Gosh your lips look delicious

Omg guys! It’s the day before the night before Christmas! That’s right, bitches only a few short hours before the fat man comes into your home, eats your snacks, and probably puts your clothes on to see if your skin will fit him. But if he likes the snacks that you’ve left out, he won’t take your skin, and he’ll actually leave a present for you.

Hopefully that will be the outcome when he comes to The Flat. I hope he’ll like the snack that we have. I’ll leave a note apologizing that we couldn’t leave the snacks out for him, because we have cats. And they’d eat the snack if it was left out. But in the note I’ll tell him where he can find it.

Yesterday at work was a busy day. It started off slow, but really picked up the closer we got to when I had to leave. I was given the choice of leaving 15 minutes early, or sticking around to cover the counter. I covered the counter, and I was glad that I did. We had a 25 minute rush, and three people were absolutely needed.

After work, I had been summoned to the old job. I was a little nervous, but way more curious about how much stock was left. Well, I walked in, and I could tell old BossLady was in the bathroom. That’s fine, it gave me all the time I needed to take some pictures of the shop. It’s empty. But not empty at the same time. It almost looked like how a store like that is supposed to look like. After some small talk, I was on my way with two bags of fabric for Crystal, and two small presents for each of us. For Crystal, she got a beret from the store. We recognized the hand written price tag. I got a toque with a light built into it.

I got back to the flat, and showed Crystal all the fabric, there’s some good stuff in there for some pants. Some really funky fabrics. From there, we headed out for date night at the local restaurant. I had wings, and Crystal had the usual. Of course, it was yummy like it usually is. We ate, paid, and left back home again.

From there, I played No Man’s Sky until it was time to shower. Shortly after our shower, it was time for bed. We slept, but we were both up early, me around 6, and I don’t know how long Crystal was awake before I woke up. This afternoon might be nappy time. We do have to go out to SlightlyBiggerTown this morning for some last minute presents, food, and some weed.

Since I’m working tomorrow, I’m going to try to get the chores done this afternoon when we get back. We also have to stop by Shady Acres, as my mom is making some cornbread for Crystal – so we’ll have to grab the other ingredients for her cornbread stuffing.

Well, I’ve written a novel here, so I’m gonna hit submit and get some more coffee. Happy Saturday. Make sure you’re getting flesh strips ready for the reindeer. They have a taste for human flesh, if you didn’t know that. Human flesh, or squirrel. They can’t tell the difference. Weird, huh?

Hip-hip-hooray, for Christmas vacation

Hey hey people out in the wild interwebs. It’s another day, and if you see the tags associated with this post you’ll be saying “That Shawshanknis an idiot, or he’s not fully awake yet, because he’s using tags for the day before. That’s just not right. That boys not right.” Well, you’re correct. I’ve used the tags for Sunday. But we had to go out yesterday, and also bake, so I figured I would do the chores today.

So that’s what’s going to happen. It’s chore day here. In a man hour or so, I’ll be firing up the ol washer and dryer. Then I have to figure out what the heck to cook for dinner. Maybe it’s because I’m just awoken, but I have no ideas yet. We’ll figure it out.

Last night I had my staff Christmas party. It was just a small thing, BossLady had a couple of games to play, and everyone brought food. I brought the famous pumpkin chocolate chip cake, which, by the way, everyone just loved. I won a couple of the games, and won some coffee mugs, and some scratch tickets. I may or may not have won $10. I’ll take all the tickets into work and see if they were a winner or not. It was a fun time. Everyone left laughing and joking around.

As soon as I got up this morning, Pippin was requesting a shoulder ride. So she rode around on my shoulder as I got the coffee prepared, and ride on my shoulder back to the couch where she jumped off, and immediately wandered over and got on my lap, much to the dismay of Chaucer.

She’s silly, and very snuggly this morning. She’s in for a surprise when I need to get up to get more coffee. I’ll hold off as long as possible. She looks so comfortable. Happy Monday my friends. It’s the start of a nice week. Let’s have a great day!

Update: OMG my guys, I just remembered we’re having brunch today! Woot! Woot! La Push baby, La Push!

