Day 2,831: Sweetest Batch

Pro tip: in the summer months, Driscoll’s sells a limited run of strawberries and raspberries called “Sweetest Batch” that are only, like, a dollar more expensive than their regular berries that are SO MUCH BETTER. Like…it’s not even close. So good, I’m not sure you can ever go back to just the regular berries.

Just saying.

Get on that shit.

Time for sleep. Night night.

Day 2,830: Hangin

I’m hanging in there.

Anxiety has been on overdrive lately. I’m so close to finishing my book. Getting closer to finishing this big “project” Liz and I have been working on. All really, really good things. Exciting things.

But, exciting can be just as exhausting and anxiety-inducing as the bad. I mean, the big difference is that it IS excitement, thank lawd. But, it’s still exhausting. It still keeps me up at night for no reason, and torpedoes my morning writing sessions.

I’ve written 1...

Day 2,829: Head Above

I have too much on my plate right now…but that being said, I’m handling my sh*t, yo.

Barely.

But, I am handling it.

Could fall asleep last night, which wiped out my early morning start time for writing…which then wiped out writing altogether because of all the stuff I had to get done today, which I just barely got done. It got done, though. I really can’t complain. And, I’m not complaining. I am handling it. Kinda proud of myself, really.

One step at a time.

And, tomorrow, that st...

Day 2,828: Fallin Apart!

Oh jeez. Fallin apart over here tonight.

First off…I have heartburn right now something wikkid. Don’t know why, really. I didn’t eat anything too spicy tonight. I did have a bubbly lemonade, which must have done me in, but that’s not usual. I don’t get heartburn just because I imbibe something fizzy. But, here we are.

Problem number two: I tweaked my right knee today somehow. I was working outside for a bit, and I think I must have twisted it or stepped awkwardly then. It’s sore now. Makin...

Day 2,827: Mixed Bag

A mixed bag today.

I got my writing done, but in thinking about it afterwards, it needs some rewriting. Which isn’t the end of the world. Not even major rewrites…but it is something that resistance gets to have a little field day and try to get me down about. Which it has, a little.

But, I know what the solution is. To roll up my sleeves and get in there to fix it.

Day otherwise was solid. I got in a nap. I did all my work. Helped bear with an audition that took a little longer than usu...

Day 2,826: I Got This

I’ve got this.

I’m a sprint-to-the-finish away from completing my book. Just over a week of hitting my daily goals, and I am done with the damn thing. It’ll be my first rough draft finished that I know is close to DONE done, that’s not an interminable project of rewriting and pulling my hair out and despairing that I think I’ve lost my mojo.

I have my mojo.

I just need to finish the damn thing.

I went to bed too late last night. That was frustrating. It was frustrating to lose today ...

Day 2,825: LATE!

Oh em gee…it’s late. I’m in bed right now an HOUR past bed time on a Monday morning. Oops.

I’m going to get up on time and do my writing anyway tomorrow. Watch me.

Good day today. Got my stuff done, which really was just setting myself up for the week. I want to get a poop ton of writing done this week. Wish me luck on that. I’m so close to finishing this book!

Night y’all. I swear I will go to bed earlier one of these nights and write more…

Or not.

We’ll see

Day 2,824: Olympics!

Maaaan…the Olympics are so damn fun.

They started in earnest today…or, really yesterday from the POV of the Japanese, since they’re already in Sunday, but it was our first day of coverage here in the States.

I love it. Directv has this “mix” channel where you can have all the various channels playing all at once. That’s so fun. Then when something really cool is happening, select the channel to make it go full screen.

I love it.

Now, sleep time. I need to get up tomorrow morning agai...

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.
