Ain’t got no picture postcards, ain’t got no souvenirs

Good morning y’all. I hot up in the middle of the night, because unknown forces managed to get my mask off of me in the night. So I had to find that, and figured, why not go to the bathroom? So I bird boxed my way to the bathroom m, and did my thing. I want back to sleep.

Pippin didn’t scream this morning. She was actually snuggled in her nest in between us. I don’t think she even got up when I stumbled to the bathroom around 3 am. She was a really good girl for not screaming until we (I) woke up.

It’s a bright and sunny day out there. It’ll probably be a big change when we wake up tomorrow morning. You see, we’re expecting snow tomorrow.

Today’s gonna be a lazy day. But a lazy day that I have a lot to do. I have my Sunday chores and of course, Sunday brunch. It’ll be a nice relaxing day. Maybe, I’ll even play some Balatro.

More coffee first.

Feel it quietly, tryna silence me, yeah

With a Pippin on my lap, we’ve started a new day. It’s a rainy one out there. But if it’s not snow, I’m not too annoyed by it. The farmers will say we need the rain, so I guess we need the rain.

I don’t need the rain.

But I’ll allow it.

We didn’t get off the couch yesterday. We sat on it all day. We did a marathon of the Hunger Games movies. As luck would have it, as I was looking at my on this day posts, 4 years ago I did a Hunger Games marathon.

It was a good day, with us roasting the movies as they played. They’re not bad movies, but the makeup got worse as the movies went on. Jennifer Lawrence’s face looked like it got rounder, and flatter as the series went on. If there was one more movie, I fear she’d have looked like a full moon.

Today, is the normal Sunday stuff. Laundry, and chores. Then brunch. Mmm bacon. Then, in the afternoon, we’ll head over to Shady Acres for dinner. Just another normal Sunday.

The feast that I’m gonna make, could cause a huge erection

Good morning. Instead of the gentle, hey time to wake up, I got the Tiny One standing on my shoulder, or on the bed, or in the hall, screaming that it’s time to wake up, and open the door for me.

So I roll out of bed, and stumble to the kitchen to turn on the coffee. Bathroom. Tv. Feed the Needy One, and then what she wants, the door open, and the table put there.

She got a table ride to the door. That’s where she is right now. We got a break from the screaming for an hour or so, and then she’ll come into the living room, and scream at us.

Good times.

But it’s Sunday, and that means chores. I’ll start them shortly. Shouldn’t be too bad since I did the chores last Monday when I was off. But the laundry will be started soon, along with the rest of the chores. Rest assured, we’ll have clean clothes for the week.

Also, brunch.

But it’s bright and sunny out there with a high of 34°. That’s not too shabby if you ask me.

The moon’s awake now, with eyes wide open

Good sunny morning. The snow is melting, and the sun feels warm on my skin. pippin asked very nicely to have the back door open, so she can sit in a sun beam, so that’s what I did. She’s currently taking in all the sun sitting on a little black table.

Work wasn’t too bad for an all day shift. We got there about a half hour before we opened, and I got the store set up and ready to open. There was the initial OMG they’re open, I can finally get that 20oz coke that just the thought of it has kept me up for the twelve hours that the store wasn’t open. After the initial rush it slowed down again.

That was the day pretty much. By 3 we were already getting started on our closing checklists. By the time we were closed, there was one car that did a pass close to the store. Close enough, that whomever was in the car would see that the sign was off. Then they pulled right up to the door, my coworker went out and said we’re closed.

That’s what I don’t get about the townies. They’re just so used to us being open, they don’t even learn our hours. At least once a shift I’ll tell a regular our hours. Like yesterday a regular came I. Around 5:30, and said what time do you close? Am I that woman? We laughed and said no, we close in a half hour. Aside one month that we were closed on Sundays, it’s been the same hours for at least 2-3 years.

I’m off for the next two days. Today will be the chore day, and tomorrow we’ll go and have some fun. But before the fun there’s some cleaning to do, and of course brunch for lunch. We’ll just have to figure out dinner.

Tomorrow, we’ll head to NextProvinceOver to check out some second hand stores. We’re starting to go a little stir crazy due to the Long Winter. So we’ll head out tomorrow and be tourists for a little while.

Elphie, come on, we’ll be late for Wizomania!

Pippin was very insistent this morning. So I let her under the covers. She didn’t stay too long and was off doing Pippin things again. Up to and including, standing on me and screaming. Standing on the bed and screaming. Standing in the bedroom and screaming. And, I cont forget this one: standing in the hallway outside the bedroom and screaming.

She’s just looking for Chaucer.

I slept pretty good. I was slowly starting to wake up around the time that Pippin was starting, but she quieted down for a few minutes, and I managed to fall back asleep again.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. Like I said in yesterday’s post, it didn’t actually snow. It just looked like it was going to all day. But we managed not to get lost in the new grocery store, and did our other rounds, making it home just a little earlier than normal.

We didn’t do too much after putting away the groceries, and having our subway lunches. Crystal play Balatro, and I think I watched YouTube shorts or something like that. We just spent time together. No! I remember! I browsed Reddit on Crystal’s laptop!

I made wings for myself for dinner, and chicken strips for the Beautiful One. After dinner I gave her the option of an early bath and movie, or just a movie. Crystal chose to just watch a movie, so I put on Wicked.

Why is it part one? Why wasn’t it markets as a part one?

I really liked it. Course I’m going in 1000% blind. I’ve never seen The Wizard of Oz, or really anything related to Oz. Other than I think a SyFy mini series called Tin Man. But does that even count?

Today – chores, coffee. We’ll be heading over to Shady Acres to celebrate my dad’s birthday.

But back to work tomorrow. Yay.
