Through barbed wire valleys and overgrown dells

Shawshank, June 15, 2026

I was awake before my alarm, again. That’s on, I usually am, when it comes to work. I just don’t want to be late, and I think my mind does it to save me. But I woke up about 30 minutes before the alarm, and tried to sleep. I managed to doze for about 15 or so minutes.

Yesterday was a really nice day. We didn’t do a whole lot of anything. We watched TV, and ate some pretty good food. I had to head over to Shady Acres, just for a couple of minutes. Just had to move a couple of things for my parents, and then I was back at The Flat.

Just a quick 8 hours. I straddle the day I’m the mid shift guy. I bridge the gap between the closing manager, and the kid that’ll be working with him. I’ll be there, until the kid gets out of school. I’m sure the day will go quickly. Then I’ll be home for another four days. I’m almost 100% sure that I’m working next weekend, so I’m mentally preparing for that.

Let’s go! Happy Monday, my friends.

Good morning everyone. It’s Saturday. It’s somewhat warm, but the wind has picked up out there. I think it’s slowly starting to get colder again. We survived the 20ish centimetres of snow. Let me tell you it looked beautiful outside. The town worked all day in clearing all the snow….

Good morning everyone. Hap hap happy Sunday! I was up very quickly around 5:30, but fell asleep again, until the alarm went off at 7. I feel like I got to sleep in. So we’re up now, I have a kitten on my lap, and Chaucer is on his cube…
