Every Friday night there’s a steady cloud of dust that leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks

So I don’t know if the headphones playing nice quiet stuff helped me fall asleep, or if I fell asleep on my own. I think I might try wearing my old mask, and the new mask over top of it. We’ll see. I’ll have to figure it out, but it’ll be trying stuff before I find something that works.

Coincidently, I was talking to Crystal about finding the guy that she listens to at night, and like 30 minutes later, my mobile phone provider sent me an email with a subscription to Calm. I have calm, but didn’t want to pay for anything on it. Now, I don’t have to.

So, we’ll try again tonight.

I don’t feel groggy, which is a bonus for sure.

Now, I just have to find something that I like, and then I’ll try and find the same narrator for a few, then I’ll try and figure out if I can create a playlist, and then let’s go! I’ll definitely try anything.

I hope all y’all have a good Wednesday. I’ll be back to work tomorrow afternoon. Then I work until Saturday afternoon. Weekend off baby!

I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes

I’m awake. It’s dark out.

I slept ok last night. With my neck being really sore and hard to move, it was hard to sleep, and even do something as simple as rolling over, woke me up each time. Every time. Then Podrick started his Podrick things, and I knew I didn’t have long to sleep.

And, here we are now. Both awake. Podrick is trying his hardest to play with Pippin, but she just doesn’t want anything to do with him. But she does want to start some shit.

So we headed to SlightlyBiggerTown yesterday morning for supplies and to just get the heck out of dodge for a while. It was a beautiful day to drive. Nice and sunny, and of course, not a lot of traffic. We hit up the grocery store, and went up and down the aisles. Then, over to the pharmacy for a couple of things. Then the dispo for a cart for The Beautiful One. I hit up the vape shop, then we went over to Subway.

10 minutes later, we were back on the road to TinyTown. Once home, we didn’t do shit for the afternoon, other than laundry. But how, I head back to work this afternoon for a shift. Then another day off. Then, I’ll be working until Saturday afternoon.

Let’s goooo!

You my lil’ suga, I’m yo’ little chulo

Podrick’s being Podrick this morning. And my neck is locked up. It seems like every winter this happens. It’ll be a few days to a week before I can turn my neck all the way on both sides.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It wasn’t too busy, nor too slow. It gave me a chance to do a lot of cleaning in between customers. Finally after about an hour and a half, I called it. No more cleaning. Bing Bing and I grooved out to iHeartthe90s. It was a long day. Sundays usually are, and both of us were drained when we finally left.

Today, we’ll be travelling to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies, and just to get the heck out of TinyTown for a couple of hours. It’s dark right now, but hopefully it’ll be a nice day for a drive later on this morning.

If you drink, don’t drive do the watermelon crawl

Well, it’s morning.

I had to set the alarm last night because, I have to work this morning. I hate when I have to set the alarm. I sleep like shit every time. I was wide awake at 3 this morning, then slept lightly until Podrick was starting up. So, yeah, shit sleep. It’s still dark out. I don’t like that.

My coworker told me last night, that he hit a deer. He’s had his license for about a month, and his first car for about the same time. He managed to slow down to about 40kph before he hit it.

My other coworker that worked the morning shift yesterday, managed to get one when he was hunting yesterday after work. He thanked me for wishing him good luck, and sent the picture. I told him to mount the head on the front of his truck.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. The afternoon and evening seemed to pass pretty quickly. Everything went off without a hitch. I did have two hicks come in, parking at the gas pump. I asked if they wanted it filled up. They just wanted to probably get something to drink. I asked them to move away from the pumps and park in the parking lot. They asked why they should move. I said we might need the pump. Finally with grumbling of fucking asshole, they get in the truck, and fly out of the parking lot.

Oh well.

The rest of the shift went without a hitch. The first shift guy, forgot to do a major part of his duties yesterday, so I’ll have to do it today, before we open.

I need coffee.

Podrick is running around like an idiot this morning. He wants the birds, and he wants them now.

It doesn’t look like he ravaged the Flat in the night. The blankets on the pirate chest were thrown off in the night, so I had to fix those this morning. It’s strange, nothing else was really knocked around. It’s my mind playing tricks on me. I apparently hear things and attribute them to Podrick, which of course causes my anxiety to spike.

But other than the items I picked up before we fell asleep, the bookcase wasn’t touched. I’m impressed.

Work last night, in the grand scheme of things wasn’t that bad. I was just drained. And it showed. This afternoon will be a lot better. I feel more rested (I think), than this time yesterday. The kids switched shifts for today, so no Bing Bing tonight, I’ll have GenAlpha. I haven’t worked with him for a while, so that’ll be fun. I might have to find a radio station to annoy him tonight. The kids seem to really like iHeart2000s.

So let’s greet the day, and kick it in the pants!
