The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices

Shawshank, May 17, 2025

Good afternoon! I’ve been up since 5 this morning, when my alarm scared the shit out of me. I managed to shut it off, but accidentally turned on the second alarm, which went off around 6. At that point, Podrick had already been in the bedroom terrorizing Crystal while she tried to sleep. So she was up and getting dressed when I went in to shut the alarm off.

I worked this morning, and struggled to remember how to open the store while at the same time trying to instruct a new hire on how to open. But we managed to get the store open, and I managed to get the extra Saturday stuff completed before we opened. We opened on time, and a regular came in as soon as we opened – needing change. He had 3 $100 bills. I told him he’s my first customer, we literally just opened, there’s no way I can give you change without totally depleting my entire drawer.

Pippin and Podrick are slowly starting to get along. They still play the chase game, taking turns on who’s chasing who. But she’s holding her ground, and yesterday we watched Pippin get him in a headlock, and turned letting him go from the mid point on the cat tree. It was hilarious the expression on her face – pure boredom.

With my dad in the hospital getting a hip replacement my mom is alone, and she wanted to know what we wanted for dinner on Sunday. Crystal, using advance calculus and logic determined it’s easier for us to cook for an extra person than it would be for my mom to cook for two extra people. So we invited her over for dinner. We’ll be making homemade spaghetti sauce and meatballs. I picked up a pie from work for desert.

So I’m doing laundry today, so I can do some cleaning for tomorrow. We’re not feral, the house is say 80-89% clean. I just need to do a few more things, as I was lazy last week and didn’t really do anything other than laundry.

Fun times huh?
