Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake

Good morning! It’s Friyay! For the sake of moving the story along, we’ll say that I slept through the night without getting up twice because my knee locked up, and of course, having to pee.

It’s wicked windy out there today. Winds of about 50kph. It may not be that fast when you convert to mph, but I’m in the prairies, so that mean flat flat, flaaaaat land, with nothing to break up the wind or slow it down.

After work, I have to walk up to Shady Acres to drop off some mail, and to pick up the truck, because I’ll be going for some groceries tomorrow morning. Not a lot, but enough to make it another couple of weeks before the next pay cheque. I just think it’ll be nice to get out of TinyTown for a couple of hours.

But right now, coffee and some news. Happy Friyay everyone!

Extreme cold. Yep that’s the truth. It’s currently -29c and -38c with the wind. Oh, and we’re expecting more snow sometime today. Fun.

I slept almost all the way through the night. Only getting up once to go to the the bathroom. I think I was cold in the night as I tried to drag 60lbs worth of weighted blankets around. The bed look like a war zone! I’ll have to fix that tonight.

I woke up this morning believing that it’s Friday. I have to force myself to drop that idea, or I’m going to be very disappointed tomorrow morning.

Oh, and congrats to the Canadian Woman’s hockey team that defeated the Americans at the Olympics. Woohoo!

I am the smartest man alive.

I am the stupidest man alive.

Yesterday I got both the COVID booster, and the flu shot. Two shots two different arms.

Well last night was the night that I couldn’t get get comfortable. I tossed and turned. Every time I did, I woke up. One, three, five, and 6:50 am. At three and five I woke up with my knee locked.

Good times.

But I have coffee and it’s Wednesday. Only a couple more days of work, then I’ll be off for the weekend.

But right now, happy Wednesday!

Yup, if you’re looking at the photo above, you know what that means, I got a new coffee maker. You see when the great crystal was up here she figured out how to do the timer. So I’d wake up to a pot of coffee, because it would turn on 15 minutes before the alarm went off.

Yesterday, it never turned on.

I quickly adjusted, and used my French press.

Long story short (too late), I got a new coffee maker, at a crazy price. Happiness ensued.

Yay.

Back to work today. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Well, I’ve been down so very damn long that it looks like up to me

Good morning happy Monday. The monday curse strikes again. This time – my coffee pot. It died sometime in the night. The lights still work, but the element or the actual coffee working mechanism doesn’t anymore. The coffee maker is probably 25-30 years old.

Thankfully, I have a French press to get a coffee into me. After 8, I can walk up to the local hardware store, and I should be able to buy a new one. Overpriced, yes. But I’ll have a new coffee maker without having to wait a week before going into a slightly bigger town to buy one.

So I got one cup of French press. I’ll live, and I’ll make some more shortly after the hardware store is open.

Happy Monday.
