Day 2,314: Astrophage

Almost done reading Project Hail Mary. So good.

Not a super productive day, but after such a late night and this fuuuuucking week, it was exactly what I needed. Passed out for a nice long nap after I was done with work…started watching a good new movie. Well, old movie: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the original Swedish version, not the re-done english one. It’s…really good. Loving it. Suckered me in with a whodunit.

Pups are great. Tommen is staying with us again. We love him. It’s goi...

Day 2,313: #haze

Maaaann…long days.

Today was pretty damn solid. Especially podcasting, which is why I’m writing this so late. Late start because of work, and here it is, 1:30 in the morning.

Le sigh. So worth it. Night night.

Day 2,312: Backflips For Tragic

Thumbing it on the iPhone tonight. Took the WiFi down so I could upload something important overnight with JUST the modem, no router no WiFi no any single other device connected to cause any sort of slowdown or congestion…and we’ll see how it does. Right now, it says the connection is good. I’m screen recording to see if that holds true.

This internet thing has been so freaking frustrating. And I know it can be better, because it was at our old address. So, ya…they need to fix it. Sigh.

Day 2,311: Coming Along

Glory passed the five figure mark this month. Not too shabby given that it’s just the one book and nobody in military scifi has ever heard of me. Let’s be real…no one has ever heard of me, ever. Lol.

Seriously, there’s something kind of cool about that, to be honest. I can sit here and do my thing. Write what I want. The pressure and expectation is low, at least from the outside, and I really appreciate that. Genuinely. I’m not looking forward to that kind of pressure…though, when it does com...

Day 2,310: Vanilla

Another very productive day. Another very tired Ira. Whew. Been non-stop now for three days in a row. I’m very, VERY close to not being so insane. Whew!

I really don’t have much to write about tonight except that I handled my shit today, and I’m exhausted. Pups are good. Bear is good. Life is good.

Night night.
