Yes sir officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie – I put that envelope under that garbage

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Or as my wife calls it, happy Thanksgiving. I slept like the dead last night.

Construction started on the bed frame last night. More probably tonight for a little bit. There’s going to be a flight of stairs in the side so Crystal can climb up into it.

Work was a lot better yesterday. I don’t know why, somethings just seemed to click. Designers are needy people. I technically got paid yesterday, even though it doesn’t go through until Monday. It’s a pretty nice cheque, I’ll be able to pay my gramma back for her purchasing the wood for my bed frame.

Two more shifts. Today and tomorrow, and I’ll have a 3 day weekend. Happy Thursday everyone. Binge a good show, and binge on some good take away this evening!

Throw your love around – love me, love me

Good morning party people. It’s Wednesday and it’s time to get up and greet the day. Coffee is brewing, and I’ll need it. I was tossy and turny all night. And to cap it all off at 12:35 my brain said ok, you have anxiety about your new job, here let’s throw police coming to the door to really mess with you. Up, wide awake for about 5 minutes. Then it was just weird dreams all night. Until the last dream of the night:

I was living in an apartment. The whole place was having a party, complete with Chinese food. I knew some of the people. It was a mix of people from Wyatt, and from when I was in cadets. I snuck away to the “common library” and found Crystal a coffee mug, and a copy – hardcover of Breaking Dawn Pt. 1. I didn’t even know that they split up the book like they did the movies. Who knows if they actually did in real life.

Yesterday just as I get to work, my phone rings. I don’t recognize the number but I answer it anyways. It’s one of the ladies from the second hand store asking if i can help unload their trailer. I tell her no I can’t, because I got a job and I’m at work. She sounded really annoyed that I couldn’t come. I apologized, and hung up. They had 5 months to ask for help. It’s just my luck that they finally call on my second week of work.

Anyways, happy Wednesday. May you day be full of caffeine, laughs, and a considerable lack of idiots.

I feel it in my fingers – I feel it in my toes

I woke up 1 minute before my alarm, and thought to myself, nice, I still got a half hour.

Narrator: he did not have a half hour.

Yesterday I told my mom that the bank of Canada will be removing Legal Tender status on the larger bills. Large bills like the $500 and $1000. She’s like this one? As she shows me a $1000 bill.

It is pretty impressive, to say the least.

I don’t think I have anything else to talk about this morning. I’m still mostly asleep. Happy Tuesday y’all!

I hear her voice in the morning hour – she calls to me

Good sleep. Wake up to a different coffee pot. Couldn’t get it to work for 20 minutes. Why doesn’t it just have a frigging on/off button? It has 2 sliders, and 3 buttons. I shouldn’t need a PhD to turned the damned thing on.

Excuse me I need to get some coffee.

I think I remember having weird dreams. Not weird bad, but I do remember at one point in my dreams thinking I should remember this to tell Crystal later. But alas, earwax, I can’t remember them at all.

Today, I have a couple things to do, I gotta relocate the “Romance Rack” – the Nora Roberts bookcase back to its rightful place in the living room. Then we’re gonna head to SlightlyBiggerTown for some basic groceries.

Happy Monday y’all

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad – so I had one more for desert

It’s Sunday. I allowed myself to sleep in until 7:30 – I maybe could’ve slept longer. It was a good sleep. I needed it.

Yesterday was a good day. After a morning of internally freaking out, because I was solo in the store for the first time. At 1 minute before the store opened, I got a call. “ I want to pick up my chair, because I’m afraid with COVID, you guys will have to close soon. I’m an hour away, I’m leaving now.”

Cue the mini freak out.

After a phone call to the boss, (who I didn’t want to call) the chair was found and the customer left very happy. I could breathe again.

I put on Lite Rock 105 – New England’s Christmas station, and I even enjoyed all the commercials for places that I can remember. Oh oh oh O’Reily: Auto parts! Hahaha

The rest of the day was quiet. Had a couple customers come in and buy some little things. I got a lot of cleaning done, while cursing how slobby women can be. I did the dishes, cleaned the toilets, vacuumed, etc. I cleaned up emails – and got it down to 8 unread ones.

Finally it was time to go. But I couldn’t go home right away I had to go and pick up a free king size mattress from the warehouse that the boss was giving me. I had talked to my dad the night before about helping me build a bed frame for it.

The rest of the family had to go into BiggerTown, to hit up the Walmart for inexpensive cat supplies, and my grandmother surprised me with 90% of the wood that I’m going to need to build the frame, so when I get my first pay check, most of it will probably go to her.

So when they got back my dad sat down and started drawing up the blueprints for the bed. The basic bed frame should be done sometime this week. We’ll be working on it after dinner this week. I’m just happy I’ll be off a day bed. I’ll be able to stretch out.

Back to my coffee, and Assassin’s Creed on TV. Happy Sunday y’all!
