‘Cause they love him in London and Paris and Tokyo America, Scotland and Canada and Mexico

Good gray morning. It’s gray and it’s been rainy, and windy. It’s supposed to be like this all day. I feel bad, it’s grad weekend. No grad parade yesterday. There was tonnes of wind, and it threatened to rain for the day.

Didn’t really do too much when I got home. I closed up some windows, as the wind was coming right in, and it was a chilly wind. Crystal was playing Balatro on the couch. So I figured today is a good day to play Balatro, and I started to play. It did not go well. I couldn’t make it out of the first couple blinds. I put my phone down. 5 minutes later, I tried again. It was a little better. Then it sucked, but I tried again, and got a couple good Jokers. And of course, I was surprised when I won.

After Balatro, it was dinner time. Crystal was first, working up her world famous Brussels Sprouts. She got the cut up, oiled, and seasoned. I put them in the oven, and we sat down just as the newest pay-per-view from the WWE – Money in the Bank. It wasn’t too bad. 3 hour PPV, and only 4 or 5 matches. And the first match out of the gate was the woman’s ladder match. I think by far the best match of the night. It was good, but so many ads. So many.

It was a nice relaxing evening. We laughed at the wrestlers and made up scenarios that we’d think the wrestlers would do.

Let me tell you Podrick has been really good in the mornings (and I just jinxed it), and is usually in bed snuggling The Beautiful One as she has her sensory amplifier pulled up over her head. It’s not the cotton dome, as that protects against outside attacks from Pod, it’s not designed to repel attacks from inside. I think her technology is more advanced than mine.

Rare opening shift tomorrow. Up at the ass crack of dawn. But let’s just concentrate on today – chores and Shady Acres.

Do you believe in Joe Hendry?

Zum Geburtstag viel Glück! 🎂

Podricks been a Podrick all morning. The BeautifulOne got up at the ass crack of dawn to take him out and distract home, because tomorrow, I’ll be up at the ass crack of dawn. Yep, for the first time in probably 3 months, I have an opening shift. But thankfully, I’ll be home in the early afternoon, and I’ll be able to sloth after that.

Finally, I beat a deck. The deck that’s been Medco g me for a couple of months. I was excited to unlock a new deck. But alas, earwax, I didn’t unlock a new deck. I didn’t really do anything, just beat the magic (or whatever that deck is called). I’ll have to go back to some of the older decks and try to beat them to unlock some more decks, like Crystal has.

We stopped at the local weed shop, and we wandered in. We like this place, the employees know who we are, and get our humour. So we walk in and I ask for my usual purchase, and ask if the big ol bag of weed that we get is on sale, and score! It is on sale. I then spy with my little eye, a new pipe. I pay for my purchases, and then Crystal pays for hers, and she bought me the pipe for my birthday!

Let me just say that I took it out for a test drive, and I passed out like that fool of a Took, after a hearty second breakfast. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out to dream world, until the flying tomato landed on my face this morning. thank you so much to The Beautiful One for getting it for me. I loves it so much. It’s my precious.

It’s just picture day here. I think this is my most photo heavy post outside of when I talk about the current video game I’m playing. But wait, I have one more picture: my dad just got out of the hospital for hip replacement last Monday, so I thought it would be nice to make him a snack basket, so my mother wouldn’t have to bake him snacks, and they could both rest. I have a $25 Apple gift card, (which part of it will be for Balatro, as we’re taking the Switch over and showing him. I really think that he’ll like it.) and a lot of snacks. I think he’ll like it. He’s hard to shop for.

She got tricks in the stash, stacking up the cash

The baby kitty was nice enough to let me sleep in a little bit. So thank you, little guy. Now he’ll terrorize for the next couple of hours, and then crash again.

I think my dryer is slowly dying. I’ll have to text the landlord later. I finished using the dryer last night, and just one pair of underwear is still damp. No biggie, I’ll just toss them in the dryer. They tumbled in there for about a half hour, and they were still damp when they came out again.

With the laundry down yesterday, I’ll just be giving The Flat a good once over. I have to clean up all Podrick’s toys. He loves to get them all out then use his ADHD to his advantage, and plays with all the toys. he plays hard, and then he crashes hard.

Later on, we’ll be getting into the kitchen, and creating. On the menu tonight – Scoobi Do pasta, homemade spaghetti sauce, and meatballs w/ raisins. I found a pie for desert, and we have a two foot long garlic bread loaf. Weee gonna eat like kings and queens tonight. With my dad in the hospital, mom will be coming over for dinner.

But before all that. Coffee. Lots of coffee. Oh, and the lord. Today is the lords day.

The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices

Good afternoon! I’ve been up since 5 this morning, when my alarm scared the shit out of me. I managed to shut it off, but accidentally turned on the second alarm, which went off around 6. At that point, Podrick had already been in the bedroom terrorizing Crystal while she tried to sleep. So she was up and getting dressed when I went in to shut the alarm off.

I worked this morning, and struggled to remember how to open the store while at the same time trying to instruct a new hire on how to open. But we managed to get the store open, and I managed to get the extra Saturday stuff completed before we opened. We opened on time, and a regular came in as soon as we opened – needing change. He had 3 $100 bills. I told him he’s my first customer, we literally just opened, there’s no way I can give you change without totally depleting my entire drawer.

Pippin and Podrick are slowly starting to get along. They still play the chase game, taking turns on who’s chasing who. But she’s holding her ground, and yesterday we watched Pippin get him in a headlock, and turned letting him go from the mid point on the cat tree. It was hilarious the expression on her face – pure boredom.

With my dad in the hospital getting a hip replacement my mom is alone, and she wanted to know what we wanted for dinner on Sunday. Crystal, using advance calculus and logic determined it’s easier for us to cook for an extra person than it would be for my mom to cook for two extra people. So we invited her over for dinner. We’ll be making homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs. I picked up a pie from work for desert.

So I’m doing laundry today, so I can do some cleaning for tomorrow. We’re not feral, the house is say 80-89% clean. I just need to do a few more things, as I was lazy last week and didn’t really do anything other than laundry.

Fun times huh?

But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back

Here we are, another Sunday. Another group of chores to do this morning. My mind, was firing on all cylinders yesterday, and I actually remembered to pull the bacon out of the freezer. So it’s already defrosted. Fuck yeah!

Yesterday? It was a sloth day for sure. We didn’t do a lot of anything. I figured out that I emptied my vape, so I ran to get another one. I picked up supplies for a cake for my mom for today. Oh yeah, just a heads up in case you didn’t know, it’s Mother’s Day today. I have a card and some snacky snacks for her for her day.

Old family friends that my mom was expecting in a few weeks called and said they were at the gas station just outside of town last night, so I scrambled to jump the Hot Mess Express so there was some room in the drive way. From there, I came home and made a wonderful Poutine dinner for us.

After we or really I watched wrestling. I dunno it’s just fun mindless TV. I think I figured it out; the person that comes out first will usually lose. Crystal mentioned that she never say the fabled Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker, and Mankind, so I found that, and she got to see a great match, that didn’t have a lot of wrestling.

Time to start the day. Pippin and Podrick are slowly starting to get along. It’s an uneasy truce. But Pippin stands her ground a lot of the time. Happy Sunday!
