Birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid

THE POWER CAME BACK!

Yep, I was over at Shady Acres, we had just been told that the town was going to shut the water off so I was filling buckets so we’d be able to flush the toilets.

Thankfully that didn’t happen, because the power came back on around 4:30. The heat came back on, and I went about the house grabbing electronics and plugged them all in.

So when I got back to The Flat, I turned everything back on, and reset the alarm clock, and the stove clock.

So since we “lost” a day because of no power, today will be chore day, with the typical included brunch!

But first, coffee!

Good morning everyone! It’s a somewhat bright and warmish day outside. I have all the curtains open, letting some much needed vitamin d into the flat. According to my weather app, it’s supposed to be snowing right now. SNOW. Wtf?

But currently it’s not. Just sunny with a slight breeze. It’s also supposed to rain/snow this afternoon as well.

Food shopping went without issue yesterday. It was a really nice drive to SlightlyBiggerTown. I grabbed some yummy food for the next weekish or so.

Last night I made fried rice and beef and broccoli for dinner. And it wasn’t just because I was lit, but it was really good. I have enough for a lunch this week some time.

I’ll be heading up to Shady Acres this afternoon to celebrate my grammas 90th birthday tonight. That’ll be fun! I have her card, and her present of chocolates here. I also bought, when I was in BiggerTown a couple of weeks back a family sized corn flakes – because for some reason there’s a shortage here. I know it’s weird. My mom will for some reason wrap that for her as well.

But I really should get started on the chores of the day. But I think I’ll start when I’m finished my coffee. Have a great Sunday y’all.

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.

See people rocking, hear people chanting feeling hot, hot, hot

I think the snow is done for a while. I can’t find any actual measurements, because we’re so small, but I’d guess probably 15ish centimetres over the last 2 days. I dunno, I’m still getting used to the metric system. I do know I don’t like the spread out over so many days. Damn just dump two feet in 24 hours, and call it a day!

It’s a grey day here. Bright but grey. There’s not too much wind, and I think the snow is just falling ever so slowly. Like so slowly that it’s not even piping up to say it’s actually snowing. I got up this morning and shovelled the side walk. I’m not gonna miss that in a couple of months.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. I was given a task the day before, and I worked on that for the few hours I was at work. Before leaving work on Friday, BossLady said she might be in town Saturday morning, because she was going to celebrate some friends birthdays. At the time she said that. The weather app said it was going to start snowing around 7.

Thankfully, it didn’t start snowing until later, and she didn’t show up at work. I just wanted a day to breathe, and thankfully I got that, and could move stuff around, on my own time and let ideas pop in and to try different things.

I did that. I think it turned out pretty good. The last co-worker I had hated whatever I did, so that trained me not to do anything out on the showroom floor. Like I told BossLady, I really tried to make sure everything either matched or complemented everything else. I’m proud of what I did. I think I did pretty good.

Ok I’ve written a novel here, time to refill the coffee, and prep the chores. Happy Sunday, all you great people!

It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face. Losing control and running all over the place.

My first thought when my alarm went off this morning – why am I getting up, when my alarm isn’t even going off. Oh, there it is.

Yep, I thought I was being ripped from my bed alarmless. Why would I get out of bed to start the day without the alarm going off!?

So yeah, I had a bit of a giggle at that before I threw my legs over the side of the bed. I’m happy to hear that the coffee is just about done brewing as I go do my business in the bathroom.

It’s chore day today. I’ll start that in about an hour or so. I want to mop the floor today, so I’ll probably do that after brunch.

But right now, I’m listening to Keith Morrison and his glorious voice on Dateline on NBC News Now. So relaxing. Ha!

Happy Sunday everyone. Have fun!
