But we were learnin’ on a sweet buzz

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s a little chilly out there. I hope that the wind will die down before work, but it’s winter here still so I doubt the wind will stop. But it is bright and sunny out there. We should barely get above freezing today. And I just checked, the wind will be with us until around 7.

Another closing shift tonight, then surprise, an opening shift. The guy I’m closing with tonight, is the co-worker that I’ll be working with tomorrow morning. I was off my game just a little last night, timing wise, so we didn’t get out 3 minutes after we closed. I used just about all the 15 minutes. But we still got out pretty quickly.

Winter truly has its claws into the region. There’s snow expected for Sunday and Monday. But that forecast has been bouncing around. Earlier this week that snow was supposed to be yesterday and today, and we were expecting 5-6 inches. Now it’s less than an inch – if we even get any.

Two days ago, it was 72°.

Today is a high of 33°.

So let’s scream at the top of our lungs: WHAT’S GOING ON?

Yesterday all day, every day all of you for the rest of my life

It’s bright and sunny out there. And Podrick has been mostly good this morning. He’s been exploring the beanbag chair, that Crystal will be talking about in her morning post. Once my brain can log the sound and remember at a moments notice, I’ll be able to sleep through it. Just takes a little while.

While it’s bright out there. We’ll be hitting the high for today around 10 this morning. The temperature will slowly (quickly) drop to put us in the SNOW ZONE. We shouldn’t have accumulation. More rain than snow. Still, I don’t really know how to dress for the day. It’s be a warm spring day, when I get into work, and freezing when I leave.

I forgot to turn on sleep daddy last night. I rolled over sometime this morning and it was quiet. So I hit play on my mask. Nothing. So I hit the play button two or three times, which automagically starts playing the 1 one album I have in Apple Music. I haven’t used Apple Music in over 4 years – shortly after I moved up here, and was locked out of my Google account.

I’ll have to figure out if I can switch the default music player. But it’s Apple, it took years to get to change default mail client, and browser.

So when I woke up and hit play numerous times, I had to move my mask and turn on sleep daddy. I think it helped me go back to sleep for an hour perhaps.

So, with the sun shining, let’s greet the day. Happy Thursday, y’all.

But with all of my tattoos and these songs I like to sing about booze

It’s morning. Podrick has been doing Podrick things for a while this morning. He’s a very bad boy. And it continues for about a 1/2 to 45 minutes. He’s quiet right now, but he’ll start up again soon. He just dragged himself across me.

Crystal ordered some black out curtains for the bedroom. Hopefully if he can’t really see that it’s daylight, he won’t start making noise, or getting into places, loudly, where he’s not supposed to go.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It was my final swing shift for a while, and I’m mostly back on nights. I close a couple of days, and then open Saturday morning again. I don’t mind opening on Saturdays – it’s only like a 7 hour shift.

I have a day off today. I have to wander up to the bank, and get some coin switched to the fancy folding money. We have to drive into SlightlyBiggerTown to pick up a beanbag chair. We should be hitting up the secondhand store, and then grabbing some dinner at Dairy Queen before coming home.

I need more coffee.

It’s Wednesday my dudes.

Yeah, I’m hungover still a long way from sober

Good early morning everyone. I’ve been up on and off since about 4. Podrick was being an ass this morning. So yeah the alarm going off this morning, kinda just annoyed me a little more.

But here we are. The sun is rising, and it’s going to be a nice day out there today. You know, the calm before the actual storm. It was supposed to em snow tomorrow, but they upgraded it to thunder storms. Snow the next day.

Woohoo.

I can’t wait to go back to my normal schedule. I don’t mind random morning shifts, but I’ve had enough fun! It’s a lot slower in the mornings. That’s cool for a while, but then, it’s just slow. I don’t mind slow, but it’s slow. Back at it today. Day off tomorrow. I think we’re heading into SlightlyBiggerTown to pick up a bean bag chair, from the people that just moved out of the unit beside us.

Small world.

I need more coffee.

It’s Tuesday my dudes.

You think you’re such a big shot with that big ten-gallon hat overcompensating, you know what they say about that

Good morning my friends. It’s a new week, and Podrick was mostly good. We (me, probably just me) managed to sleep, and then doze until 6:50, but the cult of Podrick is just too strong. When he thinks it’s time to get up, he’ll pick at you. And pick pick, until you acknowledge him ☝🏽

It was a nice day yesterday. We did a bit of everything, but mostly nothing. And it was glorious. I did laundry, and ignored every single other chore. As the laundry was being processed, I made brunch, and stepped aside for The Beautiful One so she could make French toast.

We consumed.

Sometime in there, I shaved the sides of Crystal’s head with the new clippers that I picked up in SlightlyBiggerTown the previous day. The little rechargeable one that I got for either my birthday or Christmas was very slowly, then quickly dying.

At 4pm, I switched over to Netflix to watch day two of WrestleMania. Our hopes weren’t too high, considering night one. We made jokes throughout night one. The first nights matches just didn’t really catch our attention. The matches were all less than 15 minutes, so I think it was 7 matches in 3ish hours. Not good.

Night two had a lot to prove.

Boy did the first match prove everything and set up the rest of the night. And the rest of the night was awesome. No spoilers here – maybe.

Oba Femi retired Brock Lesnar.

Holy shit.
