I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

I slept twice last night. We get into bed, and do our bed things. I give The Beautiful One kisses, and we slowly start getting ready to go to sleep.

I’m out.

About a half hour later, Podrick did something, and woke me up. I repositioned, and pulled my mask down. I didn’t even have the mask or the YouTube going. So I got that going, and got the volume set correctly. I don’t remember putting the phone in my dresser drawer, and I was out again.

I remember the guy saying to concentrate on the dome of my head, and how there’s a light warming it. That’s all I remember before falling asleep.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. At one point I come back in from outside and said, “co-worker, it’s snowing outside, and it’s 1:30. Do you know what that means?”

Blank look in my direction.

“That means for the next five and a half hours, we listen to” … (pause for dramatic effect) …

“Christmas music!”

I’m pretty sure he humoured me.

Lazy yellow moon comin’ up tonight

The wee devil let us (me) sleep in. He didn’t knock over a lot of things. The picture of me and Prince Philip, a cat toy, one Nintendo switch controller. Oh, and a banana clip. Around 6:30 (I think), I got up and used the facilities. Then locked and barred the bedroom door. I lost one mask in the night, but managed to get back to sleep.

We didn’t do anything of any note yesterday. It was amazing. The farthest I went from The Flat, was to shovel the trail from the door to the road, to get cat litter out of the truck. I did laundry all day. And finished it up shortly before dinner.

Dinner was really good: souvlaki burgers, and tots. I saved some bacon from brunch earlier in the morning. And added it to the burgers. I also put a dollop of scotch bonnet pepper sauce on them. Total yum.

We watches Survivor Series: WARGAMES! I was mostly sports entertained. The main event wasn’t all that great. And the big surprise was totally meh, because of course there was no pay off before it went off the air. I’ll give it 3 out of 5.

Today, will be a little busier. After I hit publish, I’ll text mom and give her my plan. We’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown town for groceries, and other supplies. Then I’ll pop over and clean the pellet stove. The town should be without power from 12-5 today, so that should take care of most of the time. I have to turn the heat up so we stay warm.

More coffee pls.

Wake up (wake up) grab a brush and put a little make-up

Good morning. Podrick was trying his best to get us to wake up and play with him. The Beautiful One was up at 3 to pick up shit that he was playing with in the bathroom. Then again at 6:50 is when I rolled out of bed. I’m sure he knocked the same shit down.

We’re up now.

It’s still dark out.

But with the town-wide power outage, we’ll be doing our shopping tomorrow. So today, we’ll be doing the stuff that I would usually do on Sundays. So today is chore day. But I’ll start that once it’s day light out.

Work was mostly pretty quiet last night. A lot better than the night before. You see, there was a hockey game last night that started about 45 minutes before we closed. We anticipated that we’d be busier in the hour before the game, but we were mostly wrong. Totes quiet.

It was a nice Friday night.

There’s a WWE event tonight, so later on this morning, I’ll find something in the freezer to make for dinner. I think there’s a couple of burgers in there. Whatever we have, it’ll be yummy.

But before human form; coffee.

And I’d like to be a star and shine on you

Morning. It’s Sunday, so that means it’s chore day. I’ll start in a couple of hours. It’s not a lot. So it shouldn’t take too long.

This afternoon, we’ll be heading to Shady Acres, where I’ll be hauling in about 20 bags of wood pellets. Then, I’ll be cleaning the stove again.

Pippin just crawled onto my lap for a snuggle. She’s staring at Podrick.

I need more coffee.

You my lil’ suga, I’m yo’ little chulo

Podrick’s being Podrick this morning. And my neck is locked up. It seems like every winter this happens. It’ll be a few days to a week before I can turn my neck all the way on both sides.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It wasn’t too busy, nor too slow. It gave me a chance to do a lot of cleaning in between customers. Finally after about an hour and a half, I called it. No more cleaning. Bing Bing and I grooved out to iHeartthe90s. It was a long day. Sundays usually are, and both of us were drained when we finally left.

Today, we’ll be travelling to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies, and just to get the heck out of TinyTown for a couple of hours. It’s dark right now, but hopefully it’ll be a nice day for a drive later on this morning.
