Times get harder give me a fire starter, drench myself up in holy water

We’re up again. It’s a new day. Podrick likes to use the bed as a jungle gym, and bound overtop of me, and probably Crystal as well, but I can only talk about me. After 4 or 5 times of him bounding and climbing over me, I mumbled, asking what time it is. When told, I rolled out of bed, and fumbled in the dark to get dressed.

The kitties are up as well. They been fed. Podrick’s gone back to his bowl 4 times already. Pippin enjoys her private dining in the bedroom. I have to remember to wash Pippin’s bed when I do the laundry. Yes, I did the laundry like 4 days ago, but the week between Christmas and New Years, is a crazy animal. I believe that everyone should all just have the week off.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. I spoke of it yesterday when I got home. We worked out asses off to get the store your a good standard. Yes, I know if we just would’ve kept it to a high standard when the BossLady went on leave we wouldn’t have to work as hard. Yes. I agree. But I work with millennials, and Gen Alpha. They don’t move unless motivated. Now with a day left before the boss returns, they’re motivated.

Chores today. Not too much. Just laundry and some light cleaning. Podrick is tearing around chasing Pippin around. In a little while, they’ll have piles of clothes to block there clear running.

Laundry will start with the rising of the sun. Until then, coffee and murders.

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you

Sleep came quick last night, but I was up and down a lot. Instead of waking Crystal every time I wanted to know what time it was, I just looked at my phone. The first time I woke up it was 12:40, then 3:44, and then the alarm scared the shit out of me.

Alarm goes off.

I get up.

I turn the coffee pot on, do my bathroom stuff, and then turn on the TV. What’s this? No Dateline? Bombings? Oh shit, what a way to start the new year. Oh fuck my life, it’s Trump attacking a sovereign nation? Isn’t that an act of war?

Wait, wait, wait. He kidnapped the president of the country, and his wife?

This isn’t gonna be good.

I do my morning stuff, and when it’s time, I kiss The Beautiful One good bye, and minutes later, I’m at work. We cleaned for about 5 hours in preparation for the BossLady to come back to work on Monday. We now leave the rest of the cleaning list to the second shift crew tonight, and the same crew for tomorrow.

I’m tired, and my back hurts. But the shift went quickly. That’s a good thing.

Fish and chips for dinner.

House chores tomorrow. I still have half an episode of SmackDown! to watch.

Get your booty on the floor tonight

Morning everyone.

Podrick was being Podrick this morning, and going where he’s not supposed to be going. I’m not even mad anymore. It’s simply a way of life now.

So we’re up, and everything is picked up. I’ll pack away the clock once I start getting the laundry ready. It’ll go in the closet next to the box of Warhammer figures.

Work was surprisingly light yesterday. There was never a point during the day that we were overwhelmed. We got a lot of product onto the floor, we did some cleaning, and took care of the customers as they came in. It was possibly the easiest Sunday that I’ve worked in a very long time.

Still no tracking update on the Christmas package. It’s supposed to be delivered today, but who knows. Hopefully, it’ll get delivered so I can give Crystal her presents.

Laundry day today. Work tomorrow. Let’s just concentrate on today.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie’s a hand o’ thine!

Good morning, my friends! Happy Boxing Day everyone. The Beautiful One (with an assist by Podrick), let me sleep in until 8:10. Thank you very much. Podrick is currently stalking Pippin.

I have to check if SlightlyBiggerTown will be open today. I’d rather do the grocery shopping, and all that fun stuff today, rather than do it after work tomorrow. So after I post I’ll go and make sure everything will be open.

It was a really good day yesterday. We went to the nursing home to have Christmas lunch with gramma. She was doing very well yesterday. It was overwhelming. You could tell she wasn’t used to so many people in the home. But exchanged presents with her, and did a video call to my aunt and cousin. Another resident came in and sat with us, and followed us to where we were going to have lunch. The residents daughter found her, and took her back to their little celebration area. We gave hugs and kisses to gramma, and we went home for a couple of hours.

A couple of hours later, we headed over to Shady Acres, to exchange gifts with my parents. The bulk of the gifts will arrive on Monday, so I’ll head up there again, after their other presents are wrapped. But more importantly, Crystal’s presents are in there, so those will get wrapped first! The kitties presents are in that package as well. They’ve been very good, so they’ll get them, sans wrapping paper.

I opened up a present from my parents, and I got a beautiful pair of moccasins. New slippers! And they’re so warm! Crystal got a pair of mukluks, and we both got an air fryer, which I’m sure we’ll use a lot!

Back to work tomorrow. Working the weekend. That’s the way the cards are played; easy week, and slowly get used to working the full week again. It shouldn’t be too bad.

But let’s get some more coffee before anything actually happens. Happy Boxing Day everyone!

It’s dark out.

Up to about 15 minutes ago, it was dark in here as well. But Podrick started to get the itch. The itch to climb all over me. I could tell that was resisting for most of the morning. He went across me twice I believe. His paws hurt. He has no powers of silence or quietly walking around.

But it was around the normal time to get up, so I got out of the almost too warm cocoon of the bed. It was starting to get very warm. Sleep daddy was no longer talk to me, and just playing the background music. So I figured it was time to get up.

So yeah. That was this morning. We didn’t do too much yesterday. I shovelled the side walk, and hit up the tiny grocery store for some bacon for brunch this morning. I stopped at the post office, and picked up my parent’s Christmas present. I’m just waiting for the main package.

They have 1 day to get this shipped to me. The 2 packages have been late. But I guess that’s what happens when it takes the company like 9 days to actually start the picking process. Now that I’ve thought about this for a minute, I’ve already gotten a sorry for the delay $5. This package has everything in it. Crystal’s gifts, secondary gifts for my parents. The wrapping paper for everything.

I have a feeling that it’ll be late. I ordered with lots of time. But we’ll see. Technically, there’s still three days that it can arrive. Hopefully, it makes it here in time.

Time for more coffee. It’s Sunday my dudes.
