Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Posted on by Shawshank

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.

Only one thing that’d make me do this kinda dance Nah, it ain’t this wine, that’s got me buzzin’

Sup. I’m awake. Chaucer let us sleep through the night I believe. I either dreamed that I got up in the night, or I actually got up in the night. We’ll never know. Either way I believe we (at the very least, me), actually slept through the night.

That’s a good thing for sure. I checked the schedule at work last night and found out due to just the pure luck of having a random schedule, I’m not a “key holder” all week. It’s like a mini vacation for me. I still have to do a lot of the tasks, but in my mind, I’m not the one responsible for everything. For example, I don’t have to prepare the nightly deposit, I get to dump the coffee!

But since yesterday was my Friday, I’ll be doing chores today. I got laundry and all that fun stuff to take care of. And as luck would have it, toaster will be coming out this afternoon.

This afternoon, we’ll probably pop out to the second hand store. And by pop out I mean warming the car up, and driving over. I’d walk but it’s too frickin cold out there to drag the Beautiful One out to walk.

Won’t make my mama proud, it’s gonna cause a scene

So, it snowed here yesterday.

And we drove in it. Going to SlightlyBiggerTown wasn’t too bad. Made pretty good time only 20mph below the speed limit. We shopped and got what we needed in town.

We started back to TinyTown, the roads got worse. I had to slow down as the roads were getting worse, and a couple of times I actually felt the back end start to slide, and slowly drift over to the shoulder of the road. But we made its back to TinyTown, not in the greatest time, but I wasn’t going for speed.

For entertainment last night, I noticed that Twisters was finally available to rent, so that’s what I did. When Crystal got out of the tub, we settled down and watched. I really enjoyed the movie, it totally stands on its own.

It’s chore day here, as I really try to avoid looking out the window. It’s a winter wonderland out there. I guess I should get used to it. I won’t see grass or bare pavement for 6 months.

But first, coffee

I don’t believe in God, but I believe that you’re my savior

Good morning. We’re awake, and I’m surrounded by kittens. Crystal is on the other side of Chaucer.

Oh, and it’s froggy out there again.

But to combat that, we have central heating and cats to keep us warm. And they’re doing a great job in keeping me warm, at least. The coffee is helping as well.

We didn’t do too much yesterday. I went up to shady acres, and to get a new dresser. I put it in my mom’s truck and drove it back to the Flat. From there, we drove to SlightlyBiggerTown for a couple of supplies.

After everything had been procured, we drove home, and are out Subway lunch. After lunch, I got red if the old dresser, and installed the new one in it home.

We didn’t do too much after that. It’s nice to be able to do nothing. It totally relaxed me, and I was ready to fall asleep by 8ish but managed to made it to bedtime.

Let’s kick the day in the nuts and get started!
