Sometimes dropping down to fifty miles per hour, only to immediately gun it back up to 90 again

Ugh, morning everyone. It’s a gray morning here, but it doesn’t look too windy. The weather is gonna change, temp wise. It should be happening tomorrow. But right now, gray. It drizzled yesterday here. It smelled so good after the rain stopped. It smelled clean and just like spring.

I got the call yesterday, and left for work early. The vet had Chaucer back. So I went to pick him up. I knew exactly where I wanted to put him when we got home. He’s currently nestled in between the plants facing the sun.

Yesterday, at work was pretty much a shit-show. The part timer that I was supposed to work with called out hours before he was supposed to come in. Too close to the shift to find anyone. If this kid would’ve called out when he told his parents he wasn’t going to school. It would’ve been fine! But nope it was confusion for hours, and BossLady came in for the longest three hours of my life lol.

Let’s just say, a lot of cleaning got done.

Coffee.

Coffee and contemplation.

We’re getting closer to the weekend. Woot!

If I did my math correctly, this should be post 1700 🎉

Good morning, the sun is shining. I opened the back door for the tiny Pippin, and as I’m getting my coffee, I hear a racket that involved kitty paws and banging and slapping. I turn around and, see a tabby cat smacking the window right in front of Pippin. Pippin, whose tail when fluffed, looks small and stumpy. It’s very cute.

I was up at the ass crack of dawn to go to work on a mid shift. It was very quiet at work. Sure there’s the regulars going to work. But to have three people when it’s not busy, just makes for a very long day. But I survived, and made my way to Shady Acres to help my dad with “one quick thing”. The one quick thing took just about an hour. But it’s done now.

The afternoon was nice at home. My back and neck were very stiff, so I cooked dinner, and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening slothing out on the couch. The neck and back are still saying hello I’m right here. I won’t let you forget about us! I’ll have a hot shower this morning, and fire back some Advil.

Back to work for the rest of the week. Closing shift. One bonus for this week. I’m only working the weekdays. That’s a bit of a bonus. I’ll have a weekend off, and I won’t have to go to SlightlyBiggerTown town this weekend. I can sloth out.

Big congrats to Crystal on getting the black deck on Balatro! Kick ass!

Yep, I’m awake early. I have a mid shift today. And I’ve been up on and off since probably around 3 or 4. The earliest I was up was around 1:30ish. It wasn’t a bad sleep. When I was asleep it was a great one. But before I went to bed last night, my neck was starting to stiffen up.

It’s all the way stiff now.

And, I’d wake up every time I moved or rolled over. So I have a little less field of vision right now until I’m up and about for a while. It’ll loosen up. But I already know, not enough. Pippin screamed a little, but she’s on my lap snuggled in.

I need more coffee.

So yeah, happy Monday everyone!

The feast that I’m gonna make, could cause a huge erection

Good morning. Instead of the gentle, hey time to wake up, I got the Tiny One standing on my shoulder, or on the bed, or in the hall, screaming that it’s time to wake up, and open the door for me.

So I roll out of bed, and stumble to the kitchen to turn on the coffee. Bathroom. Tv. Feed the Needy One, and then what she wants, the door open, and the table put there.

She got a table ride to the door. That’s where she is right now. We got a break from the screaming for an hour or so, and then she’ll come into the living room, and scream at us.

Good times.

But it’s Sunday, and that means chores. I’ll start them shortly. Shouldn’t be too bad since I did the chores last Monday when I was off. But the laundry will be started soon, along with the rest of the chores. Rest assured, we’ll have clean clothes for the week.

Also, brunch.

But it’s bright and sunny out there with a high of 34°. That’s not too shabby if you ask me.

Good motherfucking morning. Afternoon. I’ve been up since 5, to go into work this morning. Again the alarm went off without a problem. and I started my day by picking up books that Pippin knocked out of the book case from the arm out the couch. I found one of the two earbuds in the middle of the hall. Crystal found the second one. Then I fed the Pippin, and finally turned on the coffee before getting dressed.

I get to work and open normally and head outside to do the environment stuff we do every Saturday. Once that was finished, we opened for the day. The day started a little slow, but once the town woke up, it got nice and steady. Which made the time go by pretty quickly.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. Into SlightlyBiggerTown for supplies and lunch to go. Once home and the groceries put away we noticed that we forgot light bulbs so I went down to the farm and auto store. I didn’t get the light bulbs right away I left, and got Crystal. I took her down and showed her the baby goats in a pen. The owners took them in because mama goat ignored them.

I got to hold one!
