Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle Bell Square in the frosty air

Yep it’s cold. Very cold. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because I’m at home with a happy Chaucer on my lap. Lemme tell you, it was hard getting up this morning. I woke up at 4:22, missing my sleep mask. So I figured I might as well get up and start the day.

I got up turned on the coffee pot, and that’s when Chaucer wandered out to say good morning. I fed him, then quickly got dressed. I figured I had about 40 minutes before I had to start the Hot Mess. The car had a little trouble starting, but did fire up right away, which made my day.

Now I’m home, and I’ll probably fire up Persona 5 Royal in a few minutes. Unless Crystal is taking her hair off and then I’ll cut all the elastics and then play.

It’s a pretty good day so far even though I’ve only had one cup of coffee. But that’s ok.

Oh lawd. I’m tired.

I got home shortly after work, and I grabbed Crystal and we went to SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies. With the supplies gathered, we skipped Subway this week, and came home.

Instead of making this post a few hours ago, I fired up Persona 5 Royal, and played until now. As I was desperately trying to get to a save point (the last 10 save points, I forgot). I finally got to one and save and shut it off.

As I was taking midterm tests and talking to a counsellor, Crystal started and completed our Thanksgiving feast which is in the oven. It smells terrific.

So yeah I’m having troubles stringing words together – I was up most of the night coughing. I’m gonna end here.

Chores tomorrow.

Big Glo come through, shut shit down, I’m bringin’ hoes out

Chaucer has been singing his opera since about 3 am. Randomly. I was able to get mostly back to sleep, but my poor Crystal has been up since the beginning.

It’s gonna be a long day. For both of us.

It snowed in the night. It was mowing when I got off work last night. I drove down the middle of the highway. I’m going into work a little early to do snow removal, and to do a task the opener couldn’t do yesterday. Yay.

Last night about 15 minutes before we closed the phone rang. The other employee picked it up. English isn’t his first language, so I took the phone. The guy on the other end was saying that the roads were terrible, and would be arriving about 10 minutes after we closed. I told him if he arrived after hours we wouldn’t be able to help him. But we’ll need gas. Sorry man no one is going to be here. He tells me, and I quote: “you’re a fucking cocksucker, and I’m going to post online about this.”

I texted BossLady, so she’s aware of it and I moved on with my day. We were just cleaning our cars off at 10 after. No one. Oh well.

Back to work today should be home shortly after 6. Yay.

My tight dress and red lips, I know you want it, I’m just living that life

Here I am, I didn’t forget about you, dear readers. I had to be up at the ass-crack of dawn. Before dawn. I was at work when dawn began to break.

It was a rare 5:30-1:30 shift for yours truly. Thankfully I didn’t have to be outside for long, because our part timer who only goes to do gas had to be out in the cold.

I took a chance and wore my steel toed Docs to work. I was worried that my feet would be killing me after 8 hours, but my feet feel fine after.

We’re expecting more snow this weekend. It’s my first week of being the “night manager”, so I was asking BossLady all sorts of questions regarding the snow. It’s business as usual. That’s all I needed to know.

But none of that matters right now. It’s for future Shawshank. Right now I have Chaucer on my lap, and I’m home relaxing. Seems like a good Thursday to me.

Yep, it’s snowing.

I was up at 4:30 this morning. BossLady asked me to be on call in case she wasn’t able to get out of her property. I texted her shortly after I woke up saying that there was no snow in town. She thanked me and told me to back to sleep.

Let’s just say I went back to bed. I tossed and turned and fell asleep just very lightly between 5:30 and 6 when the alarm went off. I think I got maybe a total of 4 hours of sleep.

I’m gonna try and make it to bed time.

Fingers crossed.

So I get into work at 8 and make myself a coffee. It’s slow at work. I’m really not used to working during the day. I mused that I miss the night shift.

But the came to an end the second shift arrived and I stayed until 3:30. There wasn’t enough for three people to do so I left. I’m on the couch now, with a very happy Chaucer curled up on my lap.

Crystal is playing her game. It’s a fun game I really just can get used to the screen angle, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have the attention span for the 30 minute+ fights as well.

Poutine for dinner tonight. Yum!
