Tag: up early

Hoping it’ll take me just a little farther down the line

Back to work this morning. Mid shift today. So of course I’m up early because, I had an alarm set. My body loves to wake up hours before the alarm goes off, to fucking make sure I’m awake. Always hours before the alarm. This time, it started at 4am. Then I woke up at 5:40.

Fuck it. Time to get up.

I’m gonna write this post, and then get up, shower, and get dressed. Hopefully the 8-4 shift will go somewhat quickly.

Fingers crossed.

The New England Patriots are in the Superb Owl for the first time since, I believe they said, 2019. So yeah, it’s been a while. It’s been a heck of a rebuilding decade. It’ll be the patriots vs. The Seahawks. It should be a good game.

Coffee is brewing, but I already have a cup. Once I shower, I’ll see if Crystal would like to get up. Then, I’ll spend the last minutes of warmth on the couch before heading to work.

Happy Monday everyone!

I’ll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas

Podrick was pure Podrick this morning. With that, I also had a very stuffed nose. Plus the bed was very very warm. So now, on my first of two days off, I rolled out of bed at 6:30. Needless to say, I’m really not impressed with Pod this morning.

I’ve been the last two days, enjoying my hyper fixation of the month. I’ve been watching rodeo shorts, ranch, and hat forming shorts on YouTube. It’s neat to watch the bull riders, the roping teams, and the barrel racers. It’s neat to listen to interviews of bull riders describe their injuries. One bull rider actually bought the bull that broke his neck.

So now all I see is country shorts. It’s not a bad thing I think I followed two hat companies, and a couple of rodeo pages. I’ve been enjoying seeing a different side of what usually watch so, it’s pretty good.

But good god, some bulls are freakin huge.

Two days in a row off. RAW tonight, and NXT tomorrow. I just want to relax. I have chores to do today. So they’ll get started a little later, brunch today. Everyone cross your fingers that we still have at least one slice of spicy cheese.

All I really gotta do is live and die

Morning everyone. Yeah, we’re up a little early. Well, I’m up a little early. I’m pretty sure Podrick has be poking Crystal for at least 3 hours this morning. That’s like poking a bear. I feel wicked bad for The Beautiful One. It sucks really a lot when you can’t sleep, and then add the flying tomato into the mix. He was fixated with something he thought was buried somewhere on her nightstand.

I was tired of using one hand to stretch my face so I could partially breathe through my nose, the sleep daddy sounded too loud, and for something that was supposed to be relaxing, sounded like demands this morning. Add that to being too warm, then slightly too cold. It wasn’t a good mix to falling and staying asleep. Besides, I had a 20lbs cat 4WD-ing across my legs. Back and forth, back and forth.

Anyways, I think it’s gonna be a pretty good day today. I believe it supposed to be mostly cold, and slightly windy today. That’s ok. I have a really good parka. And, Crystal got me this awesome Dickie for Christmas. So I’ll be wearing that today. And my Skims. Can’t forget the Skims.

Work all day today. It’ll be a busy day I think I’m pretty sure we have a hockey game some time tonight. I’ll start after we’re closed, but there will be people coming in to get snacks for that. I have to remember to eat today. I’ll have breakfast before I leave for work. But I have to have lunch there. And I also have to remember to bring a pizza home for dinner tonight.

Hopefully, Crystal will be able to relax and possibly nap this afternoon. She’s been the one dealing with Podrick the most. She has way more patience than I ever had. But everyone has limits. It’s a long way away, but she can look forward to going to the thrift store on Tuesday.

Let’s get the day started.

With coffee. Lots of coffee.

You keep trying to love the devil out of me

Hey. It’s afternoon. I had a terrible sleep last night. Terrible. Up early around 3 am with stomach cramps. After a trip to the bathroom, I lightly dozed until 4, when I had to use the bathroom again. The alarm scared me less than an hour later.

Good times.

Got up and stared at the TV for 30 or so minutes, drinking coffee. Then it was time to head to work. Did the environmental stuff, then the opening stuff. We opened three minutes early because a guy can’t read time properly.

The shift was dead. But it started to pick up just before we left. I headed over to Shady Acres to haul in wood pellets, and clean the stove. My father misunderstood my mom when she said shut the stove off, Shawshank will be over after work to clean it, and bring in the pellets. He thought I was just bringing in the pellets.

Now, I get to go over on a day off to clean it. Yay.

Back to work tomorrow for a full day shift. I haven’t eaten lunch but I don’t really care. I’m not hungry. I haven’t really been hungry in weeks. I eat. But when I work, the last thing I want to do is eat.

I’m tired.

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world

So Podrick has been a Podrick this morning.

He’s been annoying The Beautiful One this morning. He’s been digging in her night stand this morning. He’d dig, and she’d pull him out and then he’d walk over us to get to my night table. He’d sit there for like 5.23 seconds, and then he’d be right over digging in Crystal’s night stand. Over and over.

Finally, she drags him out of the bedroom, and quietly closed the door. I managed to doze for another 15 or so minutes, before getting dressed, and leaving the bedroom.

So yeah, Crystal has had a rocky morning. I feel bed for her. And Podrick? Completely oblivious to the carnage that he creates. but he’s been fed, and loved.

He’s just annoying. Especially, in the morning. I think he’s lonely, and his internal clock is nonexistent.

But, it’s gonna be a good day. For both of us. I have work this afternoon. It should hopefully be somewhat bright. I dunno, the sun hasn’t come up yet. I do know, that it’ll be windy, and probably cold. But I’ll layer up, and it’ll be just fine. I’m working all weekend. My weekend will be Monday, and Tuesday. I think.
