Tell me whatcha wanna do, whatcha gonna do?

Good morning everyone! It’s Saturday, and it’s dark outside. I’m up with coffee, and Crystal is becoming human.

It was a glorious lazy day here at the Flat. We played a couple of hours of Cat Quest 2, and gained about 7 or 8 levels. It’s a really fun game. I like beating on things until they stop moving.

After that we cooked dinner and settled in to watch a movie. We watched Clerks 3. Wow. What a beautiful love letter to the original film. So much nostalgia. I was in tears a couple of times at the end. Kevin Smith, while being the king of fart jokes, etc can sure write himself some very touching dialogue. All I could think of at the end, was they look so young in the flashbacks. SO VERY YOUNG.

They were. The original move came out in 1994. 28 years ago it came out. Wow. It still feels like the 90s were 10 years ago.

After that heavy heavy movie, I needed something to cleanse the palette to say the least. Crystal suggested Bad Boys for Life. It was a very good popcorn movie for sure with just enough of a plot/storyline to make it passable. You can really notice that these characters are getting older, there were less stunt-fighting. But still a quality flick.

We’re off to CapitalCity for a day of shopping. It’ll be a long day, but a good day.

Pitter patter…

And everyone telling you be of good cheer

Good morning my fronds. I’ve been up on and off since probably 5am when Chaucer wanted a kitty rave. So after he was done, I cleaned it up, and looked out the window. There’s a dusting of snow, and you can hear the wind.

I’m gonna need coffee before we leave. In order to time everything right, we’ll probably be leaving around 8:30, that way once we make it to the Paris of the Prairies, the gas station will be open and we’ll be able to get gas.

Weather wise, it doesn’t look bad out there at all, it’s just windy

W-I-N-D-Y

Happy Sunday y’all!!

Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Greetings and salutations you shiny and happy people. It’s a rare afternoon post from yours truly. I was up at the normal time, but decided to post after heading to SlightlyBiggerTown – you know, in case something interesting happened.

Spoiler alert: nothing interesting happened!

Aside from having to wait for a train to go by. That was about it. I didn’t even see any animals in my travels today.

I did however, but groceries, lunch, and some weed. Then got back into the truck, and drove back to TinyTown.

All in all a good couple of hours. I even remembered to switch the station back to my moms country station.

As I was just about to turn into town, something caught my eye. So much so, that I had to turn around, stop, and take a picture.

Yep. I truly don’t think there are any words for something like this.

Ok, time to kick back, and relax. I don’t have anywhere that I need to be. Happy Saturday dudes and dudettes!

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY! Amirite? I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it’s a grey, breezy day out there. But it seems like it’ll be a good day for a drive to CapitalCity.

The coffee is brewing and my parents should be picking me up in about 2 hours. I say should be, because we never actually leave when they say we’re going to.

Since the plan was to leave this morning and be gone pretty much all day, I did my laundry yesterday after work. One load went fine. Then on the second, during the spin and drain, something terrible happened; buzzing noise, and then nothing. I contacted the landlord. I pulled all the clothes out of the cold water, and hand wrung them and put them in the dryer.

It’s a long weekend, and I don’t know when it’ll be fixed. But it’ll get fixed. I was pissed and frustrated. Then I had an epiphany. I’m not an owner, I’m a renter. It’s not up to me to pay for a new one.

My mom says I can bring laundry up to ShadyAcres. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than the alternative – not having access to a washer.

Ok, I’ve rambled enough, and the coffee is ready. Chit chat later. Enjoy your day!

I’ve been a bad, bad girl

It’s been a whirlwind weekend here. I covered part of a shift at work, then yesterday, I had to drive my dad up to CapitalCity. He thought he had a detached retina, but thankfully, he didn’t. Just a flake of his eye came off, and that’s what he’s seeing. From what he told my mom and and I, there’s no surgery for it, and he’ll have to live with it.

Today, I’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown to do some basic shopping. I don’t need too much, so it shouldn’t take too long.

Right now, I’m waking up, and the coffee is brewing. After I’m finished shopping and get home, I ain’t doing shit. I just want to be able to relax and do nothing. Nothing. I had a long hard week last week, and I was hoping to recover from that. I’m still sore of having a week of moving furniture. So this afternoon. Absolutely nothing.

But right now, coffee and chats with Crystal. Happy Monday.
