It’s getting freaky on the floor feel that rumbling sound

Good morning world. We’re all awake here. Chaucer is crying to try and trash talk Pippin. Pippin is off somewhere doing Pippin things. The coffee has given us a gift this morning, in the form of liquid energy. I had a good sleep.

I can’t remember if I got up in the night. I think I looked at the clock at one point, but I don’t remember what time it was. I slept like the dead. I’m not too sore this morning. Over at Shady Acres, we ended up moving 3 beds. One from out of my mom’s room – that one will be sold on Facebook marketplace. One from my grandmothers room to my mom’s room. And my dad’s bed from the basement, up to my grandmothers room. Then some things out of my dad’s basement room, up to his new room upstairs.

Whew. I hurt this morning.

Thankfully, there’s nothing to do today. Other than the typical chores for a Sunday. Plus, brunch. We can’t forget the goodness that is brunch. There’s nothing else planned. Possibly a nap this afternoon. Maybe not. Who knows, the whole day is ours to do what we want.

I need more coffee. Have a super Sunday my friends!

Good morning, my friends. It’s Monday morning, and it snowed just a little last night. I shovelled off the lanai this morning. it’s also a little brisk out there. It’s our week for a bit of a cold snap. It’s currently 0°, but it’s -11° with the wind. Oh, and that’s in freedom units. For °C, it’s -18°C, -24°C with the wind. Thankfully, there’s no plans to actually leave the house today.

I think possibly, we’ll do the same thing as yesterday – watch some TV, and then take a nap. There will probably be a nap, there’s something that I wanna do tonight before going to sleep to get up for work. I wanted to do it last night, but we were both wicked tired. I was falling asleep a little as we were watching some TikTok’s. So yeah we’ll have adventures tonight.

Like I said, we didn’t do a whole lot of anything yesterday. We did the weekly chores, and then turned on some nature shows, and fell asleep with two kittens all curled up on top of us. I had hoped that I’d be able to nap a little longer than I did, but maybe today we’ll nap a little longer.

We got home from Shady Acres, and I was looking for something to watch. I stumbled upon Chicago. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen that, so we both snuggled in to watch it. It’s a good entertaining story.

So it’ll just be a great relaxing day here. Brunch, and naps are on deck for the both of us. I mean the cats are always down for a good nap, they’ll be happy when we snuggle in. Hell, they’re already snuggled in here.

Happy Sunday Monday everyone.

“It’s Sunday, it’s brunch day. Are you ready for a piece of bacon?” – Crystal to Chaucer. Just minutes ago.

The coffee has finished brewing, and Chaucer is in between us, and snuggly and purry. It’s Sunday. And all the light in the world is gone only blackness. Blackness and snow. That is an our life now. Winter is here.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. We got up and did our morning thing, like you do. Coffee, and Dateline. I got up and cleaned off the Hot Mess Express, since I didn’t drive it to work on Friday. I wanted to clean it off before date night. From there, we hopped into my mom’s truck and headed off in an easterly direction to SlightlyBiggerTown.

Shopping went very well. We got what was on the list, and a couple of items that I forgot to put on the list. It was busy. A little busier than normal. When we were finished, we roll up to a check out. No one is there, but the light is on. This is normal. The cashier is usually a couple lanes down, normally bagging. So we get all the product on the belt and someone comes over and tells us that the cashier was there but forgot to shut off her light, and that she would be over when she got her line down.

No problems. Were patient.

After a couple of minutes, I think the manager came over to check us out. We got everything bagged, and headed on our merry way. We hit up the dollar store, and then the pharmacy. After those to places, we popped over to the weed superstore and grabbed a little something something.

We came home and I dropped off mom’s truck and walked back for a very quick lunch. After lunch I got a turn on the switch. Well not a turn, I asked if I could play and an enthusiastic yes from Crystal. I’ve been all work and no play during the week so it was nice to settle down and play.

I played before and after dinner. No Man’s Sky is great, but is very slow. Usually after about an hour and a half of playing, that’s when actual stuff starts to happen. And true to that, I slowly started to move the main story line forward. Then you notice that it’s 9pm. So I logged off and made some hot chocolate for the both of us.

Holy cow, I’m talkative today. Happy Sunday, let’s kick some chores in the balls and claim the day!

Here we go again. Another Monday. A new week is on our doorstep. But wait, did y’all see the score of the Dolphins game from yesterday?

That’s insane, huh? Miami must have done the Annexation of Cuba. It’s the only way they could’ve won by that high of a score. So yeah, that came from out of nowhere for sure.

Yesterday was pretty nice. I did the chores through out the morning, and the beautiful one played some Skyrim. She was kicking some ass, killing some random people so she could be cool and fit in with her new friends that she’s making. I’m happy that she’s fitting in. Usually, overachievers don’t get to fit in with the others, but she’s doing very well.

After Skyrim, we went over to Shady Acres for dinner. It’s always quiet over there. Mom talked to one of the cats as she just randomly made a pie for desert. A couple weeks ago we helped to pick the apples from the tree in the back. She’s been drying apples, and all that. She has a ton of apples to still process.

Short story long, the pie was very good. I enjoyed it. The whole dinner was really good.

I can’t talk for Crystal, but I slept like the dead. I did get up in the night, I’m still refusing to look at the clock. I did my thing, and as I’m walking back, I step on a giant carrot cat toy, which made some noise, but not enough to wake up Crystal, or the kittens.

And now here we are. It’s brunch day. That’ll start in a few hours. Who knows what’s on the deck for today. So far, I can’t think of anything that I have to do today. so let’s just play it by ear.

So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone

I’m awake.

The sun is slowly rising. It’s a little gray out there. But according to the weather app, it’s supposed to be, after a little rain, which I’ll doubt we’ll have, sunny and 80° out there today. It’s a perfect day for brunch later on this morning.

I went to bed, and pretty much passed out. I got up sometimes in the night, just to quickly slide back into bed. I have no idea what time it was. It was dark out, I can tell you that much. It was a quick in-and-out. I didn’t even feel Crystal get out of bed. Or her getting in after the fact as well. I was out like a light.

On Friday, Crystal sold another pair of pants! So this morning we’ll be heading up to the post office to ship them out. It’s an international package today, which is pretty cool. Crystal’s designs don’t recognize borders. We’ll get them shipped out this afternoon

Also, after Bruch, we’ll be unveiling some new tye-dye designs. That’s right, we did more yesterday. Crystal had a couple more pants to do, and I found a pair of brand new never worn socks, so for some fun, I did those as she worked on her pants.

We have Chaucer sitting in between us this morning. No kittens snuggled with us this morning. That’s ok, sometimes they have other ideas. it’s all good. We have coffee.

So let’s get the day started! Get your IV of coffee and greet the day with a hearty HELLO!
