Heartbreaker, soul shaker I’ve been told about you

And the lord said, let there be sound… and the talk radio turned on, and the people awoke. We’re awake here at the Flat. The sun is starting to shine. The cats are in their own spaces. Pippin is at the back door, watching her queendom, and Chaucer is on the pirate chest, 1000 yard staring. He’s like me, he needs a couple minutes to wake up. Shortly after he wakes up, he’ll find a nice spot to take a nap.

Yesterday was a blast. I think we hit almost every garage sale in town. Crystal won the TinyTown lottery, and got a few nice sheets, and I think two table cloths to make into cool pants. We also got a baking dish. Ooh! And a great little sewing basket for Crystal to put in all her bits and bobs into. She was also lucky enough to find a pair of Vibrams Five Fingers running shoes – IN HER SIZE!

I didn’t find anything that I just had to have. That’s ok, I wasn’t looking for myself. I was on the lookout for fabric for Crystal. I did find a soft cover New Moon. I had to walk to the car, and check my notes. I did it need the softcover, I need a hardcover. So I left it. I think if I’m going to get another set – it’ll be the white set.

We did find a cookbook that Crystal will probably send down to her mom. It’s a collection of recipes from homemakers clubs in Saskatchewan for the provinces golden jubilee. There’s some scary-ass recipes in there. I called out a couple, and Crystal came over and took a picture, and sent it to her mom. It’s from 1955, and was made to look like a group of women hand wrote it. I think Crystal said lithograph. But I could be wrong.

There’s always room for jello

Mimeograph. That’s what she said.

Well, it’s chore day here. I’ll be starting that in a little while. Just the normal stuff. It shouldn’t take too long to complete. Just a little time consuming. But it’s easy – put stuff in to the washer. Washer, washes, dryer dries. Good times, amirite?

Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

Good Sunday morning everyone! We’re face deep in the weekend now. It’s bright and sunny, and will probably be a nice day out. Today, I’ll be mowing the lawn over at Shady Acres this afternoon. My dad asked me in his way for me to do it – “you better take your allergy pills this weekend…”

So after doing all the chores here, I’ll be hopping on the ride on lawnmower, and spending an hour or so mowing their backyard. Lucky for me, there back yard is mostly covered in shade so it won’t be that hot back there.

But before all that, it’s chore day here. First up on deck is laundry. I’ll be doing the bedsheets as well this morning, so in a little bit, I’ll be stripping the bed. But I’ll need to have some coffee. But it should be a pretty good day.

Yesterday was pretty dead at work, but that’s to be expected. There was something much more important going on in town – Graduation Day for the high school seniors. I had a few people come in and look around. Only a few bucks in sales. But sales none the less. I got out of there pretty quickly right at two.

So come dance the silence down through the morning

Good Sunday morning my friends. The sun is chirping, and the birds are shining. It looks like it’s gonna be a nice day out there. I do believe it’s going to be a little warmer out there. The temps are starting to rise again. Not a cloud in the sky. Chaucer is on the table looking out the back door, and Pippin is loving life, looking out the front window.

Yesterday at work, it was just busy enough to pass the time a little quicker than normal. But there was a baseball tournament going on, so there wasn’t much foot traffic into the store, but it was still a good day.

After work, I grabbed a couple of items for dinner at the grocery store, and wandered home. I watched Crystal play TotK for a little while, and then it was my turn. I played until it was time to start cooking.

I made a feast for us – French fries, and bacon cheeseburgers. We’ll for Crystal m, it was a mushroom bacon cheeseburger. I surprised her with a can of mushrooms. She cooked those up as I was cooking the bacon.

Long story, short: it was a very good feast, and we walked away from the dinner very full. There were a few more hours of TotK, and then some tv. By the time it was just about 11, and Crystal was falling asleep, so that’s what we did.

As per usual, there’s not too much planned today. It’s Sunday, so there’s chores to do, and then this afternoon we’ll be heading over to Shady Acres for dinner. Mom asked if I could help with the lawn. I just said sure, and to have my dad make sure the lawn mower would start, and I’d have no problem mowing the lawn.

We’ll see if it starts.

But before all that, I need some go-go juice. Time to fill up my cup again! Happy Sunday!

They’re magically delicious

Good warm morning everyone. It’s gonna be a hot one today, and for the the next couple of days. It was also a warm one whilst we slept last night. I know I was a warm little camper last night. We slept above the weighted blanket, but under another one. As I was falling asleep, my mind was saying “climb up, sleep on top of all the blankets.”

I didn’t sleep on top all the blankets, but I might tonight – depending on the temperature of the house. Pippin is upset that I didn’t open the back door this morning. Have you ever tried to reason with a kitten?

Spoiler alert: you really can’t.

It’s like a sauna in here…

This weather isn’t supposed to even be here yet. This is August weather. But that’s ok, I think ol Mother Nature is trying to make sure that Crystal is comfortable for her first summer here. Why not bring the Florida weather for her?

We did a whole bunch of nothing yesterday. We did head out to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. Crystal needed makeup sponges – we went to the dollar store to price them out. I believe that Crystal will be ordering them online.

From there I quickly ran into the grocery store. I needed cereal and coffee. I had just enough at the Flat to make it until this morning. So I grabbed some. From there to the weed store. I bought some “summer glass”. A small unassuming bong that’s actually taller than my coffee pot. It’s a big boy for sure.

We got home, and I unboxed it. – shit that could’ve been a great TikTok for Crystal. She could’ve unboxed it. And filmed it. Shitballs. Anyways, since it’s our summer glass, it will be used when we’re out on the lanai – provided we get some citronella candles or something out there to take care of the buggies.

We took a couple rips shortly after we got home. Crystal settled into a crafty project, and me, armed with some weed in my system went to work on randomly wandering around killing bobokins as I found them in TotK.

Today is chore day. Yay chores.

But before all that – let’s get some coffee in us. Happy Sunday everyone! Stay frosty out there.

Daring duck of mystery, Champion of right

Awake! The alarm went off, and I unstuck my face from the pillow. I was a drooler last night. Crystal was a little warm but I think I was fine. Maybe a little warm, but not enough to really do anything to my sleep. Pippin was snuggled at my feet this morning.

All the curtains are open, it looks like it rained a little bit last night, but currently it’s sunny and just a slight breeze. According to the weather app, there’s a 30% chance that it might thunderstorm around 12 or 1. We’ll see. The last week or so, it’s been told that it was going to rain, however it mostly drizzled and then fizzled out. It’s gone back and forth between sunny and then gray. Hopefully the sun will come out and stay.

We did a whole bunch of nothing apart from running to SlightlyBiggerTown for groceries. We grabbed what we needed/wanted, and only forgot about a couple of things. After groceries, we stopped at Subway to grab lunch. We got everything put away, and lunch consumed – we turned on TotK. We took turns playing, and having fun. Crystal helped me through a quest in the Depths, and when it was Crystal’s turn, I gave amazing advice that caused her feather not once, but twice.

So I tried to not help after that!

Not too much on deck for today. It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s chore day, and dinner at Shady Acres. It’s a nice day where not a lot happens but things still get accomplished. I’ll start everything after another cup of coffee.

Sounds like fun? Maybe not a lot of fun, but shit needs to get done, and not all hero’s wear capes, so let’s just git er dun, amirite?

Yeah, let’s get it done, but before that – let’s have some more coffee. There’s prep work to do. I don’t want to start the prep work right now. Maybe in a little bit. But right now, it’s couch time with my beautiful genie pants wearing girl.

Happy Sunday! Praise Jeebus!
