She’s the sweetest thing that I know

Posted on by Shawshank

It’s Thursday, so that means the second hand shop is open. Nothing that jumped out at me today. Which is ok, you can’t hit a home run each time you’re up to bat, amirite?

Right now, it’s sunny, and pretty windy out. The sky looks a live out there, and I’m better at taking pictures of the clouds than I am, say taking a selfie. But that’s ok!

Nothing at the post office either, but it’s nice to get out for a walk in the sun. The wind isn’t even that bad, just some bad gusts. It’s only blowing at about 30kph.

Now, I’ll be sous chef to my mom, we’re going to be baking some muffins. I don’t know what kind, but some baking will get done!

Also, the Vindaloo I cooked yesterday will be served for dinner tonight over some rice. I was so afraid that mom and gramma wouldn’t like it, but I didn’t put any spicy spice in it, but it still tastes really good!

In the middle of the night, in my dreams

Good morning party people! It’s almost Pre-Friday. You’re almost there! Just a few more moments to hold onto, then it’ll be Friday. But savour the Friday’s and the Saturday’s, because, before you know it, it’ll be Pre-Monday. And everyone hates Pre-Monday.

So yesterday was fun. Dad had a day off work, so the whole family went to get groceries, and out for lunch. Then home to nap (because this is Shady Acres after all), and then at 4 pm, it’s time to build something! This time it was a bed frame for my dads bed, so his blankets don’t keep falling down. Lol.

Because when you’re in love, even 5 minutes a part, feels like an eternity.

Happy Thursday everyone!

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl I love

Good morning y’all! Guess. What. Day. It. Is. It’s hump day! Half way through the week! You’re almost to Pre-Friday. You can make it! I have faith. It looks completely different outside over the past two days. There’s no wind, very few clouds in the sky, it’s sunny, it’s kinda warm, and there’s no wind!

I have to laugh, I don’t know it it’ll show on the actual post but that gif is like triple speed.

I went to sleep about 20 minutes later than normal last night. I meant to just read for 10 minutes, just to finish 2 pages in ‘Ship of Theseus’. I’m getting into the main story, but I’m still a little (a lot) confused with the margin story. I hope it all comes together.

Weird German dreams last night. But mix weird German dreams with Demolition Man, and X-Men. It was very strange. And I woke up very confused.

Happy Hump Day!

Just another manic Monday

Well, it’s Monday. I’m up, showered, and have a cup of coffee in front of me. I got the local CTV news station on. It’s a crisp 6c outside this morning.

I have the ingredients for a snack for Neal on the counter, I’ll try to elbow my way into the kitchen to make that, while my mom is outside taking all the green tomatoes off the vine, and retiring the plants for the season. It’s getting colder and colder at night, so before they die from frost, they’ll go away.

My German lessons are going well, having some problems with you/I/they/we but I’ll get it soon. I finished 3rd in my league, so I got to move up to the next one. We’ll see if I finish in the top 5 this week. I tell myself it doesn’t matter, but I keep looking at the standings.

Why, yes, frau I do have bread. I sliced it yesterday. There may be more bread being made today. I’ll stay out of the way of that. I learned yesterday, that I don’t know how to make gravy correctly. It was totally a Leviosa not Leviosaa thing. I put down the whisk, and left the kitchen after that.

So have you read my Twilight review from yesterday? What? You haven’t? Sacrilege! Keep scrolling and read it. It’s gold, Jerry, GOLD.

Well, I just got into town an hour ago

It’s Fri-Yay! Y’all made it! It’s a cool breezy day here in TinyTown. Yesterday was grocery day. We blew through it in record time, and was back to the house by noon.

I bought a bag of books dirty cheap at the second hand store, and set up my own bookshelf, moving some Nora Roberts and JD Robb out of the way to make room for some awesome books.

Watched Donnie talk at people last night. Standing ovations each time he said god. Fear mongering at its finest. It’s frustrating listening to him try so hard to emote and talk about love and then blame everyone else for what’s happened. Shut that off and went to bed.

It got cold in the night, but it was a good sleep. I always sleep better when it’s a little colder out. I was all snuggled in blankets and the alarm scared me this morning.

Today, I’m gonna be heading to a garage sale. The last one we went to was ok, nothing but crafts, but this one boasts “EVERYTHING MUST GO”, so we’ll see what they have to offer. I’ve been watching car shows so I now know how to negotiate very well. Maybe something will jump out at me. We’ll see 🧐
