Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen pour myself a cup of ambition

Shawshank, August 26, 2026

I really didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. I was comfortable, and I could breathe. But I was nudged until sleep was no longer an option. I woke up to Podrick purring like a machine.

It’s bright and sunny out there today. The wind has died down, and for some reason there is a lot of noise and people working out and driving loudly. It’s not supposed to be this loud at this hour. It looks like summer is trying to claw its way back, at least for a while.

Back to work this afternoon. Another day, another trainee. By the end of today, I’ll have cycled through all of them. I don’t have my favourites, they’re all pretty much at about the same skill level. Each of them do something different and excel at it. If we could smoosh all three of the kids together to make a “super-kid”, that would be perfect.

October 4, 2022

Good morning from the couch. I took the couch last night, so I could get some snuggle time with Pippin. After she played a little, she did come up and snuggle with me on the couch. I gave her lots of pets. I had forgotten which alarm sound that I…
