And I’d like to be a star and shine on you

Shawshank, November 23, 2025

Morning. It’s Sunday, so that means it’s chore day. I’ll start in a couple of hours. It’s not a lot. So it shouldn’t take too long. This afternoon, we’ll be heading to Shady Acres, where I’ll be hauling in about 20 bags of wood pellets. Then, I’ll be cleaning the…

Shawshank, November 22, 2025

I was up early this morning. It was dark out in the living room. I brewed coffee, and got dressed. I slept ok. But, I’m still tired. I had the opening shift this morning. I opened with Bing Bing, and we got through the first small rush. After a couple…

So I don’t know if the headphones playing nice quiet stuff helped me fall asleep, or if I fell asleep on my own. I think I might try wearing my old mask, and the new mask over top of it. We’ll see. I’ll have to figure it out, but it’ll…

I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes

Shawshank, November 18, 2025

I’m awake. It’s dark out. I slept ok last night. With my neck being really sore and hard to move, it was hard to sleep, and even do something as simple as rolling over, woke me up each time. Every time. Then Podrick started his Podrick things, and I knew…
