Every silver lining has a touch of grey

Good morning everyone! Welcome to the first Monday of 2021! I’ve been up on and off since 7, when my alarm would normally go off. I woke up because I though I again slept through the alarm. Breaking News; I didn’t. I kind of slept and didn’t sleep until my alarm scared the crap out of me a half hour later.

Today will be an easy day. In about a half hour/45 minutes I’ll pop into work to try to finish up our inventory system, and then since my mom is still sleeping, I’ll have to come back to the house to get the shopping list and her debit card to do a quick little bit of shopping in SlightlyBiggerTown. At the same time I’ll hit up the second hand store, get lunch, and I’ll check out the weed store that just opened.

My boss looking at me like I had three heads when I said I’d be going into work this morning. She said why? We’re open Tuesday. I told her that there will be no distractions if I’m there by myself on Monday, and it’ll take me only a couple of hours to do the work I want to do. Whereas if I’m trying to do this Tuesday, I’ll be distracted by other stuff you want me to do. She said ok.

So yeah that’s going to be my Monday. What are your plans for the day?

Tie me up like I’m surprised

I’ve been up for 15 minutes. I dragged myself out of bed this morning. I almost fell back asleep after my alarm went off, but I willed myself to roll out of bed.

I get up, get dressed, and brushed my teeth. I stumble out into the kitchen to make coffee. I just get the TV turned on, and my gramma comes out to ask what day it is. She really has no concept of time anymore. 5 minutes to her can be two hours. She loses more days, because of it.

Shawshank, what day is it? Is it Sunday?”

Yes gramma, it’s Sunday.

Every Sunday, she has a pill to take. Every Sunday, she makes a big deal out of taking this pill, as if to say look at me, I’m doing what I’ve been told. The dementia, and Alzheimer’s have really turned her back into a child. It’s hard sometimes. She really know how to push my moms buttons.

Coffee, be right back. I need this liquid gold right now.

But this blog isn’t about to be all depressy pants or anything. We positive here. Today I have some chores to do. I have to clean the pellet stove, and there should be a book club sometime today, and just plan bubblegum and happiness!

Happy Sunday! It’s gonna be a pretty good day! Enjoy today everyone! Let’s do this!!

If I can’t have you right now – I’ll wait dear

Good morning, happy Saturday! At least I think it’s Saturday. When you don’t leave the house, the days kinda bleed together. I’m pretty sure it’s Saturday today.

Coffee is brewing. I wonder what today will bring. I don’t know if any movies will play today, as we finished Endgame yesterday. My dad really enjoyed both of the movies. It was fun watching him watch them for the first time. I forgot how long the second was, and 90% of what went on in it too.

So if it’s a quiet day, I think I’ll spend it reading or something. And making some posts.

Happy lazy Saturday everyone 🙂

With fingernails that shine like justice

Well I’ll address the elephant in the room, happy New Years! Let’s all say goodbye to the dumpster fire that was 2020, and say a hearty hello to 2021. I was impressed with myself. I actually stayed up and made it to midnight.

I’m now off until Tuesday. I may go in Monday morning for a few hours to finish inputting stuff to the live inventory. It’ll be the only day that I can go in and have it be completely quiet, with no distractions.

I watched Infinity War with my dad last night. He’d never seen it before. Not a lot of emotion when Thor arrived in Wakonda, but was rather annoyed them at it just faded to black and ran the credits. We’ll probably be watching Endgame sometime today.

But for right now, the coffee is ready. Happy Friyay, and happy new year y’all!

Take the world in a love embrace

Good morning all. New Years Eve. The precipice if a new year. The hope of a better year than the last 365 days. Make a wish, only accept positive vibes. New year, new me. All that good stuff.

Only positive vibes.

I have lots of books, some place warm to sleep. And technology to talk to my beautiful wife. This year, the border will open and we’ll be reunited.

2021 will be a better year. Someday, we’ll find an old jacket in the back of the closet, and put our hand in a pocket. We’ll pull out an old mask, and laugh, and what a strange year. Then we’ll finish getting dressed, and as we’re walking out the door, reach for our trusty machete, and go out to forage for food, and kill some zombies. But we’ll always think that 2020 was the strangest year.

I love you very much.
