Who will you call up when the plane starts to go down?

Shawshank, January 8, 2026

We climbed into bed last night, kisses were exchanged. Snuggles started. I turned on my sleepy time video, and got comfortable. Within, probably just a couple of minutes, I was out. Dead to the world. That hasn’t happened in a long time. I stayed asleep until Podrick started his shenanigans…

Pick him up at seven and they’re headin’ to the rodeo

Shawshank, January 7, 2026

Morning. Podrick was being Podrick this morning. I don’t know what he was doing, but he landed on the me twice this morning. I ignored the first one, but the second one, I couldn’t. I’m up now. I had a terrible sleep last night. It took forever to fall asleep….

Well, I’m in my own self-inflicted misery

Times get harder give me a fire starter, drench myself up in holy water

Shawshank, January 4, 2026

We’re up again. It’s a new day. Podrick likes to use the bed as a jungle gym, and bound overtop of me, and probably Crystal as well, but I can only talk about me. After 4 or 5 times of him bounding and climbing over me, I mumbled, asking what…

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing ’cause I built my life around you

Shawshank, January 3, 2026

Sleep came quick last night, but I was up and down a lot. Instead of waking Crystal every time I wanted to know what time it was, I just looked at my phone. The first time I woke up it was 12:40, then 3:44, and then the alarm scared the…
