So this guy comes in today wearing a half mask respirator with the pink filters and he gets upset because we can hardly understand what he is asking for. All that I heard was “Mmmmfft mmm rrrmmm mmmrtf”.
I guess I was the rude one in this encounter.
General Post
Darkness envelops us once again and I’m all alone by myself just as the wind in the sky that’s paled by the moon on a cold winter’s night. I want to pull up the blankets and snuggle in deep until I’m surrounded by warmth.
A million thoughts are running rampant through my head and most have no answers to the obvious question that is ever present on my mind. There is the worst kind of loneliness to feel once again. The empty feeling returns once again into the pit of my stomach as it aches in hunger.
Night shadows appear and flicker across the room as the lights of passing cars drive by my house. Creatures of the night dart in and out of shadows like mice trying to dodge the attention of a cat. The dark removes the colours of the day leaving only black and shades of grey to paint the room.
Sleep. It’s what I need to rest my mind as it races with the rhythms of my thoughts.
It’s that time of week once again to see where my lil’ pea brain takes me.
- It’s Black Friday and I have to work today. Oh lucky me. This is the first Friday after Thanksgiving that I’ve worked in I dunno how long.
- I fixed a great Thanksgiving dinner. Too bad I have all of these leftovers to eat now. I think I’ll get sick of turkey soon enough but I do have all of these turkey drippings to continue to separate the fat from. That’s liquid gold that I’ll freeze for later use.
- It’s hard to get out from underneath warm blankets right now. It’s rather cool in the mornings here in central Minnesota during this time of year.
- I’m finding out that I’m adjusting to my new economics faster than I had anticipated. I think I’ll be able to stretch out my 401K longer than I had originally thought.
- There is none of that icky bad white stuff outside and none forecasted for quite a while. WTH? This is Minnesota for crying out loud! What am I saying? I musta lost my damn mind.
There ya have it. Feel free to comment and/or leave a note describing your Black Friday experiences and deals that you took advantage of if you want.

I decided that I wanted to get in a walk before supper. Mainly because I needed the steps and also because the mini lights that I attached to one of my canes are burnt out and I forgot to get new batteries this afternoon for them.
It was a good time for a walk in central Minnesota. The cool air nipped at the tips of my ears and nose. I gotta remember to wear some ear coverings now that the temps cool off just as fast as the sun goes down. The geese have flocked together and will be headed south just as soon as the ponds and lakes freeze over. The ducks winged thru the air like a pair of mini fighter jets on their way to who knows where. The smell of burning wood from fireplaces gently wafted on the air. Someone was home beside a burning fire in the fireplace.
The weather will remain like this for another week and then who knows where we will be. It looks as if November may fade into December with a little of that icky bad white stuff falling from the sky if the weather forecast is correct. Day fades into night and the temps have dropped even further. I suspect Big Boy will snuggle in on my bed to stay warm through out the night.
