There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well

Good morning my friends. It’s Friday! We’ve made it to the weekend. I have tomorrow off, but have to work Sunday. That’s ok, I’m the low man on the totem pole. I understand, and it’s ok.

So we’re sitting here last night watching tv. I think it was Antiques Roadshow, and I get a text. Weird. I look over and it’s old BossLady. She says she has something for me. I told her I was working until 4, and could stop by on the way home. I wonder what she has for me. Crystal seems to think that she might have a Christmas present for me. I have no idea.

So yeah I don’t have to be in until 8, so I have some coffee and I’m slowly waking up. The alarm was set for 6:30, but my mind woke me up at 5 saying that the alarm wasn’t set properly. Spoiler alert; it totally was, and went off without a hitch at 6:30.

So I’m gonna cut this short, I have to get ready for work, and whatever happens at OldWork. We’ll see. But I also think that tonight could possibly be a date night. So that’s a good thing, and totes exciting

It’s so exciting, that it may have wandered into fetch territory. Happy Friyay all!

O, star of wonder, star of night

Well, good morning. It’s dark and still feels cold out there. I was hoping that it would be warmer than when I went to sleep. But anyways, it’s a brand new day. And my last day this week of getting up at the ass crack of dawn. Tomorrow I can sleep in a little. That’s a good thing.

I went to bed last night, and tried to get into the middle of the bed, as to get more snuggles when Crystal came to bed. Again, I didn’t feel her climb into bed. I sure hope that I snuggled her a little.

Work was pretty good yesterday. The morning was busier than the day before, but we were plagued with some printer problems. Hopefully whatever was the problem, it sorted itself out before we get in this morning.

I played Santa Claus yesterday. Stopping at the post office I picked up all the packages for mom, and delivered them as she had an afternoon nap. She didn’t hear me come in and drop them off on the bench, and slip out.

Today – work. After work, I’ll grab Crystal, and pop over to the second hand store, to see if there’s any last minute items to pack in the box due for Florida. Yes, we procrastinate. Good times.

But right now – motherfucking coffee. Let’s go!

It’s the hap-happiest season of all with those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings

Well, shit hello everyone. This post is wicked late, because I totally forgot until just now. I got home at my normal time, and made Crystal some yummy lunch, and plopped down on the couch and played some No Man’s Land.

So I just remembered. My bad, yo.

So here we are. News on the TV, and finalizing plans for Christmas lunch with gramma. We got it all figured out and it’s all good! Woot for getting plans done.

Work wasn’t too bad, a little slow at the beginning but picked up just as I was told it would do. I had some hot cocoa, and managed to snag some day old bagels for the great one back at the house. I took some pictures of the sun rise, and just did my job.

It’s a good job. I’m still getting used to standing and moving for so long. I’m just about back being able to stand and move around for 8 hours solid. That’s a good thing.

So nothing else really to mention today. Maybe tomorrow will be exciting!

I really can’t stay but baby it’s cold outside

Hey hey, bitches. It’s ya boy. It’s very bright outside which was the complete opposite of this morning when it was very dark out. But surprisingly warmish out.

I got up, and shut off the alarm, and stumbled into the bathroom to do my thing, and get dressed. Coffee on, cats fed. I watched a little bit of the news this morning. More on for not noise, but something.

I made my lunch, ate breakfast, and started the Hot Mess. I pull into work and mentally prepare myself to start the day. I much prefer the morning shift – not the waking up at the ass crack of dawn? But because the opening shift has stuff to do, unless second shift got a lot done.

They got a lot done.

So I do my usual morning routine, and then… pretty much both me and the BossLady just didn’t do too much of anything. I mean we did stuff, but since there wasn’t too much to do, we didn’t do anything too quickly. If you know what I mean.

Since there was only two of us, and the boss was putting in her order, I was left to myself to do most of the stuff I was trained for. I got through it without any problems, which is awesome! I can still learn new things! It just takes a little longer for it to sink in.

We’re getting pizza for dinner tonight, since I’ll be working our usual date night. It’s pizza day at the restaurant close to the Flat, and we’ll be getting some free appetizers, yum!

Which is good, because I’m a little peckish.

All I want for Christmas is you

Oh geez, I almost totally forgot to post today. I don’t have a lot of time in the mornings when I have to be up for first shift, so I figured that I would post as soon as I got home. Well, I was tired, so I went onto the bed for a quick hour nap. Pippin chose to come to bed with me, and snuggled right up under my chin, where she stayed for the hour that I was there.

Lawd, 4:30 cones wicked early – especially when I only lightly slept until about 12:30 or so this morning. I was either too hot, or way too cold. I did manage to fall into a nice deep sleep until Crystal’s alarm went off, which I quickly shut off, then 2 minutes later, mine went off. I shut the second alarm off pretty quickly, and started my day.

Feed the cats.

Turn on the coffee.

Eat a quick breakfast of a bowl of cereal.

Start the car, to let it warm up.

Make lunch.

From there I drove to work, and started the day. Turning on the lights, making coffee, verifying last nights counts. You know, all the fun stuff.

It was very slow this morning. Before I left, the delivery came, so for the last half hour, I put as much product out before I left.

So when I got home, I was a little tired, so like I said I put myself down for a nap. It was nice, and when I got up, I was freezing. I’ve slowly warmed up over the course of a couple of hours.

I fed the kitties.

And then I started dinner. Crystal gave me the choice of hamburgers or poutine. I chose poutine, and I am a fat man right now. Crystal just finished the dishes m, and Pippin has taken over the cube. I’m sure Chaucer just decided it wasn’t worth the effort, so I believed that he just went up onto the bed.

Another early day tomorrow. I’m working my first weekend day on Saturday. Then it’ll be the staff Christmas party on Sunday. Oh happy day!
