Tag: chore day

I hope she’s drinking tonight, she’ll need a ride and I’ll have a Chevy waiting right outside

I know, I know, it’s not Sunday, but traditionally Sunday are my chores days, and today is a chore day, so goddamn it, I’ll use the tag. You can’t stop me. see, I know you’re try, but I don’t care!

Yesterday actually wasn’t too bad, considering I was working with someone that’s never worked a Sunday, and I think has only worked maybe 6-7 (🤣) shifts before this. The day went relatively quickly, for the most part. And of course, 5:20, the town collectively went “”holy fuck my dudes, I have wasted my entire day, so since the store is only open for another 40 minutes, I need to get me some gas, because I don’t know proper time management, and I am a bad person. But I’ll crack stupid ass jokes that I think are funny to the tired clerks, in a n effort to make them laugh, so I feel better about my inadequacies. But I digress. Me and NewGirl handled it, and within about 30 minutes, we had tamed the beast.

The next 10 minutes flew by. We counted everything. Double counted a couple of things, and then the lights were turned off, and we were on our way. I was going home, I have no idea where NewGirl went with her mom, I’m assuming home.

And that was the Sunday. Today is chore day, and brunch day, which will be happening a little later on. I’ll start chores first.

We didn’t do too much after I got home. I threw a pizza, and garlic bread into the hot box for dinner. We sat down and shoved both in our mouth. For 30 minutes it sounded like two apex predators were feasting on a gazelle that they took down. Cheese and sauce were flying. Afterwards, Crystal couldn’t find her vape, so I let her use mine. I jokingly suggested that Crystal preheat the vape. Then she sucked for a full 10 seconds, and didn’t choke to death. Fuck yeah!

Let’s get this day started.

Say what you will I done made the devil a deal

Good morning, party people. I don’t know if I was sleeping deeper, or if Podrick has found some humility, and didn’t become an asshole until a little later just before 7. It’s what I appreciates about him, sometimes just letting me sleep a little. the sun is starting to rise earlier and earlier, and set later at night. Spring is slowly clawing its way back out into the open. But, winter is coming. The north remembers.

Last night was me introducing the 16 year old I was working with to some 90s hip hop. After about an hour and a half, it branched out to 2000 hip hop as well. We were bumping to Wu Tang Clan, Naughty by Nature, and even a little bit of Snow, and Heartbreaker by Mariah Carey. It was a pretty good night music wise, and customer wise. It was steady, but not in the way that it was overwhelming.

Every time we looked at the clock, time had actually passed pretty quickly, which was tip top to us. Like I said I was working with a teenager, with a new drivers licence, and a new girlfriend, so of course it’s my job to get us out of work as quickly as possible. No one wants to stay longer than you have to on a Friday night.

Which brings us to today. I have chores to do in a little while, and of course brunch. We have to go grocery shopping, but we’ll do that on my next day off – Wednesday. Today, like I said, chores. Then after brunch, I’ll head over to Shady Acres, and clean the pellet stove, and fill some buckets. That shouldn’t take too long, the I’ll be back at The Flat.

So let’s get this day started, with a coffee refill, and a happy pill. Then once we’re feeling human, that’s when the day can start. The lords day. Happy Sunday y’all!

Pretend you’re not a mess, be the happy family in the front pew

Podrick got me up a little early this morning. He had the straw out of one of Crystal’s water jugs. I took it, but I know if I tried to go back to bed, he would escalate. It’s was 6:30. I had already been up once, maybe 20 minutes earlier.

So I’m up. I closed the door to the bedroom with Crystal, and Pippin in it. Hopefully Crystal will be able to sleep for a little while longer. She needs the sleep more than me. Podrick is being OK right now. He’s just following me around because he wants to be fed, but since Pippin eats in the bedroom, he has to wait.

I have to go over to Shady Acres today. I have to clean the pellet stove, and haul in probably 10 (oh god, I hope it’s just 10) bags of pellets. I’ll do that after my chores, and brunch here. So probably by 1 or so.

Two days off to do as little as possible. Think it’ll happen? Coffee first.

The forces of the morning (and Podrick) tire me from my slumber early this morning. I tried ignoring him. I really did. Finally I put him out of the bedroom, and listened to him throwing his shoulder against the door like a Terminator, and I was John Conner.

Eventually, he gave up.

For a while.

I mostly dozed, trying to get back into a deep restorative sleep. But 5 different sleep daddy videos couldn’t put me back to sleep. It felt like I was tossing and turning. The forces of the morning (and Podrick) were conspiring against me.

Fine, I’ll get out of bed.

Coffee on, lights, on, curtains partially opened.

Nintendo Switch controller x3, and the handle for the controller picked up. I had to get on my hands and knees to find the 4th controller. Nintendo Switch picked up, and plugged back in. Controllers back on the charger.

Good morning TinyTown. I do believe we’re ready to greet the day.

It’s chore day here, and I’ll be starting that in a little while. We’re not gonna go over to Shady Acres today. I will be for a hot minute, to clean the pellet stove, bring over the weekly town newsletter (for the last two weeks), and ask if I can borrow my parents vacuum, with the promise of bringing it back on Tuesday.

So busy day here. These are the plans:

  • Clean the fortress of solitude under the bed
  • Laundry
  • The usual chore
  • Clean the pellet stove
  • Vacuum
  • Brunch

I’m sure there’s much more to do, but I’m trying to be mysterious. Why would I tell you all the chores that need to be done?

Always keep them guessing.

I would write about the gorgeous day that we had driving all around and visiting a Walmart for the first time in a few years. And McDonald’s. Glorious McDonald’s. But she’s currently writing it up, so I don’t have a link to the post.

EDIT: here’s the link. You’re welcome.

Happy Sunday, bitches.

I’m ready for a nap that I won’t take.

Drink some holy water from a Dixie cup

Good morning my friends. It’s cold, it’s dark, it’s a day that ends in a y. Yep that’s right! Podrick is being 100% pure Podrick this morning!

Fuck yeah!

All sorts of banging and running around this morning. Mostly due to Podrick chasing Pippin all over the place. It’s been a morning so far, I tell you whhhut.

It was freakin foggy yesterday. I can’t speak for today, because it’s still fucking dark. It’ll be dark probably until around 8 or so. Then we’ll see what’s going on out there. I’m slowly starting to get tired of the constant dark. But slowly it’s getting lighter earlier.

Nothing too much planned for today. Laundry and whatever chores I have the energy for. I need to clean the bathroom sink. It’s starting to look … used. Then I’ll make some brunch. I’ll hand feed pieces of pancake to my beautiful wife, and then she’ll fling maple syrup at me, and we’ll laugh.
