Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen – doin’ the werewolves of London

Good happy Tuesday everyone! I think I only got up twice in the night. Once to pee, and once to pick up what Pippin knocked down. We’re on different (mostly) sleep schedules. She plays until 3 or 4 then comes to bed. Last night it was about 4:30, and her last act of terrorism was to knock the thermometer off tue top of the fridge. I got up and asked her to come to bed. Enough playing. She came a couple of minutes later I think. She hunkered down and snuggled until the alarm went off.

Then the alarm went off.

But we’re all awake now. Pippin is nodding off on the cube. It’s somewhat sunny out, but just a little windy out. It rained really hard yesterday for maybe 20 minutes. There was even a surprise showing of some hail for a second as well.

This isn’t good for the harvest. But they’ll get it done. They always do. This weird weather is just slowing them down. A lot.

Back to work today. Should be a good day. Let’s make it a good day! Happy Tuesday!

Stole me a dog eared map and called for you everywhere

Good rainy morning everyone. It’s a gray day, and the rains have started. According to my dad, this weather, and the weather that we’ve had for the past week or so, is not conducive for harvest. Only 5 out of 19 fields have been put to bed so to speak. They’re behind. That’s not a good thing.

I’m currently sitting here with a nice steaming cup of coffee watching the Queens final trip to Windsor castle to be laid to rest next to Prince Philip.

I don’t have any plans for the day, Monday’s are nice like that. It’s like a bonus day for me. The one day of the weekend that I can actually have no plans. All the chores have been completed, all I have to wait for is 1pm, and I can watch the latest episode of Critical Role.

So let’s get the day rocking! Happy Monday y’all!

Also, God save the King.

So bounce, bounce! Come on, bounce! (Gunshots) I said come on, bounce!

Good Sunday morning everyone! I woke up, and it’s bright and sunshiny outside. It’s warming up very nicely. We have a high here of just over 70° today.

I’m still sipping some coffee, and mentally planning my morning. Yep, it’s chore day here, so I should get started soon. Soon because, I might have to go up to Shady Acres a little early today – it’s a possible apple picking day.

In reality, I’ve already pretty much started on the chores. I’ve already done two of the daily tasks of steeling Pippin’s poops, and refilling her water dish. The meat and potatoes of the chores have yet to be started.

So let’s get this day started! Moar coffee!

Oh, I’m not the girl I was or used to be. Uh, bitch, I might be better

It’s a very very quiet and gray day out there. I mean, it’s totally silent out there. Maybe a cheep for some birds, but no other sounds out there this morning. It’s eerie out there. Very Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

But I’m up, mostly dressed, and almost ready to greet the day. Coffee has been brewed, and Dateline is playing on the ol boob tube.

Nothing much going on this morning. I do have plans to head over to SlightlyBiggerTown to do some grocery shopping, but that won’t be for a few hours.

Other than that, I don’t really have any other plans for today. Chore day is tomorrow, so I’m sure I’ll find something to do.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Good morning party people! It’s finally Friyay! All that stand between me and the weekend is just one shift at the shop. I can make it! I know it.

I slept pretty good last night. Just a little tossy turny. My neck is still toight like a toiger. I’m sure it’ll take a couple of days for it to settle down and act like a normal neck again.

Going grocery shopping tomorrow, so I’ll be popping into SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. That’ll be fun. It’s always nice to do something different from the norm. I have my list, so it should be a quick in and out.

But before all that can happen – coffee first.

Happy Friyay!
