Midnight, and I’m a-waitin’ on the twelve-oh-five

Shawshank, January 8, 2025

The Beautiful One let me sleep in. I was able to ignore Chaucer in full asshole mode this morning. Repeatedly. For a cat that never makes a sound sure loves to scream just as we go to sleep, and again when he thinks we should get up. Good times. Work was a little crazier than…

I really can’t stay baby, it’s cold outside

Shawshank, January 7, 2025

It was a tossy turny night last night. I just couldn’t really find a comfortable position. Then there was Chaucer singing as we were falling asleep. I’d like to hope that he eventually made it up on the bed. I don’t think it was up when I got up around 1ish to use the bathroom.…

But I’ve been waking up with your voice in my head and I’m tryna send a message and let you know that

Shawshank, January 6, 2025

Good morning everyone. It’s still dark outside, but the news is fresh, and the coffee is hot. We got Chaucer snuggled up in between us. It’s Monday morning, and I have the closing shift tonight. Work yesterday wasn’t not bad at all. It wasn’t busy but the people that did come in we took care…

I can’t do pictures, I’m too busy, I don’t deal with the press

Shawshank, January 4, 2025

I’ve been up since 5 this morning. I wanted to sleep until my alarm went off, but alas, earwax – it never happened. I rolled out of bed and started my day. It’s cold out. This morning was -28°C out there with the wind. I’m still dressed in layers and am shivering. It’s a nasty,…

Whoopsie, made a oopsie 100, 000-dollar oops made me loopy (yeah)

Shawshank, January 3, 2025

I’m awake. I slept like the dead last night. I only got up once in the night to use the bathroom. But until shortly before I woke up, no matter what position I was in, it was a comfortable position. Until just before I woke up, that’s when my nose decided that no matter how…
