I’m just a 40-something bearded guy trying to get a fresh start.

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

Posted on by Shawshank

Spoiler alert: it was a day.

So I walk in to work at 5:30 this morning, and read on the front door that the debit machine is down. No biggie, it should be working now, right?

Nope. We should be getting a new debit machine by Monday, at the earliest. So yeah, we’re 100% cash only. That’s going over well.

But, I don’t really care. I have the weekend off. Monday is for future Shawshank to deal with. So I walked out of there as quickly as I could.

Last night, I got a text from the old BossLady asking for help with her Mailchimp. She wants to send out one more post with all of her auction info on it. I thought I was just going to go and quickly show her how to do it. I was wrong. I told her I didn’t have a lot of time, but I would do what I could for her.

She ended up having to take some customers to show some auction stuff, so I took that as my cue to get the heck out of there. All she has to do is simply follow some prompts and the. It’ll be sent. I believe I’m still on the mailing list so I’ll know when it gets sent.

Good times.

I’m home now, and I’m going to ignore any text messages from her. I’ve done my tour there! The last mailing will be up to her to finish.

It’s date night tonight. I should quickly email the cook and see if they’re open tonight. If so, I have to figure out what I want to eat. Do I feel like breakfast, or wings, or maybe even a clubhouse sandwich? It’ll be an adventure!

But, hey man, free rides just don’t come along every day

Hey hey people. I’m finally home now. I brought Crystal a couple of snacks – some blueberries, and some Italian bread with Italian dressing. She was very excited.

Work was slow, but we got stuff done today. All the sales tags went up, and all that good stuff. But mostly we just took care of the customers that came in.

Just another day and I’ll be off for the weekend. I can’t wait for it. I’m a little tired, so I’ll be… I totally forgot what I wanted to say to finish the sentence. I think that’s my cue to finish this post now.

It’s hard to see even if I close my eyes

I’m here. I’m tired, and it’s too late to nap. But that’s ok. I’ll crash tonight. As soon as I sat down this afternoon at home, Pippin was all over me. We were trying to watch some YouTube shorts, and she was making it pretty difficult, but she’s sleeping on my lap now.

Work was well, work. It was a little slower today, but that makes putting out the groceries a lot easier when there’s no one in the store.

Back in tomorrow morning, wicked early. At this point, I just can’t wait for the weekend. It can’t come soon enough.

We’re having ghetto chicken sandwiches this evening. It’s gonna be yummy.

Everything is bleak it’s the middle of the night

Good morning. It’s a mid shift for me today, so I’ll be going in, in a couple of hours. But right now, it’s coffee and contemplation. I’m trying to wake up, and Chaucer just wanted to get into my lap.

He’s settling now.

The last thought that I had right before I fell asleep- did we go to sleep at 10 tonight, or 11. I’m almost 99.9% sure that we went to bed at 10. I fought the urge to look at the clock, and quickly passed into the sleep realm.

I was awake just slightly before the alarm. And now here we are. It’s bright and somewhat sunny out there. With just a slight breeze.

I may change the shirt that I’m wearing for a hoodie. We’ll see how I feel the next time I go outside. There’s a good chance that I’ll change.

But for now, I need another cup of coffee. Happy Tuesday everyone! May the coffee flow for you.
