Just two quick items:
We’ve had Podrick the brave, the mighty, the simple for a year. Wow it’s already been a year. Mr Rick as he likes to be called is probably about 20lbs now. Big change from when we brought him home!


Just a quick one today, guys.
Early morning here. And of course my brain loves to wake up when I have an alarm set. 3:45. Then 4:05. Then 4:15. Then 4:45. Finally at 4:57, I get up an turn off the alarm.
So far Podrick is being good.
I have one more shift, and then I’m off for pretty much 2 days, even though I only have Sunday off. So there will be rest and relaxation, as well as helping my dad fix the dryer.
So happy weekend to everyone. Soon I’ll be able to enjoy it as well!
It’s a little chilly out there. I hope that the wind will die down before work, but it’s winter here still so I doubt the wind will stop. But it is bright and sunny out there. We should barely get above freezing today. And I just checked, the wind will be with us until around 7.
Another closing shift tonight, then surprise, an opening shift. The guy I’m closing with tonight, is the co-worker that I’ll be working with tomorrow morning. I was off my game just a little last night, timing wise, so we didn’t get out 3 minutes after we closed. I used just about all the 15 minutes. But we still got out pretty quickly.
Winter truly has its claws into the region. There’s snow expected for Sunday and Monday. But that forecast has been bouncing around. Earlier this week that snow was supposed to be yesterday and today, and we were expecting 5-6 inches. Now it’s less than an inch – if we even get any.
Two days ago, it was 72°.
Today is a high of 33°.
So let’s scream at the top of our lungs: WHAT’S GOING ON?
It’s morning. Podrick has been doing Podrick things for a while this morning. He’s a very bad boy. And it continues for about a 1/2 to 45 minutes. He’s quiet right now, but he’ll start up again soon. He just dragged himself across me.
Crystal ordered some black out curtains for the bedroom. Hopefully if he can’t really see that it’s daylight, he won’t start making noise, or getting into places, loudly, where he’s not supposed to go.
Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. It was my final swing shift for a while, and I’m mostly back on nights. I close a couple of days, and then open Saturday morning again. I don’t mind opening on Saturdays – it’s only like a 7 hour shift.
I have a day off today. I have to wander up to the bank, and get some coin switched to the fancy folding money. We have to drive into SlightlyBiggerTown to pick up a beanbag chair. We should be hitting up the secondhand store, and then grabbing some dinner at Dairy Queen before coming home.
I need more coffee.
It’s Wednesday my dudes.

Good early morning everyone. I’ve been up on and off since about 4. Podrick was being an ass this morning. So yeah the alarm going off this morning, kinda just annoyed me a little more.
But here we are. The sun is rising, and it’s going to be a nice day out there today. You know, the calm before the actual storm. It was supposed to em snow tomorrow, but they upgraded it to thunder storms. Snow the next day.
Woohoo.
I can’t wait to go back to my normal schedule. I don’t mind random morning shifts, but I’ve had enough fun! It’s a lot slower in the mornings. That’s cool for a while, but then, it’s just slow. I don’t mind slow, but it’s slow. Back at it today. Day off tomorrow. I think we’re heading into SlightlyBiggerTown to pick up a bean bag chair, from the people that just moved out of the unit beside us.
Small world.
I need more coffee.
It’s Tuesday my dudes.
