I wish I was in Tijuana eating barbequed iguana

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!

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!

The song we sang on that fateful night: it didn’t actually sound anything like this song.

Here I am. I didn’t forget I promise. I just can’t form coherent thoughts at 5 in the morning, so I figured I’d just post when I got home from work.

Greetings from north of the wall. It’s freaking cold out there. The wind never seems to stop at work. I survived, but barely. I bought back snacks, and I’ll be having some of those snacks for lunch today.

Work wasn’t too bad today. With it just being busy enough so we didn’t fall asleep. We did the opening tasks and I did the environmental stuff that we have to do each Saturday.

Other than that, it’ll be a relaxing day as I try and warm up from being outside. I bought popcorn for movie night, the Beautiful One can have chips if she wants. Tomorrow, I’ll do the laundry and the other chores.

When the fuck is spring?

There’s nothing better than closing last night, and having a mid shift this morning. You see, I have a love/hate relationship with the alarm. Once the alarm is set, I’ll wake up multiple times, long before the alarm. So when the alarm actually goes off, it scares me awake.

Good times.

Yesterday’s shift wasn’t too bad. Just slow. I mean the time went pretty quickly, it just seemed to drag on and on. But the next thing we knew, it was time to start to do the end of the night cleaning.

Also, my mom came, and we did the Great Truck Swap of 2025. Yep, I’m driving the BIG TRUCK today. Let me tell you, it really feels like you’re driving a couch down the road. But it’ll get me to work this morning, and that’s all that matters. It’s a beast of a truck.

And that’s where the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream

Good morning everyone! We’re up wicked early, because we have to be in SlightlyBiggerTown for 8am to have the truck serviced. After the truck is completed, we’ll be doing our regular shopping run, and gathering other supplies as well.

Yesterday at work wasn’t too bad. Not too busy, not too slow. It was a nice change from Tuesday, when we had three trucks arrive when there was just two of us to deal with them. I managed to mostly remember everything, minus boxing the cigarettes up until after we were closed. A minor thing.

But right now, I have both cats on my lap. They’re gonna be pissed when after I hit send in this post, I’ll be getting up for more coffee, and to get dressed. Chaucer is re-adjusting, and getting more comfortable.

I hope y’all have a great Friyay! More coffee for everyone!
