Chicken wing, chicken wing hot dog and baloney

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning everyone. It’s still gray here. It looks like it rained in the night. Ok, I think the farmers got the rain they needed. Now they (and me, and probably Crystal) need hot weather and sun please.

Work last night, was slowish. I worked with GenAlpha – yes I know I need to update the cast page with the newbies. I’ll do that later. I did snap at him just once. He kept asking me what time it was, and I finally just said, dude there three clocks around here. All you need to do is take a step back and two steps to your right, and look. I can’t tell you what time it is every 5 minutes. He checked the time all by himself for the rest of the evening.

Back to work again this afternoon. But I have a few hours to wake up, and hopefully relax my back a little before going back. It’s very prickly this morning. It’ll relax in a while. It’s just being persnickity.

Crystal was up early and got out of the bed when the orange himbo started to wake up. I felt him run across the bed and chase his tail, and then it was quiet and still. Crystal did her best pied piper and drew him into the living room, and he totally forgot to come back into the bedroom whilst I slept. She’s a goddess I tell you.

Good morning, my friends. Once again, it looks chilly, and gray out there this morning. Breezy too. Podrick been awake for a few hours, and has been bouncy around, chasing his tail on the bed for a while. I lost my mask in the night, and one of his claws made contact on my forehead. That’s when I got up, and started the coffee. He’s finally recovered from his busy Sunday, and is totes ready to be a kitten again. I have a feeling since he slept all Monday, we’ll be wired for the day. Hopefully he doesn’t go too crazy all day.

It’s been a really nice weekend off. Well two and a half days off to be closer to the truth. We really didn’t do a lot in the grand scheme of things. Sure, we went for groceries, and other supplies, but really we didn’t leave the house too much, and I’m ok with that. we ate amazing food all weekend, and we helped my mom out a lot.

I got a text from my mom yesterday afternoon – my dad is back in SlightlyBiggerTown from CapitalCity. His hip replacement surgery in the last couple of days, and is back, and will spend a couple of days where he is to get used to the physiotherapy, then he’ll be released and from there, we’re not too sure, but we’ll figure it out.

Back to work this afternoon. But before I kiss The Beautiful One goodbye, we have a couple of hours together. Coffee!

Kissy face, kissy face sent to your phone, but I’m tryna kiss your lips for real

It’s another gray day here. It’s been gray and rainy for about a week now. Chilly, windy, gray, and rainy. I think it’ll be the same today. Looking at the weather app, it’s supposed to be gray for the foreseeable future.

Podrick woke me up this morning by chasing his tail on me. Round and round he goes. But the funny thing is, he catches his tail more than not. He’s a machine when it comes to his tail.

He was a busy busy boy yesterday. Since I did the laundry the day before it was just my usual chores. I swept (Podrick helped by attacking the broom), I did the dishes, and cleaned the bathroom. While I was going that, Crystal was starting to make the spaghetti sauce, by starting with the meatballs. Podrick didn’t know what to do. He watched and helped. He was all over the place.

Then he crashed.

He crashed hard. He fell asleep about an hour and a half before my mom came over. He was out. He slept on the couch beside me as Crystal was getting everything put together. He managed to wake up and play while my mom was here. She loves the little firecracker. He played with her and jumped at her, and even let her hold him briefly. After she left, he was out again.

So I’d say the day was a success. He crashed with us, snuggling Crystal. He’s recharged his batteries in the night, and was up early to make sure he got his tail. But for the most part, it’s not a bad way to wake up. He wasn’t diving at my face. He was just running in circles. He’s a good boy.

She got tricks in the stash, stacking up the cash

The baby kitty was nice enough to let me sleep in a little bit. So thank you, little guy. Now he’ll terrorize for the next couple of hours, and then crash again.

I think my dryer is slowly dying. I’ll have to text the landlord later. I finished using the dryer last night, and just one pair of underwear is still damp. No biggie, I’ll just toss them in the dryer. They tumbled in there for about a half hour, and they were still damp when they came out again.

With the laundry down yesterday, I’ll just be giving The Flat a good once over. I have to clean up all Podrick’s toys. He loves to get them all out then use his ADHD to his advantage, and plays with all the toys. he plays hard, and then he crashes hard.

Later on, we’ll be getting into the kitchen, and creating. On the menu tonight – Scoobi Do pasta, homemade spaghetti sauce, and meatballs w/ raisins. I found a pie for desert, and we have a two foot long garlic bread loaf. Weee gonna eat like kings and queens tonight. With my dad in the hospital, mom will be coming over for dinner.

But before all that. Coffee. Lots of coffee. Oh, and the lord. Today is the lords day.
