Life I’ve been thinking about setting my house on fire Shawshank, February 25, 2026 Oh lawd, 4:30 came early this morning. You know what came earlier? 4:18. That’s when I rolled out of bed this morning. I had to be at work for 5:30. I got up, and noticed the cats weren’t around anywhere. I looked in the bathroom, and they were snuggled on… Continue Reading
Life She’s on the highest dose of Prozac a woman can take Shawshank, February 22, 2026 The forces of the morning (and Podrick) tire me from my slumber early this morning. I tried ignoring him.

We’re getting closer to when I actually want to get up. And, I would really like it, if I wasn’t the main through-fare to get anywhere in the bedroom. I wouldn’t… Continue Reading
Life So why not be where the lights are shining on me Shawshank, February 14, 2026 I did not fall asleep easy. Nor did I stay asleep well. I think it took about an hour and a half to 3 hours to fall asleep. Then up around 3 to see what time it was. Then, 4:30. Relief hit me. Another half hour before the alarm goes… Continue Reading
