Day 2,959: Bop

Liz out in the living room right now killing it with her second DJ set of the day. It makes me so, so happy that she uses the DJ controller as much as I do. Lately, far more! I haven’t made time for djing lately. That will change soon. I have another book to write.

Speaking of…zero in that regard today. Blech. Not tomorrow. And not for the rest of the week, come hell or high water, you heard it here first: I will get in 10 hours of writing this week. I’m not sure if that will be enough for me...

Day 2,958: I’m Alive!

I’m alive! Barely 🙂

Okay, more than barely. I was pretty good today. Just tired. Still slightly achy. The body fought the good fight, and a couple weeks from now, I should be mostly impervious to the COVID. Mostly. Not completely, because that’s not how science works.

We watched most of Black Widow tonight. It’s fun! Florence Pugh (sp?) is sooooo gooooood. We know her from Midsommar. She’s amazing. I actually hope they make her an Avenger. I’d watch the new batch for her. Absolutely.

Wa...

Day 2,957: I’m Dead

Writing this entry the following morning because last night I was OUT OF IT. Got the Moderna booster and holy bejesus it made me feel sick.

Fever all day. Aches like the dickens. Not *actually* super sick, obviously, but it sure felt like it.

So, I did nothing during the day. I watched a little basketball, watched a little We Bare Bears, and slept. Hardly even ate food.

But tomorrow…tomorrow bodes well. And especially 2 weeks from now when I have the full effects of the booster’s immuni...

Day 2,956: Christmas-y

I feel Christmas-y.

For various reasons, we haven’t been super into Christmas so far this year. And by “into” I literally just mean having the time to put stuff up, play christmas music, go shopping, etc etc.

Tonight, though, we watched our second Christmas film for the podcast, and we did it over at our house along with Liz and KBear, and it was suuuper fun. Super christmas-y. Made hot chocolate and whatnot. It was amaze.

We watched Christmas Vacation. Been a while since I’d seen it. S...

Day 2,955: Just Keep Going

Man…resistance be all up in my business the past couple days. Got me feeling down. But, you know what? I dug around on Amazon for a little tonight, just kinda by accident, and stumbled across some series that gave me some hope.

I just need to keep going.

The biggest thing that successful series have in common is that the author has a TON of books out. Granted, most of them started 5-10 years ago, but breakthroughs still happen every day. The readers are still hungry.

I just need to keep...

Day 2,954: Best Laid Plans

Well…

I got done a fraction of what I wanted today, but you know? That’s okay! I got my writing done first thing, which was the thing stressing me out the most.

I was feeling the resistance last night and this morning. But, I pushed through it and felt the power of consistency. Butt in chair. Gonna do it again tomorrow.

Got to hang with Liz a decent amount. Joe, too. He’s in town for the rest of the week. Love having him around. Truly. He even helped move some heavy stuff with me.

So...

Day 2,953: Intention

I set the intention last night that I was going to get my ass up and do my writing session. I did that!

Tonight, I need to set my intention for tomorrow: to do the same, get up on time, and to get the following things done…

Get up on time again for another full writing session. Two hours this time, not just one.

Edit and post Film School Episode.

Start on finances organizing project. That’s my focus tomorrow, not 20Books Videos.

But also edit and post 10 20Books videos. Have them ...

Day 2,952: Not Missing!

Two things turned out not to be missing today when I thought they were.

First, I *did* write a blog entry for Saturday after podcasting with Josh. I have no idea why it disappeared, but it did. For a little bit, anyway. It just showed up on my WordPress app here as having posted LAST night for some reason…so, I just fixed the date and viola. It’s restored. No idea what happened there.

Second, the bolts for the table have been found!

This one is a relief, because I had absolutely noooo i...

Day 2,950: Tis the Season

We watched our first Christmas movie of the year for the ‘cast tonight, Josh and I. It’s starting to feel like the holidays.

We’re home. So much to do before the year ends. But, I think I’m going to let that all start on Monday. I need a day tomorrow. Hopefully I get it. We’ll see.

Building was a shit show. Big water leak. Thankfully nothing horrible happened, but water everywhere and the fix is in a tough place. So, that was fun. Mostly for Liz, which I appreciate so much how hard she wor...

Day 2,951: Furniture Fasteners

We have a piece of furniture that’s missing its bolts to put it together and it is the WORST. Apparently the bolts aren’t “bolts,” which is one of the reasons why we’re having a hard time figuring out where to get replacements. They’re called “furniture fasteners”

Eye roll.

I know we’ll find what we need. Either through just going through our own stuff, contacting West Elm who made the table, or finding a generic replacement out there somewhere.

Had a great therapy session today. I talk...
