Day 3,381: The Count

Coco borking right now.

Her routine is all messed up because she went and got groomed today. But, she looks SO MUCH BETTER. It was worth it. I think she’s barking right now because she wants to dig on the sheets. We’ll see.

Another solid day, you guys. I can’t say I got a ton of work done on my outline. Sigh. I could have pushed more on that…but I was tired this morning. So I kinda putzed around a bit. Still had a couple great ideas, though. Not sure whether they’re ideas for this story or...

Day 3,380: Wild

Good day today. I was just sitting here for a few minutes trying to figure out what I wanted to say about today and not really coming up with anything…in a GOOD way.

I was just solid today. I did my stuff. Had another little mini breakthrough in my outline for the next Glory book. I think I might know who the villain is of this story. Lots to fill in and figure out, so that could definitely change, but it definitely seems like a piece that could fit. So, another banner day in that regard.

...

Day 3,379: Bork!

Coco on her shit tonight. Not wanting to take meds meatballs. Not wanting to take her Dasuquin chews. Borkin, even though we’ve taken her out. Sigh. She’s a willful one, that lady. It’s one of the reasons why we love her so much.

Solid day today. Not nearly as good of a writing session as I had yesterday, but only because I didn’t have the breakthroughs I did yesterday that all kind of came in a rush. It was more normal today. The process of outlining, I realize, is part making sure the puzzl...

Day 3,378: Jeffs

Making it a quick one tonight bc it’s sleep time, BUT…got my shit done today. Writing. Work. Liz audition. Shower. Check check check check check. Even woke up on time.

It was a good day.

Night night.

Day 3,377: Shiver Dog

Twas the end of the Niners season today. We will not be facing the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. It’s two NFC Championship games in consecutive years, and two consecutive losses. Sigh. This one was particularly brutal, because our quarterback got injured on the very first drive of the game. It was essentially over after that. Our backup quarterback had only been with the team for a few weeks, was clearly a MASSIVE step down from Purdy…and even he got injured and had to be taken out of the game early...

Day 3,376: Honk

Coco is tiiiiired next to me tonight. She did treadmill and an EXCELLENT physical therapy session of exercises and stretches afterwards, then finally some laser therapy and her joints shot. Really good exercise.

I had really good physical exercise today as well. I weed whacked the front yard so when our plastic arrives in a couple days (on Tuesday), it’s all ready to be put down. That’s how we’re tackling the weed problem this time: depriving it of light, and boiling them with the trapped hea...

Day 3,375; Stung

Quick one bc it late…but we watched Dune tonight. The Lynch one. Did it for the podcast and our deep dive into his filmography. Loved it! The watching, I mean. The movie itself is…bad. But super fun to watch with your bestie.

Night night. More tomorrow.

Day 3,374: It Wasn’t Made For Us

Not a very productive day, sigh. But, I did the bare minimum! At least I did that.

Tomorrow, getting up all the way on time. Getting my ass in my chair and writing for the time I need to write. It’s getting close to go-time. I can finally feel it. Whew. Bang this thing down, get a working story, and then fucking gooooo.

I worked on our finances. I did my Netflix work, of which there was not much, and I got the Film School episode posted for next week. It was a cutting room floor, which mea...

Day 3,373: Points!

Dubs won. It was a squeaker. But they did. Need to rack off some wins, something we just haven’t been able to figure out. Not a great team this year…but they still COULD be. Long way to go, though.

Writing was great this morning. Put in my full time for—I think—the first time this year. It was great. Netflix work was great, too. On top of my shiiiiit.

I was tired today, for sure. Not only because I got up on time(ish), but because I didn’t have great sleep last night. Apparently there was ...

Day 3,372: Plinth

In bed on time tonight. Woohoo!

Man…I was tired today. I took a two-hour nap at the end of the work day. Had to put in a little extra time in the evening to make up for it. Worth it, though. Exhausted. Falling asleep at my desk. Don’t really know why, either. I had a good night’s sleep. Woke up pretty much on time. Little late, actually. Didn’t do any extra physical exertion. I was just tired, I guess.

Pulling clips for work definitely tires me out. So does client work, for that matter, an...
