Baby, it’s cold outside

Posted on by Shawshank

Sweet baby Jeebus, it’s wicked cold out there with the windchill, it’s about -35°f. I got up very very early in the morning, about 10 minutes before the alarm went off.

But after picking up my coworker, we made it into work, and opened the store. Nothing special there. We sat for about an hour and a half before the first customer walked through the doors.

Now I’m at home, with no plans of leaving the house again until tomorrow morning, when I have to pick up a coworker and head in for the full day.

Fin.

Yep it’s cold. Very cold. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m at home with a happy Chaucer on my lap. Lemme tell you, it was hard getting up this morning. I woke up at 4:22, missing my sleep mask. So I figured I might as well get up and start the day.

I got up turned on the coffee pot, and that’s when Chaucer wandered out to say good morning. I fed him, then quickly got dressed. I figured I had about 40 minutes before I had to start the Hot Mess. The car had a little trouble starting, but did fire up right away, which made my day.

Now I’m home, and I’ll probably fire up Persona 5 Royal in a few minutes. Unless Crystal is taking her hair off and then I’ll cut all the elastics and then play.

It’s a pretty good day so far even though I’ve only had one cup of coffee. But that’s ok.

Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy

I’m awake.

The snow is still there.

And, we’re expecting more.

Happy Friyay everyone! But with this week’s schedule, it doesn’t matter, as I’m working all weekend. And its supposed to snow all weekend. Less than a foot, I believe. But yeah snow

Chaucer just climbed on to my lap. He’s always nice and warm on my lap. So I have 1 kitten, and half a cup of coffee right now with, Crystal sitting beside me, what more could I want? Nothing. I’m pretty happy at this moment.

So yeah, it’s Friyay. Let’s make it the best Friyay possible.

My tight dress and red lips, I know you want it, I’m just living that life

Here I am, I didn’t forget about you, dear readers. I had to be up at the ass-crack of dawn. Before dawn. I was at work when dawn began to break.

It was a rare 5:30-1:30 shift for yours truly. Thankfully I didn’t have to be outside for long, because our part timer who only goes to do gas had to be out in the cold.

I took a chance and wore my steel toed Docs to work. I was worried that my feet would be killing me after 8 hours, but my feet feel fine after.

We’re expecting more snow this weekend. It’s my first week of being the “night manager”, so I was asking BossLady all sorts of questions regarding the snow. It’s business as usual. That’s all I needed to know.

But none of that matters right now. It’s for future Shawshank. Right now I have Chaucer on my lap, and I’m home relaxing. Seems like a good Thursday to me.

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

It’s cold out there. And dark. My weather app says with the wind, it’s about -39🦫 out there. That’s a nasty cold. I wouldn’t want to go out in it if I didn’t have to. But I do. It’s all good. It’ll warm up a little.

I slept like the dead last night. I woke up about 2 minutes before the alarm went off. I rolled on to my back, and Pippin strolled right on to my bladder. That was a little uncomfortable. As soon as the alarm went off, I rolled out and almost ran to the bathroom.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. BossLady was pretty low-key and mostly worked quietly at her desk. Which was nice. I had a few things to do, which I got done. I’m pretty sure that the Design Night that was supposed to happen tonight, isn’t going to happen. No one signed up for it or anything. Two is enough. We got some pretty good sales from those two nights. I packed up all the gift bag supplies, and took the upstairs. Done for another year.

The coffee is nice and warm. Hopefully the weather agrees and does the same thing. It maybe cold at the beginning of the week, but it’s warming up a little bit starting tomorrow. That’s nice. I have to move stuff around and into outside storage. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow when it’s warmer.

Ok, let’s get the day started. More coffee!
