I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes, Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows

Shawshank, December 25, 2023

Good morning my friends. It’s Christmas Day here, and what Christmas presents have arrived, have been opened. I got a kick ass pair of gloves for work, my digits will totes be warm! I got Crystal something that she said she liked in passing, and she loved it, I think.

This morning I tried to buy White Christmas on Amazon, but I don’t think it worked it’s been a while since I’ve bought something online, it’s supposed to be instant right? I ended up purchasing it on YouTube. Instant. We’re watching it now. And of course, I’m (and I’m sure Crystal is a little) emotional. For Crystal, it’s big sweeping visuals and beautiful music, for me – Christmas. I always get emotional when it’s just me and Crystal.

Today will be an action packed day. First stop is at the Lodge to have lunch with Gramma, and to place a FaceTime call to my aunt and uncle in Florida. That should be fun. Then back to the Flat for a little bit, then to Shady Acres for Christmas dinner. I have to wonder if my dad will put on National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when we get there. We’ll exchange some presents. The bulk of the presents will arrive a couple of days. It was just timing, and my pay check. I’ll do better.

My give-a-fucks are on vacation

April 29, 2025

I’m awake really I am. Podrick was really good this morning, and wasn’t too crazy before I woke up this morning. He was just teleporting around the bed. I was just so comfy – just my neck and my back is all stiff and sore. The neck is from how…

Well, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys when this cute little country girl caught my eye

April 28, 2026

I think I’m getting used to Podrick’s antic in the mornings. Mostly. It was around 6:30 when I finally had enough of a 20lb cat either bouncing across my chest, or bruise inducing feet marching across my legs. But we’re all up, and I have Pippin relaxing on my lap….
