Ten lords a-leaping

Shawshank, December 10, 2023

“It’s Sunday, it’s brunch day. Are you ready for a piece of bacon?” – Crystal to Chaucer. Just minutes ago.

The coffee has finished brewing, and Chaucer is in between us, and snuggly and purry. It’s Sunday. And all the light in the world is gone only blackness. Blackness and snow. That is an our life now. Winter is here.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. We got up and did our morning thing, like you do. Coffee, and Dateline. I got up and cleaned off the Hot Mess Express, since I didn’t drive it to work on Friday. I wanted to clean it off before date night. From there, we hopped into my mom’s truck and headed off in an easterly direction to SlightlyBiggerTown.

Shopping went very well. We got what was on the list, and a couple of items that I forgot to put on the list. It was busy. A little busier than normal. When we were finished, we roll up to a check out. No one is there, but the light is on. This is normal. The cashier is usually a couple lanes down, normally bagging. So we get all the product on the belt and someone comes over and tells us that the cashier was there but forgot to shut off her light, and that she would be over when she got her line down.

No problems. Were patient.

After a couple of minutes, I think the manager came over to check us out. We got everything bagged, and headed on our merry way. We hit up the dollar store, and then the pharmacy. After those to places, we popped over to the weed superstore and grabbed a little something something.

We came home and I dropped off mom’s truck and walked back for a very quick lunch. After lunch I got a turn on the switch. Well not a turn, I asked if I could play and an enthusiastic yes from Crystal. I’ve been all work and no play during the week so it was nice to settle down and play.

I played before and after dinner. No Man’s Sky is great, but is very slow. Usually after about an hour and a half of playing, that’s when actual stuff starts to happen. And true to that, I slowly started to move the main story line forward. Then you notice that it’s 9pm. So I logged off and made some hot chocolate for the both of us.

Holy cow, I’m talkative today. Happy Sunday, let’s kick some chores in the balls and claim the day!
