American spirit, the smoke and the taillights I guess that I’m in it for more than just one night

The Beautiful One isn’t feeling well this morning. She sacrificed her well-being to let me sleep in. She had to deal with a hyper-active Podrick, so I could rest. Now it’s my turn to take care of her.

I don’t know when she got out of bed. Even when I woke up, I figured it was about an hour or two earlier than it actually is. I feel like I slept have the morning away. It was a nice surprise when I looked at the only physical clock in the apartment.

Yesterday, was a nice relaxing day. I did the laundry, and made brunch for us (I did find some spicy sliced cheese, so Crystal had a bacon, and cheese bagel), and we played video games all afternoon. We made pork chop tacos last night, and they were so very good. After dinner, we watched RAW, then an episode of Yellowstone, and then a couple of episodes of Vikings.

I’ll take care of The Beautiful One this morning, and for the rest of the day. She let me sleep in, so I’ll shield her from Podrick.

Where is Podrick?

He’s quiet.

Too quiet.

I’ll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas

Podrick was pure Podrick this morning. With that, I also had a very stuffed nose. Plus the bed was very very warm. So now, on my first of two days off, I rolled out of bed at 6:30. Needless to say, I’m really not impressed with Pod this morning.

I’ve been the last two days, enjoying my hyper fixation of the month. I’ve been watching rodeo shorts, ranch, and hat forming shorts on YouTube. It’s neat to watch the bull riders, the roping teams, and the barrel racers. It’s neat to listen to interviews of bull riders describe their injuries. One bull rider actually bought the bull that broke his neck.

So now all I see is country shorts. It’s not a bad thing I think I followed two hat companies, and a couple of rodeo pages. I’ve been enjoying seeing a different side of what usually watch so, it’s pretty good.

But good god, some bulls are freakin huge.

Two days in a row off. RAW tonight, and NXT tomorrow. I just want to relax. I have chores to do today. So they’ll get started a little later, brunch today. Everyone cross your fingers that we still have at least one slice of spicy cheese.

All I really gotta do is live and die

Morning everyone. Yeah, we’re up a little early. Well, I’m up a little early. I’m pretty sure Podrick has be poking Crystal for at least 3 hours this morning. That’s like poking a bear. I feel wicked bad for The Beautiful One. It sucks really a lot when you can’t sleep, and then add the flying tomato into the mix. He was fixated with something he thought was buried somewhere on her nightstand.

I was tired of using one hand to stretch my face so I could partially breathe through my nose, the sleep daddy sounded too loud, and for something that was supposed to be relaxing, sounded like demands this morning. Add that to being too warm, then slightly too cold. It wasn’t a good mix to falling and staying asleep. Besides, I had a 20lbs cat 4WD-ing across my legs. Back and forth, back and forth.

Anyways, I think it’s gonna be a pretty good day today. I believe it supposed to be mostly cold, and slightly windy today. That’s ok. I have a really good parka. And, Crystal got me this awesome Dickie for Christmas. So I’ll be wearing that today. And my Skims. Can’t forget the Skims.

Work all day today. It’ll be a busy day I think I’m pretty sure we have a hockey game some time tonight. I’ll start after we’re closed, but there will be people coming in to get snacks for that. I have to remember to eat today. I’ll have breakfast before I leave for work. But I have to have lunch there. And I also have to remember to bring a pizza home for dinner tonight.

Hopefully, Crystal will be able to relax and possibly nap this afternoon. She’s been the one dealing with Podrick the most. She has way more patience than I ever had. But everyone has limits. It’s a long way away, but she can look forward to going to the thrift store on Tuesday.

Let’s get the day started.

With coffee. Lots of coffee.

You keep trying to love the devil out of me

Hey. It’s afternoon. I had a terrible sleep last night. Terrible. Up early around 3 am with stomach cramps. After a trip to the bathroom, I lightly dozed until 4, when I had to use the bathroom again. The alarm scared me less than an hour later.

Good times.

Got up and stared at the TV for 30 or so minutes, drinking coffee. Then it was time to head to work. Did the environmental stuff, then the opening stuff. We opened three minutes early because a guy can’t read time properly.

The shift was dead. But it started to pick up just before we left. I headed over to Shady Acres to haul in wood pellets, and clean the stove. My father misunderstood my mom when she said shut the stove off, Shawshank will be over after work to clean it, and bring in the pellets. He thought I was just bringing in the pellets.

Now, I get to go over on a day off to clean it. Yay.

Back to work tomorrow for a full day shift. I haven’t eaten lunch but I don’t really care. I’m not hungry. I haven’t really been hungry in weeks. I eat. But when I work, the last thing I want to do is eat.

I’m tired.

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world

So Podrick has been a Podrick this morning.

He’s been annoying The Beautiful One this morning. He’s been digging in her night stand this morning. He’d dig, and she’d pull him out and then he’d walk over us to get to my night table. He’d sit there for like 5.23 seconds, and then he’d be right over digging in Crystal’s night stand. Over and over.

Finally, she drags him out of the bedroom, and quietly closed the door. I managed to doze for another 15 or so minutes, before getting dressed, and leaving the bedroom.

So yeah, Crystal has had a rocky morning. I feel bed for her. And Podrick? Completely oblivious to the carnage that he creates. but he’s been fed, and loved.

He’s just annoying. Especially, in the morning. I think he’s lonely, and his internal clock is nonexistent.

But, it’s gonna be a good day. For both of us. I have work this afternoon. It should hopefully be somewhat bright. I dunno, the sun hasn’t come up yet. I do know, that it’ll be windy, and probably cold. But I’ll layer up, and it’ll be just fine. I’m working all weekend. My weekend will be Monday, and Tuesday. I think.
