Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

You see that picture? That’s karma. That’s a new employee. 2nd day. Idiot. I’m not fond of them. But that’s besides the point. Earlier, before this, they told me that there’s a customer outside that needs help. Mind you it’s snowing, and a little windy. I’ve been outside on and off for about 7 hours at this point, and they’ve helped one customer.

“Shawshank, there’s a customer outside, they need some help.”

“Ok, what’s the problem? Go out and help them.”

“But I’m cooold.”

I went out and help the customer, came back in, and told BossLady. She’s not impressed.

So later on, I’m outside again (because I said that I’d stay an extra two hours to cover a call out – due to the shitty weather, helping a customer, the co-worker gets in her car, cranks some sort of rap or something, and the next thing I see is their car in the ditch.

Just deserts 🙂

Then shortly before it’s time to go, I’m outside helping a customer again, I see my mom drive by. I wave, she honks the horn. I think nothing of it. I’m driving home, and I see a bright blue tractor pulling out a silver truck that looks like my mom’s. I drive to a place that I can pull over and wait. Then I think that that couldn’t be my mom’s truck. So I drive past Shady Acres, and she’s not home yet. Oh shit.

I drive out back onto the highway, where she passes me. I turn around and follow her back to Shady Acres to see if she’s ok. I carry her groceries in. And thankfully, she’s ok and the truck is ok.

This snow can stop anytime. I have to shovel soon. But probably tomorrow. I worked a 10 hour shift today. I’m tired.

Well, it is snowing out there. It hasn’t really accumulated too much around the flat, because the wind has never died down. I’m monitoring it, cause I’ll be trekking up to Shady Acres a couple of times today. Once, probably around noon, and then probably later in the day just to clean up what’s accumulated. My dad has a medical appointment on Tuesday, so he needs to have the driveway cleaned, so he can make it to the truck.

Since I’m supposed to be pushing a lot of snow, I decided to do the laundry yesterday. You know, one less chore today, because of the added snow shovelling chore today.

So it’s just the small chores to do this morning. Most importantly, there’s brunch to be made today. And we have to make waffles as well. So it’ll still be a busy morning. But an easy, busy morning.

But the snow is falling. And the wind is blowing. I think it’s going to be a cozy day, aside from the snow shovelling. We’ll be screwed if the wind decides to just stop, but for now, for the most part, Mother Nature is shovelling most of it. I can’t wait to see the snow drifts at work tomorrow. Hopefully the plow comes through a couple times today, and through the night. But we’ll see.

I need another cup of covfefe. But I have a tiny cat on me. Well, she’ll have to get up, and I think that she’s ok with that.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)

So, good morning. It’s about that time again, isn’t it. It’s dark, and like the weather app said, it snowed overnight. I shoveled the linai, and it was big fluffy snow, which is really nice. It’s light, and easy to shovel. I could hear the sounds of the plows moving around, so that’s a good thing.

Not to sound like a broken record, but I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. At 2:30, I woke up and needed to use the bathroom. My head was in a weird position, so it was very stiff. I hobbled to the bathroom, did my business, and crawled into bed.

I felt/heard Chaucer jump down off the bed, where he proceeded to sing the song of his people. He stopped that very quickly (some say too quickly), and then started to play with a rattle toy!! Thankfully, he either played for only a few seconds, or I fell asleep and he played for a few minutes.

I guess we’ll never know the true answer.

But we’re awake, and we have coffee. So let’s slowly get the day started. The weekend is almost here!
