So give them blood, blood – gallons of the stuff

Good morning, happy Friyay! Today is my first full day at work. I have to find out if I’m working tomorrow. That’ll be interesting. All by myself, 4 hours a day and a half training. I’m gonna talk with the other newbie, but a newbie that’s been there a week or two longer than me, and say you take this Saturday, and I’ll do next after I get some more real life experience.

The sleep was ok. Definitely better than the night before. But not the best. It still took a while to fall asleep. Some strange dreams – army mess hall, and unable to control my bladder. Strange!

But first, my coffee should be ready to consume. Mmm! Coffee!

I’m just looking forward to coming home, and chatting with Crystal! I am happy I got a job. I just gotta get used to getting up, and moving with a purpose again. Happy Friyay, friends!

Oh, before I forget, I’m planning on moving the Lockup Library Book Club to Sunday afternoon. That way it doesn’t interfere with my on/off work schedule.

So my first night, my trail by fire went really well. Thankfully it’s not an every day thing. I didn’t get home till shortly after 10. About an hour after I take my sleepy time medicine.

So needless to say I slept like shite. Tossing and turning. Bad dreams. up early in the morning to go to the bathroom. Too hot too cold. You know that usual. The dreams were weird. My nephew broke his bike and I was the only that wanted to fix it. I had to weld a part and by the time I got back his dad bought him a new bike. And they all laughed at me.

The other dream, I was with my mother in law, and Crystal and I were asking for money to get through the month, and she said no she couldn’t afford it, and then her other daughter called and said her car broke down, and my MIL said no problem, and bought her a new used minivan.

That’s when I walked home. Suddenly I wasn’t in RI, I was in TotallyBiggestTown, and I was trying to find my way home. I was all alone and totally lost.

Today, thankfully, I go in for only a few hours, then it’s home to look after my gramma as my mom has to get a tooth pulled. Tomorrow will be my first full shift. And even though I’m tired and have a headache, I’m kinda excited to go.

My saddle’s waiting – come and jump on it

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. It’s Remembrance Day here, at shortly before 11am, I’ll head down to the towns cenotaph to pay my respects.

Good news in TinyTown! I have procured a job! Tonight is my first night – trial by fire. I’m excited and nervous. I pretty much talked my way into this job, now we’ll see if I can produce!

But right now, I needs me some coffee.

Crystal showed me a cool get around for Duolingo, that give me unlimited hearts. For the iOS version you got 5 hearts – you get a question wrong you lose a heart. You lose all the hearts and you have to practice to get them back. It really slows you down. It got to the point, that I wasn’t doing any lessons, just my daily goal Nd that was it. Yesterday, I had fun and actually banged out over 200 xp!

I’m back baby!

-18 feel like temp -25c it’s frigid out there this morning. Two days ago in RI it was 75f. My dads truck has been running for about 45 minutes and it’s still a block of ice.

I slept like a rock last night. Passed right out.

So I’m slightly a head in Full Dark, I don’t want to get too far a head for book club, so I figured I’d read a book that I don’t really have to concentrate on. You guessed it, I grabbed my old beat up copy of Twilight. Yeah, I’m just that basic.

In my defense though, King’s short stories are like gold. Fast and easy to read. It’s like he’s almost build for short stories. I think with his longer books he doesn’t know how to end them sometimes.

But for right now, I’m gonna stay warm, drink some coffee, and chat with Crystal. Enjoy your Tuesday, y’all.

Time stands still – beauty in all she is

Good morning. It’s like a winter wonderland out there. Just a dusting of snow, on top of ice, so it’ll be a death trap out there, because the town doesn’t believe in sanding/salting the roads – you know, for safety. But don’t get me started on that!

According to one of 29 calendars in the house, it’s Monday. It’s also voting day for the town here. So I’m sure it’ll be a big shit show getting everyone down there.

But first, there’s always time for coffee!

I slept like a rock. I don’t think I moved at all. Didn’t get up once.

Happy Monday y’all!
