Oh lawd, 4:30 came early this morning. You know what came earlier? 4:18. That’s when I rolled out of bed this morning. I had to be at work for 5:30. I got up, and noticed the cats weren’t around anywhere. I looked in the bathroom, and they were snuggled on the top shelf asleep. so I started my day, the only way I know how.

I went to the bathroom, then turned on the coffee pot, and quickly got dressed, as it was freaking cold in the apartment. I was pretty close to shivering when I finally got all my layers on. Spoiler alert; I really didn’t need all the layers today. The manager that usually comes in at the Sam time was running late, so I opened the store. I probably would’ve done it anyways, I don’t mind opening. I was working with a guy that doesn’t work the POS system, so I was on register duty. While it was slow, I did some cleaning. Once groceries arrived then we got down to work.

Thankfully it wasn’t too busy in the store, so it only took an hour to finish up the groceries. By that time second shift was mere minutes out. So I went and filled the truck, and within like 10ish minutes I was on my commute back to The Flat.

I don’t plan on doing too much. I do have to get up again, every time I get up, I forget to take my happy pill. Update: finally took it.

Left over pizza for lunch. Appetizers for dinner.

Days over y’all.

Yep, up early again. It’s really not Podrick’s fault this morning. I kinda just woke up. My sinus’ are stuffed up, so it’s hard if not impossible to breathe through my nose, I have a slight headache. Podrick was doing Podrick things, but he wasn’t the main cause this morning.

Of course you get out of bed, and it’s freakin cold in the real world. So, I’m sitting here in a thick sweater and a toque. Thankfully, the furnace just came on, and the coffee is ready. Life is pretty good at this second.

So the original plan for Crystal’s birthday fell through. But I’m not gonna dwell on that, I’ll do my best to reschedule it for what remains of this winter. For an hour or two after finding out, I’ll admit I was pretty bummed, but then my brain started to brain. Within a little while, I had plan b mostly figured out.

So today, we’ll travel to BiggerTown. About an hour and a half away. This town has a Walmart. Ooooh. It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been, and it’s due. I need new socks n stuff, and Crystal needs a birthday present. So we’ll do our usual grocery run, and birthday run. And then on Tuesday, we’ll head off to SlightlyBiggerTown for weed and other vapes. Oh, and of course Subway.

But since I’m up early, I’m attacking the coffee. I whispered to Crystal this morning, to maybe try and fall asleep again. I’ll hold down the fort. Podrick is being somewhat good this morning. So we’ll figure it out.

Well Podrick is escalating, and has gotten Crystal out of bed. So I guess it’s time to start the day. Happy Saturday everyone!

Podrick is doing so good. I just need him to continue being so good, but add another 40 minutes. We’re getting closer to when I actually want to get up. And, I would really like it, if I wasn’t the main through-fare to get anywhere in the bedroom. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had paw sized bruises.

But he’s getting better. Really, getting better. He’s not a bad kitty, just young, probably a little feral. He’s slowly getting into our groove.

But yeah. I would like to fall asleep easy at night, not have to get up multiple times in the night. Then just the ability to sleep in until 7. Would I like it to be 8? Fuck yes I do. But it’ll never happen. I guess I’m lucky that I can make it until 6:15.

I think this is it. I’m gonna suck back some coffee, and then probably hop in the shower. Open to close today. Just an hour and a few minutes longer that yesterday, but it feels totally different today.

I need more coffee. Happy Sunday y’all.
