That was pouring like an avalanche comin’ down the mountain

Shawshank, June 16, 2026

Good morning my friends, it’s a bright, but gray day out here in the middle of nowhere. There’s some road work going on about a block away. You don’t hear it too often around here.

Podrick was a very good boy this morning. I think he only crawled over me maybe, once. He did try and get in the window a couple of times, and Crystal just swept the legs. What got me out of bed this morning was a combination of things:

  • Couldn’t breathe
  • Too warm
  • Too chilly
  • Couldn’t hear sleep daddy
  • Sleep daddy way too loud
  • Technically it was time to get up
  • Podrick is starting to circumvent security protocols

So yeah, it wasn’t him that got me up, it was a combination of things, resulting in me lurching out of bed like a half asleep zombie. I got up, stumbled around, turned on the coffee, and then threw my body in motion once again to head to the bathroom to start my day.

But I’m on a few days off. Maybe one day this week, we’ll head to Other SlightlyBiggerTown so Crystal can check out the second hand store. Plus it gets us out of the house, and conversing with other humans. That’s always a good thing. We’re not rich enough to be “eccentric”, and “shut-ins”. Maybe if I’m really good, Crystal will say either, “you deserve Dairy Queen.” Or, “yeah, A&W sounds amazing!” Or, “yeah I guess, Subway will be ok”.

But we’ll figure that out later. The only problems in front of me right now, is I cannot breathe through my nose, and I need more coffee.

Tuesday? Tuesday. Happy Tuesday!

I’m pretty sure the alarm scared me. I did have to get up in the night, but it was a lot later than normal – I think it was either 5:30, or around 6:30. I can’t remember. All I can remember is trying to get out of bed as quietly…

It’s bright and sunny out there, so while Pippin was eating her breakfast, and in between making sure Podrick wouldn’t jump up onto the table to steal her food, I opened the back door, and then the front door. Then back to guard duty. Crystal took the Rick of Pods…

In the velvet darkness of the blackest night

Woke up about 5 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. Go up and dressed, timing everything just right, that all I got this morning was a simple good morning from my mom as I was brewing my coffee. I had a pretty good sleep, a little warm, but…
