Good morning. Happy Monday. It’s a holiday here north of the wall. It’s family day today. I’ll be hanging out at The Flat today. It’s Monday, that means a day off as per usual.

I slept like the dead. Only getting up once at around 4 to use the facilities. Then back into bed. The bed was the perfect temperature.

I don’t have anything planned for today. The new episode of Critical Role that should drop sometime in the early afternoon, and it’s become habit that I watch it as soon as it drops. Mostly because I’m not really doing anything at that point.

I have been watching Campaign 2. I’m enjoying it. You’ll laugh, you’ll probably cry, but it’s very entertaining. Who would have thought what watching a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors playing D&D would be so entertaining.

Definitely not me. That’s for sure.

Let’s greet the day now. Happy Monday everyone.

Good morning, it’s Sunday and you know what that means: it’s chore day! That’ll get started in a couple hours or so.

It was warmish yesterday, then it slowly got colder as it rained – slowly changing over to snow. We didn’t get a lot but it’s a layer of ice, covered by snow.

But it’s nice and warm here at The Flat. And I have coffee. So let’s slowly wake up, and have some. I think it’s a pretty good way to start the day.

Good morning! So is SATURYAY a thing? Is that what the young kids are calling it? Anyways, here we are, Saturday!

I don’t have a lot planned. Laze around in the morning til about 10-10:30, then off to slightly bigger town for some groceries. Then back to the flat. It’ll take me longer to get there than for me to do what I need to do.

A couple of days ago I was getting something from the grocery store, and I spotted a little spindly plant. I saw what it was, and bought it.

It’s a little tiny coffee plant! I thought it was fitting that he be planted in a coffee container.

In 4-6 years it should produce coffee beans.

That’s pretty neat huh?

Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake

Good morning! It’s Friyay! For the sake of moving the story along, we’ll say that I slept through the night without getting up twice because my knee locked up, and of course, having to pee.

It’s wicked windy out there today. Winds of about 50kph. It may not be that fast when you convert to mph, but I’m in the prairies, so that mean flat flat, flaaaaat land, with nothing to break up the wind or slow it down.

After work, I have to walk up to Shady Acres to drop off some mail, and to pick up the truck, because I’ll be going for some groceries tomorrow morning. Not a lot, but enough to make it another couple of weeks before the next pay cheque. I just think it’ll be nice to get out of TinyTown for a couple of hours.

But right now, coffee and some news. Happy Friyay everyone!

Extreme cold. Yep that’s the truth. It’s currently -29c and -38c with the wind. Oh, and we’re expecting more snow sometime today. Fun.

I slept almost all the way through the night. Only getting up once to go to the the bathroom. I think I was cold in the night as I tried to drag 60lbs worth of weighted blankets around. The bed look like a war zone! I’ll have to fix that tonight.

I woke up this morning believing that it’s Friday. I have to force myself to drop that idea, or I’m going to be very disappointed tomorrow morning.

Oh, and congrats to the Canadian Woman’s hockey team that defeated the Americans at the Olympics. Woohoo!
