Being with you has opened my eyes could I ever believe such a perfect surprise?

It’s a lot later than usual, this post. Sorry. My brain is still foggy when I get up at 5am. I almost slept through the night, but around 1:30, Podrick decided to do Podrick things, and I had to ruin his fun. I fell asleep shortly after.

I had to open the shop this morning. I think it was around -7° without the wind chill when I got to work. I got the store ready to open. Then outside with my lantern toque to measure the fuels. I heard my coworker pull up and open his door, so I yelled that I was out back, and to come and use the side door. Once I was finished outside, the store opened minutes later to … no one. It was a quiet morning. Eventually, customers started to come in.

After work, I headed to Shady Acres to clean the pellet stove. After my mom showed me Crystal’s Christmas gift, and the shop-vac bag had been replaced, I cleaned the stove and turned it on. I grabbed their vacuum, and headed back to The Flat.

No plans for the rest of the day, except to finish Smackdown, and then make pizza, and watch the NXT PLE tonight.

Back to work tomorrow morning for the day. Then two glorious days off.

Three French hens

Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, I know I’m late, for both. But we’ve already celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. And even though it’s past time, I had a day off a box of turkey boob, and a counter full of high processed food ready for this evening when we feast!

Podrick wasn’t too bad this morning. He wasn’t as loud or as annoying as he could. He was trying to open the door, like a human. He jumps at the doorknob, I think just because it makes a racket when you just pull and let go. He rattles it.

The coffee has been brewed, and I’ll put on Alice’s Restaurant a little later, when it’s time to either put the turkey in the oven, or when I’m pulling it out. I haven’t decided yet.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My memory is muddy, what’s this river that I’m in?

Good morning, fam. Podrick was being Podrick this morning, so I’m up a little early this morning. I was nice and warm, and sleeping. With just a little drool on the pillow.

I got up, and dressed. I stumbled out to the kitchen, and turned on the coffee. Then I turned my attention to the living room. I picked up some books. I know, one morning, it’s gonna look like a bomb went off. But, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Welcome to Monday morning.

Once again, it’s dark out. Very dark. I think going forward, that’ll be the theme of every morning from here on out, until spring. And spring is so very far away.

Yesterday, we travelled to SlightlyBiggerTown. It was a pretty nice drive. A slight wind, but it was bright and sunny out. And it was chilly out. I think around 10-12° outside. But it was warm in the truck. We got some yummy food at the grocery store, including a nice frozen turkey breast. I’ll make a huge Thanksgiving feast for The Beautiful One on Wednesday.

Back to work for a couple of days this afternoon. I work today, and tomorrow – getting Wednesday off. Then I’m on duty until Sunday evening. It’ll be a long week, but, it’s gonna be a good week. Let’s talk about it.

Oh, I got a new pair of gloves yesterday. A little expensive for my tastes, but it’s better than wearing a pair of gloves, that three fingers are covered in electrical tape. I’ll be trying them out this afternoon. Is it sad that I’m excited to try them out?

Time to refill the coffee cup. Happy Monday everyone!

And I’d like to be a star and shine on you

Morning. It’s Sunday, so that means it’s chore day. I’ll start in a couple of hours. It’s not a lot. So it shouldn’t take too long.

This afternoon, we’ll be heading to Shady Acres, where I’ll be hauling in about 20 bags of wood pellets. Then, I’ll be cleaning the stove again.

Pippin just crawled onto my lap for a snuggle. She’s staring at Podrick.

I need more coffee.

Two-steppin’ on the table, she don’t need a dance floor

I was up early this morning. It was dark out in the living room. I brewed coffee, and got dressed. I slept ok. But, I’m still tired. I had the opening shift this morning. I opened with Bing Bing, and we got through the first small rush. After a couple of hours, I brewed two more pots of coffee. It’s hunting season, and the hunters are needy in the mornings.

All in all it wasn’t a bad shift. Just busy enough to keep the time passing. I did some cleaning, and worked on December’s best befores. We do it every month. It’s time consuming, but we’re better than the grocery store in town. Not one person for as long as I can remember has bought something that was expired. That’s a good thing.

Now I’m home. I should probably have something to eat. But I’m tired. We’re having burgers tonight. I took them out last night, along with some bacon for tomorrow. So maybe I’ll just chug a pint of egg nog and call it an afternoon?

Maybe I’ll start laundry? I don’t really feel like moving though, so maybe not. It’s Saturday bitches, and I have the next, technically 2 days off.

Let’s get crunk!
