If you’re gonna be dumb, you better be tough Shawshank, May 23, 2026 The alarm scared the shit out of me this morning at 5am. But I got up anyways, and shooed the kitties out of the bedroom so I could lock Crystal in, and the cats wouldn’t bother her. (Too much) I get up, turn the coffee on, and get dressed. Podrick is sitting very still looking out the window. I get up and slowly walk over to see if I can see what he’s looking at. He’s looking a tiny tabby cat sitting almost below the window. I think Podrick was making friends. I get up and drive to work, and start the day. I get up on the fuel tanks and measure them. Back inside to actually open the store. The second co-worker hasn’t arrived. No big deal, I never know if they’ll show up at 6:30 or 6:45. By 10 of, I’m making the coffee, and text the co-worker directly, and in the group chat that I know that no one will answer because it’s all kids, and it’s before 7am. By 6:55, I’ve called the co-worker (no answer), and texted BossLady. The co-worker and BossLady reply at the same time – both say they’re on their way. I quickly text BossLady that co-worker is on his way and to have a good weekend. All that doesn’t matter, I’m home now, and don’t have to be back into work until Monday afternoon. There’s wrestling for tonight, and we’re having hot dogs and potato chips for dinner. I kind of want a nap, but I can’t, I’m doing the Sunday chores today, because my mom needs our help, so we’ll be going over early tomorrow to lend a hand.

Life The prairie sky. Is wide and high October 18, 2022 Good morning everyone! The cats let us “sleep in” until 7:30. I think that’s a new record. The coffee is brewing, and the cats are having a stare off in the living room. I think they play in the night. Neither of them actually slept on the bed last night. It was like two sharks… Read More
Life Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen pour myself a cup of ambition October 5, 2021 Good morning everyone. This is the second day in a row that I’ve woken up and I’m starving. Which is funny because I ate literally minutes before going to sleep. I can hear wolves or coyotes howling. They just started. Strange little animals. Maybe they’re saying good morning. This is the first time I’ve heard… Read More
Life And when you’re gone, we want you all to know October 24, 2024 Yep, here I am. Awake. Not liking it at all. Up this morning at 4:30am. Yep, the one opening shift in the last 2-3 weeks. I much prefer the closing shift. Just a little more relaxed without the manager there. So it goes. But I’m at home, and I have a Chaucer on my lap.… Read More
