Two more years and you’ll be done with school, and I’ll be making history like I do

Good morning party people. We’re up and sitting in the couch, on this gray, chilly, rainy morning. The Beautiful One, kicked out Podrick, and shut the door on him. I was out like a light again, and slept until her alarm went off. She, of course, was wide awake. Probably from about 4:30-5am. I don’t know how to help her stay asleep after that time. I really wish I could help her with that problem. It must be so tiring for her.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. At one point my coworker asked if it was gonna be busy or not, due to a rodeo the next town over. I had totally forgotten about the rodeo. I said it’ll probably be quiet. And it pretty much was. After 6, business dropped off. We still had people coming in, but it was just a handful of people instead of more coming through before we closed. We did have a couple of barrel racers come through with their mom to get diesel, and to get a propane tank filled up. That was the last large bill that came through. After that it was just the usual locals coming to get cigarettes and snacks before we closed.

Today is chore day, so I’ll be starting that in a bit. It’s too quiet, I think Podrick is planning something. But he’ll be helping me get the laundry sorted. He loves to dive through the clothes piles as they sit and wait for their turn in the washer. It’s cute. He’s like a clothes pile shark. Then we’ll head over to Shady Acres this afternoon for dinner. Work tomorrow afternoon. Coffee now, thankfully. Also, in a few hours, brunch.

It’s bright and sunny out there, so while Pippin was eating her breakfast, and in between making sure Podrick wouldn’t jump up onto the table to steal her food, I opened the back door, and then the front door. Then back to guard duty. Crystal took the Rick of Pods into the bathroom while Pippin finished her breakfast.

Work yesterday morning was slow as balls, but surprisingly, the morning went by really quick. Before we knew it, the next shift was there and ready to work. Woohoo, time to go! I stop and get the mail, and head back to The Flat. Podrick, inspired me to do the dishes, and clean up some of his toys while I watched the Great American Bash on Netflix. Crystal and I made fun of the wrestlers,

I cooked burgers and tots for dinner. And discovered that there is a way to watch Saturday Nights Main Event. It’s on NBC in the states, but the WWE puts it on YouTube for the rest of us heathens. It was pretty good minus the fact that there’s a commercial every couple of minutes – it’s usually about a 3-4 minute commercial. In the middle of wrestling matches. Crazy.

We’ll be heading to shady Acres this afternoon. I’ll be popping some allergy pills, and hopefully getting the riding lawnmower started, and then I’ll be mowing the back 40 for my parents. It’s past due for its two mowings a summer. In my defense, it has been a rainy summer so far.

Then, guess what? More wrestling! I’m pretty sure The Beautiful One will be getting tired of wrestling, but this should be a pretty good PPV – it’s an all women’s show! Evolution 2 will be on tonight. So we’ll start watching that a little late, cause we’ll probably be eating at the time.

Psst … Raw is tomorrow too. lol

We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage

Podrick let us sleep, until he didn’t. Thankfully I raised my arm when I did, otherwise a very solid 3 or 4 pound cat would’ve landed on my face. He’s just being, well, Podrick this morning. We was snuggled in between us this morning, then suddenly his tail caught his eye, and he chased it up and down us.

Look, they can coexist together!

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It was a Sunday shift – open to close. But it was a wicked slow start, with pockets of it being busy. We helped customers as best we could, while trying to keep the store nice and clean. It was my coworkers last day, and that means that I got to take a video of my coworker locking up the store. I actually remembered. I took the video, and wish him well with his wedding coming up in August, and him actually moving back to India. I can’t wait to get pictures of the wedding.

I have a weird work schedule this week. I’ll be doing the chores, and laundry today. I think I’ll have to head up to the post office and grab the mail and deliver it up at Shady Acres. I’m sure there’s bills in there that I should take care of.

But first, coffee. Lots of coffee.

Good sunny morning, party people! Who’s ready for a great morning? Podrick is up doing Podrick things. He truly loves to chase his tail on a sleeping body. He was just a little wild this morning. Crystal’s vape came right at him, so that set off the little orange firecracker. So far, he’s helped Crystal clean out the litter box, tried to wrestle Pippin, tripped me up as I walked to the kitchen.

It’s gonna be a busy day this afternoon. We’ll be heading over to Shady Acres, I’ll be helping my dad install a hot water heater. There’s a good chance I’ll be working with electricity, and soldering. The last time I worked with electricity, I shut the main power down to the house, and I was still freaking out. So we’ll see.

But before we head over, I’ll be doing the weekly chores. Laundry, clean the shower, etc. I’ll also be turning on the Night of Champions. I got spoiled with a couple of results last night while at work, but I’ll watch it anyways. But I’ll get most of the chores started before watching it.

Right after I refilled my coffee, I looked over at the back door. Both Pippin and Podrick were sitting nicely at the back door on the table. Now growling, or anything just two kitties looking out over the backyard, vibing.

Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake

Podrick was a good boy this morning, letting me (mostly) to sleep in. I don’t know what time The Beautiful One was woken up, but I assume that it was mere minutes before I finally woke up.

The coffee has been brewed, and is slowly being consumed. It’s gray outside, and looks like it’s rained a little, either in the night, or sometime this morning. I don’t know if I’ll be weed whacking over at Shady Acres this afternoon or not. For right now, I’ll just assume that that’s what I’ll be doing for at least the first hour when we get there this afternoon.

Twas a good Saturday. We got up and once we were ready, we grabbed the town wide garage sale map, and we were out on the town. I’m pretty sure we hit just about all of the sales scattered through town. I got a new coffee mug, along with one for Crystal. We also found high heeled sneakers, and some foam rollers for her. Oh, and a new pair of Bluetooth headphones for a steal.

Back to work tomorrow afternoon. I’ll be starting laundry in a few, after I can get my eyes to focus. Not too much to do, as I did laundry on my last day off, on Wednesday. But we’ll get everything ready for the next week.

It’s summer time, when is it going to start getting warm?
