Out in the playground in the dark side of town

Shawshank, September 8, 2025

Good morning everyone. With Podrick locked out of the bedroom, and another sleepy time experience for The Beautiful One, we were knocked out until 8:47. That’s when I rolled over and exclaimed “what year is it?” that’s when I knew it was time to get up. The slumber was long, and the limbs were heavy when I heaved myself out of the bed.

We’re up. Coffee is flowing, and the kitties have been fed. I’ve opened the window on the back door, because it’s beautiful out there right now. The kitties are ignoring the laser that just started up. pippin is getting braver and braver. She’s cucks Podrick. He’ll just sit there and watch her eat his food. It’s hilarious to see.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. Considering it’s an open to close shift. I managed to have the store ready to open before Bing Bing knocked on the door. We opened at the opening time, and that started our day. It’s was steady, but not overwhelming. It was actually a pretty not too bad day. I only had to practice asking Bing Bing not to whistle – I told him that I could hear his single note across the store over the AC, and behind a closed door. To his credit, he did stop.

Sanity restored.

We’ll be heading to SlightlyBiggerTown for supplies. I just didn’t feel like doing it after work on Saturday. So we’ll go out in a little while. Once we get back, I’ll start the laundry. It’ll be a good day. Plus RAW is on tonight. So let’s get some!

We’ll live to survive our paradoxes

May 27, 2021

It’s bright and sunny out. The birds are chirping. That means it’s a weekday. Probably Thursday, if my internal clock is correct. I had a pretty good sleep last night. Warm and snuggly. Did you know that TinyTown has a door to door fish salesman? I sure didn’t. But I…

Kicking back on your couch, making eyes from across the room

January 17, 2025

Good morning everyone. I really didn’t want to get out of bed, as the bed was just so comfortable. It was just so lovely. Then Chaucer started to scream. So that’s when I slowly rolled out of bed. It looks like a post-apocalyptic wasteland out there. We’ve had high winds…
