Way past common sense past the Dairy Queen, the county line

Shawshank, October 18, 2026

It’s Sunday morning, and the sun is rising.

Last night my co-worker, the rizzler drove to work on his own. He finally got his third vehicle. It’s a big boy truck. He was gushing. I indulged him. He sat out in it for a while, he took his friends out to look at it.

He is however, too short to see in the engine bay. I told him that I had a small stool for him. I don’t think he heard me. Then I had a thought:

When we go over to OG Shady Acres, I’m going to grab the stool, and look for a couple of wrenches, and maybe a small socket set for him. Then I remembered that every vehicle should have a set of jumper cables. So I’ll grab a set as well.

And since he’s working with the creepy guy today, I’ll deliver them to him today. It’ll be a nice surprise for him. He’s a good kid that’s been dealt a shitty hand. So if I can be a good influencing adult in his life, I’ll take it.

So long story short, he had a pretty good shift. He’s way too excited to work, when he just wants to drive. He was even showing responsibility last night; he was invited to a couple of parties, and his response: “I can’t, I have to work in the morning.”

The featured image is the result of him asking me if he could raise his aura if he took pictures of his truck against the sunset. I said yes of course. Do what you need to do. As he’s running out of the store I hear, “Thank you! You’re the best coworker ever!”

I took a couple of pictures, and sent them to him as well. I’ll miss the routine of driving him home, and the sneaky selfies he’d take. He’s even offered to drive me to and from work one day when we’re working together. 🤣

Podrick left me alone last night/this morning. Crystal says he actually snuggled in between us in the night. Of course he’s so small, I didn’t feel him. I slept undisturbed all night. I just wish that Crystal could sleep through the night as well. On the Pippin/Podrick front. Pippin isn’t…

I thought Crystal said it was after 7, when I mumbled what time it was. Spoiler alert; it was not after 7. Welcome to o’dark 45. It was 6:45 when I rolled out of bed. And within a few minutes, coffee has been brewed. And the cats have been fed….

Well, the day started late. Yesterday, I was smart. I reset the alarm clock, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it when I fell into bed. I forgot to turn it on. I woke up at 4:20, and said, great! I have 10 more minutes of sleep. The next…
