Morning. It’s been a long morning so far. I’ve been up, on and off, since about 3:40. First it was just to get up and pee, then I had a slight stomachache, then I was just trying to get comfortable. Suddenly, I hear something falling and spilling. I fly out of bed. I think it’s around 5ish at this point. I can’t find anything, and suspiciously, the cats are no where to be found. I thinking Chaucer was asleep on the bed, and when Pippin jumped down off the shelf in the bathroom, the allergy pills took a tumble. I think I got most of them.

I climbed back in bed, got comfortable. That’s when the nightmares started. I remember them, mostly. I couldn’t recognize where we were, but we were there, with other people that I didn’t know. And in that crowd that’s when I found out Crystal was leaving. And had already divided all the stuff, and was leaving.

Good times.

Luckily, that’s not the case and when I woke up, she was still next to me, sleeping. And all the kittens were snuggled up on the bed, which also explains why I could pull the blanket up this morning. I couldn’t figure it out at the time.

So yeah, we’re awake. We have coffee, and the kittens have been fed. Chaucer is snuggled up in between us, and Pippin is looking out the back door. Chores will be started in a little while. I don’t know if we’ll be picking apples this afternoon, but I do know I’ll be taking up my position at the bbq to this afternoon and cooking steaks.

I think I need more coffee.

We’re up. It’s early. I’ve been up on and off since about 5:30. I’m sure that Crystal had been up for an hour or so before that. So yeah. It’s early. We’re awake. That’s not a good thing. Either way, it is what it is.

So yeah, not the best way to start a Sunday. But we have to work with what we have, so here we are. Welcome to Sunday! It’s a gray and cool day so far here north of the wall. It’s chore day here. So we have that to do a little later on.

We had movie night here last night. Renfield popped up on Amazon Prime a couple of days ago, so I suggested movie night. Lemme tell you, it was a pretty good movie. Lots of laughs and totally fake gore. Just the movie that we needed.

Nothing too much going on here today. It’s chore day, and dinner at Shady Acres this afternoon. Nothing too major. I’ll probably start chores in an hour or so. I haven’t decided yet.

But before everything, coffee. Happy Sunday y’all!

Hey hey, we’re awake. We were out way past our bed time last night. After the parade, I finished up the day, and we hopped in the Hot Mess Express, and headed to The Valley. The party was in fully swing when we got there. We quickly got our bearings, and grabbed something to eat – Crystal got a very tasty grilled cheese hotdog, and I grabbed some pulled pork tacos. Needing some fries, I got some and sat down to consume.

After the food, we wondered around and found the petting zoo. We petted all the animals. Crystal was able to pet a duck, which she said wasn’t too happy about being touched. We went home after that, because all the activities are pretty much for young kids.

Once the sun went down, we went back for the concert. The band was really good playing a mix of country and western. With just a little bit of rock thrown in. The fireworks were really great. They were launching them right over our heads.

Long story, short (too late). We got home after midnight sometime. We stumbled through our nightly routines, and climbed into bed. I forgot to shut off the alarm, so here we are. Mostly awake, and drinking coffee.

Pretty easy day here today – just chores, and dinner over at Shady Acres. It’s pretty much slothy time for the morning and afternoon. Happy Sunday, my friends!
