Day 3,279: Not Linear
You guys.
You.
GUYS.
Our new TV is…everything I’ve ever wanted. Movies look INCREDIBLE on it. The sound is even better than our last TV, even though we’re using the same soundbar setup. I looked it up, and it’s a real thing: this new connection type allows lossless audio to pass through, which our soundbar can handle, and I can tell the difference. It’s so, soooo dope.
We’re pretty sure that Coco has a sore hip. Arthritis most likely. Maybe an injury. But, that’s why she’s getting ti...

Day 3,278: Coco Close
Coco is pressed up against me so tight right now, it’s hard to write. She has her chin right up on my arm. Her head bobs every time I reach for a key on my keyboard.
She’s started to walk a little slower lately on our walks. Just noticed it over the past couple days. Liz thinks it’s probably arthritis, and I think there’s a good chance she’s right. She’s…getting older. It’s scary. Dogs can go downhill very, very suddenly. It’s kind of shocking. I hope that’s not happening to Coco. I need her ...

Day 3,277: Song Structure
Making it a QUICK one tonight because it’s laaaate…but had a very productive workday. Podcasted. Looking forward to the weekend. New TV coming tomorrow morning. Therapy. Haircut. Some work. A nap, probably…it’s gonna be LIT.
Night night.

Day 3,276: Clean
I am currently getting a tongue bath on my right arm from a certain pup pup named Coco. She had the lickies BIG time tonight, and she’s just going to town. Oh, she finally stopped because Liz came through the room. I guess I’m clean enough now. She can rest. Thanks Coco.
I had a productive day today. Didn’t quiiiiite get everything done I wanted to, but alas. That’s how the cookie crumbles. I still have enough time to get it all done. Just have to keep plugging away. Both on the Netflix and t...

Day 3,275: Pushed!
I pushed today!
Whew. I got this project done for work that was hanging over me. Quite a bit heavier of a lift than usual. Took me like fourteen hours today, BUT…it’s done. And I’m happy with what I put together! It’s a bunch of match-cuts. I think they’re going to like them. I hope so, anyway. I don’t actually have any context on what they’re being used for, but I hope what I made fits.
I also got in some reading. AND recording of some Brain FM stuff I want to use for more writing materia...

Day 3,274: Pushin
I didn’t push today. Sigh. Don’t get me wrong, I still worked. I was still pretty damn productive…but certain things took longer than I thought they would, and I could have worked longer to make sure I still got everything done that I’d planned to.
I didn’t.
Sigh.
Tomorrow, I will. I’m close, you guys. REALLY close to catching all the way back up. Just have to keep pushing when I have the energy to do so.

Day 3,273: Fake Poo
Solid day today! Need a really solid week this week. Couple weeks, actually. But, I can do it. Get this book out the door. Catch up on this work project. Do this conference…and then pare back on the extra stuff and have a little more chill in my life.
I was in my office today and wasn’t insanely stressed out about the stuff I needed to get done because I was right on schedule…and just had a moment where I was like ‘I really like it in here.’ And I do. I did a tiny little bit of cleaning and o...

Day 3,272: Balance
Finding the balance between “too fast” and “slower than it needs to be” is a struggle for me, man. Whew. I operate so much in the extremes of those, two. Or…you know, not really. The fear of the former is what makes me live the latter for the most part.
BUT…I can go too fast. We’re talking writing here. I can go so fast that I lose my sense of what I’m doing. Things slip through the cracks.
I have to say, I’m starting to turn the corner, though. I’m getting better at finding the pocket bet...

Day 3,271: home :)
I’m home!
What a whirlwind of a trip up to Portland and back again. It’s actually doable without being completely exhausting. That’s what I’ve learned this weekend. Even with the delays, which apparently are a pretty standard thing now on Southwest, the trip was reasonable.
The baby shower was a resounding success. Had a nice long check-in with my bro this morning. Helped set up and get ready. Hung out with fam and friends. And then caught a flight back home.
It was, honestly, a really ...

Day 3,270: PORT
Spent the night up in the land of port! …and totally forgot to write a blog about it.
Sitting at home now, but I’ll cover that in the next entry. Yesterday I worked, took an evening flight up to portland, it was delayed quite a bit…got there about 11, chatted with my bro and Addie until about midnight, and then went to bed on the couch.
Twas a grand time! 🙂
