Somebody pour me a drink, somebody bum me a smoke I’m ’bout to get on a buzz, I’m ’bout to get on a roll

I was up early this morning. Not as early as opening shifts, like next week, but I was still up early. I had to be into work for 7 am to work on inventory. It’s so much nicer than a big box store. BossLady scanned the entire back room in about an hour or so, and we closed today to get the sales floor portion done.

We both got there at 7, and started to scan. Crystal lent me her wireless ear phones, and I found a Midsomer Murders podcast to listen to. I think I made it through the first 5 and a half episodes. I was half listening, as I was counting. At 10:30 ish the office manager came down and said everything that we had scanned over the last 3.5 hours disappeared. So we started over again.

By 12:15 we were working on the discrepancy reports, so BossLady and I left as our schedule said we only worked til 12. I’m at home and the chores have started.

Yesterday, I watched the final episode of The Grand Tour, aptly titled One for the Road. What a show. For 22 years these guys have entertained me with their antics. I don’t know a lot about cars, but these guys made it fun and interesting.

I’ll admit that I was crying when they go to their final destination. It was from their very first special 17 years ago. They did some amazing editing intercutting footage from that special into this one. Finally, at the end, Clarkson simply unplugged his microphone. Fade to black.

Wow.

I’m sure that I’ll tear up yet again, when I play it for my dad, probably next weekend. I don’t think that I’ll be ready for it. It might be too soon. But we’ll watch it together. We’ve watched every special together. So it’s only fitting.

Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right, right

It was a crazy busy day yesterday. Like I said yesterday, I worked until about 1:30, and then we were off to SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries, and a few other things. It was a really nice drive, really great weather.

Today, the beautiful one let me sleep in. And sleep in I did. The day is in full effect, and is beautifully sunny out. It looks like it’s gonna be a really great day out there. And once I’m finished posting this, I’ll have to get going on the chores. They’re already popping up in my phone.

This’ll be a short one. As I have a lot to do this fine morning. Of course, Shady Acres tonight. Back to work tomorrow afternoon. So let’s get this day started!

So I’ma love you every night like it’s the last night

Good sunny morning to all my minions that are out there! Big shout out to everyone that has a cup of coffee right now! Big ol coffee cup salute to the people out there, where ever you are, that are gonna do laundry this morning!

Laundry gang for life!

Coffee gang for life!

Other than that, it’s pretty silent out on the streets of TinyTown today. It’s a long weekend, and it’s a Sunday. It’s still a little weird to have a town so quiet, especially in the day time. It’s trippy when it’s pitch black out at night. During the day, sometimes, I imagine in my mind that there’s been an apocalypse , and we’re the last people alive. Then we go and loot and sit on the floor of the grocery store drinking room temperature White Claws.

But before all that, we gotta do some laundry and cleaning chores. Should be fun. Before we go to Shady Acres, we’ll prep for Toaster2 to come out and do some cleaning while we’re gone.

I only ring my southern belle with her boots on

Good morning everyone. I hope y’all slept well. It stormed here last night, loudly, and with a pretty beat light show. Oh, yeah, the wind was whipping too.

I know this because, I was up at one point during the storm. I got up, and stumbled into the kitchen to close the window – knocking over the large glass bong. I cleaned up the water, and closed the window. I wandered back to bed, and snuggled in again. I listened to the wind and the rain, before it slowly died down, and I fell asleep again.

I also turned on the alarm clock, otherwise it’s gonna be pretty hard to wake up tomorrow at 4:30. Yeah, I know I haven’t set the alarm in like a week, but it has to be done.

But before work can happen, chores must be done. I’ll be starting them in a little while, I just want to wake up a little first, then I’ll be hitting them full force. Boom!

And the girls on the bus kept laughing at us

I got to sleep in a little bit today! I got up sometime in the night, because my mask was missing. I quietly checked the floor, around the pillow and into the bed. I didn’t want to disturb Crystal, so I moved slowly, quietly, gently. But I couldn’t find the mask. So I put the old one on and went back to sleep. We found it in the morning. I didn’t see where Crystal pulled it from. Weirdness.

Since I did the laundry yesterday, I only have the cleaning chores to do today. So I’ll be working in that in a little while. It rained in the night, so I don’t know if I’ll be mowing my parents yard today. So that’s up in the air this morning. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.

So yeah, it’s a gray day out there. It’s definitely quickly turning to autumn here. That’s sad, because, winter is coming. I don’t wanna wake up to a foot of snow on the ground, but that’s definitely what is happening. It’s dark when I wake up for the opening shifts, and dark when I get home from the closing shift.

Ok, I need to refill my coffee. And, I have to prepare for brunch later on this morning. Hap hap happy Sunday y’all, back to work in the morning!
