A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you

Shawshank, December 31, 2025

Good morning everyone, it’s another dark morning out there. It’s almost the end of 2025. Australia is already there. Someone should do something about the international dateline. And time zones. Just think how smooth the international business community if everything was on Washington, DC time. Amirite? Someone should tell him… I’m off for the next…

And tonight we’re gonna make it all come true

Shawshank, December 30, 2025

Podrick was quiet this morning, choosing to walk across me a couple of times. He’s not as much this morning. I slept in an hour longer than yesterday. Yesterday, after getting up, and cleaning up the nights mess, we didn’t do too much. I made brunch, and did the chores. I did a couple loads…

Shawshank, December 27, 2025

I had a terrible time trying to get to sleep last night. I don’t think I was high enough. Finally, after resetting sleep daddy 3 or 4 times, I finally fell asleep. I woke up wondering awake and, checked the time: 4 am. I slept until 4:24, when I got up. I have work today.…

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie’s a hand o’ thine!

Shawshank, December 26, 2025

Good morning, my friends! Happy Boxing Day everyone. The Beautiful One (with an assist by Podrick), let me sleep in until 8:10. Thank you very much. Podrick is currently stalking Pippin. I have to check if SlightlyBiggerTown will be open today. I’d rather do the grocery shopping, and all that fun stuff today, rather than…
