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.

Burned out like the prom queen we’re all mirrors and smoke rings

March 1, 2026

It took a hot minute to fall asleep last night. I wasn’t high enough. The sleep daddy that I chose wasn’t doing it for me. After trying, and resetting the video 4 or 5 times, I put it in one that I know would work. I closed my eyes –…
