Day 2,379: Stay the Course

Another solid day today.

I was able to just go through my routine today, which always helps me. I never knew how OCD I was, guys, until I started this blog and started therapy. I really depend on my patterns of behavior and actions SO MUCH to deal with my anxieties.

I dont know if thats a bad or a good thing; I think its probably neither. It simply is what it is.

Wrote my one page. Im going up to two pages next week. Then three, four, etc. The writing right now is still halted and jerky. I...

Day 2,378: I Just Came For The Music

Gonna do me a quick one tonight so I can sleep on timesolid day today.

Writing was good. Not great, but good. I did my page.

Then, we went and got tested for COVID down in Compton. Its free and open now to everyone, and ALL RESIDENTS are encouraged to go get tested. If you live in LA, that means you. Get tested. We know there are literally thousands of people out there who are positive for the virus but show no symptoms and spreading it. That could be any of us. And even a negative test helps...

Day 2,377: Late Night!

Late night! Need to get my ass to bed so I get enough sleep

But a good day today. One of those non-days, kinda, where I didnt really do anything. But, I did. It just doesnt really feel like I did.

I did laundry, including oxy-cleaning our sheets, so were set now for the next three weeks with clean linens. Did our clothes laundry, too. All folded and put away.

I edited and posted the podcast episode for this week. Cutting Room Floor episode, I should say. Looking forward so, soooo much to...

Day 2,376: Pens Are Forever

Happy Birtday to the love of my lifetime (sorry, Coco): Elizabeth Ho.

We spent the entire day together today. Picking up Mint Mojito Iced Coffees from Philz, Banana Cream Dulce de Leche pies from All Day Baby, not one but TWO sushi boxes from Sugarfish, then napping, walking pups, FaceTiming with fam and then DJing together for like two and a half hours.

It was a perfect day. I hope it was special. I think it was

Day 2,375: Coco Jesus

Long week. Butdare I say a good one?

Its getting better folks. Little by little!

Work was great today. Got to finish slightly early, which was nice. Took a little nap. Met Orson. Hes a dog. Played music with bear. Read my bookalmost done!snuggled pups.

Im exhausted.

Night!

Day 2,374: Endings Are Hard

We watched the ending of Avatar: The Last Airbender tonight and it was very, very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and everything ended, really, the way that it should have ended.

But, it wasnt perfect. Id heard a loooooot of hype around this series finale and it didnt quite live up to it. It did for one particular character: Zuko. His arc was easily the most satisfying. And dont get me wrong, the animation for the action sequences was dope. Really, really dope. Fights were epic and well-chosen....

Day 2,373: Myself

Feeling more like myself.

Today wasnt a zero day, but it was a tough one. Kind of. At least in terms of what Id planned to do, writing-wise. But, I was inspired this morning, and so I sketched out a little scene that was further into the story than what Im working on right now.

Really, what threw me is that I was so freaking tired this morning when my alarm went off. Like, unusually tired. I dont know if I got crap sleep for some reason, or what, but I was going to be groggy, cranky, and not...

Day 2,372:

Im listening to a draft of a set that Im putting together to play live and record at some point. I meanI guess I just did play it live and record it, but its just a draft at this point. It was the first time I played it through from beginning to end, and it needs work. It starts great, but it ramps up too quickly, and the last third or so needs some editing, tracks removed, tracks added, etc.

Its going to be dope, though.

Trance. I love trance. Its epic. Melodic. It bangs. Good stuff. Theres...

Day 2,371: A Great Day

I had a great day today.

I felt like me again. And I think it was as simple as having a very specific, very doable goal for my writing this morning, which I exceeded, and thatman. It really set the tone.

I was focused with my work after that. Did my reading in the late afternoon. Walked the dogs, and then I was done. Work was over. I felt really, really accomplished.

Such a simple fix. Huge result.

We watched Civil War tonight, continuing our Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch. Its sooooo...
