Tag: up early

Ain’t afraid to get a little bit of mud on the tires

Like Crystal, I don’t think I can sleep in the morning. I was up early again. Podrick was bopping around, but I don’t think he was really factoring in to it. I was warm, and my face is stuffed up big time.

The weekend wasn’t bad at all. It’s nice to have two days off in a row. You can’t kind of recharge a little in those days. We got shit done the first day, then got some more shit down on Sunday. But Sunday was a little more relaxed. I played video games.

Me. I played them.

Most of the day, and into the evening.

But now, back to reality. Work for the week. But right now, it’s bright and sunny out there. And for the few seconds that I was outside to grab this mornings featured image. It’s not too bad out there this morning.

The table has been set up in the back door. This is about the only time that they sit side by side – awake. Sure they snuggle and cuddle off the shelf, but they’re sleeping at that point. The back door brings people togather.

Coffee refilled. Let’s fucking goooo!

The thing about a small town, word’s gonna get around

It looks gray, damp, and cold out there this morning. Spring on the prairies is a nasty business. Nasty, until the morning you wake up, and everything is green. It kinda sneaks up on you. However, it was a really nice drive into SlightlyBiggerTown. Since it’s a long weekend this weekend, the grocery store wasn’t as empty as we’re used to.

We made good time to the next town over. First stop; the pharmacy. Crystal needed some eyelash glue, so we stopped in there and looked for what Crystal needed. She couldn’t find what she was looking for, so we hit up the town general store to look for a child proof door knob thing. Couldn’t find one, so off we went to the grocery store.

Like I said, it was a lot busier than we’re used to. The first half of the store was pretty empty, because it’s a more open area, as it’s the bakery, the fresh cooked food, and the vegetable area. It’s always more difficult, when you’re looking for something for dinner, before you’ve even eaten lunch, so we headed into the general area for the meat and potatoes of the grocery shopping experience. Simone for the last 3 or 4 shopping events, we haven’t had a list; we’ve been shopping by vibes.

After the grocery store, we only had a couple more stops to go. We hit up the weed store, I team across the street to the vape store, and then we drove to Subway. We grabbed our sandwiches, and made the 30 minute drive back to TinyTown.

We ate our Subway, and I put on angry science man. I fell asleep for the end of the video, and since I had Pippin on my lap, I asked Crystal to grab the controller. For the next couple of hours (with massive help from The Beautiful One) I did stuff in Saints Row 4.

After that, NXT’s Stand and Deliver. Which was fun. Some of the matches went the way I hoped, and some didn’t. Our hero, Joe Hendry had a great match, where he valiantly tried to defend his title against three other wrestlers in a Fatal Four way match. But sadly, he lost the championship.

Chore day here. Shady Acres this afternoon. But until Shady Acres, it’ll be a relaxing morning. I might even play more Saints Row.

Coffee first. Happy Easter, pagans!

I like big trucks and I cannot lie all y’all rednecks can’t deny when I roll up in this jacked up and I back ‘er up

It’s bright out this morning. The light was creeping through my two masks. It’s too damn bright here. And of course Podrick was being Podrick. I think he’s getting a little better. Or, I’m slowly adapting to his chicanery. I’d really like to think that he’s slowly getting better, but since Crystal is up before me, I’m sure her post this morning will state when His Podness started his bullshit this morning.

With some professional bullshit going down yesterday morning, there was an emergency schedule change for just about every employee yesterday. With the new schedule for the next week I actually got this weekend off. So we’ll be heading into SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies.

Other than that, absolutely nothing. Maybe some video games this afternoon. Probably wrestling this evening. So let’s get this day started. I need more coffee m, and some raisin bread.

Yep only three paragraphs this morning. So deal with it 😎

I’m tired out here on the road I’ve spent too many nights on my own

Good morning to everyone out there in internet land. It’s a cold and froggy day out there. I know it’s cold, because I’ve already been outside; to take that picture. And the fog looks worse IRL. The cameras can never pick it up.

I have to really find a good volume to fall asleep to. I like it more on the quiet side to fall asleep. Too loud, and it’s well, too loud. But the same volume at 1 or 2 am? Way too quiet. But then I risk, if I turn it up, to be wide awake if sleep daddy starts to talk.

So we got up a little early today because, Podrick was totally using all of his energy to annoy us into getting up. It worked today. Again, I couldn’t get the right volume, and it’s spring, so that means I wake up and my face is plugged up, effectively turning me into a mouth breather, that for some reason can’t get enough oxygen into his lungs by breathing through his mouth.

It’s weird.

I need more coffee. It’s Thursday, bitches. What’re you gonna do about it?

Sitting here, missing you something strong

So we (probably only me) got to sleep in just a little bit. I was up numerous times, due to the Pod of Rick. Otherwise known as Podrick. He’s been active for a few hours now. It’s also my fault as well. I get up and use the bathroom. No matter how much I try to be quiet. I don’t even run into things. But 9 times out of 10, he’ll lay across my feet as I use the toilet.

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. We didn’t just sit on our asses and do nothing. We sat on our asses, then did a few things, and then we did nothing again. It was really nice. We did (in no order):

  • Second hand store. I found some button-downs, and Crystal found a nighty.
  • I ran up to work to grab something for dinner. Fuel prices went up, so I of course I had to get some gas.
  • I shovelled. It actually went quicker than I thought it would.
  • I played some Burn-out. Then I tried Saints Row IV. It’s fun. I’m basically Neo.
  • Had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner
  • We watched NXT and made fun of people
  • Crystal had a nice bath.

That was the day. Nothing major, just a solid relaxing day. It’s the first of April, and that means it’s April Fools’ Day today. I have a photo that I’ll submit to the employees group chat later on today. We’ll see how that goes over.

So yeah, that was the day. I’m pretty sure that it’s Wednesday. And on Wednesday’s, we have another cup of coffee. So I’ll be grabbing that in a couple of minutes. And hey, at least it’s not snowing out there. Spring is coming. And don’t forget; winter is coming.
