Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Hellloooo! Hap hap happy Sunday y’all!

It’s kind of grey and a little windy out there today. It’s all good, we’ll wear a sweatshirt or something when we go out this morning. It’s supposed to be mostly overcast today. But it’ll still be a pretty good day.

On the way out of town, I’ll grab some cash in case we find something that we like at the farmers market. It’ll be a good time for sure, even if we don’t find anything.

Since we’re going out this morning, and this afternoon is going to be spent at Shady Acres, when I got home I started chores yesterday. The laundry is done for the week, and the other chores shouldn’t take that long to complete. I should be able to get them done as Crystal is doing her make up.

At one point I got up in the early morning hours to go to the bathroom, and both kittens were snuggled up on the bed with us. Chaucer with Crystal, and pippin near me. It’s nice to have all of us snuggled up.

Now the major decision: shorts or pants.

And that’s the rest of the story!

And I feel the way that every child should sit and listen, sit and listen

Good morning everyone. Unlike the last two days, it’s bright, warm, and sunny outside. It looks like it’s gonna be a really nice day out there. I might even wear some shorts today. I dunno, we’ll see! The day is full of possibilities.

Of course one of the possibilities will be chores that need to be done. I’ll start that a little later. Right now, it’s Dateline, and coffee time this morning. And let me tell you, the coffee tastes pretty good this morning. I’m pretty good at the whole mixology of coffee grounds to water.

Yesterday was a pretty fun day, we traded back and forth playing the game. Later on in the afternoon, I suggested we drive into another SlightlyBiggerTown to check out an actually open second hand store, and as a bonus there’s a craft store that we looked around in. Crystal really liked the old patterns, but declined to pick one up. It’s all good, she found some awesome fabric/twin size sheets for more hippie pants.

The Avengers pants are going to look awesome!

I’m very happy that the sun is shining.

Coffee cup salute everyone, happy Mother’s Day!

Good Sunday morning everyone. We’re in the thick of the weekend now. It’s a little gray out there with a slight breeze. But it’s not snowing, so there’s that.

We were up wicked early yesterday to watch the Kings coronation, so around 10:30 last night we went to bed. Once I was comfortable, I was out. I crashed like Paul Walker*

Work yesterday was ok. There were a few people that popped in just “to snoop around”. I figured it out yesterday – there’s not a lot to do in these small towns, so in an effort to get out and to do something, people will drive from small town to small town to see what’s there. I totally believe that bored people would actually go to car dealerships you know, for fun.

After work, I picked up Crystal and we took off to the closest car dealership greenhouse. It’s not too far, pretty close to the only gas station on the outskirts of town. We wandered around looking at all the pretty plants.

We ended up getting some Brussels sprouts, morning glory, heartbreaker, and midnight sky. I can’t wait to see what they look like when they’re all flowering and looking good. And most importantly, we’ll hopefully have some yummy sprouts in a month or two. Bonus!

Today is chore day, I’ll be starting that in an hour or so. I need coffee first to power Big Chore. I contacted my landlady yesterday, and told her about the screen door. She gave me the contact info for the handyman, I copied and pasted the same text message to him, and he stopped by and took a look. He should be stopping by tomorrow to see if he can fix it. Thankfully, we’re not the only people that have a bum screen door.

Alright, I’ve typed too much! It’s like a book up in here! Happy Sunday y’all! Have some coffee!

*too soon?

And they knew they’d better get right to work so they revved up the Ectomobile

Good morning everyone! Happy Sunday everyone! It’s bright and sunny out there, and looks like it’s going to be a nice and sunny day out there. The birds are singing, and Pippin is at the back door, sniffing the morning air.

Again, I passed out last night. Out like a light. I don’t think I moved too much either. But it was a pretty good sleep.

Yesterday was a pretty good lazy day. I played around in BotW. I actually found a couple of shrines! I haven’t heard the shrine alert in a long time, so when I stumbled across one, I was very surprised. But I found, and completed them.

While I played, Crystal worked on her amazing technic colour jacket. It’s coming together pretty well. I think it looks pretty good. I’m sure Crystal will post some photos on how it’s coming together.

Today is chore day. We’re on our own for dinner tonight. My mom texted yesterday afternoon asking to cancel the dinner tonight. Over the last week, she’s pretty much driven most of the bottom half of the province. She’s exhausted. We said no problem, and feel better. She felt really bad that she couldn’t host us tonight.

But before all these chores that need to be done, it’s coffee time. Maybe I’ll even put some shorts on today. We’ll see. Happy Sunday funday y’all. Let’s get the day started.

Well, maybe in a few minutes. Pass the coffee!

Awake, I think. Again, out like a light. I crash hard at night. I don’t mean too. I wanted to stay up a little later, as it was Saturday. Sadly, I was starting to fall asleep at like 10:45. So much for staying up later than normal. I couldn’t even make it until 11. It’s terrible.

We had a classy ass dinner last night. Kraft Dinner, coconut shramp, chicken balls, and for Crystal, Brussels sprouts. Lemme tell you, it was really good. I really enjoyed it.

I forgot to check to see if any new movies were on movie box last night. Logically, no new movies have probably been uploaded, but I should’ve remembered to check though.

Today, well you know the drill. It’s chore day here. I’ll start it later. I’d like to fully wake up and not have to physically force my eyes to stay focused.

Chaucer just crawled up on my lap. He’s been pretty good lately. He hasn’t really thrown up since I stopped giving him milk. He did throw up this morning, but it’s back to what it was – good he ate too fast, as opposed to just green stomach acid and stuff like that. He doesn’t like not getting milk, but I’m sure he feels a lot better. The last couple of nights he hasn’t even come to beg for milk as we’re getting out night cereal.

Ok, I need more coffee. Hopefully it won’t snow today! We don’t want anymore snow! When we went to SlightlyBiggerTown yesterday, the hardware store had all their summer out in front of the store.
