Been drinkin’ since a half past noon

Shawshank, January 29, 2026

Still dark out when we wake up. Podrick has been up for at least 2 hours. He’s been doing Podrick things. Mostly annoying (I think) Crystal. He clomped across me once or twice I think. He’s just been doing bored Podrick things. Can’t really be mad at him for that. Annoying, yes. I don’t think…

Had to tell the landlady I done lost my job she said that don’t befront me

Shawshank, January 28, 2026

Podrick was locked out of the bedroom this morning. He was 4x4ing across me, and digging in the shelves next to Crystal’s side of the bed. So she took him, and removed him. I have no idea what time that was. The wind finally died down yesterday evening. I don’t know when it happened, but…

‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone

Shawshank, January 25, 2026

Here I am. Woke. Up by Podrick lumbering over me multiple times. I swear I’m gonna have bruises all over my legs and hip. He is a heavy little bastard. We didn’t do a whole lot of too much yesterday. We headed out to SlightlyBiggerTown town right after I procured some more fuel. The drive…

She’s the only one who really understands what gets me, she thinks my tractor’s sexy

Shawshank, January 24, 2026

I came to, and it was dark. Sleep daddy’s lo-fi music was still playing in my ears. Podrick was raising hell, as he does on Crystal’s side of the bed, and when he didn’t get what he wanted over there, he’d stomp across my legs. He’d sit on top of the dresser which doubles as…
