Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s a gray morning out there today. Good morning, happy Saturday! All that stands before me and the weekend, it’s just a short shifty shift today. Should be easy. Hopefully, it’ll go nice and quickly.

If I’m doing my math correctly, this is my 800th post in a row. Eight. Hundred. That’s a lot of you ask me. I don’t think I’ve ever done some for 800 days. In. A. Row. That’s pretty impressive to me. Here’s to another 800 posts!

Coffee has been brewed, and is being consumed. I think I slept pretty ok. I fell asleep pretty quickly, but I feel like I was tossy turny. And I’m pretty stuffed up.

Dateline is on the TV this morning. Curtesy of NBC News Now on YouTube. It’s nice on Saturdays, it’s a marathon of Dateline.

We went out to one of the local restaurants for dinner last night. It’s a nice change, and they make some kick ass burgers. So good burgers, and along with that, they give you a butt load of fries as well. We had some really yummy burgers, and came back to the Flat.

But I’m happy it’s the weekend. Bring it on!!

Well you’re the real tough cookie with a long history

Good morning everyone who stumbles upon my rantings. It’s a grayish day, but let me tell you the sunrise was epic on this Friyay morning. You know what they say. It looked like the sky was on fire. Lots of red in the sky this morning.

I don’t recall kitty shenanigans in the night, but I don’t think we had any cats sleeping on the bed. I think they’re still trying to figure out their own night time routines. I’m sure eventually, they’ll both come to bed, and snuggle in for the night.

Coffee is brewing, and we’re slowly waking up here. The cats have been fed, and I think Pippin is trying to get Chaucer to play. She tries so hard to play with him, but she’s so much faster than he is.

She’ll run up to him, and then dart away before he can turn around and see what she’s doing. It’s actually cute to see. She’s just so much fast than he is. You remember the squirrel in the movie Over the Hedge? That’s Pippin.

Ok, must consume some coffee. Again, happy Friyay!

Good morning! It’s a gray and overcast day out there. But it’s warm, so yesterday Crystal put a chair so Pippin could look out the back door. It’s still warmish so I put her table back. I believe she’s currently sitting watching the sun rise.

Yesterday was my first day back to work after my holiday. I was by myself for most of the day, our accountant scared the crap out of me. I planned this so I wouldn’t have to deal with anyone, and kinda just get things done.

It was a busy morning. I figured that my desk would be covered in a “stream of consciousness” if post-it notes and scraps of paper. I was close. It was neatly stacked on my desk. So I. Started at the top and just worked through it. I think I got most of the notes either looked at, or totally taken care of. BossLady was flying yesterday, and couldn’t be reached. Today, I’m sure she’ll be calling a couple of times.

It’s all good.

I’m not going to think about it right now, now is the time for coffee. And the coffee is good.

Oh happy days!

G’s up, hoes down, while you motherfuckers bounce to this

Good morning party people! It’s shortly after 7am, and the sun is slowly rising. There was playing in the night. Specifically around 5ish this morning. The playing woke both of us up. We both thought that both kittens were playing.

We were wrong.

It was a lone kitty playing – Chaucer.

Yes you read that right. The old man was having the time of his life, playing with a little blue fish with not a care in the world. I got up to go to the bathroom, and Pippin was really trying to sleep in there while Chaucer was playing like the end of the world was at stake.

Now, he’s really trying to get into a lap, so he can go to sleep. We’re both denying him lap space. I have my feet up, and Crystal has her Chromebook. He’s totally not impressed with this.

We’ve started to play co-op Cat Quest 2. I’m really enjoying playing. It keeps my attention, and that says a lot. I like the game because there’s no competition between the two players – there’s a shared inventory, and shared gold. It really allows the players to just play the game – and kick some bad cat, and bad dog ass.

Ok, I really need coffee. Happy hump day!

Good morning everyone! The cats let us “sleep in” until 7:30. I think that’s a new record. The coffee is brewing, and the cats are having a stare off in the living room. I think they play in the night. Neither of them actually slept on the bed last night. It was like two sharks circling us this morning.

So we got up and started our morning routine. Coffee, feed the cats, etc. Chaucer is really trying to get into Crystal’s lap. In that aspect, he’s like a dog with a bone. Nothing else matters but that lap.

As you can see, they are starting to be able to almost be in the same space. Pippin was upset that he was in my lap last night, and instead of climbing into Crystal’s lap to spite him, she got as close as she could without touching him. It’s cute.

The curtains are all open, and the sun is shining this morning. With a high of 10, it’s supposed to be sunny all day – just some gusts of wind. Shouldn’t be too bad of a day. It’s my last day of vacation, and we’re going to check out some second hand stores, namely one in SlightlyBiggerTown. You remember, the one that was closed when we were there last Friday.

Yes, I’ve checked, it is open today. Woot!

Coffee time!
