Day 2,823: Kisses

I write about Coco a lot at night in these entries because she’s always right next to me on the bed.

She’s been especially sweet with me the past couple weeks after her health scare (she’s better, now, thank lawd, if you missed previous updates — it was something, apparently, that she was just able to heal from on her own). I think it’s because I was so worried about her, I stuck to her like glue, and now she’s stuck back to me.

Dogs do that. They’ll take aaaallllll the love and attention ...

Day 2,822: Star Wars

Star Wars is so gd good.

Watched it for the podcast. The Despecialized version, so it was the original film, without all the 90s added bullshit.

So.

Good.

Now it’s super late. Need to sleep. Night night.

Day 2,821: Entropy

It’s kind of crazy to thing that time runs on a spectrum of order to chaos.

I watched a documentary on Stephen Hawking where he talked about that; essentially, our definition of the flow of time is that. Order to chaos. We never see the coffee cup fly up from the ground back onto the counter and un-break itself. We don’t see stars un-collapse and reform themselves, or black holes become white hot with all the light they’re spewing out.

Black holes consume light.

Stars collapse.

Coffe...

Day 2,820: Momz

Momz is in town!

She’s on her way out to Vegas to visit a friend. Oh, the retired life! We were talking about when the last time was that she just took a trip to go visit a friend, and couldn’t come up with an answer. How cool is that?! Not that it’s been so long, but that she’s finally doing it.

Mom is great. Showed her some of the project that Liz and I have been working on. She approved. We walked the pups together. Ate some delicious food that LIZ made for us. I was going to make dinne...

Day 2,819: Beck

It’s past bed time. Feeling discombobulated…but, it was a good day today.

Keeping this one quick tonight. More tomorrow, I promise.

Day 2,818: Home Healthy

We’re home.

Coco is healthy. She’s back to normal, now. Her head tilt is gone. Her eyes are steady. Maybe she stumbles here and there ever so slightly, but then again, she always did. She was always a bit clumsy.

It was really, really nice visiting our friends this weekend, spending time with Ashika, and her getting used to the dogs. She was absolutely obsessed with them. Wanted to be with them all the time.

I loved growing up with a dog. Merle was his name. A big, sweet german shepherd...

Day 2,817: Happy Fam

Joe and Madhuri and Ashika are just such a happy family.

We spent all day together today. I was really, really nice. Ashika got to know the dogs, and the dogs got to know her. They were all best friends by the end of the day.

We went on walks together. Went out for dinner. Had margaritas on their backyard patio once the sun was down long enough for it to be cool enough.

It was a perfect day, really.

Exhausted.

Good night!

Day 2,816: Happy House

Visiting our good friends Madhurt, and Joe, and our goddaughter Ashika. They live in Visalia, which is a central valley town about three hours away from LA.

Drive up was easy. Work went great today. I’m exhausted…Coco is acting normal again.

Life is good

Night night

Day 2,815: Le Werk

Long day. Great day. Watched a great movie with Josh. Work was busy af, but I handled my sh*t. It was a good, solid day that felt like normal.

It’s past bed time, so Imma cut this short. Hope you had a good one, too.

Coco still doing better!

Nighty night.

Day 2,814: Fleets

Coco is STILL on the mend. She went on two walks today, and she could actually do it. Thank you baby jesus. She’s still improving. Stumbles. Losing balance. Head tilts. But all of those are steadily going away. I think…I hope…she’s gonna be okay.

I was able to be much more productive today. Much more steady with my day. A few random things that popped up here and there. Nothing too crazy.

I feel very out of it from how crazy things got when Coco got sick. Stress like that is just so disrup...
