Get your booty on the floor tonight

Posted on by Shawshank

Morning everyone.

Podrick was being Podrick this morning, and going where he’s not supposed to be going. I’m not even mad anymore. It’s simply a way of life now.

So we’re up, and everything is picked up. I’ll pack away the clock once I start getting the laundry ready. It’ll go in the closet next to the box of Warhammer figures.

Work was surprisingly light yesterday. There was never a point during the day that we were overwhelmed. We got a lot of product onto the floor, we did some cleaning, and took care of the customers as they came in. It was possibly the easiest Sunday that I’ve worked in a very long time.

Still no tracking update on the Christmas package. It’s supposed to be delivered today, but who knows. Hopefully, it’ll get delivered so I can give Crystal her presents.

Laundry day today. Work tomorrow. Let’s just concentrate on today.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie’s a hand o’ thine!

Good morning, my friends! Happy Boxing Day everyone. The Beautiful One (with an assist by Podrick), let me sleep in until 8:10. Thank you very much. Podrick is currently stalking Pippin.

I have to check if SlightlyBiggerTown will be open today. I’d rather do the grocery shopping, and all that fun stuff today, rather than do it after work tomorrow. So after I post I’ll go and make sure everything will be open.

It was a really good day yesterday. We went to the nursing home to have Christmas lunch with gramma. She was doing very well yesterday. It was overwhelming. You could tell she wasn’t used to so many people in the home. But exchanged presents with her, and did a video call to my aunt and cousin. Another resident came in and sat with us, and followed us to where we were going to have lunch. The residents daughter found her, and took her back to their little celebration area. We gave hugs and kisses to gramma, and we went home for a couple of hours.

A couple of hours later, we headed over to Shady Acres, to exchange gifts with my parents. The bulk of the gifts will arrive on Monday, so I’ll head up there again, after their other presents are wrapped. But more importantly, Crystal’s presents are in there, so those will get wrapped first! The kitties presents are in that package as well. They’ve been very good, so they’ll get them, sans wrapping paper.

I opened up a present from my parents, and I got a beautiful pair of moccasins. New slippers! And they’re so warm! Crystal got a pair of mukluks, and we both got an air fryer, which I’m sure we’ll use a lot!

Back to work tomorrow. Working the weekend. That’s the way the cards are played; easy week, and slowly get used to working the full week again. It shouldn’t be too bad.

But let’s get some more coffee before anything actually happens. Happy Boxing Day everyone!

It’s dark out.

Up to about 15 minutes ago, it was dark in here as well. But Podrick started to get the itch. The itch to climb all over me. I could tell that was resisting for most of the morning. He went across me twice I believe. His paws hurt. He has no powers of silence or quietly walking around.

But it was around the normal time to get up, so I got out of the almost too warm cocoon of the bed. It was starting to get very warm. Sleep daddy was no longer talk to me, and just playing the background music. So I figured it was time to get up.

So yeah. That was this morning. We didn’t do too much yesterday. I shovelled the side walk, and hit up the tiny grocery store for some bacon for brunch this morning. I stopped at the post office, and picked up my parent’s Christmas present. I’m just waiting for the main package.

They have 1 day to get this shipped to me. The 2 packages have been late. But I guess that’s what happens when it takes the company like 9 days to actually start the picking process. Now that I’ve thought about this for a minute, I’ve already gotten a sorry for the delay $5. This package has everything in it. Crystal’s gifts, secondary gifts for my parents. The wrapping paper for everything.

I have a feeling that it’ll be late. I ordered with lots of time. But we’ll see. Technically, there’s still three days that it can arrive. Hopefully, it makes it here in time.

Time for more coffee. It’s Sunday my dudes.

Here’s to them underneath that burning sun do they know it’s Christmastime at all?

It’s still windy out there.

So I get into work yesterday afternoon. I pull into my usual spot, and realize I won’t be able to get out because of a snow drift. Long story short, I parked under the overhang. The acting manager neglected to tell us that if it gets really bad, we can leave. I found this out by sarcastically texting the general manager the photo above with Merry Christmas. That’s when he told us. We stayed until 15 minutes before closing. We hadn’t had a customer in 2 and a half hours.

Some idiots: (I think they have the thought – “if they’re open, it’s my duty to try and make it there to buy bullshit.”)

  • The old guy that has a portable oxygen unit comes in complaining that you can’t see the highway. Total white out. I ask why he came in then. His answer: rice. The wife is making cabbage rolls.
  • The woman in the sports car that came in for two cream soda dr peppers. 15 minutes later a regular comes in on a snowmobile, saying a sports car is in the ditch. Karma at its finest.
  • High school kids. Because, why not? I get it. You’re bored. But come on y’all literally just got your license. you have no experience driving in white out conditions.

Thankfully pretty much all the regulars came in as they were getting off work. I shovelled a couple of times. I’m not looking forward to digging out here at the flat. Then I quickly have to pop over to the tiny grocery store for bacon for brunch tomorrow.

It’ll be a somewhat busy day off today. Shovelling, bacon, and making pancakes. Crystal will say, nah but we’ll make them. There’s no wrestling on this weekend. The WWE is on Christmas vacation. And all the live shows have aired, and some that were supposed to be live have been filmed and aired.

So let’s ingest some coffee, and wait for the sun to rise. Boom, Shaka Laka! Let’s gooo!

It’s been a morning. A morning that Crystal took the brunt of it. I did my very best to ignore Podrick. Maybe I should have gotten up with Crystal. But she let me sleep in an extra hour, while she had to get up and deal with Pod.

Thank you, Crystal. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

So no major plans today busy laundry and Shady Acres later. I have to do laundry before we go. There’s some extra items in the pile due to the orange meatball not knowing his size.

Watched SNME last night. And contrary to everyone in the WWE subreddit, I enjoyed all the matches. Even John Cena’s. It was a good ending.
