My Mind is a Blank

I promise I had something to write about this morning. I forgot what it was when I started talking to Jen about a bunch of Q nut jobs who went to Dallas to welcome JFK back. First, JFK would be over 100 years old. He ain’t coming back. Second. He’s dead. He ain’t coming back. Third, even if he was magically raised from the grave in a non-zombie fashion, why the ever loving fuck would he come back to Dallas? That would literally be the last place he would go. Also, there was a headline I saw yesterday (I can’t seem to find it now) saying something along the lines of if you get the Covid vaccine it will block whatever allows god to let you into heaven, or something like that. Meaning that god is a T-Rex and can’t see you unless you’re moving, or some shit like that. I don’t want to live on this planet any more.

I haven’t played my guitar in nine days. I haven’t done any recording either. My MacBook is currently on a fact finding mission to Guyana. I’m sure it will be fine. Without the MacBook though, there is no GarageBand and there is no November music project. Here’s hoping I can get back to it over the upcoming, glorious long weekend. I should end up with enough music to call it a finished project. It’s just not going to be good at all. Not even a little bit.

The kids are at their father’s house today. They come back here tomorrow afternoon some time. I wonder if there will be a Hawkeye viewing and maybe some hamburgers or something? There are things already on the agenda for tomorrow so I don’t know if we’ll be able to squeeze the first episode in before bed.

Thanksgiving is in two days. The prep work has been coming along for a while now, but it’s going to start ramping up today. Gobble Gobble, boys and girls. Two work days left before the long weekend… and I have so much work to do. Okay, I’m depressed again. Blah.

I’m Exhausted

I’m so tired. Holy cow, is Robert tired. I mean, I am just completely out of gas.

The kids went over to their father’s house this afternoon and now I am sad. I’m pretty much as sad today as I was happy the last two days. Ugh. Also, I am exhausted and a little brain fried. Half my staff was out today and our biggest customer let us have it with both barrels. Well… that makes it sound like they were pissed at us. No, they just opened new tickets and escalated them all. Yippee. I think we’re leaving them in a good place tonight though so I am happy. I’m still super tired though.

I don’t feel good. Something I ate last night is disagreeing with me today. No clue what, but something. I’m also so tired that my eyes are super tired and now I’m getting a headache. Have I said yippee yet? Yippee.

13 minutes until I am clear to punch out for the day. I am going to make Jen dinner and then… pass out asleep? Maybe. We’ll see. I can tell how excited you are to see how this day ends up. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

That was a Good Weekend

It’s Monday again and it goes without saying that Mondays suck. Mondays sucking is one of the undeniable truths of 21st century existence, am I right or am I right?

Mondays are much easier to take after a whole weekend with the kids though. We didn’t really do anything except for hang out in the living room watching the tube and laughing a lot. It was basically the best weekend ever. The only downside is that at some point this afternoon they are leaving for their father’s house for a couple of days. That’s going to bring the Monday sucking back to it’s normal suck level.

Until that time though, the kids are both in the house and this is as good as a Monday work day can get.

Sleep is a Jerk

Three days in a row worth of totally crappy sleep. What the hell, bro? I think I woke up about six times last night. What the hell, bro?

Today is the day that the christmas decorations are going to start coming out. I know we’re still nearly a week away from Thanksgiving and all but with 50% of the household in college, today, Wednesday, and Thanksgiving itself are pretty much the only days we have left until they actually come home for christmas.

Unfortunately for me, everything is in the cellar and was moved into the storage area when the flood damage was cleaned up. I now need to find it all. I am not looking forward to digging through the piles of stuff. No worries though, I’ll get it all.

Gobble Ho Ho Ho Gobble and all that jazz.

Game of Thrones Recap

My step daughter, Bellana, didn’t start watching Game of Thrones until a couple of years ago so I had to wait for her to finish before we could break it all down. Well, she’s done and we just spent the last hour tearing through our analysis of the last two seasons.

No spoilers, and therefore no details, but suffice to say neither of us were thrilled but also neither of us really want to kill the Davids the way a lot of fans do.

In summation: that was a lot of fun.

Cat Logic

As the cat strolls into my room with a jaunty “meow” or two, I pause to wonder what she’s thinking….

Is she thinking, “when are the kids going to wake up so that I can hang out with them?”

Or is she thinking, “why are the kids’ bedroom doors both shut? I wanna go in there and vomit on their pillows.”

I cannot say for sure what she’s thinking, but if I were a betting man I would guess it was one of those two things…. Probably the pukey one.

Kids Come Tomorrow

It’s Thursday. Work days today and tomorrow and then tomorrow evening the kids come home for a week. Kick ass, dude.

The house is ready. Everything is clean and tidy and set for us to trick them into believing that I magically stopped being a slob over the last few months. I am sure this will fool ’em good.

We get them this weekend, then Dad gets them on Monday and Tuesday, then we get them on Wednesday and Thursday (Thanksgiving), then Dad gets them the weekend after Thanksgiving and then they go back to Vermont. We’ll be right back to the pre-college schedule as if nothing ever happened.

I fear I am going to be in a crummy mood today. I let shit get to me last night and I haven’t gotten past it yet. Rest assured, I am going to be as happy as the proverbial pig in shit come Friday evening. I am really excited to see both of them again.

Oh yeah, I have to move the office chair I was using in Harry’s room to the cellar. He has his own chair and doesn’t need two in his room. Don’t forget, you fat dumb ass loser piece of shit. Get ‘er done, as the saying goes.

Okay, it’s 8:53am so I am going to sign in to work. I have a meeting to go to and a potentially stressful issue from yesterday to get caught up on. Happy Thursday, ya maniacs!
