I hear her voice in the morning hour – she calls to me

Posted on by Shawshank

Good sleep. Wake up to a different coffee pot. Couldn’t get it to work for 20 minutes. Why doesn’t it just have a frigging on/off button? It has 2 sliders, and 3 buttons. I shouldn’t need a PhD to turned the damned thing on.

Excuse me I need to get some coffee.

I think I remember having weird dreams. Not weird bad, but I do remember at one point in my dreams thinking I should remember this to tell Crystal later. But alas, earwax, I can’t remember them at all.

Today, I have a couple things to do, I gotta relocate the “Romance Rack” – the Nora Roberts bookcase back to its rightful place in the living room. Then we’re gonna head to SlightlyBiggerTown for some basic groceries.

Happy Monday y’all

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad – so I had one more for desert

It’s Sunday. I allowed myself to sleep in until 7:30 – I maybe could’ve slept longer. It was a good sleep. I needed it.

Yesterday was a good day. After a morning of internally freaking out, because I was solo in the store for the first time. At 1 minute before the store opened, I got a call. “ I want to pick up my chair, because I’m afraid with COVID, you guys will have to close soon. I’m an hour away, I’m leaving now.”

Cue the mini freak out.

After a phone call to the boss, (who I didn’t want to call) the chair was found and the customer left very happy. I could breathe again.

I put on Lite Rock 105 – New England’s Christmas station, and I even enjoyed all the commercials for places that I can remember. Oh oh oh O’Reily: Auto parts! Hahaha

The rest of the day was quiet. Had a couple customers come in and buy some little things. I got a lot of cleaning done, while cursing how slobby women can be. I did the dishes, cleaned the toilets, vacuumed, etc. I cleaned up emails – and got it down to 8 unread ones.

Finally it was time to go. But I couldn’t go home right away I had to go and pick up a free king size mattress from the warehouse that the boss was giving me. I had talked to my dad the night before about helping me build a bed frame for it.

The rest of the family had to go into BiggerTown, to hit up the Walmart for inexpensive cat supplies, and my grandmother surprised me with 90% of the wood that I’m going to need to build the frame, so when I get my first pay check, most of it will probably go to her.

So when they got back my dad sat down and started drawing up the blueprints for the bed. The basic bed frame should be done sometime this week. We’ll be working on it after dinner this week. I’m just happy I’ll be off a day bed. I’ll be able to stretch out.

Back to my coffee, and Assassin’s Creed on TV. Happy Sunday y’all!

Heart breaker, soul shaker – I’ve been told about you

Good morning! Happy Saturday! I had some weird dreams last night. Crystal and I were part of the cast of Riverdale. And one of our own was kidnapped, so we infiltrated the enemy compound, which turned out to be an exact replica of the town. It was wicked strange.

Today, I work in the store. Alone. For four hours. I’m nervous. But it is what it is, and I’ll get through it. After work, I have to remember to grab the keys to the warehouse, so I can grab the king sized mattress that I was given.

Most of Shady Acres is awake. They’re going to MostlyBiggerCity to get cat food and other supplies for the two tyrants that run this house. And for some reason they’re talkative. Soon they’ll want to talk to me.

I just want coffee.

Work is going pretty well. I have a co-worker. You know the kind, *holds up spork*. The kind that has no idea how loud they are. This one is even better because she doesn’t know how to use a computer, HER phone, tablet etc. I was telling her about one thing, in case I was in the bathroom or something, and I could tell she had no idea what I was talking about and she was getting stressed about it. All it was, was this:

If I’m in the bathroom when the deliver kid gets here, here’s the slip for him.

That’s it. That’s all.

Yeah, I know.

Anyways, happy Saturday. You’re going to have a great day. You can do this. I love you.

Sippin’ Whiskey out the bottle – not thinkin’ about tomorrow

We made it y’all! It’s Friyay! I’m up, with coffee. I actually slept normal. No stuffed up breathing issues. No tossing and turning. I did climb on top of the weighted blanket some point in the night

It was a good sleep.

Tomorrow, with 3 days of hap-hazard training, I’ll be opening and running the shop for 4 hours. By. Myself. I fully expect all hell to break loose. I’ll be ok. I know I will.

The position is a lot more than what was in the paper. We all got a stern talking to about being in the office so long, then I was given more tasks that’ll keep me in the office.

I did some strong back weak mind yesterday. I helped move some furniture around and all that. When I go in today, if it hasn’t been done, I’ll unwrap the new couch. It’s blue. I’ll have to take a picture.

Ok, I need more coffee.

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Well I lived through another wine n design night. Didn’t get home until shortly after 10. Gulped down 15mg of melatonin, and chatted with Crystal for about 25-35 minutes. I guess it didn’t take long for the ‘tonin to kick in, i think i was out around 10:50. Then very quickly up at 5, worried about time. But went right back to sleep.

I have a headache. I hope the combination of Advil and coffee will help with that.

Today is the day in the Province, where if you’re in any business in the province you must wear a mask. I haven’t really worn a mask other than like 10-15 minutes in a Walmart.

That’s all I got this morning. I hope everyone has a good Thursday.
