That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking

Shawshank, July 17, 2023

Awake! This is the second time I woke up this morning. I was up around 3, just to go to the bathroom. When I was finished, I snuggled back into bed, and quickly fell asleep again. Yep, that’s right. It’s a sunny Monday morning here in TinyTown. Brunch day. I…

Right between the sound machine

Shawshank, July 16, 2023

At one point I heard Crystal whisper-yell to the cats this morning to stop it with their bullshit. I gather that they were fighting this morning. I’m told that it was Pippin that started the scuffle. I think I slept through the fun. Good morning my friends. It’s a gray…

Shawshank, July 13, 2023

Good morning my friends. I actually almost made it to 7am. I think I kinda woke up, and looked – 6:32. Not too bad. I think Crystal was already awake. But I don’t know for sure, because I looked at the clock and then closed my eyes again. Work wasn’t…

Armed with will and determination, and grace, too

Shawshank, July 12, 2023

Welp, it’s morning again. I’ve been up on and off since around 4 this morning. Between Pippin, unruly sheets, and losing the power of breathing through one’s nose, it was a tossy turny morning. Chaucer is already crawling up on to my lap. Pippin is off doing Pippin things, and…
