Day 3,100: Better

Going to bed almost on time. About thirty minutes late, which is BETTER than an hour/hour-and-a-half late.

I meditated this morning. Wrote a liiiitttlle bit, but only because I had to leave to take the pups out to the groomers in NoHo. Tomorrow…no excuses. I’m diving back in. I need to get this new routine going. STARTED. No pressure.

Sigh.

It’s so hard to get rolling again when you’ve been away from something for a while. But, it is not impossible. It just takes effort.

Night.

Day 3,099: Ninety Nine

I love a good ninety-nine. On the brink of a new triple digits. It’s fun to say.

Big day today. We wrapped up the last of our business, officially, at the apartment building. We are no longer apartment mangers.

Ten years.

I suppose I’m living in my own “nine” at the moment: thirty-nine. That’s how many trips I’ve taken around the solar system. My number of orbits. It will be forty later this year. That’s a nice round number. Very interesting that we’re making this move at that age, when...

Day 3,098: Routines…

I’ve been knocked out of so many of my routines over the past two months or so.

The first two that come to mind are getting up early to write, number one, and number two my workout routine that actually wakes me up and gets me out of bed. Moving is the main reason I fell out of both of those, but it was also just stress; stress caused a extremely painful neck injury, for example. I was kind of grooving with my morning workouts up to that point. And same with the writing.

I’m going to re-st...

Day 3,097: Living Room

I made MAJOR progress on the living room today. Whew.

Put the carpet down. It’s amazing. The real huge thing, though, was just getting everything connected again in the TV area. Sooooo mmmaannyyyy cables and devices to get set up, jesus. It took HOURS. Literally.

Part of that is because I wanted to label everything as I went, so I know what cords are connected to what devices…given that there are so freaking many of them…and I’m glad I did. It’s super organized back there. Kind of. The cab...

Day 3,096: Roots

Getting there, y’all. Getting there.

Did a final walkthrough of the apartment and building with our replacement managers today. Showed them where stuff was. They were very sweet. I wish them well.

It’s going to be a trip when we hand over the keys for the final time. A relief, mostly, to be free of that burden…but also so so weird. That building has been such a massive part of our lives for the past ten years. And it’s going to be gone in a few days. Hard thing to wrap my head around. I kn...

Day 3,095: Blerg

So, the wordpress app, which is what I use to write and post these entries every day from my iPad, is so buggy sometimes when it comes to attaching an image to the post. It’ll fail quite often. My workaround has been to use my iPhone to post with the image, since that seems to be more reliable for whatever reason…

But I forgot to actually finish yesterday’s post with my iPhone last night. So it never posted. Oops. Fixed now.

Another less-crazy day. I got a living room shelf built. I aim to...

Day 3,094: Heinichen Home

Finally. A less-crazy day.

Still busy! But just less…crazy. Was able to catch up on some other work projects. Build most of the rest of the kitchen hutch (still need to put on the doors, but otherwise it’s done). Help Liz with a couple auditions—our first taping sesh in the new self-taping room/Joe’s bedroom! It went great! Looked great! All of which is a relief.

Not back to normal. I don’t have a living room yet. We’re still going back and forth between here and the building for last-minu...

Day 3,093: Only Love Can Hurt Like This

Tonight’s blog entry title is a song lyric, by the way, kids. Lol. Liz is listening to it right now. GREAT song. Resurrected by TikTok.

Our bathroom light turns itself off. How cool is that? We didn’t even know it was a feature. Future-house.

I…am freaking wiped out, man. These past two+ weeks have worn me the fuck out, from top to bottom, inside and out. Today, I got a surprise reprieve. I was putting in the marathon hours it would take to get me across the finish line on this latest supe...

Day 3,092: Pushed

Watched Pusher with Josh. Loved it. Podcasted for the first time in over two weeks. That felt good.

Life is busy, yo. Very, very veeerrryyy busy.

I have two more very, very busy days, and then hopefully a bit of a reprieve after that. We’ll see. Definitely have to find the energy to finish. And I have A LOT to finish.

sigh.

I took a nap today that was absolutely, positively clutch. It resurrected me. Thinking—hoping—that doing another one tomorrow, and probably Wednesday too, will do...

Day 3,091: Skadis

I’m zonked.

Had to work today. Full day, pretty much. BUT…I’m in position to finish this project on time, now. Thank lawd. Took a 48-hour work week, but I did it. AND I got the podcast up and ready for tomorrow, on time. Just in time to go to bed pretty much on time.

Pretty much.

Little late. But, not too bad.

I’m wiped, y’all. Wiped.

Night night.
