About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts maybe below the cockles

Good morning fellow people. It’s a bright and sunny day here. Hopefully more snow will melt. I’m always surprised when it’s this bright out. I always think that I forgot to shut off a light. But that’s not the case.

I have a nighttime checklist to make sure everything is shut off.

Only a couple more shifts and then it’s the weekend. NewNewGirl asked if I wanted this weekend off. I said yes. I’ll be covering the next two Saturdays as she’ll be on vacation in Florida.

Monday I made some curry, and made a sampler for my mom to try it. She picked it up yesterday, and she said it was really good and she liked it. She also said gramma and my dad wouldn’t like it, but she did. Next time I make some, I’ll make a little for her.

But that’s in the future. In the present, I has coffee. I hope y’all have a lit Thursday.

Good morning! Hap hap happy Wednesday. Half way through the week. Almost there! We’re almost to Friyay.

We can make it!

I again, was out like a light. I even managed to sleep ALL the way through the night. I didn’t get up once. It was amazeballs.

I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee, and watching the news. It’s grey out there. With a dusting of snow from the night before. Hopefully it warms up enough for more snow to melt.

We’ve had a taste of spring, now the people north of the Wall, demand it.

Let’s keep the big thaw happening!

Good morning everyone! I slept like the dead. Crystal was really tired so we cut our video chat short last night. After getting of the call, we chatted for another 10 minutes or so, then I brushed my teeth and climbed into bed.

I was out.

I think I got up once, but I was out until the alarm went off. I was more tired then I thought. I didn’t get out of bed until the alarm went off. Even then the sudden rising beeps confused me.

Coffee is brewing, and I’m ready to greet the day. Let’s do this!

So how ‘bout them Oscar’s? Was it the slap Heard- round the world? Possibly. Chris Rock took it like a man, and was 100% professional, and carried on. Will Smith, however, looked like a crazy person. Surreal.

The weekends been pretty nice. Nice drive to CaptialCity on Saturday. Got just a couple of items. Sunday, was chore day. Chores got done. Then it was off to Shady Acres for my dads birthday dinner.

He loved his birthday present of 22lbs of peanut butter. I told him if he can eat all of it in 6 months, I’d get him another tub.

Before I left, I set up the second chromecast for him in his bedroom. Then I gave him a quick tutorial on how to use Netflix. He was blown away by the monthly fee, and that you can watch as much as you want for the monthly fee. We’ll see if he actually uses Netflix. Again, the wrong time to show him, as seeding will happen soon, and he won’t have the energy to watch anything.

But today, nothing really planned. There’s nothing I need to leave the Flat for, so I’ll just be hanging out here.

But first, coffee.

Um… mixed boneless pickles? You got me!

The road trip was a success yesterday. We went to value village, Home Depot, Michaels, and of course Walmart. I got a couple of items, nothing much, and then we turned the truck back to TinyTown.

I had a huge lunch, and didn’t make dinner until shortly after 7 I believe. I just relaxed on the couch and chatted with Crystal. After our video chat, I bushed my teeth and climbed into bed.

I passed out.

I passed out, and the alarm this morning startled me.

Nothing much planned today. Just the usual chores to do. I’ll be stripping the bed shortly to wash the sheets. Maybe I’ll put on the sheets that my mom got me last year. They aren’t fleece, just regular ones. We’ll see. I haven’t decided yet.

But for right now, just some coffee and news. Happy Sunday everyone.
