So wait for the stone on your window, your window

Posted on by Shawshank

I slept all the way until the alarm went off this morning. We’ll, hello there, good morning everyone! I trust that you slept well. I hope that Crystal slept a little bit better than other mornings. She didn’t know what time it was, but I told her when I woke up. I think she felt better when I told her what time it was.

But she’s probably been up since around 5 or 5:30. So there’s that. But some part of me would like to think that she slept in with me.

So it’s Sunday, and that means it’s chore day. I’ll start that in a few hours, so right now it’s just wake up time. Eye focus time. Coffee time.

Last night, we fired up Netflix, and watched The Pale Blue Eye. It was pretty good. I don’t think I’d call it a “gothic horror” like Netflix describes it. It was at most “supernatural mystery”. Christian Bale again does a great job of simply disappearing in the role. I don’t think it was good enough for a full review or anything like that.

Happy Sunday y’all!

Welcome, welcome to Saturday! Both of us were up early, Crystal way longer than me. Finally after me one finger snuggling her, she got up and out of bed. I think I made it another few minutes, then I rolled out of bed with the weirdest song stuck in my head.

Stain glass window candelabra
Eating my ass like a chupacabra
Show me where ya piss from

See, I told ya, weird.

But we’re both up now, with some coffee beside us. I fed the animals, and Chaucer is staring at us. He wants to get on the couch between us. He’s an old man, so he moves slowly, deliberately. He’s a good man.

Not too much planned for today. Later, we’ll go to SlightlyBiggerTown for some fun and games. And maybe lunch. We’ll check out the second hand store. That’ll be the highlight of the day. We both like second hand stores.

Time to greet the day!

Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man

Holy shit, happy Friyay! I awoke quickly at around 5am, but I fell back asleep. The only thing I know for sure was that Pippin was snuggled up to me and wouldn’t move when I was rolling over. She was snuggled so tightly to my stomach. She’s a cutie.

So again, I wake up slightly groggy because the last two hours, it felt like I was in a deep sleep. I dreamed, but can’t remember any. All I can remember is just a jumble of images.

All that stands before me and the weekend, is just one shift at work. BossLady should be in Vegas, and will probably call sometime today, because she didn’t call yesterday. It’s all good.

There’s only one place left to count, and I’ll be taking care of it this afternoon. Then inventory is like 95% done. Not too shabby at all.

But before my eyes can focus, I need another cup of coffee. Happy Friyay everyone! We made it, treat yoself today!

Good morning, mother fuckers. I trust y’all had some sleep and all that happy horseshit!! I think I slept all the way through the night. I don’t think I was up too early, I did sleep lightly this morning, but I still slept. So not too shabby. I’m not used to waking up groggy, it’s a weird feeling.

I was just outside. It’s strangely somewhat warm out there. No wind, just silence. It’s always like that. Sound wise in the morning. I still find it odd to step outside and it’s very quiet out.

But we’re getting closer to the weekend! Tomorrow is date night. Yummy burgers, and literally 3 pounds of fries. But that’s something to look forward to, tomorrow. The coffee is flowing right now, and I’m just trying to keep my eyes focused!

So let’s make the most of Friday-eve, and hopefully the day will just fly by! Yay it’s almost Friyay! But not quite yet. Soon!

Well it was an eventful evening. We were watching FBI, and snuggled together when the strangeness started. The power flickered 5 or 6 times, then it was out for good. We got shoes on and went outside. It was completely dark and silent. A few minutes later, we could hear people’s generators start to kick on.

So we hung out on the couch for another 45 minutes or so watching TikTok, then retired to the bedroom for the evening. Sometime in the night, the power came back on. The fan in the bedroom kicked on, and the tv turned back on. Around 6, I think I got up and shut the alarm off in the phone and turned off the TV.

Shortly after that, the alarm on my phone went off. Which is weird, because (and I checked) I had shut the alarm off.

But here we are. The coffee has been brewed, and the news is on. It’s Wednesday, and we didn’t freeze in the night. I had an ok sleep. Up early, but Crystal was up much earlier.

I just want this day to go quickly. One step closer to the weekend my friends.
