Shine it up, rev it up, and let it run, yeah

What can I write about when the last time I wrote here mere hours ago. Nothing too much has changed. I managed to sleep in until 6:10 today. And on a day off too! Podrick, really just stated being Podrick. Nothing more. And he wasn’t really going crazy from what my sleepy brain could process.

We watched night one of WrestleMania yesterday afternoon. I was sports entertained, but the internet on Reddit is complaining. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them happy about something. the matches (according to the angry boys on Reddit) were really short, and there was no backstage shenanigans that usually happen. It was really just short matches, that lead into commercials.

I know, I know! Commercials on a pay-per-view? That’s crazy talk. Commercials aren’t on PPVs. They’re supposed to be more special than the shows on TV. I can understand the Netflix commercials because, well, internationally, the home of the WWE is Netflix. But we were getting all sorts of commercials. Better than the US, and from what I’ve read, the UK – who basically watched the Hulk Hogan documentary 3.5 minutes at a time over the course of the 4 hour show.

The matches like I said, weren’t bad. They were just wicked short. I think only 2 made it over the 14 minute mark. The women’s matches hovered around 6-9 minutes each. That’s not right, because shit man, the women division and Carmelo Hayes have been carrying both RAW and SmackDown! on their backs for a year now.

We’ll see what night 2 is like. Hopefully Oba Femi wins, and I’d like Trick to win tonight. I hope Pank, and Roman decide that they’re both too old, and retire before their match – because the writers and producers in the back would probably all stroke out.

More coffee please.

Yeah, you better get to livin’ it up before you wake up dead

Holy shit, I almost forgot to post! I don’t want to lose my streak! But here I am, mid-evening, and I’m struggling to think of something to say.

I worked early this morning, and it was quiet, slowly picking up the closer we got to being able to leave. From work, I picked up The Beautiful One, and we drove to SlightlyBiggerTown to restock supplies, grab a late lunch, and sped home to unpack everything, and get ready to watch WrestleMania.

It was very sports entertaining.

But now, I’m just relaxing, and mentally preparing for the bed to envelope and nourish me.

Podrick was a very, very good boy this morning. I only had to whisper-yell at him. I got out of bed, checked the time on the stove, and went back to bed. He was picking at the auto feeder. I let him, it was set to go off four minutes later.

I slept in today. But of course, Crystal was wide awake. One day, I’d like to roll out of bed, and look over, and Crystal is deep asleep. One day, I’d really like to wake up to that.

A boy can dream.

It’s snowing out there. Podrick is in the front window, watching big flakes fall from the sky. Pippin is in the bedroom having her breakfast. She gets some quiet time without him in her face.

Work wasn’t too bad, with all the ice. But we had a delivery, and 80% of that got put out. So we had that going for us. But for tue most part, minus one big rush, it was pretty quiet. Nothing two people couldn’t handle. So we got out pretty much on time. Tonight will be the same, except I have a different co-worker tonight. He’s a little scatter brained. But I’ll move him along like I do every time I work with him.

Tomorrow – opening the shop, then off to SlightlyBiggerTown for the supply run. Then back home to feast, and watch WrestleMania. That’s the weekend.

I would really just like it to stop snowing, though.

And boy, let me tell you, she was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen in a pair of boots

It’s kind of sleeting out there. I could hear it against the window as I opened the back door to take this mornings picture. It doesn’t look nice out there. But then again I think the forecast was a little wrong. I don’t think we’re gonna get the 5-6 inches of snow. It’ll just be a nasty day.

We’re up early. Podrick. I’d just about fall asleep, and head bang something that sounded like it was right next to me, then a scramble of claws agains linoleum, and running. Always running. Nothing too much was disturbed. I hid the actual Switch controllers, it was just the hand grips that he knocked down.

Back to work for the next couple of days. Closing today and tomorrow, then opening on Saturday. It’ll be a busy Saturday. Opening at work, then it’s off to SlightlyBiggerTown for supplies. Then it’s night one of WrestleMania. That’ll start at 4, I think. Sunday is ours as well. My dad has his second chemo appointment on Monday, so we won’t be going over, so they can have an early evening, as my mom says it’s starting to get harder to wake up at 4.

It’s time to get a refill on my coffee. All of our roads right now are in the “travel not recommended” category. We’ll still be busy at work, so I need all the fuel I can get. Happy Thursday, all you party people!

Hang tight honey got a pocket full of money and I’m headed straight home to you, woo

Yep, it’s morning again, and Podrick is doing his best to test our patience this morning. He wants all the attention, but he has no idea how to actually ask for it, so he acts out. Yet, every time he actually jumps up for cuddles (which only happens when he’s half asleep) we both stop what we’re doing and give him all the loves.

So we’re up about an hour early because, Podrick couldn’t leave either the window screen, or chasing Pippen, who just wanted to snuggle us in the bed this morning. So yeah, here we are. The sun is rising, and it’s gonna be a gray and windy day for most of it. Checking the weather app, and snow is still in the forecast. Only 1 day instead of 2, but the forecast is talking 5-6 inches.

I have to remember to call for a follow up doctor’s appointment today. I also have to shave my head and trim up my beard. I’ll be shaving crystals head as well probably this afternoon, or if I’m feeling full of energy, sometime this morning. I haven’t decided yet.

We didn’t do too much yesterday. We played video games, and had buffalo chicken wontons for lunch. Then we played more video games for a while, before heading to the second hand store to check out what they have. We walked out with some tank tops for Crystal, and I found the whole collection of Harry Potter novels.

Back to the house for more video games. I played all morning, so I passed the controller to The Beautiful One to play for a little while. I watched and surfed the information super highway for a while.

Dinner was very tasty: cheeseburgers and fries. They were very good. The grocery store in SlightlyBiggerTown has some really good fresh burgers. They’re so much better than the frozen ones. After dinner we watched NXT. They consistently have great shows, and we walk out of it fully sports entertained.

Time to greet the day.
