She’s the only one who really understands what gets me, she thinks my tractor’s sexy

I came to, and it was dark. Sleep daddy’s lo-fi music was still playing in my ears. Podrick was raising hell, as he does on Crystal’s side of the bed, and when he didn’t get what he wanted over there, he’d stomp across my legs. He’d sit on top of the dresser which doubles as my nightstand, then walk back over me to terrorize Crystal again.

I have no idea how long The beautiful One has been awake for. Probably since at least 5 or 5:30. I feel bad. I hate it when you just wake up. It’s happened to me before.

So today, we’ll be bundling up, and heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. It’s not too bad out there. The wind has died down and we’ve just settled into cold. It’s -27° out there this morning. Compared to the last couple of days, and practically t-shirt and shorts weather.

And it’ll warm up a little more, when the sun actually rises.

Coffee will be the substitute until then.

It’s Saturday, y’all!

I’ll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas

Podrick was pure Podrick this morning. With that, I also had a very stuffed nose. Plus the bed was very very warm. So now, on my first of two days off, I rolled out of bed at 6:30. Needless to say, I’m really not impressed with Pod this morning.

I’ve been the last two days, enjoying my hyper fixation of the month. I’ve been watching rodeo shorts, ranch, and hat forming shorts on YouTube. It’s neat to watch the bull riders, the roping teams, and the barrel racers. It’s neat to listen to interviews of bull riders describe their injuries. One bull rider actually bought the bull that broke his neck.

So now all I see is country shorts. It’s not a bad thing I think I followed two hat companies, and a couple of rodeo pages. I’ve been enjoying seeing a different side of what usually watch so, it’s pretty good.

But good god, some bulls are freakin huge.

Two days in a row off. RAW tonight, and NXT tomorrow. I just want to relax. I have chores to do today. So they’ll get started a little later, brunch today. Everyone cross your fingers that we still have at least one slice of spicy cheese.

But I reckon heaven’s down there where you are

Happy Sunday everyone. Once again, Crystal took one for the team and kept Podrick somewhat quiet this morning. That means she’s up early, and on guard duty. She made sure I got to sleep in a little, and I love her so much for it.

Yesterday was a busy day. Not as busy as the day before, but we managed to pack a lot into a couple of hours. We took our time walking up, and then a little later, dressed. Then we were off. Stopping quickly at work, to get some fuel, and then we were off to the metropolis of SlightlyBiggerTown for our supplies for the next couple of weeks. We had a shopping list, but I totally forgot to pull it out. So we shopped by vibes. The vibes didn’t really follow the forgotten list, so there’s some things that I’ll be picking up this week from work, and the tiny grocery store.

My parents had a busy day as well. They were up early, and on the road pretty quickly after that. They were driving the 3 hours to another town with an actual really real car dealership. My mom found out the day before while grocery shopping, that my father made an appointment to trade in the Big Dog truck for something a little small that they can easily get in and out of. It too all day, but they made it back by 6, tired, and ready for bed.

So I guess it’s time to start the day. Laundry, and other chores coming up soon. More coffee is a definite, and my new pills have to be ingested soon as well. Might as well start the day while the sun slowly rises. Happy Sunday everyone.

Times get harder give me a fire starter, drench myself up in holy water

We’re up again. It’s a new day. Podrick likes to use the bed as a jungle gym, and bound overtop of me, and probably Crystal as well, but I can only talk about me. After 4 or 5 times of him bounding and climbing over me, I mumbled, asking what time it is. When told, I rolled out of bed, and fumbled in the dark to get dressed.

The kitties are up as well. They been fed. Podrick’s gone back to his bowl 4 times already. Pippin enjoys her private dining in the bedroom. I have to remember to wash Pippin’s bed when I do the laundry. Yes, I did the laundry like 4 days ago, but the week between Christmas and New Years, is a crazy animal. I believe that everyone should all just have the week off.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. I spoke of it yesterday when I got home. We worked out asses off to get the store your a good standard. Yes, I know if we just would’ve kept it to a high standard when the BossLady went on leave we wouldn’t have to work as hard. Yes. I agree. But I work with millennials, and Gen Alpha. They don’t move unless motivated. Now with a day left before the boss returns, they’re motivated.

Chores today. Not too much. Just laundry and some light cleaning. Podrick is tearing around chasing Pippin around. In a little while, they’ll have piles of clothes to block there clear running.

Laundry will start with the rising of the sun. Until then, coffee and murders.

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you

Sleep came quick last night, but I was up and down a lot. Instead of waking Crystal every time I wanted to know what time it was, I just looked at my phone. The first time I woke up it was 12:40, then 3:44, and then the alarm scared the shit out of me.

Alarm goes off.

I get up.

I turn the coffee pot on, do my bathroom stuff, and then turn on the TV. What’s this? No Dateline? Bombings? Oh shit, what a way to start the new year. Oh fuck my life, it’s Trump attacking a sovereign nation? Isn’t that an act of war?

Wait, wait, wait. He kidnapped the president of the country, and his wife?

This isn’t gonna be good.

I do my morning stuff, and when it’s time, I kiss The Beautiful One good bye, and minutes later, I’m at work. We cleaned for about 5 hours in preparation for the BossLady to come back to work on Monday. We now leave the rest of the cleaning list to the second shift crew tonight, and the same crew for tomorrow.

I’m tired, and my back hurts. But the shift went quickly. That’s a good thing.

Fish and chips for dinner.

House chores tomorrow. I still have half an episode of SmackDown! to watch.
