The king and his men stole the queen from her bed

Posted on by Shawshank

Welp, here we are again. Up in the dark. I actually got up at 6:49. I really had to pee, but I was determined to go back to sleep. I did my thing, and crawled back into bed for the 10 minutes. I think I managed to get back to sleep.

Then the alarm went off.

Crystal got up about a minute or two before the alarm went off, so she did what she needed to do, then the alarm went off, and I heard the lights come on in the kitchen, and the switch to the coffee pot was clicked. So I got up.

Got dressed.

Here we are.

Nothing on deck for today, just the chores. Which I’ll start in a little bit. Since it’s still ass fuckingly cold out – -44°F with the wind (it’s warmer than yesterday morning!), I’ll be starting the truck, and taking it for a drive. Plus, one of the only things we forgot yesterday when we were getting groceries, was the litter. I’ll be stoping at work to grab some.

Since I work tomorrow, it’ll be the classic combination of chores and brunch day! Woohoo! Like I said up there, I’ll start that soon. But first, coffee and contemplation.

Happy Sunday/fun day everyone. I hope you’re warm wherever you are.

The morning came very very early this morning. At one point I thought I heard Chaucer getting sick. I yelled out, and immediately fell back to sleep. I’m a terrible kitty dad. I think I got up in the night to go to the bathroom, but I’m not too sure. Maybe. Maybe not.

It’s a mystery.

But we’re all up now. Chaucer is on Crystal’s blanket, which he’s kind of taken over. Pippin just jumped up and is totally comfortable on my lap. It’s been colder her, and she’s always trying to jump and snuggle in my lap.

It’s not that I had a terrible sleep, it just was broken up m, by waking up, and all that jazz. I was a little tossy turny. I don’t think I was too warm, just up pretty early, and just dozed mostly. I think I’m gonna try and possibly nap this afternoon. I’m of a certain age now. I guess we nap now.

But first, coffee.

Hip-hip-hooray, for Christmas vacation

Hey hey people out in the wild interwebs. It’s another day, and if you see the tags associated with this post you’ll be saying “That Shawshanknis an idiot, or he’s not fully awake yet, because he’s using tags for the day before. That’s just not right. That boys not right.” Well, you’re correct. I’ve used the tags for Sunday. But we had to go out yesterday, and also bake, so I figured I would do the chores today.

So that’s what’s going to happen. It’s chore day here. In a man hour or so, I’ll be firing up the ol washer and dryer. Then I have to figure out what the heck to cook for dinner. Maybe it’s because I’m just awoken, but I have no ideas yet. We’ll figure it out.

Last night I had my staff Christmas party. It was just a small thing, BossLady had a couple of games to play, and everyone brought food. I brought the famous pumpkin chocolate chip cake, which, by the way, everyone just loved. I won a couple of the games, and won some coffee mugs, and some scratch tickets. I may or may not have won $10. I’ll take all the tickets into work and see if they were a winner or not. It was a fun time. Everyone left laughing and joking around.

As soon as I got up this morning, Pippin was requesting a shoulder ride. So she rode around on my shoulder as I got the coffee prepared, and ride on my shoulder back to the couch where she jumped off, and immediately wandered over and got on my lap, much to the dismay of Chaucer.

She’s silly, and very snuggly this morning. She’s in for a surprise when I need to get up to get more coffee. I’ll hold off as long as possible. She looks so comfortable. Happy Monday my friends. It’s the start of a nice week. Let’s have a great day!

Update: OMG my guys, I just remembered we’re having brunch today! Woot! Woot! La Push baby, La Push!

“It’s Sunday, it’s brunch day. Are you ready for a piece of bacon?” – Crystal to Chaucer. Just minutes ago.

The coffee has finished brewing, and Chaucer is in between us, and snuggly and purry. It’s Sunday. And all the light in the world is gone only blackness. Blackness and snow. That is an our life now. Winter is here.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. We got up and did our morning thing, like you do. Coffee, and Dateline. I got up and cleaned off the Hot Mess Express, since I didn’t drive it to work on Friday. I wanted to clean it off before date night. From there, we hopped into my mom’s truck and headed off in an easterly direction to SlightlyBiggerTown.

Shopping went very well. We got what was on the list, and a couple of items that I forgot to put on the list. It was busy. A little busier than normal. When we were finished, we roll up to a check out. No one is there, but the light is on. This is normal. The cashier is usually a couple lanes down, normally bagging. So we get all the product on the belt and someone comes over and tells us that the cashier was there but forgot to shut off her light, and that she would be over when she got her line down.

No problems. Were patient.

After a couple of minutes, I think the manager came over to check us out. We got everything bagged, and headed on our merry way. We hit up the dollar store, and then the pharmacy. After those to places, we popped over to the weed superstore and grabbed a little something something.

We came home and I dropped off mom’s truck and walked back for a very quick lunch. After lunch I got a turn on the switch. Well not a turn, I asked if I could play and an enthusiastic yes from Crystal. I’ve been all work and no play during the week so it was nice to settle down and play.

I played before and after dinner. No Man’s Sky is great, but is very slow. Usually after about an hour and a half of playing, that’s when actual stuff starts to happen. And true to that, I slowly started to move the main story line forward. Then you notice that it’s 9pm. So I logged off and made some hot chocolate for the both of us.

Holy cow, I’m talkative today. Happy Sunday, let’s kick some chores in the balls and claim the day!

Another dark morning. Coffee is brewing, and I’m struggling to shake the cobwebs from my head. It was a pretty good sleep. I’m still tired though. I don’t know if I’ll ever not be tired, but here we are. Good morning my friends, welcome to Sunday!

I’m pretty sure I was asleep before my head hit the pillow. The last thing that I remember is calling for Chaucer, who was singing the song of this people. I think I was still awake when he finally jumped up onto the bed. I don’t think I was awake when he finally got comfortable.

We’ll never know. Chaucer doesn’t speak English.

But here we are. When I’m finished with this post I’ll be getting up and doing laundry. We’ll probably have three loads this morning. I have to wash the sweaters that I wore all last week. Other than that, it’s a typical Sunday, which one difference: I go back to work tomorrow. The days of having three day weekends are over!

That’s ok. A normal schedule is just fine with me. I just gotta get used to it. Once I am, we’ll be right as rain.

Ok, let’s get comfy for a bit. Wake up for a little while, then it’s time for chores. Need a little more coffee in the system first. Plus Chaucer is on my lap.

Happy Sunday friends!
