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!

And everyone telling you be of good cheer

Good morning my fronds. I’ve been up on and off since probably 5am when Chaucer wanted a kitty rave. So after he was done, I cleaned it up, and looked out the window. There’s a dusting of snow, and you can hear the wind.

I’m gonna need coffee before we leave. In order to time everything right, we’ll probably be leaving around 8:30, that way once we make it to the Paris of the Prairies, the gas station will be open and we’ll be able to get gas.

Weather wise, it doesn’t look bad out there at all, it’s just windy

W-I-N-D-Y

Happy Sunday y’all!!

When we finally kiss goodnight how I’ll hate going out in the storm

I roll over in bed – wide wide WIDE awake. It’s like my body just decided that now would be a good time to wake up. It’s 6:30.

Last night I tried to remind myself to look at the snowfall totals before looking outside. So as my eyes were focussing, I opened my phone, and opened the weather app. I looked. Blinked. I willed myself to focus on the small number. Then it was off to Google to Google a measurement that I haven’t come across this snowy season.

So yeah, nothing has fallen yet. It was supposed to start yesterday afternoon. It just kept getting pushed back. So either we’re going to get dumped on, or nothing. I just don’t know anymore!

So coffee has been made, and I have the local news on, to see what they have to say. Either way, I have no plans to do anything, so let it snow!!

Or not. It’s all good 🙂

It’s looking a lot like Christmas out there. It’s lightly snowing again, and is supposed to snow for the rest of the day. But it’s not Christmas time, it’s Easter. How will the Easter bunny find my place and drop off chocolate for me?

Spoiler alert: he didn’t find me. No chocolate for me today. Just coffee. Which is very yummy today. Soon I’ll start the laundry, and get out there and shovel the walk.

But since it’s Easter, I’ll be heading up to Shady Acres, probably a little earlier than normal, I have to help make homemade pasta. My aunt has requested help so she can bring some home with her.

But before all that, I have chores to do.

CHORES DAY

Happy Easter Sunday everyone!
