray and I beg

Good morning! Happy Monday Tuesday everyone! I’m awake, I woke up early, my fan was making weird sounds when it oscillated, so I shut that off and fell right back to sleep. I couldn’t even tell you what time it was.

SlightlyBiggerTown was pretty good. Not a lot of things to do there, but I accomplished what I needed to do. The. I got to come home and build the shelving lol

Coffee time coffee time.

So, yeah, that’s about it. Just trying to wake up happy Tuesday everyone!

It’s been a busy day here at Shady Acres. I was up at my normal time, just a little before, I had a good morning text from Crystal. I had a couple of cups of coffee, peed a lot, then I was off to SlightlyBiggerTown.

I actually made a list of stuff I needed, and stuck to the list! More importantly, I remembered I had a list! I got some more shelving, because the Tv was on the top shelf, put on an angle with a book. I was afraid that it was going to fall down if a cat jumped up on the shelves.

Now the TV is level and not up so high. If you look close, there’s a grad picture of me hanging up on the wall.

While I was in SlightlyBiggerTown, I picked my mom up a cane. She has really bad arthritis in one of her knees. Hopefully it’ll help out.

Now I can sit and enjoy what’s left of my day off.

Good morning, happy Monday. I’m awake, but I don’t think my body is happy about it. I had a low level headache since yesterday, so today I’ll think I’ll take something today. It’s a little more than low level this morning.

It’s warm, but windy and grey out there. High of +5c today. That’s nice. The last two days it’s been either at or slightly above freezing here. It’s been a month or so since it’s been that warm here. It’s a welcome hello to us all here.

Coffee is brewing.

Today I have to go to SlightlyBiggerTown to do some shopping this morning. I’ll probably leave here in about an hour and a half. It’ll be nice to get out of TinyTown for a bit. Maybe I’ll call and chat with Crystal on the way there. I don’t want to interrupt her workout.

I miss her so very much.

I have to make a snuggly hiding spot for when she gets here. I’ll start designing it today.

Something Different – Downton Abbey

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds! I’ll be honest, right off the bat. I haven’t read a page this week, and instead of fluffing up a Book Club post, I figured I’d just tell you about the show I’ve been watching instead.

I am truly loving Plain Bad Heroines. I really am, but I’ve gotten in the groove of after supper, just watching an episode of Downton Abbey. It relaxes me to be thrust into 1920s high society. And it’s just enough time for an episode (not the season premieres or the finales, but the 2 or 3 regular episodes) to get a spoon or two back for the day, then I call the Beautiful One. The cares of the day fade away.

My ringtone is the theme song.

I love this show. I don’t know why. I’m very happy that I was able to finally find it digitally. I can’t even remember how I found the CBC Gem app, but I’m so happy I did. It is laughable that if I watch an episode on my phone, I get commercials. If I cast it, I don’t. Well that’s not true, one episode I got a total of 4 commercials, and the episode I watched last night, I got a random Downy commercial.

I just started season 3. (Again, I’ve seen the whole series twice now, this is my third viewing of it.) It’s something I look forward to each night. it’s a nice day to just wind down. And I can just lay there. Next week, I’m thinking that I’ll watch an episode one night, read the next. That way I get the best of both. I have missed reading this last week, but I’ll get back into it!

So yeah, that’s how I spent the last week. No complaints. Gosh, it’s nice to talk about my likes. I tried at work when they asked what I did the night before, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said I watched Downton. So I’ve learned just just say I read it watched TV.

It’s easier that way!

Until next time, book nerds!
