Midnight, and I’m a-waitin’ on the twelve-oh-five

The Beautiful One let me sleep in. I was able to ignore Chaucer in full asshole mode this morning. Repeatedly. For a cat that never makes a sound sure loves to scream just as we go to sleep, and again when he thinks we should get up.

Good times.

Work was a little crazier than the last couple of days. It seems like suddenly everyone remembered that they haven’t been out the house for like 4 days and they knew the exact place they wanted to go. My store. We also had two deliveries arrive within a half hour of each other. So yeah it was a crazy afternoon.

But since I didn’t have Sunday off, I’ll be doing all Sundays tasks today. So here I come laundry! I’ve run out of my thicker socks. So it’ll be nice to get them back again.

So yeah relaxing day. Maybe I’ll try and fight the big boss in Persona 5. We’ll see. Let’s get chore day started!

And some more coffee please.

When you’re in the party b-b-bumpin’ that beat

I’m awake.

Chaucer dropped another album this morning. It wasn’t very good. So technically I’ve been up for a while, but I’ve been trying to fall back asleep.

It did work. But it’s also a good thing. We got shit to do today. I have all the chores I didn’t do last Monday, plus laundry. And Crystal is making a couple of cakes today. One for the Christmas party for me, and one simply for personal use.

Like I said yesterday, we went grocery shopping. I was also supposed to get shit for my secret Santa at work. Of course I remember just about as I’m falling asleep that I totally fucked up and forgot.

Shit-balls.

I’m a little lucky that my Santee, won’t be able to make it. I fucked up, but I’ll make it right. Just a lot slower.

More coffee please!

So deck those halls, trim those trees, raise up cups of Christmas cheer

I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I was very snuggly. I tried to snuggle The Beautiful One, but the way she lays when she’s watching her TikTok’s, is pretty much impossible to snuggle her. But I tried anyways.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. It was busy in the morning, and as the day went on, it slowed down a little. By the time we arrived at closing time? It had pretty much fallen off. But we got what needed to be done.

But now I’m on some days off, which are really nice. I’ll pop out to the tiny grocery store to see if they have any poinsettias. If they do I’ll get one for my grandmother for Christmas. I don’t want to, and can’t afford to get her a drawer full of sugar free candy.

But it’ll be chore day here today. And a massive fight in Persona 5 Royal. It took Crystal most of the day yesterday to finally beat the boss. So I’m definitely not looking forward to the fight. I’m gonna change to easy, before the fight. Hopefully it won’t take me 5 hours.

Fingers crossed.

Coffee.

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Got started a little later than normal. I was a slug and didn’t want to get out of bed due to the warmth it was providing to us. But soon or later I’d have to emerge from my cocoon. So I figured it was time, and my body lurched to life.

It’s Sunday, and Crystal tells me it’s just about time for some freezing rain. Well, that’ll be fun for sure. Who doesn’t want freezing rain. It sounds like a perfectly good gift, considering the streets in TinyTown are pretty much just pure ice with some gravel thrown on it.

So, sure. Let’s add some freezing rain to the mix.

It all be fine. We’re a hardy people here.

Hardy.

Says the man that preheats his bed, because he’s a princess that prefers to have a warm bed, so his toes don’t get cold.

Yep. It’s a Sunday. Chore day. Laundry will be starting soon. Just after some more coffee to you know, help focus the eyes.

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

The Beautiful One let me sleep in! We’ve just climbed out of bed. I think I really needed it. It was the best sleep I’ve had in at least a week. I was not disturbed by kittens or any other outside forces. It was a restful and restorative sleep. I woke up felling better than the day before.

Yesterday was a day to be sure. I worked first thing in the morning and watched my coworker take his time for pretty much anything. One task that we have to do is environmental stuff. It literally takes about 10 minutes to start and complete. It took him just about 5 hours to complete it.

What the fuck?

I don’t know. I simply don’t know. But that’s ok.

Today, I have nothing planned. Not going over to Shady Acres, because I’m freakin sick, so we’ll do special breakfast, and dinner today. Other than that, it’s snowing out, and I don’t even want to leave the house.

So that’s the day. Chores, food, and probably video games. And coffee.
