First things first, (I’m a realist) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Crystal. Happy birthday to you!

We were both up wicked early. The kitties were snuggling and all that, and I just couldn’t fall back asleep. We snuggled for a little bit, but then I couldn’t anymore, so I got up and start the day.

It’s Sunday, chore day. I’ll be starting it in a couple of hours, after my eyes begin to focus. Due to my poor planning, and Amazon trying it’s hardest to get one gift here on time, sadly Crystal doesn’t have anything to open this morning. There’s a chance that there will be a gift arriving tomorrow, and I think a couple by Valentine’s Day. But nothing this morning. Once again, like every year it got away from me.

But it’s time for coffee and Dateline. Happy Sunday y’all!

This is a song for the ladies, but fella’s, listen closely.

Oh, well hello there, my friends. When did you get here? The Flat is officially awake. I’ve been up since around 6:30ish, and Crystal suspects that she’s been up since around 5:30. It wasn’t my fault this time. Chaucer was snuggled up very close to her. And he’s like a tiny furry easy bake oven.

So we were up at the normal time yesterday to be ready to leave around 10 to drive out to the farm with my dad to repair the heater core, or blower. Whatever. Ha! I got a text about 9:30 saying that he was going to take his work truck out so we could follow. We pulled up to the corner just as he was getting there.

We made it out to the farm and pulled into the garage. Immediately he got to work. I was wearing an old hoodie expecting to help, but as we saw it truly was a one person job. In about 20 minutes he was done. The windshield wash was dethawed and emptied out. The Hot Mess Express has warm silent heat again!

At that point only about an hour had passed, so I asked what Crystal is most afraid about – do you want to go for a drive? I could see her internally screaming! So we drove to a new SlightlyBiggerTown. We grabbed some bread, liverwurst, and a few other things, brought it home, and….

Had the yummiest lunch that we’ve had in a couple of years.

But today is Sunday. Fun day. Chore day. I’ll be starting those in about an hour. But first I have to disturb the tiny cat that’s asleep on my lap. I need more coffee.

Washed my face, combed my hair, stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

It’s cold and dark out there.

Cold.

And dark.

Out there.

Good morning. Happy Sunday. We’re all awake here. The cats are stalking around. It’s a typical day here. I’ve moisturized, and cleaned up kitty throw up. Since it’s gotten colder out, the cats have been chowing down on their food. The last couple of mornings, both bowls have been empty. I figure the colder it gets, the more they eat.

It’s also chore day here. I’ll start those in about an hour. I like to slowly wake up on Sundays. You know, enjoy the coffee. Out of a twelve cup coffee pot we each get maybe 1.5 cups of coffee each, or around that much. I might pay for a larger 16 cup coffee pot – if they even make one.

We’ll, I couldn’t find a 16 cup coffee maker, but I did find a 14 cup maker – Braun Pure Flavor Coffee Maker, 14 cup, Black https://a.co/d/iGZ2Nul maybe I’ll put it in my wishlist. Then we could have more coffee. Because I’m sure sometimes, Crystal would want another cup after I leave for work.

I have Pippen the kitten on my lap. She snuggled me in this morning. she’s had a busy morning. I’m sure she was playing all around the flat this morning, she’s snoozing on me right now. Chaucer whose thrown up twice is kitty loafed on the cube. It’s another morning here.

Ok, time for more covfefe. Happy Sunday!

So wait for the stone on your window, your window

I slept all the way until the alarm went off this morning. We’ll, hello there, good morning everyone! I trust that you slept well. I hope that Crystal slept a little bit better than other mornings. She didn’t know what time it was, but I told her when I woke up. I think she felt better when I told her what time it was.

But she’s probably been up since around 5 or 5:30. So there’s that. But some part of me would like to think that she slept in with me.

So it’s Sunday, and that means it’s chore day. I’ll start that in a few hours, so right now it’s just wake up time. Eye focus time. Coffee time.

Last night, we fired up Netflix, and watched The Pale Blue Eye. It was pretty good. I don’t think I’d call it a “gothic horror” like Netflix describes it. It was at most “supernatural mystery”. Christian Bale again does a great job of simply disappearing in the role. I don’t think it was good enough for a full review or anything like that.

Happy Sunday y’all!

We had the best time at your party, the wife and I thank you very much

Good morning everyone. Hap hap happy Sunday! I was up very quickly around 5:30, but fell asleep again, until the alarm went off at 7. I feel like I got to sleep in.

So we’re up now, I have a kitten on my lap, and Chaucer is on his cube and is dozing. It rained a little last night, and there’s a thin film of ice over everything. The little deck is totally slippery, so we’ll have to be careful, if it doesn’t melt.

Today is chore day, I should be starting that soon. And I will, I just want some coffee first. But I’ll get in the chores shortly. I have to prep for toaster this afternoon as well.

Happy Sunday everyone! Kick back and relax today!
