Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning, everyone. I am awake. I’m awake and sore, with just a touch of a headache. I don’t think that I moved all night. I’m sore because I moved a tonne of furniture yesterday, and took in two deliveries. Today will be more of the same, just moving furniture from the back room to our outside storage.

All the moving was supposed to be yesterday, but it was wicked cold. When I was planning on moving the furniture, it was around -30🦫. The weather is a lot better. It’s only -15 right now which is a lot better to be outside. So after a couple of things to do in the morning, I’ll probably be moving stuff in the afternoon.

Damn, the coffee is good this morning.

But it’s Thursday. It’s almost the weekend. Tonight right after dinner, I have to order gifts for my mom, dad, and grandmother. Then I can kick it and relax with Crystal, and some good TV.

Let’s get this day over with, so the weekend is one step closer. Happy Thursday!

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

It’s cold out there. And dark. My weather app says with the wind, it’s about -39🦫 out there. That’s a nasty cold. I wouldn’t want to go out in it if I didn’t have to. But I do. It’s all good. It’ll warm up a little.

I slept like the dead last night. I woke up about 2 minutes before the alarm went off. I rolled on to my back, and Pippin strolled right on to my bladder. That was a little uncomfortable. As soon as the alarm went off, I rolled out and almost ran to the bathroom.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. BossLady was pretty low-key and mostly worked quietly at her desk. Which was nice. I had a few things to do, which I got done. I’m pretty sure that the Design Night that was supposed to happen tonight, isn’t going to happen. No one signed up for it or anything. Two is enough. We got some pretty good sales from those two nights. I packed up all the gift bag supplies, and took the upstairs. Done for another year.

The coffee is nice and warm. Hopefully the weather agrees and does the same thing. It maybe cold at the beginning of the week, but it’s warming up a little bit starting tomorrow. That’s nice. I have to move stuff around and into outside storage. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow when it’s warmer.

Ok, let’s get the day started. More coffee!

These are the days when you wish your bed was already made

Good morning mes amies. It’s dark, but not too chilly out there for the few moments I was out there. It seems like the wind has died down. It snowed a little out there. Just a dusting though. Just enough to make you feel closed in standing on the little deck.

I slept ok last night. Chaucer, I think, was trying to get into a bag full of Christmas gifts that are supposed to go south. I took the bag from him. Then I could’ve swore I heard him getting sick. I couldn’t find any sick. So I tried to go back to sleep. That was around 4 this morning.

I managed to fall back to sleep, thankfully.

The alarm startled me when it went off this morning, and now here we are. Coffee. News. And a kitten in my lap. She’s not going to be happy when I hit publish, and have to get up. But she’ll get over it. Let’s go Tuesday!

The whole shack shimmies when everybody’s movin’ around

Another Sunday over, a new Monday – just begun. Welcome back to the land of the awoken. Awaken? Woke? I don’t know, it sounded better in my mind. I’m awake, and you’re awake. Here’s some coffee. It’s hot, and tasty.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. We slept in just a little, and chores went off without a problem. In the afternoon, Crystal requested one of her favourite movies – Twilight. So I obliged here and put it on. She loves that movie.

After Twilight, I started the Hot Mess Express, and we headed up to Shady Acres, where I ordered some Christmas gifts for Crystal, and we had a yummy dinner of pulled pork, rice and coleslaw.

When we got back, we watched the season 8 finale of Supernatural, and a few episodes of Law & Order. Then we headed off to bed. Crystal made it until about 5:30ish and moved out to the couch. We’ll figure out why she gets so warm, and cool her down, so she stays in the bed.

Nothing much at all planned for today. If Crystal’s package is here I’ll head up after brunch to pick it up, and grab some more cereal from the grocery store.

So let’s have a nice relaxing Monday. Work tomorrow.

And if you fall I’ll pick you up

Good morning fellow earthlings. It’s another day in the metropolis of TinyTown. The sun is coming up, and if you can notice, it’s a layer time in the morning. Yesterday I shut the alarm off in hopes that we’d be able to sleep in a little. I managed to sleep in, but I don’t think that Crystal was able to.

I think she was out on the couch around 5 this morning. When I got up she was getting up as well. I turned her bed up too high by mistake. I’ll have to remember to only turn it to 1.

Yesterday was a typical Saturday. No one showed up until five minutes before closing. Thankfully they were just coming to pick up the furniture that they bought the day before. But still. It’s all good. I basically sold one couch, a small sectional, and two recliners between Saturday and Sunday.

Today as you know is Chore Day 2 ™️. Nothing major, just the regular stuff to do. I usually start it around this time, but since I slept in, I’m sure I’ll be starting it shortly.

Ok, ready, set, coffee time!
