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.

With the exception of a time check at about 5, I slept through the night. A little warm, but sleeping brain doesn’t think to turn down the heated mattress pad.

It’s the day of the big game. For the first time in a long time, I don’t know who’s playing. I won’t be able to watch it today. I won’t be having appetizers for dinner. About a half hour after kick off, I’ll be in The Flat by myself, probably watching Critical Role.

I usually didn’t pay too much attention, unless the Patriots were playing. I was there for the commercials. Up north of the wall, I haven’t even heard any mention of the game, and only one mention of a Super Bowl commercial.

But right now, it’s cold, windy, and dark out. I have some coffee, some tears in my eyes over a stupid Sports Ball game.

It maybe Super Bowl Sunday, but it’s also chores day here, so that’ll keep me busy for about twenty minutes.

So I’ll pose this question to you:

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!

We’ll, the alarm didn’t really scare me this morning, I was more confused on why it was going off. Aside from waking up once, just to see what time it was, I slept Althea way through the night.

But, it’s Saturday, and I’m working today. With part time NewGirl calling out over the last two days, and BossLady on vacation, it’s been a quiet later half of the week.

But I have some coffee and the local news on to help me wake up.

Happy birthday to my beautiful and wonderful wife. She’s sleeping right now, but I really hope she has a good day. Happy birthday my love 🎂

Good morning everyone. Once again, after a beautiful spring day. We enter the next stage of winter. Have you ever heard of Second Winter?

I went to bed last night, and actually with the exception of waking up at one point in the night, I slept all the way through until my alarm went off. It’s been a while since I’ve done that.

Yep, it’s back to -30s with the wind chill. We got really spoiled yesterday when it was about 5 degrees above freezing all day.

But first a warm cuppa coffee.

Time to wake up. Happy Friyay!

Yawn, morning everyone. We’ll that was a sleep I guess. I was up multiple times, each time having to pee. The last time, my knee decided to lock up. I didn’t really have to pee but I did anyways.

So I was up at 2, then 3, then finally 5, before I slept until the alarm went off. It’s been a long time since I slept that terrible.

So it goes.

The coffee is nice and warm. It’s pretty windy out there this morning. It’s rain/snowing. And it’s pretty windy outside. It’s supposed to be like this pretty much all day.

Ok, I’m gonna drink coffee and try to wake up. Happy Thursday.
