Magic, madness, heaven, sin

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s Tuesday. Yay. Only four more days until the weekend. You can make it. Excuse me for a second, I need to make some coffee. While I do that, practice your “this is gonna suck” smile. Get a pocket mirror. Practice. I’ll be right back.

I’m back. How’s that smile coming? Good, keep practicing. What’s the temp out there, you ask? Well, snuggle up! It’s currently -3c. And it feels like -7c out there. Yeah and the friggin birds are chirping out there.

I get to clean the basement this week, I’m sure I’ll have it done in a couple of hours. I’ve already told my dad I wouldn’t throw anything out unless he tells me too. That includes the bookcase full of VHS tapes, and that Sony MAVICA.

Got that smile ready? Let’s see it!

Perfect.

(How many teeth does she have jammed into her head?)

Baby, the best part of me is you

Shady Acres is asleep for right now. I’m sure when my dad wakes up, we’ll be doing his honey do list. There’s only a few more things to do on it, so that’s a good thing.

It’s grey, windy and cold. It’s supposed to get wicked cold tonight. I’ll be closing my window almost all the way tonight, I put an extra blanket on last night. I’m not used to this cold. I’m sitting here, with numb toes, cold hands, and a frozen nose. If I was a smart man, I should’ve bought fall/winter clothes when I first got down here, but I didn’t. So I’m starting to pay for it. As a last resort, I have a sweater that I can put on if needed.

What am I going to do when it gets even colder? We’ll find out!

And I really miss Crystal. On days like this we’d be curled up on the couch watching movies and drinking tea. It’s harder on the grey days. We both feel terribly alone. I try really hard not to think about stuff like this, because then I’d have to explain to my mom why I’m crying on her couch. I put on my smile and say I’m ok. I just keep looking out the window like I’m expecting Crystal to pull up and honk the horn. Each night I fall asleep with the dream of pulling up to her campground spot and her running toward me. I miss her so so much 😢

And I know she misses me just as much. I just love her more than anything in the whole world.

But still I’m just keeping it real still

Good morning! It’s a little crisp out there this morning. It’s labour day, and my dad is waiting for a part that he can’t get until tomorrow, so he’s home. I’m going to assume that we’ll finish off his list of stuff to do, but after his afternoon nap. So it’s most of the day wasted, waiting.

But I have coffee now, and that is a good thing for sure. Other than the chores later today, not too much going on. I’m up, dressed, and my bed is made. Ready to go hahaha.

I was telling Crystal last night, that it was deadly quiet outside, other than the wind. It was like being in a zombie movie. TinyTown rolls up the sidewalks at 6pm on the dot. On Sunday’s, on a long weekend, nothing is open. It was creepy and very very quiet.

So since nothings happening, I suggest you grab your favourite book and hunker down for a little. Relax, y’all deserve it!

Everyday I’m discovering something brand new

Good morning y’all! It’s a grey blustery day here in TinyTown. There’s wind advisories, and I believe Monday into Tuesday, there’s a frost advisory. Yes according to my weather app, TinyTown will be going below freezing over night. I think this winter will be the game of wether or not I can still handle cold winters. It’ll be the good ol ‘will I die or just freeze’. Lol

Only have a couple of things that I have to take care of today. Finish cleaning the chimney and heater vents. Oh, and I need to learn me some German as well. I’m currently in #3, I just want to stay in the top 10. So I can advance to the next league.

But right now, I have coffee. Coffee is good. I’ve also found the hallmark channel, and I’m currently enjoying “Flowershop Mystery: Dearly Depotted”. Brooke Shields is a terrible actress, but I can’t stop watching the show.

Happy Sunday!

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich

I was starting to get a little frustrated while doing the Acc. Case section of my German language classes on Duolingo, so I figured that I’d skip (for a little while), and move on to the Food section.

Why yes, yes it is. I’m finding this section a lot easier to figure out and apply.

I would liek some beer please!

I’m having fun again in the classes. The last section I just felt like I was slogging through the course, hoping that I’d finish it. I’d open Duolingo up each morning. Try the course, fail, and end up just practicing for a half hour and closing it.
