Life Hold me close against your skin I’m about to begin lovin’ you Shawshank, October 11, 2023 I’ve been up on and off since about 3:30 – when Pippin, I think, was cold.

We’re watching NBC News, which outsourced to Sky News out of the UK to provide the information to us. Because NBC News Now doesn’t have a weekend crew – they’re usually showing reruns of Dateline. So they have to outsource. I just looked up at the… Continue Reading
Life Pennies and dimes for a kiss Shawshank, October 6, 2023 Finally. Finally it’s Friyay. Thank fucking god. This has been a long, long week. But here we are. All that separates us and the weekend is just one shift at work. Can I do it? Yes I can! Ok, enough toxic positivity for today. Save that for work. It’s Friyay,… Continue Reading
