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.
