Ain’t got no picture postcards, ain’t got no souvenirs – my baby, she don’t know me when I’m thinking bout those years

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning. Er, afternoon. I’ve been up since 4:57, three minutes before my alarm went off. I don’t know why my body and mind don’t trust the alarm clock that I’ve had work flawlessly for 5 years. I’m either up a couple of hours early and sleep lightly, up minutes before, or the alarm clock scares the hell out of me when it goes off.

Weird.

Anyways, I had to open the shop this morning. As I’m getting the paperwork done and counting the cash, car pulls up, and the driver comes to the door. Pulls on it, and stares inside. I quietly knock on the window and point to the sign. He looks at it, and looks at me, confused. I open the door and say we don’t open for a half hour. He asks if he can pay at the pump. I shake my head and say no. He stares at me. I say we open in a half hour, smile, close, and lock the door. He sat in the parking lot until we were open.

Back home now. Pork bites in the oven, and wrestling to watch when Crystal is done kicking ass in Skyrim. It’s gonna be a relaxing do nothing day. Tomorrow; chores, and probably climbing up on a roof to clean the stove pipe.

And we’ll celebrate my mother’s birthday tomorrow!

It’s a thief in the night to come and grab you

It’s been a day already. I’m 100% sure Podrick is truly testing me on if I need actual sleep headphones to block him out as much as possible. He was going at it last night, and again this morning. I picked up Pippin’s bed twice, the same with the toilet paper.

Other than a cough, Podrick is pretty much back to normal. 7 days of pent up energy is bubbling over the last day or two. And he eats like a wildebeest. I don’t think I’ve ever had a cat so food motivated before. That’s a good and a bad thing. He’s currently locked in the bedroom, because he has a good 7-8 pounds on Pippin, and he loves to tackle her.

It’s chore day here. After brunch I’ll throw some clothes on and deliver some dishes to my parents, along with their mail, and the town newsletter. Mom said she’s doing a lot better, but my dad, s a pretty pretty princess that just sits there sick. I’m sure he’s getting better too

But it’s also chore day here, so in a couple of hours I’ll be starting the laundry. It’ll be a nice relaxing day here. Which is what we both need. Happy Monday!

Just try your best try everything you can

Good morning my friends. I had an ok sleep. The bed was the most perfect temperature. I only had to get up once in the night. Twice, if you count me kicking the kitten out of the bedroom. and we’ve awoken to a gray morning. I think there may be a chance for rain possibly today.

Thankfully it’s not calling for rain today, since we’re heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies in a couple of hours. So it’ll be a nice drive there, and back. And just think, we’ll be coming back with Subway for lunch. We really just have to remember to find a good snack for dinner, that way we’re not having two large meals.

I don’t even really want to talk about work yesterday so I really won’t. It was terrible. And sucked majorly. So with that said, I don’t need to say anything else on the subject, so here’s a picture of Podrick requesting to be drawn like a French girl.

And I’m too clever, and then I’m too fucking dumb

I’m awake. I’ve been mostly awake since about 5. Podrick was playing this morning, and at one point, I had to go to the bathroom, and had to move his brick back out of the bathroom, and back to the laundry area. It’s just the timend year where sometimes it’s just chilly. Even with snuggly blankets.

He was just active this morning with his soda cap. Right out in front of the closed bedroom door. I opened the door, blindly felt for the cap, and closed the door again. Good times lol.

Back to work this afternoon. I think it’s gonna be a pretty good day today. The sun is shining, and doesn’t seem too breezy out there. 2 shifts and the weekend is mine! Viva la weekend!

Lockup Library: Persona 5: The Phantom X

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s been a pretty good, relaxing Canada Day. We didn’t do much more than try to wrangle Podrick from being a complete ass to Pippin. But after he fell asleep passed out, I figured it was time to try Persona 5: The Phantom X. Because if it’s like Persona 5, you just can’t stop when you want and log out. No, you can leave when the game tells you that you can.

I’m really enjoying it. There’s some call backs to persona 5, but it stands entirely on its own. Yeah, it’s a gacha game, but from what I’ve read, you don’t need to actually pay to play. We’ll find out. The highest price I’ve seen for something in game, was $24.49. But I just went to look again, and it’s higher than that.

But, so far so good. I’m enjoying myself!
