Day 3,050: Bustin

I never wrote this entry last night. I realized it first thing in the morning…but I’m actually writing it in the evening the “next” day.

Worked. Walked pups and Tommen was a dick hole to poor Lucha. But, we got over it. Walked better. And we watched a movie, the new Ghostbusters. It was…fine. Better than the last one, actually, which was so frustrating. With that cast? It should have been fucking awesome. Writing let them down. Probably direction, too.

In this newer one, the kids were the ...

Day 3,049: Come Into My Arms

So TikTok is pretty amazing. I know. Breaking news. But Liz just showed me a duet—for the uninitiated, that’s where one person takes another’s video and does something new with it—where a musician took another artist’s video she’s singing to acoustic piano in and added a full orchestration to it and damn. It’s like a full-on radio caliber single now. Two people who don’t know each other. Just inspired. Making music. With their damn phones.

It’s cool shit.

Good day today. Worked on the proj...

Day 3,048: Worst Case Scenario Lullabye

Another day with the bro and the Addie and the Liz.

We toured some flea markets. They were looking for furniture inspiration, but neither of the markets we went to had any furniture. HOWEVER…they still found some plant pots they really liked, and they picked those up. I had a lemonade. Going strawberry was a bad choice.

We also walked the pups around together. That was super nice. Tommen was a maniac with Lucha, but even that was fine. Had lunch at Poquito Mas, and then we took Coco to her...

Day 3,047: Let Me Down Easy

Man. We had a great day today. Dupar’s for breakfast. Pho for dinner. Daaaamnnn,

It’s late, so Imma keep this one short, but I did most of my work earlier in the week so I could hang out with Scott and Addie, and it all worked out. So nice having them visit. More tomorrow!

Day 3,046: Brother TODAY

Bro is IN TOWN. So is Addie. His wife. His wiiiiife.

Man…I tell you, it is still SO WEIRD to be someone who’s brother is MARRIED, not to mention myself also being married. Like…when did that growing up happen? When did we become full-fledged adults. They even own a house.

I’m not even being facetious. It’s a trip sometimes to think about how much we’ve all grown up and changed and gotten older. I used to think about that a lot as a kid, wishing I was older and could make my own decisions. ...

Day 3,045: Brother Tomorrow

My bro comes into town to visit tomorrow!

Long looonnggg day today. Whew. But I got my shits done. Prepped for the visit. Have a ton of work to finish before he gets here, but I think I can do it.

Wish me luck.

Day 3,044: Mother Wolf

Had the pleasure of eating at a very exclusive restaurant tonight called “Mother Wolf.” Jay-Z and Beyoncé ate there a couple days ago, apparently. We didn’t go Bc of them, however, we went because our friends Nina and Amir got reservations and we love those two.

Great food. Amazing company. Chef’s kiss.

Long work day. I even had to do some stuff after we got back home. Long day for Liz, too. Long day all around.

So, now…sleeeeeep. Night night.

Day 3,043: Back In Business

Herky Jerky day today. Starts and stops. Little scattered overall. I feel like that happens every time we go out of town. BUT…

The work that was done was quality. Not a ton of it, but what WAS done was quality. Had a great client session today. No writing of my own, but that shit gets fixed tomorrow. Which means…

It’s sleepy time. Night night.

Day 3,042: Flux

Things are in a state of flux. Barely controlled chaos.

We came home today from up in the Pismo Beach area, visiting there for Ashika’s second birthday. It was a pretty special trip. She’s so freaking cute, you guys. My goddaughter. And it’s so pretty up there! It was particularly pretty today. 70º. A very slight breeze. Good company. We went to this park with a playground literally right on top of a cliff at the edge of the ocean. So. Pretty.

Drive home wasn’t too bad. Got to drive throug...

Day 3,041: Ashika’s Two

My goddaughter turned two years old today!

We came up to meet Joe and Madhuri and Ashika in Pismo Beach, which is so cute, by the way. Had breakfast in Arroyo Grande, hung out at the beach and pushed Ashika on the swing while her parents went to get food, came home for a nap, went to a petting zoo, picked up BBQ for dinner, and then sang happy birthday and she opened her presents.

It was…a perfect day.

Happy Birthday Ashika. We love you so much. I feel so honored that out of all the fam...
