Well, it's back to the grind after another weekend off.  I was going to post yesterday to discuss my dismay with the Super Bowl, but I just didn't have the motivation.  I thought I would give you all time to get back into the grove after the weekend and post today. I'm going to say it, the Super Bowl sucked and I had really hoped it was going to be a good game.  It had two great teams and two awesome quarterbacks, but alas, my wish did not come true.  Even though I did not care who won, it was quite boring and the commercials also were awful!  Needless to say ..read more

  What can I say, a Friday and the Super Bowl this weekend - it doesn't get much better for this guy!  It's been a looongg and cold week and I am ready to just veg out on my couch and watch the big game with my two favorite furry boyz.  If I am to speak the truth, the furry boyz are much more interested in the snacks that will be consumed, rather than the game, but to each their own. The celebration for Super Bowl this year is a bit different with COVID.  The party my friend has been throwing for over 20 years is cancelled and everyone is just hanging home this year.  ..read more

  Today is February 2nd, Groundhog Day, and guess what - that weaselly little bastard saw his shadow.  Six more weeks of winter for us!  That was perfect timing for the fricken snow storm that came in late yesterday afternoon and continued throughout the evening.  Waking up this morning to 15" of snow on the ground was not the way I wanted to start my Tuesday.  As you can imagine, things only got better as the day went on (insert sarcasm here). I left my home a little early because the roads were shitty and I wanted to get to work on-time.  I don't know why I b ..read more

  Much to my dismay and disappointment, I received a text around dinner time last evening letting me know that the furnace was up and running.  Unfortunately for me, that would mean back to work on Friday morning. ?  I broke the news to Cooper and Milo that their best bud would not be spending the following day with them feeding them snacks and taking long naps - needless to say, I could see the sadness in their eyes. When I woke up this morning and took Cooper out, it was still really cold (below zero) and fortunately, he didn't waste any time completing his business and we we ..read more

I'm sure you were on pins and needles wondering if we were plowed out from our snow storm (click here for recap); well, the truth is our plow guy did not return through that evening.  It actually ended up not being a major problem because we did not receive quite as much snow as they predicted.  The problem we did encounter was the temperature dropped dramatically and it is dangerously cold now.  Wind chills are in the negative numbers and the actual air temperatures are not much higher.  As if that wasn't bad enough, The Nuthouse furnace decided this would be the most op ..read more

  Welcome to my Tuesday in Hell, Nutties!  In my area of the country, we are under a snow advisory, which means the snowy, cold shit is coming, it's just a matter of when.  When I showed up for work today, I arrived prepared with warm clothes and snow boots.  I had a feeling that I was going to need them and gosh-darn it, I was right again. I think maybe I should get a lottery ticket. As you may remember, our last snow storm was a complete cluster-fuck!  The Boss hired his "friend" to be our snowplow guy and guess what, his "friend" is a fricken' flake too (click here ..read more

I am embarrassed to say that ever since 2021 has started, I am having a very difficult time getting myself motivated to do much of anything.  I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, I really don't want to go to work and I am not really interested in dealing with other humans.  This surprises me because although I don't love work (who does) and on numerous days it annoys me beyond compare - I don't really (really) hate it.  When I am in a bad mood, it doesn't really worry me.  I usually chalk it up to everyone has a bad day and move on; but my bad days seem to be ru ..read more

No, this post isn't about another visit from our favorite bear, Yogi (click here for recap), but I, for one, have been missing his visits.  I hope he is okay and just enjoying some well deserved sleep and slumber (yes, I am jealous).  Maybe he will be back to visit once he gets up from his "long nap". I forgot to mention last week that The Nuthouse would be closed on Monday.  Martin Luther King Day is a national holiday, so we were closed.  I enjoyed my three-day weekend immensely.  I started a new book and watched some TV....yup, my life is VERY EXCITING! On my way ..read more

I thought this week would get easier as the days progressed, but Tuesday came in like a dark cloud.  I think I am in a rut - the weather is cold and it is dark when I drive home and dark when I get up in the morning.  I think sometimes it just makes me a bit depressed.   When I arrived today, it was good to see Frack swimming around his tank thoroughly enjoying his mere existence.  As you might remember, he had a roommate named Frick who met his fish-maker a while back.  I have considered getting Frack a new partner in crime, but considering how The Boss views o ..read more

Happy Monday Nutties!  I know I was a bit quiet last week, but admittedly, it took me a bit longer to get back into the swing of things after our extended holiday than I expected.  On top of  not really wanting to be back to work, I had to finish up the year-end crap.  Let's just say last week was life-sucking!  But, on the positive side, it's over now; I have closed out 2020 and am moving on to 2021 full force! As expected, The Nuthouse is as crazy as it was in 2020 (I don't see that changing anytime soon).  I have noticed that The Boss has adopted a new routi ..read more
