Happy birthday to the Beautiful One! Crystal has her anniversary of making one full rotation around the sun! I love you baby! I hope it’s a great day for you! ❤️

The kitty calmer that Crystal bought last week, arrived yesterday morning. So I got dressed, and hit up the post office. Within minutes, t was plugged into the wall, like a glade plug-in. Pretty quickly after that, Podrick huffed straight from the plug in. From there, he pretty much slept from around 11:30ish (?) until he rolled off the couch, for a couple of bites of food. Then he was sleeping again.

He pretty much slept until about 10:30-10:45. That’s when he started to wake up. We kept him on the straight and narrow, until we went to sleep. I turned up my Sleep Daddy, to try and cover up whatever he was doing, while we tried to fall asleep. I only had to reset the talk down once.

Podrick was pretty good this morning. I only felt him crawl across me a couple of times. Then he was thrust out of the kingdom. I only heard the door knob rattle a couple of times, then he got bored. But that doesn’t stop the Podrick. Nope he went at that door knob, like the knob owed him money.

Back to work this afternoon. All, well most of the diesel has been removed from my clothes. I’ll be wearing the exact clothes today that I wore Tuesday before everything went to shit. Let’s see what happens today!

It’s Thursday, and I work all weekend. Let’s get some coffee!

Good and happy Monday morning my friends. Of course it’s dark out there. And windy. It was wicked windy last night. I’ve yet to open the curtains to see how windy it actually is. I don’t even know what the temperature. But it’s probably cold out there.

The Patriots lost last night 29-13

It’s a rebuilding year. Or something like that.

We didn’t do too much yesterday. I mean it was the lords day after all. We got up, I think early. It’s been a while since I’ve even made it to 7am in a week or two. Podrick keeps a tight ship. If he wants you up, eventually, he’ll break you.

But, we got up and started our morning yesterday. I know it was early. Maybe 6 am or so. I started the coffee, and refilled the carafe once. I think around 8ish or so, I started the laundry. I didn’t do the rest of the chores yesterday. I was just present in the morning.

I made our breakfast brunch. And lemme tell you, I did pretty good. I’m still practicing with the little egg poaching cups. They turned out better than the week before, and they’ll probably be better next week. Crystal had a toasted bagel with 2 slices of melty cheese, and bacon.

At Shady Acres, I hauled in the remaining bags of wood pellets, then cleaned the stove. It’s not too bad, just a lot to vacuum. But within a half hour, I was back upstairs with everyone else. I put on a special about the Blizzard of 78, and the fallout that happened in Rhode Island. After that, I put on a rodeo, so we weren’t sitting in complete silence while everyone was on their devices.

Back to work this afternoon, and I need to refill my coffee cup. It’s Monday people, let’s start this fucking week!

Thanks to the medication I’m on now, I’m pretty sure I saved my job. Long story short, the kids switched shifts, and then the kid that was supposed to open (who closed last night), slept in. I called him and when he picked up, I said two words to him and hung up.

“You’re late.”

He arrived like 5-7 minutes later (only about 40 minutes late in total). I had already opened, and served a couple customers. I didn’t scream or rant or anything like that. I think I was more frustrated and stressed.

It’s been a day so far.

I wore shoes that weren’t Adidas today. First time in probably 10 years. I bought some shoes yesterday that were on clearance. A pair of sketchers, and a pair of reeboks. I wore the sketchers this morning. They were pretty comfortable. Light. Different. But comfortable.

It’s gonna be a lazy day here. I’m probably gonna do a load of sweaters, as they haven’t been washed yet this season. Maybe a couple of movies. I want to unwind a little so I may play Red Dead Redemption for a bit. Lunch is in the air fryer.

I’m tired, boss.
