Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven

Good sunny morning. It’s breezy out there, but bright and sunny. There were big storms that came through here last night, or early this morning. The power surged, and that led to the northern lights light that I have in the bedroom to turn on, wake us up, and leave us totally confused.

The thunder and the booms woke us up, but after we knew what they were put us back to sleep just a quickly as they woke us up. It’s been a while since I’ve fallen asleep with the help of a storm. I don’t know if the storm was lighting up the room or if it was just the boom boom boom.

Either way, I passed right out.

The yard sale went pretty good I believe. Mom sold a lot of her stuff, and each item she sold had a story behind it. We did the yard sale for her so, I’m glad that she did very well. The stuff to haul back was a fraction of what I hauled down from their place.

We didn’t do too badly either. I sold some car wash tokens, and Crystal sold some of her genie pants. We sold other misc. items. It was a good couple of hours as well. We both got slightly burned from the sun, but it was worth it. We did good, and we were packed up probably before 1. I’m sure my mom slept like a rock last night.

Today is a pretty lazy day. I got chores to do, then we’re heading out to the restaurant, for Father’s Day. I think this is the first time that my dad will be going out for dinner since he got sick. The cook is very excited to see him.

Happy Sunday everyone. Happy Father’s Day out there to anyone that reads this.

And I’m a gentleman so without a pause I brought her a case of Claws

I think the wind has finally died down to a controllable breeze. Right now, at least. Good Sunday morning my friends. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing.

The coffee has finished brewing, and of course, Dateline is on. You know what that means, right? We’ve come to the ass-end of the weekend, and it’s chore day here. Later on, I’ll be doing some lawn work over at my parents place. I’ll have to take some allergy pills before that.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. We drove to SlightlyBiggerTown, and split off in to two separate teams. Me to the cell phone place, and Crystal to the second hand store.

After what felt like 2 hours, we finally walked out of the store. I’m now the owner of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The main picture of this post is the first photo on the new phone. I think it looks pretty good.

From there, we hit the bargain store, the pharmacy (I had to pick up a prescription for my mom.), and then it was time to get out of dodge. With a quick stop at Subway.

I dropped Crystal off at home, and dropped the truck and prescription off, and walked home. We had an amazing lunch, and I got all the apps to start downloading. Crystal played her game until it was dinner time.

After dinner, we started the rewatch of Outer Range. The second season dropped last week, so before starting the new season, we need to refresh our memories of the show. It’s just as good as I remember it.

Back to work tomorrow. Early shift.

Hopefully the wind stays down.

Good Sunday morning, on this second day of Pride month. How’s everyone doing? Settling in alright? I hope so. We hit the bed last night, and after some ahem, activities, we both passed out. Well, I did. I assume that the Crystal did as well.

I don’t think I moved more than 2 or 3 times. The bed was my prison, and let me tell you that the bed wouldn’t let me move. I was in 100% comfort. I heard the alarm, and I really didn’t want to move, let alone get out of bed.

So comfortable.

And now, here we are, in the world of the living. It’s mostly overcast. But the wind has finally stopped. Just a bit of a breeze this morning.

Yesterday was a really nice day. I walked up to Shady Acres to grab the truck. From there, we went to SlightlyBiggerTown for some groceries, makeup, weed, and some rather large sandwiches from the local Subway. I dropped off the truck, and we ate some lunch. I watched some TV, then passed the control over to Crystal so she can play her new video game for a few hours.

Dinner was made, baths were had, and there was snuggling on the couch. Tonight, we’ll head over to Shady Acres for my birthday dinner, and present. It’s back to work tomorrow. Happy Chore Day everyone. I hope all y’all have a good day.

Good sunny morning. The birds are singing, and both the cats have made their way on to the back door table. They’re in a giant sunbeam, and they are loving every minute of it.

The coffee is flowing, and we’ve both been awake since before the alarm went off. But the bed was so comfortable. We reluctantly got out of bed. Besides, we both needed to use the bathroom.

So yesterday, I was the adult in the building. I opened the store. Just a little hiccup with the opening, but with a quick text to the boss, I got the store open. After the first hour or so, the nerves disappeared, and the day got underway.

The day was actually a little slow, for a Saturday. I gave the two new guys their positions for the day. The Saturday new guy only works Saturdays, so he’d just be outside customer service. Current new guy, who is register trained with me. We ran the store. Well for the most part, I was the register jockey. He did get time on the register, but I was the majority of the register jockey.

By six, it was time to close. I worked on that, and when it came to 6:15, I couldn’t handle them watching me at that point, so I sent them home. I only had another 5-10 minutes of work, which got done.

Home.

Crystal made an AWESOME dinner. Pasta and sauce, garlic bread, and a giant garlic sausage. It was very very tasty, and I was stuffed by the end of it.

After dinner, Crystal wanted to take her dreads out, and needed my help. So of course I’d help her. Earlier in the week, she was listening to her music, and sent me a text saying that we needed to have a rematch of Grease.

So of course I found it on Paramount right away, and we sat down to remove hair, and watch Grease. It was as good as ever, and we throughly enjoyed it.

It’s bright and sunny. The birds are singing outside, and both cats are on the little table, looking outside. Staring directly into the sunrise. They are totally happy. It’s Sunday, and there’s no wind out there, just sun.

I slept like the dead. I think if I didn’t have the alarm set, I think I’d still be sleeping right now. I had some strange dreams. Nothing too crazy( but I think all the shows that we watched yesterday totally contributed to my dreams. I don’t remember them, I just feel that they were strange.

The shows we watched yesterday included: a couple of episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then a couple of episodes of The X-Files, and then during dinner, it was an episode of Last Week Tonight.

It was the perfect storm of strangeness.

Dinner was two giant plates of nachos. The restaurant wasn’t open, due to some scheduling problems. And the nachos were huge. We ate our fill, and were couch locked for the rest of the night.

Rewinding a little, we drove to SlightlyBiggerTown in the morning. It was a little drizzly, and windy. But we made it and grabbed the food that we need for the next couple of weeks, hit up the pharmacy, and eventually made it to the local dispensary.

Crystal’s vape battery died less than a week after we bought it. So we were going to replace it, when Crystal asked if she could get me the vape box battery mod thing that I’d been looking at for a couple of weeks for an early birthday present. So that’s what we did.

I think that it was a pretty good Saturday. We made it home around the usual time, and then we feasted on our Subway sandwiches. It was a good day. a very good day. Def in the top ten of Saturdays w/ chores that I’ve had in a while. Of course now it’s Sunday, and the real chores are waiting to happen. That’ll be in a few hours. But first coffee.
