Yeah it’s been a long night – and the mirror is telling me to go home

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning. We’re under a winter storm advisory. I guess shits about to get real here. I slept pretty good last night. Again, only up to go to the bathroom, but another solid sleep.

Coffee.

I’m pretty sure I found the channel today, that’s playing at least the first couple of Fast and Furious movies. I’m watching the first one right now.

I don’t think there’s too much going on here. Everyone’s home, which means my dad will get up around 11, eat lunch and go back to sleep until 4, have dinner around 5:30/6:00. Manage to stay up til 8, and then Shady Acres will go back to sleep for the evening.

But for right now, it’s quiet, and I have coffee.

Here I go, here I go, here I go again

Good morning. Happy Saturday. I passed out last night. It was a combination of allergy drugs, melatonin, and just being tired. But mostly it was the allergy meds. I’m still stuffy this morning. But it’s always bad in the mornings. I have to be better tonight, tonight is SNL.

Last week in the local newsletter, there was a position of store floor manager at the local furniture store. I applied, and sent the owner a quick email, just asking for an informal sit down just to talk about the position a little more and to learn about the company a little more. I had that sit down yesterday morning.

Also, mom had to go to the dentist. She left early in the morning. She knew I was going to talk to the furniture woman and said it was no problem to leave my grandmother at home. I got the email saying that she was leaving the dentist and was on her way home. It takes her a half hour to get home. I got up and dressed and told my grandmother that mom would be home in 20 minutes. And left. Just on foot, because it’s in TinyTown, and it’s literally 5 minutes down the road.

It was a great talk, and I think that the owner is going to have to think about who she provisionally hired, and all that. I think/hope I impressed. Anyways, fast forward to after lunch, and my mom said that when she got home, my grandmother was waiting outside for her, without her walker, both doors wide open. Just standing out there waiting. This is a woman that can’t stand for more than a couple of minutes. Who knows how long she was out there for. I feel guilty for leaving her. Mom says not to feel guilty at all. It wasn’t my fault or anyone’s fault. It’s the dementia.

On a happy note, it’s Saturday, so that means it’s almost time for the Lockup Library Book Club. In a few hours we’ll be talking about 1922 in Full Dark, No Stars. I got the chance to sit down and read, and just about finished this first short story. Woot!

It feels like my head is filled with mud. Coffee is helping. I think that was the most solid sleep I’ve had in a looong time. Which is really really nice. Wow, just scrolling up, man, I got wordy. That doesn’t happen very often. And heavy. I try and keep it light and happy here.

You know you love me I know you care – just shout whenever and I’ll be there

Awake. Did I really sleep though? I’m so so stuffed up. I’m so stuffed up, my eyes are watering. I hope it gets better throughout the day.

The election is still going on.

Coffee.

I don’t know if I’ll be working out at the farm this afternoon, I’d say probably, but I’ll await the phone call. Yesterday we got the engine all hooked up and the radiator installed.

It was a good day. I’m not as sore as I was the day before. Happy Friday, you made it!

You’re saying I’m fragile – I try not to be

Good morning everyone. It’s Thursday. And the United States still hasn’t chosen a new king yet. No one has mentioned how Kanye is doing.

I screen shot the electoral college stuff and it didn’t change overnight. Good thing or a bad thing? Has Trump tweeted that he’s won again?

But anyways. I’m going back into help my dad with rebuilding the tractor engine. It’s in, just needs to be bolted in and the accessories installed again. It’s been fun, I’m weak and can barely walk and lift things.

I really need some Advil and some coffee. Have a great Thursday everyone.

It’s only me who wants to wrap around your dreams

Morning. Need coffee. It was an ok sleep. Just not long enough. Fell asleep about a half hour later than normal. And I was out like a light.

I was part way to the second hand store yesterday, when my mom called and said my dad needed help out in the farm. So I turned around got the truck and drove there

I am so sore.

And it’s not a good sore.

And I’m going back today. I’ll probably be there most of the day, because there’s a lunch packed for me. So it should be a good day today.

It seems to run on some sort of electricity

That’s what we’re rebuilding. Every part, so heavy. Stupid farm equipment!
