Pretend you’re not a mess, be the happy family in the front pew

Podrick got me up a little early this morning. He had the straw out of one of Crystal’s water jugs. I took it, but I know if I tried to go back to bed, he would escalate. It’s was 6:30. I had already been up once, maybe 20 minutes earlier.

So I’m up. I closed the door to the bedroom with Crystal, and Pippin in it. Hopefully Crystal will be able to sleep for a little while longer. She needs the sleep more than me. Podrick is being OK right now. He’s just following me around because he wants to be fed, but since Pippin eats in the bedroom, he has to wait.

I have to go over to Shady Acres today. I have to clean the pellet stove, and haul in probably 10 (oh god, I hope it’s just 10) bags of pellets. I’ll do that after my chores, and brunch here. So probably by 1 or so.

Two days off to do as little as possible. Think it’ll happen? Coffee first.

Who will you call up when the plane starts to go down?

We climbed into bed last night, kisses were exchanged. Snuggles started. I turned on my sleepy time video, and got comfortable. Within, probably just a couple of minutes, I was out. Dead to the world.

That hasn’t happened in a long time.

I stayed asleep until Podrick started his shenanigans this morning. He was digging on Crystal’s side of the bed, namely on her nightstand. She removed him from the bedroom, and took him out to the living room. I think I slept another half hour?

Work was pretty slow last night. We were supposed to have two deliveries. They never showed up. Like I said, three of us, no deliveries. I wasn’t feeling too great yesterday, so I talked to the co-workers and said if they didn’t mind, I’d leave around 7:30. I did most of the closing tasks for them, and took off at 7:30.

I came home, and made some dinner for myself, and we hunkered down to watch some TV. We’re just about all the way through the 4th season of Yellowstone, so we watched a couple of episodes. From there we watched some Who’s line, and had our evening snack. Then move on to the top paragraph.

Back to work this afternoon. Everyone’s working for the weekend. Only a couple more shifts, and weekend off. Happy Thursday y’all.

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you

Sleep came quick last night, but I was up and down a lot. Instead of waking Crystal every time I wanted to know what time it was, I just looked at my phone. The first time I woke up it was 12:40, then 3:44, and then the alarm scared the shit out of me.

Alarm goes off.

I get up.

I turn the coffee pot on, do my bathroom stuff, and then turn on the TV. What’s this? No Dateline? Bombings? Oh shit, what a way to start the new year. Oh fuck my life, it’s Trump attacking a sovereign nation? Isn’t that an act of war?

Wait, wait, wait. He kidnapped the president of the country, and his wife?

This isn’t gonna be good.

I do my morning stuff, and when it’s time, I kiss The Beautiful One good bye, and minutes later, I’m at work. We cleaned for about 5 hours in preparation for the BossLady to come back to work on Monday. We now leave the rest of the cleaning list to the second shift crew tonight, and the same crew for tomorrow.

I’m tired, and my back hurts. But the shift went quickly. That’s a good thing.

Fish and chips for dinner.

House chores tomorrow. I still have half an episode of SmackDown! to watch.

Get your booty on the floor tonight

Morning everyone.

Podrick was being Podrick this morning, and going where he’s not supposed to be going. I’m not even mad anymore. It’s simply a way of life now.

So we’re up, and everything is picked up. I’ll pack away the clock once I start getting the laundry ready. It’ll go in the closet next to the box of Warhammer figures.

Work was surprisingly light yesterday. There was never a point during the day that we were overwhelmed. We got a lot of product onto the floor, we did some cleaning, and took care of the customers as they came in. It was possibly the easiest Sunday that I’ve worked in a very long time.

Still no tracking update on the Christmas package. It’s supposed to be delivered today, but who knows. Hopefully, it’ll get delivered so I can give Crystal her presents.

Laundry day today. Work tomorrow. Let’s just concentrate on today.

You my lil’ suga, I’m yo’ little chulo

One day, Podrick will let me sleep in, like he used too. He got two good morning from me with full body and face pets, which he loved, then he did what he did to get booted out of the bedroom.

So we’re all awake now. Both have been fed, and The Beautiful One and I have coffee. I slept like the dead, but I think about half hour to 45 minutes more would have been very beneficial. But there we are, awake, and watching Dateline, until I find something better to watch.

Work wasn’t too bad. It was busy enough to keep us from sitting around. And it made the time pass relatively quickly. Before I knew it, it was time to get the hell out of there. So I came back to the Flat, and cooked lunch. I watched Crystal play Skyrim for a while then I put on Friday’s Smackdown. After that, we made dinner – nachos, fuckin yum!

We watched the NXT PLE – Halloween Havoc. They put on a really good show. We were both Sports Entertained. Except Ricky Saints. He’s a bag of douche. But that’s beside the point. Was a great show.

Chores soon. Shady Acres to surprise my mom with her birthday present a couple of days early, but I’m working on her birthday. So to day it is!
