Um… mixed boneless pickles? You got me!

The road trip was a success yesterday. We went to value village, Home Depot, Michaels, and of course Walmart. I got a couple of items, nothing much, and then we turned the truck back to TinyTown.

I had a huge lunch, and didn’t make dinner until shortly after 7 I believe. I just relaxed on the couch and chatted with Crystal. After our video chat, I bushed my teeth and climbed into bed.

I passed out.

I passed out, and the alarm this morning startled me.

Nothing much planned today. Just the usual chores to do. I’ll be stripping the bed shortly to wash the sheets. Maybe I’ll put on the sheets that my mom got me last year. They aren’t fleece, just regular ones. We’ll see. I haven’t decided yet.

But for right now, just some coffee and news. Happy Sunday everyone.

Excuse me can I have the attention of the class for one second

Can you believe that!? It’s bullshit. BULLSHIT I SAY! Yeah, I’m being mostly silly – they changed all the covers on the Twilight books. Geezy-creezy. I’m still trying to complete the sets I have. But, I was good. I didn’t buy any of them.

The trip to Walmart was good. I spent my commission check on shit that I needed, including a new belt, because I simply destroy them over the course of a year or so. So, $18 a year for a new belt is a pretty good investment.

I didn’t make it back to TinyTown until 7ish. Beat from working, and the three hour (both ways) to Walmart just drained me. But I have a pantry full of some good stuff. And I’m proud of myself, a part from one or two good items, I didn’t get anything crazy – I did stock up on body washes and toothpaste. I didn’t go off the shopping list.

Yay for adulting, I guess!

Just relaxing in the couch with some coffee now. I should get up and start the chores. I’ll start them soon.

Happy Sunday, my friends. Good luck on the phone interview this afternoon. You got this!

So close, no matter how far couldn’t be much more from the heart

Good morning everyone! It’s chore day! Who else is excited about that?! The coffee has brewed, and the sun is rising out my kitchen window, in a beautiful display of light.

When I noticed that, I ran out and grabbed a couple of pictures for Crystal, which I just sent to here. It’s gorgeous out there. And not too cold either.

So today has started out wonderfully with that beautiful sunrise, and this good cup of coffee.

Let’s get the day started!

See people rocking, hear people chanting feeling hot, hot, hot

I think the snow is done for a while. I can’t find any actual measurements, because we’re so small, but I’d guess probably 15ish centimetres over the last 2 days. I dunno, I’m still getting used to the metric system. I do know I don’t like the spread out over so many days. Damn just dump two feet in 24 hours, and call it a day!

It’s a grey day here. Bright but grey. There’s not too much wind, and I think the snow is just falling ever so slowly. Like so slowly that it’s not even piping up to say it’s actually snowing. I got up this morning and shovelled the side walk. I’m not gonna miss that in a couple of months.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. I was given a task the day before, and I worked on that for the few hours I was at work. Before leaving work on Friday, BossLady said she might be in town Saturday morning, because she was going to celebrate some friends birthdays. At the time she said that. The weather app said it was going to start snowing around 7.

Thankfully, it didn’t start snowing until later, and she didn’t show up at work. I just wanted a day to breathe, and thankfully I got that, and could move stuff around, on my own time and let ideas pop in and to try different things.

I did that. I think it turned out pretty good. The last co-worker I had hated whatever I did, so that trained me not to do anything out on the showroom floor. Like I told BossLady, I really tried to make sure everything either matched or complemented everything else. I’m proud of what I did. I think I did pretty good.

Ok I’ve written a novel here, time to refill the coffee, and prep the chores. Happy Sunday, all you great people!

When we’re together and even when we’re apart

Good morning everyone. Chore day is in effect here. Laundry is in the machine, and the ingredients for brunch are defrosting in the sink.

I slept like the dead last night, only waking briefly a couple of minutes before my alarm went off.

Not a lot of laundry today. I’ve been wicked lazy and not really caring what I’m wearing. I came to the realization this morning that I’ve been a disgusting little hamster.

That’s gonna change.

Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll be heading into SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries. I know, I know, I believe it’s only been a week since I was there, but I didn’t get a lot because I didn’t have a lot. I should be able to get a little more.

Ok let’s do some freakin cleaning.