It’s time for Christmas Day (Go Jenna) buy a small tree like Hoda Kotb for the holiday

It’s Sunday morning, and it feels warmer today, than it was yesterday. That means that the wind has finally died down. It was crazy yesterday. It was supposed to go away in the early afternoon, and it slowed, but it never actually went away.

Work was pretty good yesterday. It was somewhat busy, right after we opened, but died off to a trickle, then picked back up again. It was a good day. I learned how to dip. That was exciting.

I got home and made a few slices of bacon, and then tots, and finally cheeseburgers. It was a glorious meal to be had. We had it, and we were totes full. It was so good. I can fry up a really good burger.

Today is supposed to be chore day, but I have a staff Christmas party to go to today. I’m kind of annoyed that Crystal can’t come, but it’s an unsanctioned party after hours at the shop. So I can understand. I’m not going to stick around too long. But since it’s the Christmas party, and a secret Santa thing, I have to go and get my santee their present, and get a box of cake mix and frosting to bring tonight.

Also Subway.

So yeah, all chores will be taken care of tomorrow, that includes brunch. I’ll also be stripping the bed, and washing that as well.

Next weeks schedule should fly by – 3 opening shifts, a mid shift, and a Sunday shift. This week will be going by quickly I hope.

But for right now – coffee and contemplation. Happy Sunday, you bunch of glorious assholes!

“It’s Sunday, it’s brunch day. Are you ready for a piece of bacon?” – Crystal to Chaucer. Just minutes ago.

The coffee has finished brewing, and Chaucer is in between us, and snuggly and purry. It’s Sunday. And all the light in the world is gone only blackness. Blackness and snow. That is an our life now. Winter is here.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. We got up and did our morning thing, like you do. Coffee, and Dateline. I got up and cleaned off the Hot Mess Express, since I didn’t drive it to work on Friday. I wanted to clean it off before date night. From there, we hopped into my mom’s truck and headed off in an easterly direction to SlightlyBiggerTown.

Shopping went very well. We got what was on the list, and a couple of items that I forgot to put on the list. It was busy. A little busier than normal. When we were finished, we roll up to a check out. No one is there, but the light is on. This is normal. The cashier is usually a couple lanes down, normally bagging. So we get all the product on the belt and someone comes over and tells us that the cashier was there but forgot to shut off her light, and that she would be over when she got her line down.

No problems. Were patient.

After a couple of minutes, I think the manager came over to check us out. We got everything bagged, and headed on our merry way. We hit up the dollar store, and then the pharmacy. After those to places, we popped over to the weed superstore and grabbed a little something something.

We came home and I dropped off mom’s truck and walked back for a very quick lunch. After lunch I got a turn on the switch. Well not a turn, I asked if I could play and an enthusiastic yes from Crystal. I’ve been all work and no play during the week so it was nice to settle down and play.

I played before and after dinner. No Man’s Sky is great, but is very slow. Usually after about an hour and a half of playing, that’s when actual stuff starts to happen. And true to that, I slowly started to move the main story line forward. Then you notice that it’s 9pm. So I logged off and made some hot chocolate for the both of us.

Holy cow, I’m talkative today. Happy Sunday, let’s kick some chores in the balls and claim the day!

Another dark morning. Coffee is brewing, and I’m struggling to shake the cobwebs from my head. It was a pretty good sleep. I’m still tired though. I don’t know if I’ll ever not be tired, but here we are. Good morning my friends, welcome to Sunday!

I’m pretty sure I was asleep before my head hit the pillow. The last thing that I remember is calling for Chaucer, who was singing the song of this people. I think I was still awake when he finally jumped up onto the bed. I don’t think I was awake when he finally got comfortable.

We’ll never know. Chaucer doesn’t speak English.

But here we are. When I’m finished with this post I’ll be getting up and doing laundry. We’ll probably have three loads this morning. I have to wash the sweaters that I wore all last week. Other than that, it’s a typical Sunday, which one difference: I go back to work tomorrow. The days of having three day weekends are over!

That’s ok. A normal schedule is just fine with me. I just gotta get used to it. Once I am, we’ll be right as rain.

Ok, let’s get comfy for a bit. Wake up for a little while, then it’s time for chores. Need a little more coffee in the system first. Plus Chaucer is on my lap.

Happy Sunday friends!
