But if you’d really grab me tight – all the way home I’d be warm

So we had our first major snowstorm here. I couldn’t tell if it was snowing hard, or if it was the 30kmh winds. I think it was the winds because where i had just shovelled it had drifted.

I think it snowed maybe 6-7 inches. Total. My dad says there’s about 4 inches on the ground where I shovelled last night.

Coffee.

I slept like a stone last night. Up just once to pee. And then I was out again. I needed a solid sleep like that.

My mom has some pretty wild cats, and this is what she has to do every night. I don’t think they even exchanged gifts or put up a tree last year or the year before. Somewhere in there is a gift for me and Crystal. When I saw it last night, I had tears in my eyes.

So yeah. Sigh. Tears. I love you

So deck those halls – trim those trees

Good morning everyone. I’m just gonna cut to the point. I had a much better sleep than the night before. It still took a few minutes to fall asleep, and sleep was light before the alarm went off. But it was a better sleep than the night before.

I could’ve slept for another couple of hours. But I forced myself to get up and dressed.

Coffee.

So I’ve been internally freaking out because we’re expecting lots of snow – like 25 centimetres of snow. Sounds like a lot huh? Well I just did a cm to inch converter. It’s only like 9.8 inches. That’s not a lot. I don’t have to freak out anymore. I’m not worried at all now. I’m getting used to Celsius but centimetres and that stuff. Still working on it.

So just two full days of work. Today, and tomorrow. Thursday, we close at 2. Thursday at 3, I’ll probably be wrapping the gifts for mom, dad, and gramma. Because that’s how I roll.

Happy Tuesday y’all.

Good morning everyone. It’s Monday, need I say anything more? I had a pretty sucktastic sleep last night. The Melatonin, it did nothing. Nothing at all.

But it’s ok. Least I don’t have to be at work today. Today, I’m going to SlightlyBiggerTown to buy more sleep aids. By sleep aids, I mean legal weed.

Coffees ready. Be right back.

We got an offer on the house. My first thought it we should take it, because I don’t know if we’d get another offer. I’m trying to stay positive. I just want the house sold so it’s gone.

It’s going to be a long day here. It’s hard when you wake up exhausted.

Happy Monday my friends. Let’s make it the best Monday that it can be. I love you.

Good morning party people. It’s Sunday, and it’s dark out. Last night, after a very disappointing Christmas episode on SNL, I just zonked out. Out like a light. I was a little tossy turny. At about 6, I was woke up by a sound that really sounded like I had just knocked my bowl off the side of my bed.

I didn’t knock the bowl off the side of my bed.

I thought nothing of it, and went back to sleep until my alarm scared the crap out of me, and it was time to start my day. I got up, and got dressed. I leave my room, and go across the hall to pee and brush my teeth. I’m doing the ol thousand yard stare through the shower, and my eyes catch what made the sound about an hour and a half earlier.

I stared at it in disbelief, as I completed my business. Then I got up, and got most of the litter back into the box. Those cats must have had a wild night. I can only think that one of them was in the box, doing what cats do, only to be ambushed as they were leaving. Ensuing chaos, as she exited, in hopes to defend herself.

So yeah, it’s been a crazy morning here at Shady Acres. But I have my coffee, and apparently, I have a new tradition; I have a Christmas movie on. I guess in this one, that one chick from lost that Crystal hates, is looking for love. Let’s see how this one pans out.

There’s a few things I have to get done today. I have to clean the stove, I need to read for at least an hour. There’s book club, and I have to get 2 or 3 more posts in the queue. It’ll be a busyish day. Or at least the afternoon

So tell me, does the road to the Superb Owl still go through Foxboro? Haha. Happy Sunday everyone!

Through the years we all will be together – if the fates allow

Good morning, happy Saturday. I’m up and dressed. Just waiting for my coffee. It was an ok sleep, I transitioned to a light sleep probably an hour before the alarm went off.

It’s an early day today; the shop is only open until 2. Then my weekend can start! If all goes as planned, I’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown Monday, to finish Christmas shopping. Only a few more to go.

I honestly can’t think of anything else right now. I’m not fully awake to expound on different things. So, I don’t think you’re missing too much anyways. I hope y’all enjoy your Saturday.
