I like my chili in a bowl, Bob Seger, rock & roll football on a Friday night

Ahh, up fresh from a nap. But now I have that post nap slight headache. Welp, you can’t have it all. It was difficult to get up this morning. The alarm scared me, but it was still a struggle.

But I got up, and fed Chaucer, who was pacing around, as if he was happy that I was getting up at a normal time. 4:30am being a normal time for an old man. He’s pretty much tucked himself into bed shortly after dinner.

Work was busier than it’s been today. Every time BossLady had to go outside for a customer, that’s when everyone decided it was time to come in. As soon as she was done outside, the crowds dissipated. It was strange. Even stranger, it happened twice!

I had ordered two shirts and a new phone case from AliExpress on the 6th I think. AliExpress is weird, as it will split the orders up. A shirt and the phone case was expected on the 27th of this month, and one shirt on the 6th of July. Well, the one due on the 6th arrived today. I can’t wait for the shirts, but I kinda need a case on the phone! Maybe they’ll be in tomorrow, or Monday. We’ll see.

We’re having hotdogs and chips for dinner. I’m excited for some dirty water dogs. I even remembered to get some mustard.

Hot Dogs!

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember a Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow

Fuck yeah it’s Friyay! It’s Friyay, and I need a nap. We’re just back from SlightlyBiggerTown. We went for groceries, and weed. I was out, and was digging into Crystal’s stash. It was time. We got more carts, and another bag o’ weed.

Tomorrow is the town wide garage sale. I’ll be up early, to get over to Shady Acres to load up my mom’s truck, and bring it all back here to put out on our lawn. We have some stuff, but my mom has way more. It might be a two tripper.

We’ll see.

I was out with a customer today and happened to see a sticker on the back window of his truck. I was flabbergasted. I was completely out of flabbers. I had to sneak around to take a picture.

I actually have no words for this.

Well my baby and me went out late Saturday night

Another work day done. It’s been slow this week. I think our biggest rush was 3 or 4 people. At once. I know, crazy right. We’re getting a touch screen for our POS, tomorrow. I told BossLady that, that’s when everyone is going to want to come and buy stuff. She agreed.

Crystal is playing her video game, and is currently fighting some sort of mole-beast-monster, or something like that. I think she’s winning, but I’m not too sure.

It’s a gray day out there, and it’s been threatening to rain all day. It was starting to get serious about it on the drive home. Hopefully it’ll hold off, because it’s Thursday, and I remembered that the second hand store is open today. So maybe after Crystal finishes killing the mole-beast-monster, we’ll check out what they got.

I’m gonna try and force myself not to nap this afternoon. Or maybe I’ll nap, and we’ll go to the second hand store after. Who knows!

*yawn* Sup bitches, it’s ya boy Shawshank. I’m tired, and we’re under a thunderstorm watch, as well as a tornado watch.

Good times.

Man, 4:30 comes early in the morning. That’s the only thing I don’t like about first shift. Getting up. But I got up, and survived the work day. It was another slow day, but we did some projects in and around the store. Before we knew it, the grocery delivery made it to the store, and was put away before second shift got in.

The view at 4:30 in the morning

As I was driving to Shady Acres, the radio cut out, and my phone scared the shit out of me – tornado warning for the area. Great!

RESPECT THE POLYGON.

So I make it to Shady Acres, and with helped with replacing the wax ring for the main toilet in the house. Took about a half hour or so, and I walked away feeling confident that I could probably do it by myself, if needed.

Now, I’m back at the Flat, with my dirty toilet clothes in the wash. Crystal is playing her video game.

It’s too late to take a nap.

Gotta have a friend in Jesus

Good morning, hello! Well, I’m sure it’s morning somewhere in the world. I just got up from a nap, and had a really good kitten snuggle. The nap, was ok. I don’t really get into a REM sleep. Just a light sleep, for an hour or so.

Work was, well, wicked slow. Like the slowest I’ve seen in a while. No morning rush, just people randomly coming in. It was a long shift for sure today.

I spent a good while yesterday, working in the garage with my dad. He’s been more active lately. The day before he and my mom walked around the block. Which is amazing, but he over did it a little. Yesterday, he almost was like his old self, minus the cane. It was really nice just being around him.

I mowed their lawn yesterday, but that also meant that we had to get the ride-on actually running. I think that took about an hour or so, but we got it. Dad was starting to lose steam though when we couldn’t get the push mower running. I got most of the lawn done with the ride-on.

Back to work again tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will have stopped by then. However, it’s supposed to be windy again for the next couple of days (yay). So we got that going for us. But for right now. Kitten snuggles on the couch with the Great One. Happy Monday y’all.
