Day 2,861: Zomg

I am…so tired.

Solid day today. Writing was great to start off the day. Work was great. Client work was great. Great day.

But, damn I am wiped out.

Need another strong day tomorrow. I am…so close to the end of this book.

Wish me luck!

Day 2,860: Shinjiku

Listening to some Max Richter as I write this entry this evening. Feeling wiped. Not a super restful weekend, by any means. But, I did get a lot done. Today, in particular, thank lawd.

Cooper just jumped onto the bed like he was in a big rush. Silly boy. His hair is the perfect length right now. He’s so soft and floofy. Coco too. She’s so luxurious with her fur this length. They probably could use a bath. Maybe we’ll do that when Liz gets home.

Missing her today. She’s still up in Visalia ...

Day 2,859: One Hundred

We’ve watched 100 movies for Film School. Taken us 3 whole years to do that, almost.

We haven’t finished the AFI list quite yet. We’re super close. Nine films left, which is INSANE to think about. Only nine films. We’ve come so far. It’s really exciting.

Long, looonngg day. But, I got done what I needed to. Need to do the same tomorrow. Even more tomorrow, in fact. Le sigh. Wish me luck. Need to sleep.

Night night.

Day 2,858: So Close

I’m getting SO CLOSE to finishing this book. It is finally, FINALLY time to write out the final battle.

Podcasting with J tonight. We watched The Wizard of Oz which is suuuuuch a classic. Not a perfect story, by any means, but a really incredible film. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” is a face-melting song. It’s so good. Takes you right back.

Long week, y’all. Long day. Long week to come. And the one after that. Even have to do some Netflix work over the weekend. Boo. But, we do what we must....

Day 2,857: Butt Coco

Coco snuggles up so close to me at night. I love it. So much.

Today was National Dog Day! Happy NDD Coops and Coco! I’m so lucky to have both of you in my life. Coco for all the snuggles, and Coops for all the companionship and borks.

Looooong day today. Whew. Got my shit done, though. Took some extra fuuuuuggin hours to get there, but get there we did. And the writing this morning was solid. 6 pages. Not the full allotment. I wanted to get another writing session in to finish the job, or ...

Day 2,856: Handshake

I wrote 11 pages today. And like it was nothing, too.

The book is once again steaming ahead. No holds barred. Nothing currently in my way…and nothing WILL be in my way, methinks. I’m finally to the last act. I think I’ve justified everything that’s left to come, it’s just a matter of finally letting all the dominoes fall.

It’s a good feeling. All I have to do is write. I’m starting to get to know the characters. It makes them easier to write. Fun stuff to come.

Work is busy busy busy. I...

Day 2,855: The Grindstone Returns

K. So, I am definitely back to work.

I almost got piled with too much on my plate today. It was a close one. But, my coordinator over at Haus was able to sort it out like a freaking champ. I’m a fan, Jonah is his name. He’s excellent at his job, and gosh darn it, I appreciate excellence.

No writing because I woke up late, but that changes tonight. To bed on time. Up on time in the morning, and we’re back at this bitch. Gonna FINISH MY BOOK. I only need, like, five more days. Maybe six or s...

Day 2,854: Back!

Not quite back in the swing of things, but I’ve come to realize that’s the way things go when I get back from a trip, or otherwise have my routine interrupted.

It was a solid day today. Got stuff done, like kicked off a new work project, went grocery shopping, did some household stuff (like got a new dining room table! much excite! thanks Jo and Reed!), got to hang out a little bit with Joe, who’s staying with me this week while Liz is up in Visalia. A solid day.

Writing this entry late. B...

Day 2,853: Home

Home.

What a great trip.

Tired. Ready for sleep. Maybe read some sports journalism for a little while we’ll see.

Back at the grind tomorrow! Night

Day 2,852: Rapids

I have not been river rafting in…20 years? Probably more?

It’s so fun. We had SUCH a good time today on the White Salmon river. Our boat was definitely full. We were the only one in our tour group to have the entire raft filled with seven full-grown adults. We were definitely the slowest as a result. We got stuck a couple times. And ho boy, that last paddling bit against the wind with very little current took just about everything I had…

But we made it. It was soooo much fun. And so fun to...
