They’re magically delicious

Good warm morning everyone. It’s gonna be a hot one today, and for the the next couple of days. It was also a warm one whilst we slept last night. I know I was a warm little camper last night. We slept above the weighted blanket, but under another one. As I was falling asleep, my mind was saying “climb up, sleep on top of all the blankets.”

I didn’t sleep on top all the blankets, but I might tonight – depending on the temperature of the house. Pippin is upset that I didn’t open the back door this morning. Have you ever tried to reason with a kitten?

Spoiler alert: you really can’t.

It’s like a sauna in here…

This weather isn’t supposed to even be here yet. This is August weather. But that’s ok, I think ol Mother Nature is trying to make sure that Crystal is comfortable for her first summer here. Why not bring the Florida weather for her?

We did a whole bunch of nothing yesterday. We did head out to SlightlyBiggerTown for some supplies. Crystal needed makeup sponges – we went to the dollar store to price them out. I believe that Crystal will be ordering them online.

From there I quickly ran into the grocery store. I needed cereal and coffee. I had just enough at the Flat to make it until this morning. So I grabbed some. From there to the weed store. I bought some “summer glass”. A small unassuming bong that’s actually taller than my coffee pot. It’s a big boy for sure.

We got home, and I unboxed it. – shit that could’ve been a great TikTok for Crystal. She could’ve unboxed it. And filmed it. Shitballs. Anyways, since it’s our summer glass, it will be used when we’re out on the lanai – provided we get some citronella candles or something out there to take care of the buggies.

We took a couple rips shortly after we got home. Crystal settled into a crafty project, and me, armed with some weed in my system went to work on randomly wandering around killing bobokins as I found them in TotK.

Today is chore day. Yay chores.

But before all that – let’s get some coffee in us. Happy Sunday everyone! Stay frosty out there.

Then put your warm little hand in mine

Good morning everyone. We’re in day 2 of a heat wave, north of the wall. You see, when it hits over 32c, we get a heat warning. And apparently, when it gets this hot, the wind that’s ever present, always blowing – simply stops.

So it’s this hot, and no air movement. It’s already 23 here, and expected to get hotter, and then this afternoon, we’re also expecting thunderstorms.

So with all that news, I’m gonna do my chores tomorrow, when it’s cooler both inside and out.

When it was time for bed, I climbed in and called for Pippin. She came up and look a minute or two to get comfortable. She started off about half an arms length from me, and slowly got closer and closer to me until she was on top of me, then moved about an arms length from me. She decided I was too warm. She settled in, and promptly fell asleep.

I bought a new alarm clock yesterday and set it up. The only thing I didn’t do was set the morning alarm. Even without the alarm, I managed to wake up shortly after 7.

Yesterdays trip to CaptialCity was good. Too many people, and too warm, but I got just about everything that was on my list. I did forget creamer, but before I got to Shady Acres for dinner I’ll run to the gas station to see if they have any there, along with milk.

I got a Roku. Lemme tell you, it’s feakin awesome. So awesome, I’ve unplugged the Chromecast, and it’s in a drawer right now. If Roku continues to be awesome, I’ll give it to my parents and they can put it in the camper. I bought another Chromecast for my mom for her craft room. That’s a total of 3 at Shady Acres. I’m totally dragging them into the 21st century.
