Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Posted on by Shawshank

Yep, it snowed yesterday, and it stuck. According to one of my weather apps, it’s not supposed to snow today. That’s a good thing, as our sale starts today. We need a good group to come through, to put BossLadys mind at ease.

I slept ok yesterday. While I was up about five minutes before the alarm went off, Crystal on the other hand, has been up for at least 3 hours. That makes me sad, because I can’t fix that. She deserves some awesome sleeps. Instead, she’s up when it’s still dark out.

It was a busy day at work. Just scrambling to finish everything up and prepare for today. I think we’re pretty much ready for whatever is thrown at us. Either way the sale starts today.

I don’t have too much else. Let’s greet the day, and kick it right in the dick hole. Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here. Let’s hope it comes quickly!

Jesus, I need more coffee.

He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?

Taken roughly at the same time, 24 hours apart.

Good morning my snowy friends. It’s been blowing and snowing pretty much the whole night. It doesn’t look like a lot fell in the night. I know a lot has. It’s the wind, it’s drifting all over the place. It’ll be fun to shovel later. The Poi Pit has completely disappeared. There’s still about 12 hours of the storm to go through.

BossLady is on vacation. And she was asking for updates yesterday. I explained what was going on and how much we were expected. I had been planning on showing up to work this morning, but also planned on if the boss wanted the store closed.

Notice was put.

So we went out for dinner last night. The night cook asked if we wanted the “usual”. I said know and told her what my mom said. When we were over last Sunday. Mom was saying how the night cook told her that she liked it when they come because they always order something different, unlike me, who just orders the same thing every week.

I told her this and told her I want a menu, and I demand satisfaction. We all laughed, and I ordered something completely different for my usual. It was very good. She’s an excellent cook, and once again, we totally enjoyed our time there. The food was excellent.

After dinner we came home, and I fired up the Switch, changed users and hopped into my account to play some Breath of the Wild. I didn’t really have a plan, but Crystal wanted to help get me a tower and a shrine. I always happen to find myself exploring, in the dark, and some of the times under a blood moon. Hey, it’s to keep it exciting.

After that tower and the shrine, I wanted to explore a little more. I wandered around and found myself in the Lost Woods. I got lost once or twice, then BOOM! Master Sword. Long story short, I couldn’t raise it. I need more heart containers. But I know where it is. I got one or two shrines after that, and called it a night.

I’m getting there. Slowly but surely.

Maybe we’ll play today.

Because, we’re not going anywhere today.

Because of the snow.

This is a post about the snow, remember? 😜

When friends come to call it’s the hap-happiest season of all

That’s right. It snowed this morning. Just under 2.5 inches of the white stuff, and I’m not talking cocaine. I am literally really getting tired of the snow. And winter.

But here we are.

Crystal isn’t feeling well this morning. She’s declined coffee and is dozing on the couch next to me. I hope she gets feeling better soon.

I don’t have a lot to talk about this morning. I did play a few hours of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I really like it. It’s the first Zelda game that I’ve really been able to get into.

I’m going to take care of Crystal. I loves her so much. We’ll get her 100% as soon as possible.

This is a song for the ladies, but fella’s, listen closely.

Oh, well hello there, my friends. When did you get here? The Flat is officially awake. I’ve been up since around 6:30ish, and Crystal suspects that she’s been up since around 5:30. It wasn’t my fault this time. Chaucer was snuggled up very close to her. And he’s like a tiny furry easy bake oven.

So we were up at the normal time yesterday to be ready to leave around 10 to drive out to the farm with my dad to repair the heater core, or blower. Whatever. Ha! I got a text about 9:30 saying that he was going to take his work truck out so we could follow. We pulled up to the corner just as he was getting there.

We made it out to the farm and pulled into the garage. Immediately he got to work. I was wearing an old hoodie expecting to help, but as we saw it truly was a one person job. In about 20 minutes he was done. The windshield wash was dethawed and emptied out. The Hot Mess Express has warm silent heat again!

At that point only about an hour had passed, so I asked what Crystal is most afraid about – do you want to go for a drive? I could see her internally screaming! So we drove to a new SlightlyBiggerTown. We grabbed some bread, liverwurst, and a few other things, brought it home, and….

Had the yummiest lunch that we’ve had in a couple of years.

But today is Sunday. Fun day. Chore day. I’ll be starting those in about an hour. But first I have to disturb the tiny cat that’s asleep on my lap. I need more coffee.

She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul

Good morning my friends. Yesterday around 1:30 it’s started. The snow. The snow fell until about midnight or so. In total, about 11.4 cm of snow fell, with another 18mm is expected today. I shoveled the lanai, and the concrete pad. Next time I go out, I’ll do the rest of the sidewalk down to the road. I can hear the town machines starting to clean up the roads.

Today is supposed be our Christmas party at BossLadies house. We’ll probably still go. But I’m not a 100% on that. We’ll see I guess. I’m sure they’ll be late getting into work. It’s all good. As you can tell, I’m not too excited about the dinner. It’s outside of our regular habits. It’s not routine.

What is routine is a good cup of coffee. A damn fine cup of coffee. It’s warm and tasty. And the news is on.

Let’s get going!
