Tag: up early

Da da da da dada da daaaa I’m lovin’ it!

It’s a little earlier than normal. My head is pound pound pounding, and I think Podrick went to sleep. We’re up? And the kitties are fed. Well, Pippin is, Podrick will keep going back to his bowl every couple of minutes until the gross dry kibble is all eaten. He’s back eating. I first woke up sometime this morning, to a kitten under the covers. I don’t know which one it was, because both kittens like to go under the covers. I’m guessing it was Pod. I didn’t pet or anything, if it was Pod, I didn’t want to excite him.

Today will be a busy one. Chores, which I’ll start in a few, brunch. Because, I want brunch, and it’s yummy. Then we’re off to Shady Acres, to be personable and normal, because some family came to visit. I’ll do my best to be talkative, but I can’t promise anything. My cousin is here, probably with his kids, and his new girlfriend. My mom’s been freaking out because she’s Indian, and a vegetarian. But mom says she still eats chicken, so for a couple of days mom had asked us to find Indian vegetarian recipes. So I have no idea what kind of food we’ll be walking into today!

The sun is a bright orange this morning – still. A lot of wildfires in the northern part of the province. It’s been weird, fall like weather. For the last couple of days, it starts out nice and sunny, slowly clouds over, and then for a few minutes to about a half hour, it lightly rains or at the most drizzles. Then it starts all over again. Weird weather.

Let’s spend the night together from now until forever

After I pulled Podrick away from the blind cords, it sounded like he was throwing himself against the door like a little police officer trying to serve a warrant. He was so relentless, that the squad from Law & Order should be calling him to arrange an interview. Eventually he was let back in, and within minutes, The Beautiful One had to get up and out of the room to feed them, so I could sleep for another couple of minutes.

It was a big day here in TinyTown. It’s the annual Heritage Day. It’s a day of parades, food trucks, petting zoos, orbs, and of course, country music, and beer. We didn’t end up going. It’s gotten a little expensive with the cabaret being added onto the ticket. So we did our own thing. We watched the parade, and then managed to get some ground bison, and a block of Velveeta. for the rest of the afternoon, we were lazy. Crystal played Neir: Automata, and I tried to play Civ 7, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on my phone. Civ has way too much information, and GTA is playable but difficult. I’ll probably uninstall them.

Then it was time for SummerSlam. I had a couple seconds of trouble trying to get it up and running, but a quick reboot of the Roku, and we were off to the races. We followed along with the WWE subreddit for a while, until it was time to start to cook, so I paused it, and The Beautiful One and I started to make our Nachos. I think we enjoyed the matches that they put on for night one. As we got our plates of nachos, I hit play, and we ignored the subreddit.

I thought that matches were pretty good. Some a little slower than others. Some were funnier than others. But finally it was time for the main event. CM Punk vs Gunther. It was a very slow, technical match. I enjoyed it as much as you can for a slow technical match.

Hey hey. Another late post. I was up again, at the ass-crack of dawn to go to work. But I made it there in time, and got the store opened. They I did the extra stuff that’s needs to be done on a Saturday morning. It was a wicked slow morning, even more so than other Saturdays – so we cleaned. We have a weekly and monthly cleaning list. The monthly is finished. We usually finish it around this time, so my coworker and I moved on to the weekly list. I think there’s 15 items on the list – there’s two not finished now. Accomplishment!

After work, I picked up The Beautiful One, and we headed to SlightlyBiggerTown for much needed supplies. With the supplies gathered, we stopped at Subway, and picked up lunch/dinner. Once home, the groceries were put away, and the food was consumed. Now I could nap, but it’s way too late for me to nap. So I’ll find something on TV, perhaps Smackdown or possibly play Balatro for a while. My attention span isn’t really that long right now. I’ll find something though.

Just gotta survive tomorrow, and the. I’ll be on two days off! W00t. Sundays aren’t usually too bad. I do find my energy slowly start to taper off around 3ish. But we’ll get it done, and have the store looking good for when the BossLady comes in Monday morning. And tomorrow for dinner, motherfucking burgers!

I am a real American fight for the rights of every man

Yep, it’s a little later in the day for me posting, but, yeah, it is. I had to be up wicked early, because for the first time in what feels like months, I had an opening shift. Podrick was running around like a crazy person this morning, and I credit him with getting me out of bed on time. The alarm was set, but I think the last power outage erased the radio station, so it wasn’t going off. I got up, and checked the clock on the stove. Yep, time to turn the coffee on.

Podrick was a cat possessed this morning. He was getting into everything. And of course, I’m trying to keep him quiet so hopefully Crystal would be able to sleep past 5am. I don’t think she managed to sleep past then because, you guessed it; Podrick. I managed to keep him mostly quiet, as I sucked down half a pot of coffee. I gave The Beautiful One a kiss, and headed to work.

Work was slow. Very slow. It’s one of the reasons why I asked to be put on as many nights as possible. So yeah, wicked slow. It wasn’t even starting to pick up as the closers were coming in. But I cleaned a little bit, and really just tried to look as busy as possible. Thankfully, BossLady wasn’t feeling it either this morning, so it was a little more relaxed.

Since yesterday was a nice quiet day here, I was playing Balatro, and was totally in the groove. I managed to win, unlocking a new deck, and a couple of rounds later was the wall that I was expecting a lot earlier. So that ended that run. I figured that I couldn’t get much better last night, so I closed out the game, patted myself on the back.

Yesterday morning, before we really did anything, Crystal put on the livestream from Moscow, Idaho for the sentencing hearing for BK. We listened to the impact statements while Crystal read the live comments on Reddit. The true crime people are really a bunch of entitled cunts. They demand all the information, and complain when they can’t get the information. They want all the answers, but they’ll never get all the answers that they want.

Yep, he’s dead. I used to watch him on Saturday mornings. I think he used to be my favorite wrestler. Later on in life, I’ve heard stories of how much of an asshole he actually was. Nuff said.

We’ll be heading out to the second hand store here in town in a little while. Maybe we’ll find some awesome treats at a great deal. But, probably not. Happy Thursday!

This is the greatest and best song in the world. Tribute

We’re up early. No fault of anyone, other than my own body betraying me. I must have slept wrong, or the fan blew on my neck or what have you. It hurt to lay down. It hurt to roll over. Then add allergies. I can barely breath standing up, never mind laying down.

So here we are. 6:13 in the morning. Coffee has been brewed, and the kittens have been fed. Podrick is doing Podrick things while Pippin just shakes her head. They both snuggled in the bed with us this morning, until they figured out that both of them were on the bed.

Look at that! 1800 posts! I can’t believe that I’ve posted 1800 times. IN A ROW! I’ve never been consistent like this in anything else. It is a major accomplishment for me. I’ve been serving dinner for 5 years here. Hopefully, I’ll be serving for another 5 years. Wouldn’t that be an accomplishment?

I don’t care that I’m up this early, it just sucks that I have to work today. This afternoon. But it’s all good. I’ve already taken some Advil, and in a few hours, I’ll get in the shower, and with the water as hot as I can stand it, I’ll get my neck under the spray. so let’s get this motherfucking day started, huh? Fuck yeah, sunrise! (The sun rose at 5:02 this morning.)
