Pretend you’re not a mess, be the happy family in the front pew

Shawshank, March 2, 2026

Podrick got me up a little early this morning. He had the straw out of one of Crystal’s water jugs. I took it, but I know if I tried to go back to bed, he would escalate. It’s was 6:30. I had already been up once, maybe 20 minutes earlier.

So I’m up. I closed the door to the bedroom with Crystal, and Pippin in it. Hopefully Crystal will be able to sleep for a little while longer. She needs the sleep more than me. Podrick is being OK right now. He’s just following me around because he wants to be fed, but since Pippin eats in the bedroom, he has to wait.

I have to go over to Shady Acres today. I have to clean the pellet stove, and haul in probably 10 (oh god, I hope it’s just 10) bags of pellets. I’ll do that after my chores, and brunch here. So probably by 1 or so.

Two days off to do as little as possible. Think it’ll happen? Coffee first.

If it’s Monday, that means I got back to work this afternoon. With just one short day off, I’m now forced to go back to work, lest we start to live in the truck, and the Hot Mess Express. We don’t want that. We didn’t do too much of anything…

White people taco night! Back from work, and we’re over $400 poorer. I picked up the brake rotors (front and rear), brake pads (front and rear), and an oil filter. I’ll get the oil once we’re ready to do the oil change. Hopefully Saturday, but if needed maybe on Sunday…
