But there’s only so far I can go when you’re living in a hallway that keeps growing

I’m groggy this morning. It was a good sleep, I think. Just wicked sleepy, and groggy. When I finish this, I need to take an Advil. I had hoped that the headache would go away whilst I slept. But alas, earwax, it didn’t.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad of a day. I went to work, watered the plants, and prepped to load a truck so NewNewGirl could do her delivery. It ended up, that I was going to do the delivery. Whatever, it’s cool. The delivery went great. The client was very happy.

After work, I came home and made some burgers and tots for dinner. Again not to toot my own horn, but toot toot. The burgers were really good. I played some TotK, and explored the depths. After I had finished, Crystal kicked ass in Witcher 3, and she also kicked some ass.

I watched an episode of CSI, and we had our evening snack, then climbed into bed. It was a little chilly, so I turned on the bed, and we climbed deep under the covers, now here we are.

I hope today goes quickly. This week as moved rather slow. It looks like it’ll be a nice day. Not a lot of wind, and bright and sunny. Enjoy the coffee!

Yeah, we got free tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Coliseum

Good gray morning. It’s drizzling a little bit here. It’s cooler, and darker than normal – winter is coming. I completely passed out last night. I don’t think I moved at all last night. Usually when I roll over or anything like that, I wake up just a little bit. I don’t remember waking up at all in the night. I did a bit of a roll over in the morning, and woke up a little, spied the clock. Then it was just a matter of time before the alarm went off 10 minutes later.

I am so sore.

From the combination of nerves about the clients order, driving so tense because of the nerves and stress of driving the truck and trailer, I’m pretty sore today. Some would say, you’re sore from moving an eight piece sectional. No, the pieces were pretty lightish. The heavy pieces, I had help with.

The delivery went off without a hitch. It was a really good day. The clients loved the new sectional. They told me a few times that this is what they should’ve ordered in the first place. I’m just happy that I ordered the correct pieces.

After the delivery, we quickly shopped at the smallest Walmart in Canada, grabbed some lunch at McDonald’s, and made our way back to TinyTown. From there, we made dinner, and I melted into the couch. And didn’t do too much of anything for the rest of the night.

But I have coffee and I’m not afraid to drink it.

It was a good day. Let’s hope today is just as good! Happy Wednesday!

Good morning my friends. It’s a mostly sunny day there so far. I’ve looked at the weather app a few times yesterday, and it’s supposed to get cloudy again today. But it seems like a good day for a road trip. We’re heading to BiggerTown today to deliver a sectional, and to pick up an old one. Then it’s our day, mostly.

Shouldn’t be too bad. Crystal will be coming and helping me with the sectional. And I’ll have someone to talk to as we drive. That’s always nice.

Yesterday was totes relaxing. We didn’t do a whole lot of anything. I made brunch, which was really good, if I may toot my own horn*

After brunch, Crystal played Witcher 3, for a little while and advanced her storyline a lot. I ran out to the credit union and enquired about their debit/credit card. I should have it in about a week or so. I grabbed a box of shake and bake for dinner.

Before dinner, Crystal passed me the controller, so I fired up TotK. And fooled around a little. Somehow, I found my way to the sky islands, and happened to see the Light Dragon.

Hey, you wanna know the rest, buy the rights.

I’m pretty sure the alarm scared me. I did have to get up in the night, but it was a lot later than normal – I think it was either 5:30, or around 6:30. I can’t remember. All I can remember is trying to get out of bed as quietly as possible to not wake the slumbering chicky. But, she was probably awake, and wondering why I was moving in slow motion.

It looks like it’ll be mostly sunny today, and warm. High of 82° today. It’s nice outside right now. It does feel very weird that it’s dark at 9pm again. Fall is quickly coming. And you know what they say: Winter is coming. I know people don’t want to hear that, but yeah. Stupid winter.

But today should be nice. I don’t have any plans for today. Other than brunch, the day is open. Full of possibilities. Maybe we’ll go outside, possibly we’ll stay inside – who knows?

I do know I’ll be making waffles today. And other yummy stuff for brunch today. But for right now, we’re just relaxing on the couch while the kittens are on the table looking out the back door in a nice sunbeam.

Happy kitties.

Good groggy morning. It’s a bright and sunny day, and I feel like I’ve ran a marathon. I’m sore, and need to take an Advil. You see, last night, I had a two hour allergy attack, and my body is still recovering from that. But I slept the whole night, and I could breathe the whole night as well. So that’s way better than Friday night into Saturday morning.

Like I said, it’s bright and sunny out there. It seems like it’s going to be a pretty good day, however it’ll get more and more cloudy throughout the day. According to the weather app that’s mostly right, and partially wrong most of the time – it’s supposed to be partly sunny, and a chance of rain in the next 39 minutes.

Don’tcha just love technology?

My head is still filled with a thick soup. Hopefully that’ll change. I hate my allergies.

I also got the rest of the tech hooked back up. That means the Chromecast, and the DVD player. It took a little bit of time, but the Switch, Roku, Chromecast, and DVD player are all talking to themselves again. It was touch and go for a little bit, but thankfully it’s all hooked up again. With the Switch, you have to plug things in, in a certain order. Strange!

Last night, as I was preparing to figure out what to watch, Crystal said “wait. Netflix. They Cloned Tyrone.” Ok! It’s been on my list, so we turned it on. I’m not going to give anything away, but if you have Netflix, you should really take the 2 hours to watch it. It’s good, really good.

But now it’s Sunday, and you know what that means. Chore day. That should be starting a little later. I need to wake up and get some of this soup out of my head. You know what helps? Coffee. Coffee helps. You should try some.
