Creampuffs and bourbon and the music was louder. My wife was competing in a game of chance

Good morning, happy Sunday everyone! We’re in the middle of the weekend, and it’s an exciting day today. Yep, that’s right. Y’all guessed correctly. It’s Chore Day! It’s time for cleaning, and dusting, and general renewal of the Flat. We’ll be starting that in a few hours. Who’s excited about cleaning? I am!

Yesterday, while I was getting some BotW, I got a phone call from my dad, saying that there were some cows birthing, and to be ready in about a half hour. About a half hoursish later, we were in the way to a farm. Within minutes of arriving, we’re standing around a brand new baby cow. They so cute! I had no idea that when they came out, they’re like 140lbs.

Wow!

After wandering around the farm. We took off for SlightlyBiggerTown for groceries, and weed. We stopped and grabbed some lunch, then went shopping. Both Crystal and I forgot about grabbing her ID to get into the weed store, so I went in solo to pick up some carts for our vapes, and a big bag o’ weed. After that, we hit the road back home.

We pretty much took turns playing BotW, until mid evening. It’s such a cool game, and I get overwhelmed in it pretty easy. I have to start a session with one or two objectives in my mind to what I want to do in it. I have a couple things I want to take care of this today when I play. It’s fun! It’s a really cool game.

Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

Well well well. It’s Sunday morning, and when the alarm went off, for me the bed was the perfect temperature. I didn’t want to get up. But I’m sure that Crystal had been up at that point, for at least an hour or so. But that’s just a guess.

So I walk out to the living room, and there’s a little bit of chaos. Pippin was a Mountain climber last night. She got to where she’s not supposed to have been. After that was cleaned up, the coffee was started, and Dateline has been started.

Yesterday, it wasn’t actually too bad at work. I did my own thing for a few hours, helped BossLady out for about 30-40 minutes, and then went back to what I was doing for the rest of the shift. She seemed fine, and I was tentatively cracking jokes with her, so there’s that.

But today is Sunday, chores will be started shortly. But before chores, I’m gonna need some more coffee, and time to focus the ol eyes. But I think it’ll be a good morning. Heck boys, it’s a lot warmer out there than yesterday at this time. It’s only -16 this morning, and that’s without the wind. I prefer not to look at the windchill. Like Crystal would say It’s like spring out there, where’s my Birkenstocks?

Ok, maybe she wouldn’t say that. But who knows, she totes might!

I think I’m awake. I think I was up shortly before the alarm went off. But I quickly fell back asleep when Crystal pulled me into a snuggle. I fell quickly back to sleep. A deep sleep. It was almost like a full nights sleep in about 10-15 minutes.

And now here we are. Awake. Coffee has been brewed, and is currently being consumed. It’s chore day. I’ll be starting that in an hour or so. Usually we go up to Shady Acres for dinner, but since we hung out pretty much all day yesterday, I’m going to text mom in a few hours, and politely decline for this evening.

Yesterday was a pretty good day, we drove to NextProvinceOver to check out an RV show. There’s some pretty good RVs out there, some bigger than The Flat. That’s crazy! We wandered around for about an hour, then went for lunch.

Following lunch, we stopped at Walmart. Neither is or my mom needed a lot of stuff. We did a circle of the store – and walked out with like 4 items. We quickly stopped at a second hand store that was pretty sad, so we hopped back in the truck, and drove home.

We had some left over pizza for dinner, watched some shows, and then went to bed. I can’t speak for Crystal, but I was out like a light.

But first, more coffee.

First things first, (I’m a realist) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Crystal. Happy birthday to you!

We were both up wicked early. The kitties were snuggling and all that, and I just couldn’t fall back asleep. We snuggled for a little bit, but then I couldn’t anymore, so I got up and start the day.

It’s Sunday, chore day. I’ll be starting it in a couple of hours, after my eyes begin to focus. Due to my poor planning, and Amazon trying it’s hardest to get one gift here on time, sadly Crystal doesn’t have anything to open this morning. There’s a chance that there will be a gift arriving tomorrow, and I think a couple by Valentine’s Day. But nothing this morning. Once again, like every year it got away from me.

But it’s time for coffee and Dateline. Happy Sunday y’all!

This is a song for the ladies, but fella’s, listen closely.

Oh, well hello there, my friends. When did you get here? The Flat is officially awake. I’ve been up since around 6:30ish, and Crystal suspects that she’s been up since around 5:30. It wasn’t my fault this time. Chaucer was snuggled up very close to her. And he’s like a tiny furry easy bake oven.

So we were up at the normal time yesterday to be ready to leave around 10 to drive out to the farm with my dad to repair the heater core, or blower. Whatever. Ha! I got a text about 9:30 saying that he was going to take his work truck out so we could follow. We pulled up to the corner just as he was getting there.

We made it out to the farm and pulled into the garage. Immediately he got to work. I was wearing an old hoodie expecting to help, but as we saw it truly was a one person job. In about 20 minutes he was done. The windshield wash was dethawed and emptied out. The Hot Mess Express has warm silent heat again!

At that point only about an hour had passed, so I asked what Crystal is most afraid about – do you want to go for a drive? I could see her internally screaming! So we drove to a new SlightlyBiggerTown. We grabbed some bread, liverwurst, and a few other things, brought it home, and….

Had the yummiest lunch that we’ve had in a couple of years.

But today is Sunday. Fun day. Chore day. I’ll be starting those in about an hour. But first I have to disturb the tiny cat that’s asleep on my lap. I need more coffee.
