Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning, happy hump day! It’s the middle of another short week. You can make the last couple of shifts, I know you can! Remember, when you leave, heroes don’t look at the explosion behind them when they walk away.

Coffee is brewing, and it’s pitch black outside. Last night when I got home, I set up the chromecast. I’ll probably be the only one that uses it. That’s ok, I don’t have to watch movies now, on my phone in my room. I can stay out in the living room and be a people person!

Work again today. Yesterday we got the warehouse organized, and I can get everything in inventory. Today, is our staff meeting about what we’re going to try and accomplish in 2021. Our calendars are wiped clean so we can plan.

But for now – coffee. Happy Wednesday everyone!

Maybe someday the mountain will get them – but the law never will

Happy Tuesday, my lovelies. I was up a little early – 5:47 thinking I slept through my alarm. When I determined that I hadn’t, I rolled over and went back to sleep until my alarm scared me awake. But like my dad said yesterday, “I woke up on the right side of the dirt, I’m doing something right.”

Yesterday was a good day. A good day, but a really long day. 5 hours of travel time in a truck with my family is a long time. We were joking around and I said I’d just watch a movie, I was put up front and my grandmother in the back, so the movie went out the window, and I chit chatted with my dad on the way down.

When we got to BigCity, we went to the mall so my mom could have some jewellery inspected for insurance, I shopped a little, found a book and got a Chromecast. Now, once it’s set up, I don’t have to watch Netflix on my phone I can watch it on an actual TV.

From there it was a trip to a craft shop for my mom, and then a bookstore for me. After a quick 5ish minutes standing in line outside, I was in. At first I was really overwhelmed. But after a minute or two, I found my groove. 45 minutes later, I found a stack of books (see my last post), and left. A quick stop at Home Depot for some light bulbs, and we were on our way home.

After a quick dinner, video chatted with Crystal until it was time for her to shower. We texted back and forth until it was time for bed.

And now, here I am! With coffee. Today, we should be cleaning the warehouse out. A warehouse with no heat. It shouldn’t take too long, and we’ll be back in the shop. I’ll probably be working on the inventory system. Fun fun! Have a great Tuesday you guys!

Good morning, hap hap happy Monday y’all! We lived through the weekend again!

I don’t really have a lot to say this morning. I’m up early, yes. Because if I don’t, I have no time to quietly wake up and then it’s just bad all around. So I got up a little early. That way I’m not in the way as people are trying to get up and to their morning routines.

So yeah, my coffee is just about brewed, and I’m up and dressed – I didn’t even forget my mask. I’m already wearing it. I’ll remind everyone once they’re up.

My mom last night, said we’d make time for me at a book store. That’s what I’m excited about. So some running around for them, and a book store for me.

Ok, coffee is done and I have to head over to the bathroom. Have a super Monday everyone!!

And stumbled downstairs to meet the day

Good morning everyone! And by everyone I mean the 1 or 2 people that actually stop scrolling long enough to read this. How’re you doing this fine dark Sunday morning? It snowed here a little last night. Maybe a half an inch. I can’t really tell. I’ll shovel later.

Coffee is brewing, and I’m dressed. I have to do my laundry today, as the plan tomorrow is to go to BigCity. I have a couple of things on my mental list to get. I should probably write them down. Of course the last time I wrote stuff down, I neglected to actually look at the the list, and stuff forgot things.

All right in the world for a couple of minutes – have a fresh cup of coffee sitting in front of me.

So anyways. Have a great Sunday everyone. Enjoy grocery shopping, or whatever else you have planned. Enjoy the day!

Well I hear you in the morning – and I hear you at nightfall

Good morning everyone! Who has two thumbs, and forgot to shut off his alarm? This guy right here! Up as if I was going into work today. So the coffee is brewing, and I’m up, and dressed. I’m ready to greet the day.

It’s Boxing Day today. The day the rich people give their servants boxes of left over food and gifts I believe. It’s weird. I’ve always kind of explained it like this is Canada’s version of Black Friday. However things have changed since I’ve been gone, and Canada does the whole Black Friday thing now.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a good Friyay. Here at Shady Acres, it was pretty ok. I got a couple shirts, a toque, sheets for the bed, and a toque. No books! I was very surprised. Monday, we’re supposed to be heading into BiggerTown. I’m going to lobby to go into BigCity. For one simple thing:

I want 30 minutes of unfettered access to a book store. Yes, 30 minutes. Not too long, not too short. Just enough to choose one or two books that have been on my list for a while. Then we can do anything they want. That’s all I’m going to ask for.

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

But right now, coffee. There’s a Christmas movie on TV, but I’m not really paying attention to it. Justice League is up next. Then Wonder Woman. The funny thing? I bought my dad Avengers: Endgame, thinking he’d seen Infinity War. He hadn’t. So when we go into BiggerTown, or BigCity, I’m going to get it for him. He’s never seen Thor’s entrance to Wakonda. Blows my mind!

I have no idea what’s going on today. But for now, shhh, let Shady Acres sleep. Happy Saturday y’all.
