Well, fuck this city, I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan

Shawshank, July 29, 2025

Good morning everyone. Crystal and the kittens let me sleep in. I didn’t even hear Crystal picking the cats out of the bedroom. My face is stuffed full of snot this morning. I can feel it pressing against my eyes. Like I said to Crystal, thank you for letting me sleep in. I guess Podrick…

Shawshank, July 25, 2025

Good morning everyone. It’s bright and sunny out there this morning. It looks like it’ll be a nice day to work this afternoon. Podrick, for the most part, let us sleep. It wasn’t 5 am when he pulled us out of bed, it was around 7 when he started shit out in the kitchen. So…

I am a real American fight for the rights of every man

Shawshank, July 24, 2025

Yep, it’s a little later in the day for me posting, but, yeah, it is. I had to be up wicked early, because for the first time in what feels like months, I had an opening shift. Podrick was running around like a crazy person this morning, and I credit him with getting me out…
