Girl, I don’t need no lifted truck revving loud to pick you up

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s bright and sunny outside.

A certain orange cat ate part of his favourite toy sometime in the night. It’s missing a bell.

We’re all up? And Crystal has fed the kitties. Pippin didn’t want to eat, so it’s sitting in the cupboard, and we’ll see if she wants to eat before I start to cook brunch.

I had a really good sleep this morning, which means that Crystal stole out of bed without waking me up, kicked Podrick out, and brought Pippin in to snuggle sometime this morning. the bed was the perfect temperature to snuggle. And snuggle I did.

Yesterday was a nice day, although a little chilly out. We got up and dressed and made our way over to the next town over for some grocery shopping, and to hit a couple of other stores. We got into town, and hit up the grocery store first. I actually planned ahead this time- I was wearing a hoodie, because it seems like the new grocery store is always so very cold in it.

We finished up the groceries, I packed them in the truck, and we walked to the dollar store. I don’t think we got anything there. Then it was over to the general store, and then to the pharmacy. After the pharmacy, we hit up the pharmacy for a couple of carts. Then on our final stop, I bought Subway for lunch, and then we were back in the highway pointed in the general direction of our tiny little town.

After quickly running out to grab a frozen pizza for dinner, because we forgot to plan ahead (in our defence we looled at the sushi, and it just wasn’t great last week, so we walked past it. And completely forgot to pick something up. After dinner, I put on a movie: K-Pop Demon Hunters. It was pretty good. The songs were catchy, and it had a pretty good story. I considered myself entertained.

Da da da da dada da daaaa I’m lovin’ it!

It’s a little earlier than normal. My head is pound pound pounding, and I think Podrick went to sleep. We’re up? And the kitties are fed. Well, Pippin is, Podrick will keep going back to his bowl every couple of minutes until the gross dry kibble is all eaten. He’s back eating. I first woke up sometime this morning, to a kitten under the covers. I don’t know which one it was, because both kittens like to go under the covers. I’m guessing it was Pod. I didn’t pet or anything, if it was Pod, I didn’t want to excite him.

Today will be a busy one. Chores, which I’ll start in a few, brunch. Because, I want brunch, and it’s yummy. Then we’re off to Shady Acres, to be personable and normal, because some family came to visit. I’ll do my best to be talkative, but I can’t promise anything. My cousin is here, probably with his kids, and his new girlfriend. My mom’s been freaking out because she’s Indian, and a vegetarian. But mom says she still eats chicken, so for a couple of days mom had asked us to find Indian vegetarian recipes. So I have no idea what kind of food we’ll be walking into today!

The sun is a bright orange this morning – still. A lot of wildfires in the northern part of the province. It’s been weird, fall like weather. For the last couple of days, it starts out nice and sunny, slowly clouds over, and then for a few minutes to about a half hour, it lightly rains or at the most drizzles. Then it starts all over again. Weird weather.

So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend

Good morning. The Beautiful One let me sleep. And sleep, and sleep. She’s a national treasure. I shall feed her a burger and possibly tots this evening as a thank you. The bed was so comfy, and warm when I was snuggled up against Crystal. it’s been a really nice weekend, but the weekend is slowly, slowly fading into the new work week.

Podrick was quickly locked out of the bedroom, and then Crystal kidnapped Pippin and brought her into the room with us, and miss Pippin got lots of snuggles for the hour that she was shut in with us. So that was nice to wake up and give Pippin some pets. She puts up with a lot when they’re both out in general population. She needs snuggle time with us.

We didn’t do a whole lot of anything this weekend, except watch a lot of wrestling. For the first time, SunmerSlam was two days. Yesterday, was day two. So, we watched it. The second nights matches were not as good as night one, in my opinion. So much so, that I was cooking while the matches were going. The first night, we paused it, last night though, we just let it run as I cooked.

I much preferred night one, over night two. The twist on night one, was better than the guy they brought out on night two. I’ve never watched the guy wrestle before, and I don’t really want to watch another semi-retired wrestler try to recapture whatever is missing from their life.

I go back to work tomorrow afternoon, so this is my last day of freedom, so to speak. What shenanigans will we get into today? Probably not too many, as today is Family Day in the province.

But first, coffee. Happy Monday y’all!

Let’s spend the night together from now until forever

After I pulled Podrick away from the blind cords, it sounded like he was throwing himself against the door like a little police officer trying to serve a warrant. He was so relentless, that the squad from Law & Order should be calling him to arrange an interview. Eventually he was let back in, and within minutes, The Beautiful One had to get up and out of the room to feed them, so I could sleep for another couple of minutes.

It was a big day here in TinyTown. It’s the annual Heritage Day. It’s a day of parades, food trucks, petting zoos, orbs, and of course, country music, and beer. We didn’t end up going. It’s gotten a little expensive with the cabaret being added onto the ticket. So we did our own thing. We watched the parade, and then managed to get some ground bison, and a block of Velveeta. for the rest of the afternoon, we were lazy. Crystal played Neir: Automata, and I tried to play Civ 7, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my phone. Civ has way too much information, and GTA is playable but difficult. I’ll probably uninstall them.

Then it was time for SummerSlam. I had a couple seconds of trouble trying to get it up and running, but a quick reboot of the Roku, and we were off to the races. We followed along with the WWE subreddit for a while, until it was time to start to cook, so I paused it, and The Beautiful One and I started to make our Nachos. I think we enjoyed the matches that they put on for night one. As we got our plates of nachos, I hit play, and we ignored the subreddit.

I thought that matches were pretty good. Some a little slower than others. Some were funnier than others. But finally it was time for the main event. CM Punk vs Gunther. It was a very slow, technical match. I enjoyed it as much as you can for a slow technical match.

SPOILER ALERT:

Living my life in and out of the twilight zone

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake. Metaphorically. Podrick, annoyed from being locked out of the bedroom, finally launched his attack. It sounded like he threw his body at the door. It was at that time, Crystal and I were ripped from slumber. Because in my dreams, The Beautiful One and I, are curled up asleep, Crystal of course is quietly snoring. Me? I’m probably curled up, and slightly drooling.

What actually happened, you ask? Well, I’m not sure but it probably was like this – Crystal, watching TikTok, or editing photos, or videos. Me? Trying to snuggle Crystal. But it’s warm, so I’ll try and shove a hand under her. Also, I’m drooling like a leaky faucet. I try and snuggle Crystal more, but like I said, it’s warm, so she envisions slowly putting a pillow over my face, you know, to stop me drooling.

Finally, a day off. It was an action packed week. First time in a while, where I had five days scheduled. But I powered through it, and ended up on the other side. I’ll be doing chores. I’m really gonna try to actually do all of them. I always skip at least one chore, because I’m a lazy bastard. But I’ll try and do them today, or tomorrow.

It’s been warm here the last four or five days, and the last couple days it’s been humid. This is Podrick’s first summer, so he’s experiencing the heat and humidity for the first time. Pippin is mostly used to it, and will hang out in the cool areas of the Flat. Poor Pod just exists – he’ll sleep on the linoleum. He’ll find a cool place to sleep.
