All I really gotta do is live and die

Morning everyone. Yeah, we’re up a little early. Well, I’m up a little early. I’m pretty sure Podrick has be poking Crystal for at least 3 hours this morning. That’s like poking a bear. I feel wicked bad for The Beautiful One. It sucks really a lot when you can’t sleep, and then add the flying tomato into the mix. He was fixated with something he thought was buried somewhere on her nightstand.

I was tired of using one hand to stretch my face so I could partially breathe through my nose, the sleep daddy sounded too loud, and for something that was supposed to be relaxing, sounded like demands this morning. Add that to being too warm, then slightly too cold. It wasn’t a good mix to falling and staying asleep. Besides, I had a 20lbs cat 4WD-ing across my legs. Back and forth, back and forth.

Anyways, I think it’s gonna be a pretty good day today. I believe it supposed to be mostly cold, and slightly windy today. That’s ok. I have a really good parka. And, Crystal got me this awesome Dickie for Christmas. So I’ll be wearing that today. And my Skims. Can’t forget the Skims.

Work all day today. It’ll be a busy day I think I’m pretty sure we have a hockey game some time tonight. I’ll start after we’re closed, but there will be people coming in to get snacks for that. I have to remember to eat today. I’ll have breakfast before I leave for work. But I have to have lunch there. And I also have to remember to bring a pizza home for dinner tonight.

Hopefully, Crystal will be able to relax and possibly nap this afternoon. She’s been the one dealing with Podrick the most. She has way more patience than I ever had. But everyone has limits. It’s a long way away, but she can look forward to going to the thrift store on Tuesday.

Let’s get the day started.

With coffee. Lots of coffee.

You keep trying to love the devil out of me

Hey. It’s afternoon. I had a terrible sleep last night. Terrible. Up early around 3 am with stomach cramps. After a trip to the bathroom, I lightly dozed until 4, when I had to use the bathroom again. The alarm scared me less than an hour later.

Good times.

Got up and stared at the TV for 30 or so minutes, drinking coffee. Then it was time to head to work. Did the environmental stuff, then the opening stuff. We opened three minutes early because a guy can’t read time properly.

The shift was dead. But it started to pick up just before we left. I headed over to Shady Acres to haul in wood pellets, and clean the stove. My father misunderstood my mom when she said shut the stove off, Shawshank will be over after work to clean it, and bring in the pellets. He thought I was just bringing in the pellets.

Now, I get to go over on a day off to clean it. Yay.

Back to work tomorrow for a full day shift. I haven’t eaten lunch but I don’t really care. I’m not hungry. I haven’t really been hungry in weeks. I eat. But when I work, the last thing I want to do is eat.

I’m tired.

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world

So Podrick has been a Podrick this morning.

He’s been annoying The Beautiful One this morning. He’s been digging in her night stand this morning. He’d dig, and she’d pull him out and then he’d walk over us to get to my night table. He’d sit there for like 5.23 seconds, and then he’d be right over digging in Crystal’s night stand. Over and over.

Finally, she drags him out of the bedroom, and quietly closed the door. I managed to doze for another 15 or so minutes, before getting dressed, and leaving the bedroom.

So yeah, Crystal has had a rocky morning. I feel bed for her. And Podrick? Completely oblivious to the carnage that he creates. but he’s been fed, and loved.

He’s just annoying. Especially, in the morning. I think he’s lonely, and his internal clock is nonexistent.

But, it’s gonna be a good day. For both of us. I have work this afternoon. It should hopefully be somewhat bright. I dunno, the sun hasn’t come up yet. I do know, that it’ll be windy, and probably cold. But I’ll layer up, and it’ll be just fine. I’m working all weekend. My weekend will be Monday, and Tuesday. I think.

you said you’d save a dime a day and build a log cabin

Good morning party people! Of course it’s dark here this morning and I slept in until 7. Then Podrick was being a dink over on Crystal’s side of the bed. So we got up. I turned on lights, the TV, and the coffee pot.

Here we are now. Just awake while most of the town sleeps. But let me tell you this: thank god for autocorrect this morning, my thumbs apparently have no idea what they’re doing this morning. Thankfully, this morning is starting off a lot nicer than yesterday.

The doctor’s office trip yesterday wasn’t so bad. My doctor ordered some blood to be drawn. I get there and the building is completely empty. I can hear some people talking. I stand at the counter for like a couple of minutes then I go and sit down. At 9:30 I’m standing at the counter. Still no one. So I somewhat loudly, so my voice can carry, “hello?”. That’s when the nurse comes out, sounding kinda annoyed and said I have a patient, you gotta wait. I replied with no problem, I just wanted someone to know that I was here. Blood was taken. EKG was administered, and a urine sample was taken as well.

The rest of the day was relaxing, which was nice, as I’m working the next 4 days. But first, coffee. It’s Thursday, y’all.

And can’t you see that breeze

So this is what it feels like to be dead. I have to get blood drawn this morning. So I can’t have any coffee until after 9:15. I do get to have cool, crisp, water. So I’ll make coffee when I get back. And something to eat as well. I couldn’t eat after 9:15 last night.

It’s been very warm the last couple of days. I think we have two more days at Ty freezing point, and then we’re back in the deep freeze. Things have been melting here. It truly doesn’t feel like January. It feels more like March. So we’re in for a rude awakening.

I still have to watch last night NXT. I got home and we just watched funny TikTok’s and YouTube shorts. it was a nice relaxing night after a pretty easy evening at work. I have no idea what happened on last night show, and that’s the great thing about it – I don’t think they do as well!

I don’t know if I have anything else to report. It’s Wednesday, it’s dark, that’s life north of the wall.
