She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul

Posted on by Shawshank

Ugh. Good morning. I think I slept in one position again last night. I think mostly I slept on my left side m, because my shoulder is paining me this morning. But here we are. The Flat is awake.

We did the usual things yesterday. Grocery store, weed store, but we made a quick trip to Tim Hortons for a small birthday present for my dad. Then it was off to Subway for a quick to go lunch. They remembered Crystal and they mostly knew her order.

We came back and had lunch. Then for some reason, I decided that I couldn’t keep my eyes open, and I mostly napped on the couch all afternoon. If I was smart, I would’ve just gone into the bedroom. I thought if it at one point, but was too lazy to actually get up and go into the bedroom.

After a wonderful Perogy dinner, we sat down and watched Road House 2024. Lemme tell you, this movie slaps. It actually stands on its own. If you go into it, not expecting anything, you’ll be surprised. I mean it shares basic plot points, and the name of the main character. That’s it. It’s a pretty good popcorn flick.

Today is chore day, and then we’ll be heading over to Shady Acres for dinner, and to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Finally we can celebrate someone’s birthday with their presents that arrived on time. I actually ordered and received them in time!

But first chores.

And coffee.

Mostly coffee.

Kissing, I hope they caught us

I’ve gotta start taking more pictures. I’m starting to double up the featured images here. This one I’ve already used. Last week I think. It’s all good.

Good morning my friends. It’s Sunday, and you know what that means- chores and bacon. Bacon and chores. I did the laundry yesterday, because I was given some bad, terrible news. I needed to do something, so I did laundry.

BREAKING NEWS: it’s motherfucking snowing. That is all.

I’m really starting to get tired of snow happening every day here. Stop snowing. On Tuesday, it’s gonna be spring. We have to start thinking like spring, and the one thing that you do, is not snow when it’s spring. So Mother Nature really has to get this out of her system.

Please?

We did a whole bunch of not a lot yesterday. Yes, I did laundry. But not much more than that. I did go to the grocery store for some milk and soda. Then later on in the afternoon, I popped over to the bar, and ordered a pizza.

It was ok. But not great. I mean, we probably won’t be ordering from the bar again. If we have a hankering for pizza, we’ll order on pizza night, then we can get some free appetizers as well.

But now, coffee.

Little darlin’, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter

Good morning my Sunday friends. Yep, it’s the end of the weekend, and we’re on the couch with our yummy coffees. I have Chaucer up on my lap, and Pippin is having some breakfast.

Spring is slowly making her way back to where we are. In the mornings, if I get up at a normal time, the sun is closer and it’s mostly daylight out. The days are getting longer. I can’t wait for the real spring. I’m getting tired of the marshmallow world.

We did the adult thing yesterday, and drove to SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries, and a trip to the “plant store”. You gotta love the euphemisms that I force you to read.

We went to the weed store and purchased some weed.

Then it was off to Subway for a quick to go lunch, then it was back on the road to TinyTown. We have it down to a science, and we’re back before 1 pm.

Chores will be started here soon. That’ll be fun.

More coffee first.

Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

Well, it is snowing out there. It hasn’t really accumulated too much around the flat, because the wind has never died down. I’m monitoring it, cause I’ll be trekking up to Shady Acres a couple of times today. Once, probably around noon, and then probably later in the day just to clean up what’s accumulated. My dad has a medical appointment on Tuesday, so he needs to have the driveway cleaned, so he can make it to the truck.

Since I’m supposed to be pushing a lot of snow, I decided to do the laundry yesterday. You know, one less chore today, because of the added snow shovelling chore today.

So it’s just the small chores to do this morning. Most importantly, there’s brunch to be made today. And we have to make waffles as well. So it’ll still be a busy morning. But an easy, busy morning.

But the snow is falling. And the wind is blowing. I think it’s going to be a cozy day, aside from the snow shovelling. We’ll be screwed if the wind decides to just stop, but for now, for the most part, Mother Nature is shovelling most of it. I can’t wait to see the snow drifts at work tomorrow. Hopefully the plow comes through a couple times today, and through the night. But we’ll see.

I need another cup of covfefe. But I have a tiny cat on me. Well, she’ll have to get up, and I think that she’s ok with that.

Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see

The coffee is brewing, and the sun is slowly rising over the houses here in TinyTown. It’s another day. The last day off before next weekend. The cats are slinking around the flat this morning. I’ve already tried and failed to wrangle the cats.

I slept like the dead last night. I think once I got comfortable, I didn’t really move. So I’m a little stiff and sore this morning. That’s just me getting old though, so there’s that to look forward to, if you’re young and reading this. If you are, and you are, do everything possible to stay young.

Wear sunscreen.

Nothing much planned for today. Chores. Brunch. The typical Sunday fare. I actually like Sundays. I like doing the chores. And eating the bacon. We had a highdea last night of taking our garlic and mozzarella breadsticks and putting them in the waffle maker. We’ll have to report back if we do that.

We’re under a special weather warning for the next couple of days. A stupid Alberta clipper is flying through here tonight, and will be fucking up the weather for the next couple of days. They say we’ll be missing most of the snow, but we’ll be getting the winds. Oh, the winds.

I’d rather have the snow.

I need another cup of coffee, so I’ll sign off here. Crystal must be relieved that I didn’t put on the sage this morning. Last night, I was teasing her that we were going to binge Twilight all morning and hopefully complete it before heading to Shady Acres this afternoon.

Maybe I’ll still put it on. We’re wild, and crazy here. It could happen!
