Day 3,090: Pets In Residence

Mayor Cooper went and greeted our new neighbors next door. Well, I suppose we’re the new neighbors, but regardless, Coops wanted to make sure he made a good first impression. He’s such a sweet dog with humans. He’s not afraid of anyone, unless they’re coming into his house unannounced. Then he’s skeptical. But in any other context, he can’t wait to meet everyone.

Made vveerrryyy incremental progress tonight on the unpacking and getting everything set up. Ugh. I was hoping to get SO MUCH MORE ...

Day 3,089: Roots

On the one hand, moving has me feeling like I’m living in a fancy hotel. It’s…special. Exciting, still. An indulgence.

On the other hand, I am feeling a deep desire to get my roots back down into the ground. To find a new routine. Figure out the new rhythms, ebbs and flows. Have things set, where I know where they are. That last one is not a metaphor…I literally don’t know where 2/3 to 75% of my shit is right now because it’s all in boxes.

This week was really, REALLY busy for me work-wise...

Day 3,088: Entitlement

It really goes a long way if you can say “that was my bad.” A lot of people out there can’t do that, or at the very least struggle with it mightily.

That sounds like the beginning of a rant, and it could be…but what made me think of that thought wasn’t nearly enough to work me into a lather, it just made me think about how hard taking responsibility is for a shockingly large number of adults. Often times, it manifests as entitlement.

I worked my ass off today. I’m finally, finally catching...

Day 3,087: Progress

Another reeaaallyyyy late night. Offset a bit by taking a pretty epic nap in the late afternoon and quite a bit less physical work. Lot more sitting-at-computer work, however. Made progress on that. Phew. Actually found some stuff I think will work for this project, but we’ll see.

Pups are getting their Rolos for the night, these little treats with good oils and stuff in them that keep their joints in good shape. They’ve been my buds lately, helping me work out in my office. Coco just screame...

Day 3,086: Curtains!

Curtains are up in the bedroom. We have ze privacy. Woohoo!

They were a bit of a beast to put up only in the sense that I’d never done anything like that before. Well, now I have. They weren’t that complicated in the end. I only made them complicated.

Work, again, was balls to the wall. Slammed. Keeping my head above water, but daaaaamn. I’m ready for a normal-paced day. I hopefully can get that tomorrow, but we’ll see.

Pups are great. Adjusting to the new space. Coco has starting takin...

Day 3,085: Kinda Wild

Another loooooooong long day.

Work has been busy as fuck y’all. Busy busy busy. But…I’ve held my head above water. Miraculously.

I’m so wiped I don’t have much to write. Except that the pups were with me most of the day, and that was lovely. They love my office. It’s outside. They could go in and out to lie in the sun, or be inside and cool down. Therapy was tonight. Great sesh.

Time to crash. I swear I’ll have more thoughts some day soon. When my brain catches up to all this change.

...

Day 3,084: Naked Bear

More progress made today! We did some cleaning. We did some audition taping. We did some organizing. AND! I was able to find a couple hours to get the podcast edited for tomorrow.

No living room yet, so no TV. We stopped literally in the MIDDLE of Severance the day before we moved. The season finale. Uuugghhh.

All in time. It’s just going to take TIME to get all this stuff unpacked and sorted and put away. Going to try as hard as we can to get that done in the next two weeks. At least most...

Day 3,083: Hotel

I remember lying in bed ten years ago almost to the exact day (the exact day would be tomorrow) and thinking, “damn. this place feels like a hotel.” I’m having that feeling again.

And no…not because I’m staying in a hotel. We moved. We’re in our house. It’s taken us almost a year and a half to get here, but here we are. We’re in our new bedroom. I almost killed myself putting up the rail for our new curtain system. Almost broke my back putting down the carpet and the bedframe…but I survived. ...

Day 3,082: One More Time

Ten years ago today, we took keys for this apartment (and for the building as a whole). We moved in two days later, on the tenth. Tonight, we sleep here for the last time. For all intents and purposes, exactly ten years ago. In fact, if you factor in leap years and whatnot, it probably is exact.

Having a hard time wrapping my head around that. SO MUCH has happened in that time. So. Much. This place has been good to us. For the most part, we’ve thrived here. I hope we do the same in our next c...

Day 3,081: Clutter or No

Putting my new office together. It’s…so cluttered right now. And, I’m not entirely sure I have the configuration right. But…we’ll see. It’s just going to be a process, that’s all. One step at a time.

It’s past 1am. We’re one day from the move.

Crazy.

Night.
