Sippin’ Whiskey out the bottle – not thinkin’ about tomorrow

Posted on by Shawshank

We made it y’all! It’s Friyay! I’m up, with coffee. I actually slept normal. No stuffed up breathing issues. No tossing and turning. I did climb on top of the weighted blanket some point in the night

It was a good sleep.

Tomorrow, with 3 days of hap-hazard training, I’ll be opening and running the shop for 4 hours. By. Myself. I fully expect all hell to break loose. I’ll be ok. I know I will.

The position is a lot more than what was in the paper. We all got a stern talking to about being in the office so long, then I was given more tasks that’ll keep me in the office.

I did some strong back weak mind yesterday. I helped move some furniture around and all that. When I go in today, if it hasn’t been done, I’ll unwrap the new couch. It’s blue. I’ll have to take a picture.

Ok, I need more coffee.

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Well I lived through another wine n design night. Didn’t get home until shortly after 10. Gulped down 15mg of melatonin, and chatted with Crystal for about 25-35 minutes. I guess it didn’t take long for the ‘tonin to kick in, i think i was out around 10:50. Then very quickly up at 5, worried about time. But went right back to sleep.

I have a headache. I hope the combination of Advil and coffee will help with that.

Today is the day in the Province, where if you’re in any business in the province you must wear a mask. I haven’t really worn a mask other than like 10-15 minutes in a Walmart.

That’s all I got this morning. I hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Here’s another fun little bookish thing. 5 questions, and the first couple don’t count for me, but I’ll answer them as if they did count.

I know, I know I should be tagging back to the original poster, and then tagging people I want to hear from. I’m just answering these for fun.

1. What’s your favourite bookshop?

My favourite books shop would have to be the Barnes and Noble in Warwick, RI. I just wish that they’d concentrate more on books, and not toys and junk like that.

2. Do you preorder books?

I don’t. Well, that’s a fib. I’ve preordered once. I preordered Written in My Own Hearts Blood. It was ok, it was delivered to my kindle on release morning.

3. Do you have a monthly buying limit?

Lol I buy exclusively at second hand stores, where the books are .50c-$1 each. The selection sucks most of the time, but sometimes I get lucky and find some pretty awesome books.

4. Is your book wishlist big?

I don’t know how to answer that. Size is relative. I have about 25 books in my wishlist. I’m sure others out there have 100s in the lists. So, 25 would be small.

5. What 3 books from your wishlist do you wish you had now?

Wow, now that you put me in the spot, this is a really hard question to answer. There’s so many good books on my list that I want to read this is actually giving me some anxiety. I mean what if I choose wrong? What if y’all think I’m just choosing books to look cool, and I’ll never read them? What if my choices are stupid?

  1. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E Schwab
  2. The Troop by Nick Cutter
  3. The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero

I’m gonna have to hit post, because I’m second guessing all my choices. Would it be easier if it were 5 books? Probably. It’d give me some padding at least!

Felt it in my hips – so I dipped back to my bag of tricks

Yesterday was good. The boss was getting her hair did, so we cleaned the shop, front and back. It shines in there now. I’ll be getting extra hours today, because we’re having another design night. So hopefully my first check will look pretty good.

So I get home last night and turn the TV to do my Duolingo German lesson, and Murder, She Write comes on. And I had a quick thought:

Do you think that Jessica Fletcher was a serial killer?

I’ll let you think about that for a while.

It’s dark out there. Like pitch black. And I’m awake. Coffee is brewing, and I’m just waiting for it. I slept pretty good until 6:14, when I think I was nervous about not hearing my alarm. So I was tossy turny. I did notice when I got up one of my blankets was on the ground. No wonder why I was chilly this morning.

Quick question; will weighted blankets help tossing and turning?

This is my first full week of work. I’m still very nervous, but excited. I really hope I can do everything. I need to save the money for when Crystal gets here.

Speaking of books, this isn’t a book haul or anything like that. Talking with Crystal last night. I said I found THE book. I don’t have to buy anymore books. That’s it, I’m done. I present to you

Boom. Mike drop.
