And the days go by, like a strand in the wind

Good morning!! Happy Friday! We’re almost there! From what I can tell, a pretty big storm blew through here while I slept last night. I had to cut a leaf off of mr banana. But otherwise we made it through.

Other than getting up once or twice in the night I slept like a log. I believe Pippin slept beside me most of the night. And this morning before the alarm went off, she was under the covers with me curled up.

She’s eaten now and again is curled up in my lap, purring.

Only today and a short shift stands between me and the weekend. I got Crystal’s care package of wonderfullness yesterday, and it included a painting of a building here in town. After dinner, I took it over and knocked on the door of the people that own it.

I explained who I am and told them that my wife was up here in December and fell in love with the building and painted it for them. She was so happy to get the painting, and said next time she’s here to come over and she’ll give us a tour.

She’s a very nice lady. And I think that Crystal made her day.

But now I have to mainline some coffee and wake up. Yay Friday!

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Good morning. It’s gonna be a hot one out there today. I know this, because it’s already a warm morning out.

Remind me later to grab the wasp spray from work. I have a bit of a problem going on outside my back door. Yesterday, there was one or two angrily buzzing out there. Now there’s about 6 of the little fuckers swarming around. I don’t want Pippin or I to be stung.

Yesterday was to be expected work wise. It was a hectic morning, but it got better towards the afternoon. By the end of the day, it truly was the end of the day.

But now it’s coffee time! We’re almost to the weekend, we can do it!

Happy Thursday y’all 🙂

It’s bright, and sunny, and supposed to be warm outside today. Finally, I’m wearing shorts first thing. I’ll just have to remember to turn the fans on today when I leave for work.

Good morning, happy Wednesday!

I slept like a log, except when I was waking up to go to the bathroom. Each time, Pippin was playing with her laser. Never even heard her! That’s awesome!

Right now, coffee and trying to focus my eyes. Let’s get the day started!

Get out from that kitchen, and rattle those pots and pans

Good morning everyone. I trust all of my 2 or 3 readers had a great sleep. I had a pretty good one. I fell asleep to the sounds of nature. Namely thunder and lightning. It was loud enough to be heard over the fans in the flat.

It’s a gray morning here, and there’s possible thunderstorms this afternoon. But that’s ok, as all the people tell me, we need the moisture. I’m pretty sure I don’t need it, but the farms and people like that probably could use some.

Just drinking some freshly brewed coffee, watching the local news, and listing to the birds outside singing the music of their people. Sounds like the start of a pretty good morning if you ask me.

Also, the new alarm clock went off when it was expected. I just have to adjust the volume. It was a teensy bit loud. But it worked. That’s all that matters.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It’s just another manic Monday

I slept in! You heard that right. I managed to make it to 7:22. Listen, that’s big for me. Even bigger for Pippin. She was curled up next to me.

I woke up and it’s gray out. We’re expecting some rain, maybe even a thunder storm. We’ll see.

Yesterday was overwhelmingly hot. I decided that I’d do the chores today. Present me, is kind of annoyed at past me for pushing all the chores on to future me, but I totally understand. It was too hot to do anything yesterday.

So in an hour or so, I’ll start the laundry and do the rest of my chores.

Just another manic Monday!

But first confefe!
