Growth is painful, growth is hard it is beautiful, and it can leave you feeling hungover

Shawshank, August 13, 2026

Good morning. It’s a slightly cooler, way more gray outside this am. I opened the curtains in the kitchen, and was greeted by five crows, and a squirrel. We watched them for a little while, then I made us a couple cups of coffee.

Back to work today – for 5 days (in a row?!) it’s shouldn’t be too bad, the kids are still learning to shut down the store at night, so I’ve been supervising, and doing the non-keyholder tasks. I’ve only worked with 2/3 , but they’re doing very well.

Since it slowly getting cooler, I’ve been sleeping a lot better, and I think Crystal is sleeping better too. That’s always a good thing. So we’ll start out shifts and grind and fight for every dollar today. Then tomorrow, and so on. We got this.

Fuck yeah, we do.

It’s fucking cold out there everyone. Fall has come to North of the Wall. It feels like 20° out there. We are not impressed. I’m mostly dressed, but sadly I can’t go out in what I’m wearing. So yeah I can’t wait for the handy man to fix our furnace….
