But everything looks better when the sun goes down

Shawshank, March 26, 2024

Another day, another dollar. Before taxes. I’m tired. How hard would it be to just have one restful night a week? A month? I’m not greedy. I slept well I guess last night. The alarm didn’t scare me. But I just don’t feel rested, or myself. I’ll live. Work wasn’t…

Wake up late, whine and weep

Shawshank, March 25, 2024

It’s bright, but chilly outside. The wind is totes making it colder out there. I’m glad I’m home. And even better? It’s freakin wing night! I slept like the dead last night. Again, I don’t think I moved. And when the alarm went off, I jumped, and was convinced that…

Shawshank, March 22, 2024

I was in a deep sleep when the alarm went off this morning. This, I’m super groggy this morning. I’m not looking forward to getting up at 4:30 in the morning next week. But hey, it’s Friyay. When you’re closing, it just doesn’t hit the same way. But anyways, it’s…

Them baggy sweat pants and the Reeboks with the straps 

Shawshank, March 21, 2024

Yep. It’s another day, another blog post. I simply crashed last night. We went to bed a little early, and I don’t know about Crystal, but it took a couple of ticks for me to fall asleep, but when I did, I was out like a light. The only problem…
