There’s a log on the fire and it burns like me for you

Posted on by Shawshank

Is this real life? I’ve been up on and off since about 6ish. Just tossy turny, because I couldn’t breathe through my nose. Lots of allergies in me. Then I was cold on one side but my back was cold. I didn’t want to snuggle Crystal too close, because I know when she’s in bed, she runs warm.

I spent a couple of hours at work, before BossLady came in. She had an appointment first thing. So I was on my own. I made a to do list, and crossed everything off of it. It was about 2 hours of solid work.

At noon, I arrived at home, and we got ready to head to SlightlyBiggerTown. We needed a few things, which we picked up. Crystal hit the jackpot at the second hand store. I even found a book. It’s been a while!

We got home and Crystal started to work on some fabric. I watched tv. Thinking back, I can’t even remember what we watched. After a few hours we had dinner, and I turned on some CSI, while Crystal was working on a pair of pantaloons.

We went to bed, and now here we are. Full day of work today. Back to work! Time to make the donuts. Happy Wednesday!

What I say and I ain’t gonna waste my time sayin’ it all again

Good morning my friends. It’s a bright and sunny morning here in our corner of the world. I’ve been mostly up since about 6:30. I was a little chilly and tried to get as close to Crystal as possible. But it wasn’t my front that was cold, it was my back.

Then the alarm went off.

The coffee has been made.

And is being consumed.

It was a pretty good day yesterday. I played just a little bit of TotK. Then I thought we could have some fun, so I put on Raider of the Lost Ark. I always forget what a good movie it is. After that, Temple of Doom. I always forget what a weak movie that is. I don’t think that there would be the number of Indians Jones movies if that one had been released first.

I made chicken wings for dinner for myself, and spicy chicken sandwiches for Crystal. I have to say that the meal was pretty good. I was full.

So all in all, the lazy day was a good day. Happy Tuesday y’all!!

Just call me angel of the morning, angel just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Good morning my friends. It’s a bright and sunny day out there. You can also feel the heat. There’s no wind out there, so the heat is just sitting there. According to the weather app, it’s supposed to overcast today with a 50% chance of a thunderstorm later on this afternoon. We’ll see if that happens.

I had a pretty good day yesterday. We watched some documentaries, and then I played some TotK. Nothing major. Just playing around. I became a Yoga blademaster yesterday, so there’s that.

After I was finished, I packed up the Switch (I don’t know why I want to call it the Wii). And we made the short drive over to Shady Acres for dinner. I set up the Switch, and Crystal kicked some ass for a little while until dinner was ready. We had a good dinner of beef in gravy, and potatoes. For desert it was angel food cake and fresh berries.

We came home, fed the kitties, and settled in, and we watched Howl’s Moving Castle. I had never seen it before, and I liked it a lot. It was a very cute movie. I liked the animation style.

It’s the last day of the weekend, it’s our lazy day. I don’t plan on getting dressed or actually leaving the Flat today. It should be a really nice relaxing day. We’ll find something to entertain us.

Enjoy your Monday!

How many damn posts will this be?!

Just a short post today. We just got over to my parents place, and Crystal has asked if we could bring over the Switch. Of course!

So when we got there, I unplugged the Chromecast, and plugged in the Switch. Boom! She’s somewhere in Necluda, looking for caves.

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, I managed to beat the Wind Temple, and about a week back, I beat the Lightning Temple. According to all the guides I look at, they say to do the Lightning Temple last. I didn’t do that I beat it second. Lemme tell you, the boss was a challenge.

But I did it, and returned Gerudo town to its former glory. Then I worked on some quests in town. They’re always cute, and relatively quick and easy.

This afternoon, I became a Yiga blademaster. I’m a full fledged member now. The Yiga aren’t the smartest in the land of Hyrule.

Heartbreaker, soul shaker I’ve been told about you

And the lord said, let there be sound… and the talk radio turned on, and the people awoke. We’re awake here at the Flat. The sun is starting to shine. The cats are in their own spaces. Pippin is at the back door, watching her queendom, and Chaucer is on the pirate chest, 1000 yard staring. He’s like me, he needs a couple minutes to wake up. Shortly after he wakes up, he’ll find a nice spot to take a nap.

Yesterday was a blast. I think we hit almost every garage sale in town. Crystal won the TinyTown lottery, and got a few nice sheets, and I think two table cloths to make into cool pants. We also got a baking dish. Ooh! And a great little sewing basket for Crystal to put in all her bits and bobs into. She was also lucky enough to find a pair of Vibrams Five Fingers running shoes – IN HER SIZE!

I didn’t find anything that I just had to have. That’s ok, I wasn’t looking for myself. I was on the lookout for fabric for Crystal. I did find a soft cover New Moon. I had to walk to the car, and check my notes. I did it need the softcover, I need a hardcover. So I left it. I think if I’m going to get another set – it’ll be the white set.

We did find a cookbook that Crystal will probably send down to her mom. It’s a collection of recipes from homemakers clubs in Saskatchewan for the provinces golden jubilee. There’s some scary-ass recipes in there. I called out a couple, and Crystal came over and took a picture, and sent it to her mom. It’s from 1955, and was made to look like a group of women hand wrote it. I think Crystal said lithograph. But I could be wrong.

There’s always room for jello

Mimeograph. That’s what she said.

Well, it’s chore day here. I’ll be starting that in a little while. Just the normal stuff. It shouldn’t take too long to complete. Just a little time consuming. But it’s easy – put stuff in to the washer. Washer, washes, dryer dries. Good times, amirite?
