If I had a dime every time that you crossed my mind well I’d basically be sitting on a big ass pile of dimes

Shawshank, July 12, 2026

It’s morning, and it’s warm. It’s been warm since yesterday morning. We just have to make it through today. But I wanted this heat. I welcome this heat.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. Slow. But it was still a good day. Bing Bing switched shifts with an employee I don’t have a nickname for her, as this is the second time it worked with her. But like I said it was a slow shift. I think most people were hiding inside, or at the lake. I know one of my customers put in a lake at a dug out(?), and said he was going to go for a swim with his goat.

Aren’t small rural towns the best?

So there wasn’t really a rush yesterday. Just random people coming in for the most random (for a small town gas station) things. One person came in. If he’s not getting gas, he gets one drink, wishes us an excellent day and leaves. Yesterday, it was neither, but a box of bandaids.

That small picture above? Oh that’s our drink cooler. It usually sits at 35°. Yesterday, it didn’t go lower than 47°. I had hoped that it would cool back down, so at one point no one had been into the store or opened any of the cooler doors for a half hour. The temperature, didn’t go down. I texted BossLady around 8 or so to tell her. But it was a Saturday. So she was probably busy.

Today will be a somewhat busy day. Since golden boy at work only works opening shifts, he gets all the opening Saturday shifts, which messes with me timemaxxing. So today, we’ll head into SlightlyBiggerTown for some much needed supplies – including laundry soap, and we’ll do the rounds there, and come home, where I’ll start laundry.

But first, coffee.

It’s Sunday, and the first of three have died down in the states. Let’s hope it’s a busy day down south as well.

I’m not ever going to go to sleep early again. Bad dreams for a couple of hours. 9:40-3:30 wasn’t too bad, just a little warm. I went to the bathroom, and got something to drink. Back to sleep. That’s when the bad dreams started. I’m not going to go into…

It’s a gray morning this morning. I slept ok. I was today turny. Pippin at one point wanted to snuggle, but couldn’t commit to actually coming over to snuggle, so she walked away. I think it was around six, when I heard a weird sound coming from the bathroom. She…

It’s dark, cold, snowy, and windy outside. With the wind, it’s around -16c. It doesn’t look like we’ve accumulated too much snow, but you can’t tell with the wind blowing it all around. I slept pretty good. Out like a light. I think I woke up briefly around 5, and…
