I am a real American fight for the rights of every man

Posted on by Shawshank

Yep, it’s a little later in the day for me posting, but, yeah, it is. I had to be up wicked early, because for the first time in what feels like months, I had an opening shift. Podrick was running around like a crazy person this morning, and I credit him with getting me out of bed on time. The alarm was set, but I think the last power outage erased the radio station, so it wasn’t going off. I got up, and checked the clock on the stove. Yep, time to turn the coffee on.

Podrick was a cat possessed this morning. He was getting into everything. And of course, I’m trying to keep him quiet so hopefully Crystal would be able to sleep past 5am. I don’t think she managed to sleep past then because, you guessed it; Podrick. I managed to keep him mostly quiet, as I sucked down half a pot of coffee. I gave The Beautiful One a kiss, and headed to work.

Work was slow. Very slow. It’s one of the reasons why I asked to be put on as many nights as possible. So yeah, wicked slow. It wasn’t even starting to pick up as the closers were coming in. But I cleaned a little bit, and really just tried to look as busy as possible. Thankfully, BossLady wasn’t feeling it either this morning, so it was a little more relaxed.

Since yesterday was a nice quiet day here, I was playing Balatro, and was totally in the groove. I managed to win, unlocking a new deck, and a couple of rounds later was the wall that I was expecting a lot earlier. So that ended that run. I figured that I couldn’t get much better last night, so I closed out the game, patted myself on the back.

Yesterday morning, before we really did anything, Crystal put on the livestream from Moscow, Idaho for the sentencing hearing for BK. We listened to the impact statements while Crystal read the live comments on Reddit. The true crime people are really a bunch of entitled cunts. They demand all the information, and complain when they can’t get the information. They want all the answers, but they’ll never get all the answers that they want.

Yep, he’s dead. I used to watch him on Saturday mornings. I think he used to be my favorite wrestler. Later on in life, I’ve heard stories of how much of an asshole he actually was. Nuff said.

We’ll be heading out to the second hand store here in town in a little while. Maybe we’ll find some awesome treats at a great deal. But, probably not. Happy Thursday!

Times have changed and times are strange here I come but I ain’t the same

It’s been a morning already for The Beautiful One. She’s been up since the ass crack of dawn, again. Podrick is just being Podrick, as usual. He’s been going strong for a few hours already. He’s quietly eating right now. Hopefully he eats, and goes down for a nap, to give Crystal a little time to relax as well.

This bombshell news came down the wire early yesterday afternoon. I watched it as it hit each news outlet. Then I was off to work for the afternoon. Work wasn’t too bad. My coworker was feeling better, and he was a lot more talkative. We had a delivery, which made me happy, because that meant we had something to do. Nope. It was a new rep, I think. After the driver put his freight away(m, there was 2 boxes left. I did one and a half, lol. But it got done. It was a slow evening. After about 5 or 6, people just dropped off. I think it was a mix of the weather – it was smokey, and drizzly with terrible air quality from the wildfires up north.

After this little day off, I believe I’m working until Sunday evening. Without looking at my schedule, it’s just the start of my work week tomorrow. It’s all good. Gotta make that bread, donuts, green. What ever you wanna call it. But not today. Today is mine.

I got a new life you would hardly recognize me

we laugh. we cope. it’s just ✨moist vibes✨ outside rn. no wind, just sadness and puddles. kinda romantic tho ngl 🫶

work wasn’t too crazy last night tbh 🙏 which was clutch bc my coworker was “sick” (read: barely moved all shift 😮‍💨). he didn’t really do much but we got thru the afternoon, slowly vibed our way into evening mode 😌

i filled a couple propane tanks earlier on, then like two more later. it’s not the worst thing ever tbh — like i don’t mind doing it, it’s just the SMELL?? 😭😭 why does propane gotta stick to ur clothes like it’s emotionally attached 💀 literally walked around smelling like flammable sadness for hours

but fr what can you do. it’s part of the gig ✨

back to the grind this afternoon 😮‍💨 but first — kitten time & vibing w The Beautiful One™️ 🫶 Podrick’s locked in the bedroom livin his best breakfast life rn 🍽️ been in there like 30 min, just crunchin away in peace while miss ma’am Pippin’s outside touchin grass & taking her sweet time to eat like the ✨delicate queen✨ she is.

we got the news on for now (ugh reality), but soon i’m switching it to last night’s RAW bc priorities 🎤🔥 it’s giving violence, drama, and sweaty men in tights. iconic behavior tbh.

happy tuesday, bitches!! let’s slay the day 🐾💅💥

You had to have the front page, bold type you had to be a big shot last night

Good morning everyone. It’s a bright and sunny day out there with what looks like a slight breeze. Seems like it’ll be a nice day. I slept like the dead, even when Crystal kicked Podrick out of the room and closed the door. Aside from the Friday into Saturday tossing and turning neck pain, yesterday I slept like a baby.

Coffee has been brewed and is being consumed. The kittens a quiet, I believe they’ve put their turf war aside, and are both on the back table enjoying the sun, and the warmth as they look outside. It’s been terribly gray here for a while, so this is really nice for them. As kitties are solar powered, you know.

Back to work this afternoon. Shouldn’t be too bad there tonight. The rodeo is all finished for the year. We remembered that there was a rodeo going on Saturday evening, when it was so slow during the last couple of hours at work. So it should be a normal Monday night. But, I’ll be missing Monday Night Raw, I’ll watch it either tonight when I get home or some other time this week.

I’ll figure it out. Happy Monday everyone!

Two more years and you’ll be done with school, and I’ll be making history like I do

Good morning party people. We’re up and sitting in the couch, on this gray, chilly, rainy morning. The Beautiful One, kicked out Podrick, and shut the door on him. I was out like a light again, and slept until her alarm went off. She, of course, was wide awake. Probably from about 4:30-5am. I don’t know how to help her stay asleep after that time. I really wish I could help her with that problem. It must be so tiring for her.

Work wasn’t too bad yesterday. At one point my coworker asked if it was gonna be busy or not, due to a rodeo the next town over. I had totally forgotten about the rodeo. I said it’ll probably be quiet. And it pretty much was. After 6, business dropped off. We still had people coming in, but it was just a handful of people instead of more coming through before we closed. We did have a couple of barrel racers come through with their mom to get diesel, and to get a propane tank filled up. That was the last large bill that came through. After that it was just the usual locals coming to get cigarettes and snacks before we closed.

Today is chore day, so I’ll be starting that in a bit. It’s too quiet, I think Podrick is planning something. But he’ll be helping me get the laundry sorted. He loves to dive through the clothes piles as they sit and wait for their turn in the washer. It’s cute. He’s like a clothes pile shark. Then we’ll head over to Shady Acres this afternoon for dinner. Work tomorrow afternoon. Coffee now, thankfully. Also, in a few hours, brunch.
