It’s Christmas time in Hollis, Queens Mom’s cookin’ chicken and collard greens Shawshank, December 19, 2025 Good Friyay morning my friends. It’s the end of the week. All that separates me and the weekend, is a simple 8 hour shift. It’s cold and blowing outside, and we’re seeing snow fall. However with a twist. The wind is blowing so hard, the snow is falling sideways. Good times. It’s forecasted to be windy all day. Work wasn’t bad yesterday. It was slow at the beginning, but we managed to get through just over 100 customers. We’d have a couple, then nothing. Then a burst of 3 or 4. Then quiet again. It was a nice day. My co-worker said what we were thinking: it gets quiet, and we wish for customers, then they’d come, and we’d be like””OMG, why do they have to come?!” Tomorrow, we don’t plan on leaving the house. For me, I don’t plan on leaving the property. Since it snowed yesterday, and today. I’ll have to deal with the snow drifts, and shovel out to the road. I don’t mind shovelling, but it’s not my favourite thing to do. Least I get paid to do it at work. At The Flat, I just do what I’m contractually obligated to do. But that’s a problem for future Shawshank. Future me, most of the time hates past me. Ich hätte gern noch etwas Kaffee. Life blogbloggercoffeejournalmorningsTinyTown

Life I’m gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation September 19, 2023 Good morning. I’m wicked groggy this morning. I woke up at some point in the night. I get up and do my business in the bathroom. I could hear kids or someone yelling outside. It sounded like they were looking for a pet or something. After a couple of yells… Read More
