12 drummers drumming

Shawshank, December 12, 2023

Here we are again, o dark thirty. I’m a broken record, but I slept like the dead. It only took mere minutes for me to drift off to sleep. I think I was up, and out to the bathroom around 2 or 3. Or I just woke up and look at the clock. I really can’t remember. The next time I woke up, it was 6:58. Come on! Why couldn’t I just wake up when the alarm went off?!

But here we are.

Awake.

It wasn’t a bad day at work last night. Kinda slow. But we got it done, and made more money than first shift. The night crew kids are very nice, and so much patience for an old dude like me. So far, I get a long pretty well with everyone. I’m on my third week this week, and things are starting to click. Slowly. But they’re clicking.

Today is the last day off until Sunday I believe. Two opening shifts then a closing shift, and then Saturday shift – 9-6. Should be too bad. And I should be getting my first pay check on Friday.

Nothing major planned for today – heading over to the second hand store, and the post office. We gotta pack up the package for the in-laws today. Other than that, nothing is planned. Which is nice.

I’m gonna end this today, I need to get more coffee, and do some other things. But I have a snuggly Chaucer. He’ll be mad that he needs to move, but he’ll get over it. Happy Tuesday y’all 🙂

Podrick was being Podrick this morning. I couldn’t really hear him, but I could feel Crystal stopping him doing what he was doing. She does her best to keep him off things, and as quiet as possible. She does a great job of trying to control him in the morning….

Hello fellow humans. It is I, Shawshank. I’m home from work, and the queen is putting her dreads in her hair. Later on, it’s breakfast for dinner. Should be good. Work was slow at the start but picked up the closer we got to shift change. I stayed a couple…

And no I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll

September 22, 2023

Ugh. Awake. I was up on and off this morning. The first time, I looked at the clock. Big mistake – 3:44. The next time I got up, and actually got out of bed and used the bathroom, it was around 4:30. The next time was around 6ish m, I…
