I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour, she calls me

Posted on by Shawshank

Morning everyone. Even sleep daddy, or for some reason cornfield chase, couldn’t even keep me asleep with the external sounds coming from the bedroom door.

Podrick.

It was an amazing sleep until Podrick decided that it should be time to dig, and play with charging cables. So Crystal did the right thing, and banished Podrick from the bedroom. And that usually works for a while until he deems it time for me to wake up.

Thugga-dugga. Thugga-dugga. Thugga-dugga.

I turned up sleep daddy, and then started the video over again. I think I dozed a little at that point. I remember starting the video, and then I remember that it was just the music. I slept a little at that point.

Thugga-dugga. Thugga-dugga. Thugga-dugga.

Time to get up. I leave the warmth of the bed, and roll into the cold harsh darkness that is the bedroom. I can mostly get dressed with my eyes shut. I leave the warmth of the bedroom, do the bathroom stuff, start the coffee, and I get the bowls to feed the kittens.

Kitties fed!

Yesterday was a nice day. I decided I needed something to do. So I did the laundry. I also have a meat board, and other snacks to make for the Royal Rumble. I have my $5 sports select bet that Joe Hendry will win the rumble. I’m confident. I have my I believe in Joe Hendry shirt on. I’m ready.

With our massive tray of meat, crackers, and various cheeses, we sit down and watch. They’re in Saudi Arabia, so it’s an afternoon pay-per-view. It’s nice to have a WWE show while it’s day light out. Most of the time they start at 7pm. So we watch the women’s rumble to start the show off. Of course the women put on a terrific first match. 30 women, one ring. I think their match lasted about an hour and a half. No big surprises other than the other Bella twin showed up.

Two other matches: AJ Styles vs. Gunther. This was a win or retire match. Guess what happened? AJ was put into a sleeper hold, and with a questionable end, Gunther won. That’s three careers that he’s retired now. They’ve actually trademarked “career killer”.

The next match was Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn. Yawn fest. Sami has never won the big belt. Gee, I wonder why. In my opinion, he’s not a main-eventer. Bro looks homeless. Drew retains.

On to the men’s rumble. Good match, again, no real surprises. El Grande Americano comes out, a couple of wrestlers from Triple AAA. The “original” El Grande Americano comes out and dumps the other El Grande Americano over the top ropes.

JOE HENDRY DOESN’T COME OUT.

He’s not in the rumble.

Doesn’t matter. It was a good pay-per-view. The stadium has questionable lights that made the stadium look almost completely empty. So that was a choice.

Today, since I did the laundry yesterday, is one less thing that I have to do this morning. I still have other chores to take care of. I don’t know if we’ll be going over to my parents. My parents probably spent most of the at the hospital in SlightlyBiggerTown. So that’s kind of up in the air. I told them yesterday that if they’re too tired to make a big dinner, I’ll just come over, bring the wood pellets in, and clean the stove. They don’t need to expend the energy to entertain us and feed us. They just need to rest.

We’ll figure it out. Happy Sunday y’all!

‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

Here I am. Woke. Up by Podrick lumbering over me multiple times. I swear I’m gonna have bruises all over my legs and hip. He is a heavy little bastard.

We didn’t do a whole lot of too much yesterday. We headed out to SlightlyBiggerTown town right after I procured some more fuel. The drive there was nice. Not a lot of traffic, but there never is. We went to all the shops that we wanted to, and we grabbed some extra joints to set us up for Crystal’s Birthday that’s coming up in a couple of weeks.

After we returned, we put the groceries away, and ate our Subway sandwiches. We watched on the news about the ICE agent shooting an American citizen in Minnesota. Shits going down, and I don’t think it’s good.

After a bit, I turned on Red Dead Redemption, and played for a couple of hours. I passed the controller to The Beautiful One so she could play Saints Row 3, while I made the cats dinner. Around 6:30 dinner was made and we sat down to watch Saturday Nights Main Event.

Of course Sami won.

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.
