That old diesel engine made an eerie sound when Papa fired it up and headed into town

Shawshank, November 25, 2023

Well hello there. Yep, it’s Saturday and it’s completely dark out. I slept pretty good. I don’t know if it was a dream, or real life, but my body had to prove something in the wee hours of the morning. My eyes opened up, and when I could focus them, I looked at the clock:

4:38 am.

I went, oh look at this. I can get up this early! I congratulated myself, and then I rolled over, and tried to go back to sleep, which succeeded. I am impressed. It felt, in the movement, that I could get up at that time, and I was very impressed, and happy about that fact.

But now it’s a couple of hours later, I get up again, this time 5 minutes before the alarm went off. Chaucer was doing Chaucer things over on top of the box with the in-laws Christmas gifts. He was rubbing his face on it, and that’s what woke me up. I picked up polar bear, and just lightly lobbed it towards the sounds.

The sounds stopped, and I fell back asleep until the alarm went off just a few minutes later. He’s now waiting patiently to climb up and lay on my legs. Pippin, is playing with one of her toys. She was still curled up on the bed when we woke up.

The trip to SlightlyBiggerTown went off without a hitch. There were disappointments though. The second hand store wasn’t open. It looked like it was for drop offs only, and then over at the grocery store – we found turkey! But it was wicked expensive, so Crystal opted not to get it. That’s ok.

After getting mom home, I walked back to the Flat, and we just kinda hung out. I popped over to Reddit while Crystal turned in Skyrim, and TikTok. We had a pretty good afternoon. Then it was off to the restaurant for date night. We were the only people in there. We ate, and left.

It was a really Good Friday for sure. And now, we’re gonna make Saturday pretty awesome too. I have no idea what we’re gonna do, but we’ll do it together, and it’ll be perfect. Happy Saturday everyone! Have a great day 🙂

My alarm didn’t go off this morning. I slept in. I woke up at 7:07, slightly confused on why my alarm didn’t go off. I’ll have to figure out why it didn’t go off after work today. The coffee is brewing, and it’s the start of a new week. I think it’ll be a good…
