If you wanna know the truth it’s killin’ me not holdin’ you right now

It’s been a morning today. I blinded The Beautiful One this morning, as I was freaking out, trying to find the musical mask. That was at, and I know this time, because I looked; 3:16 am. I tried looking for it in the dark. I couldn’t find it, but I did find my other mask, so I put it on. Then I got up, and went to the bathroom. Podrick was already going crazy. He was making all sorts of noises as he ran from one end of the place to the other. Then back again, then just one more time. He was talking the entire way. I only had to get up a couple times to whisper/yell at him, and to pick up the Switch controllers. Eventually, I managed to fall asleep again. I did wake up briefly when the automatic feeder fired at 5:30, then I was out again for another hour.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s not a loud cat for the most part, the best I can say and put into words what he sounds like as he bolts through the house – he’s narrating what he’s doing, and where he’s going. Honestly, it’s kind of cute, as he’s tearing around the house, he’s constantly trolling and vocalizing.

It wasn’t a bad sleep, I think though, I’d rather have a hard time falling asleep, perhaps – than getting up early. But that’s just me. We’re both awake, and it’s a bit of a gray day out there. But, it should be getting sunnier this afternoon. We’ll probably head over to the second hand store, depending on the wind speed, maybe we’ll walk over. It’s supposed to be a high of 60°.

The next two days are ours. Not a lot of plans for us. There’s going to be some wrestling, the above mentioned second hand store, video games, and some yummy foods. So we’ll figure out the rest of the activities. It’s too difficult to figure out with only one coffee in me so far. After I hit publish, I’ll refill our mugs.

It’s Tuesday, my dudes.

The world started with a crash. That crash: Podrick manhandling his food dish to knock it into its side, so the lid pops off and food falls out. Thankfully, it was almost empty, so I don’t think he got a lot out of it. It got refilled this morning. He also got a bell ball taken away, and thrown out, because he was playing with it while it was still dark out.

Good morning everyone! I hope all y’all had a great sleep. The Sunday shift wasn’t too bad yesterday. It is freakin weird to leave work at the end of the shift, and have it still bright out. I told my young co-worker that we’ll just get used to the day light being awesome, we’ll be very surprised the first time it gets dark at 3 in the afternoon.

Back to work this afternoon. Then I have two glorious days off to vacuum the place, and then return it, because I forgot to on Saturday when I cleaned the pellet stove out.

We’re still on snow watch here. It’s not calling for too much. If what’s on the screen is to be believed, we should be getting, over two days – 4-6 if the maximum of what’s expected actually falls. I’m thinking we’ll either get an inch, or nothing. But we’ll see.

And if I smell like smoke, I’ma light it up

So yeah, here we are. I’ve been up since around 4. I couldn’t regulate my temperature. I was so very warm, so I move up a layer, then I was freezing. I couldn’t find a happy position that kept my temp where I wanted it. I made it to about 6:15, and said, fuck it. Time to start the day.

We started the day by getting dressed and running out into the street like we were going to protest something. But we were taking pictures of goddamn nature, people. It’s our towns own little solstice. The rises from the road, and looks pretty awesome.

Last night at work, my co-worker and I watched the Artemis II crew make it back to earth. It was very cool to watch. I didn’t get to watch the launch, so it was so awesome to see them literally fall out of the sky.

Day off today. And it’ll be partially busy. I have chores to do here. Then brunch. And I have to head over to Shady Acres and clean the stove. My parents are going to be heading into the USA for time away from cancer. I hope they have a great day.

I really need more coffee.

You call me on my car phone with that je ne sais quois you say you need a little of my ooh-la-la

Good morning. I’ve been mostly awake for a while. We’ll leave the morning alone with that lone sentence. He’s in full asshole/feral mode today. I’m pretty much done with him this morning. Pippin isn’t too impressed with him either.

Yes, once again it’s Rex Manning day. So that automatically makes the day just a little bit better. We’re back into a bit of a cold snap out there. It rained for an hour or so last night. And it was just starting to snow while we were pulling ourselves out of bed.

So let’s get the day started! Coffee for everyone!

If I look a little drunk, it’s ’cause I drank some

Podrick has been Podrick this morning. I kept waking up, hearing him do random bullshit throughout the house. I got up once to see WTF he was doing. I thought he was up in the toilet shelves. Nope, he was playing with an empty soda box in the kitchen.

Now remember, I’m double masked at this point. I stumble out of the bedroom and lift just one side, so I have one eye out. I see what he’s doing and do an about-face and head back into the bedroom. No I don’t know why, but I’m moving like I’m walking down the street.

Remember the two masks?

Because, I didn’t. I almost did a face plant in the space between the bed, and the closet. Once I felt the corner of the bed, I stoped, righted myself, and crawled back into bed.

But I’m slowly starting the day here. We’re up, Podrick is mostly mellow right now. I’m almost ready for a second cup of coffee. And a couple of more minutes, I’ll be able to feed the cats.

It’s Tuesday motherfuckers. And that means screaming into the void.
