You keep trying to love the devil out of me

Shawshank, January 17, 2026

Hey. It’s afternoon. I had a terrible sleep last night. Terrible. Up early around 3 am with stomach cramps. After a trip to the bathroom, I lightly dozed until 4, when I had to use the bathroom again. The alarm scared me less than an hour later.

Good times.

Got up and stared at the TV for 30 or so minutes, drinking coffee. Then it was time to head to work. Did the environmental stuff, then the opening stuff. We opened three minutes early because a guy can’t read time properly.

The shift was dead. But it started to pick up just before we left. I headed over to Shady Acres to haul in wood pellets, and clean the stove. My father misunderstood my mom when she said shut the stove off, Shawshank will be over after work to clean it, and bring in the pellets. He thought I was just bringing in the pellets.

Now, I get to go over on a day off to clean it. Yay.

Back to work tomorrow for a full day shift. I haven’t eaten lunch but I don’t really care. I’m not hungry. I haven’t really been hungry in weeks. I eat. But when I work, the last thing I want to do is eat.

I’m tired.

Good sunny morning. The birds are singing, and both the cats have made their way on to the back door table. They’re in a giant sunbeam, and they are loving every minute of it. The coffee is flowing, and we’ve both been awake since before the alarm went off. But the bed was so comfortable.…

Up just a little early this morning. Podrick was being Podrick, so I kicked him out of the bedroom, and blocked the door. Crystal says he’s getting close to opening the door. My body said “you need to pre, and you really need to blow your nose.” I ignored my body and for a couple…

So my aunt and her friend made it here just fine late Friday night. So I went over to Shady Acres around 12:30ish to help with the dinner preparation. My mom was making a full Thanksgiving dinner. Once the prep was done we went “downtown” so my aunt could check out the one store that…
