Day 2,263: Friyay
This was a rough week.
Not emotionally. Nothing like that. I just mean…it wasn’t smooth. It was rough in the sense that I was jumping back into my routine after not having been in that routine for a while, and it was all over the place.
I had a good writing session today, man. Great, in fact. The scene came out super fast, super clear. And I think it’s a keeper. All because I remembered that I need to sit down and walk myself through the scene in my head before I start writing it.
Learned...

Day 2,262: Coco Interrupted
Today was rough for a very simple reason: Coco woke me up at 2:30 in the morning because she wasn’t feeling well. Poo explosion. Vomit, too. Poor baby.
And THEN I couldn’t get back to sleep. I tossed and turned for what turned out to be almost three hours, because…
Coco had to go out again at around 5:30 in the morning.
I got back to sleep a little after that. But, man…I got probably four or five hours of sleep total. And that was pushing my wake-up time back to try and make up for the whole...

Day 2,261: Another Quick
Making this one quick again tonight! It’s time for sleeps. Want to get a full 8 hours, and the only way to do that is to get my head on the pillow early enough.
Work was great today.
Writing was brief, but surprisingly good! That was a relief.
Then, I got to go downtown and meet up with a writer friend of mine, J Thorn. We got to talk shop together, and to know each other in person. That was honestly amazing. Cheers, J. Had a great time.
Then came home to my beautiful wife and our beautiful...

Day 2,260: Quick
Back in. Today felt normal. Felt very insecure about what I wrote, but…that felt normal too

Day 2,259: Chuffs
Coco.
A pea in a green blanket pod.
The green rises and falls as she breathes in
Breathes out.
She’s making coffee now
It steeps with each little burble of her breath
She sounds like a coffee maker
Falling asleep.
She makes the noises for me. So I know she’s happy.
Little chuffs.
She used to make them for her puppies.
Now
She makes them for me.
Good night Coco.

Day 2,258: Quick
Quick one because we stayed up late to watch the film Parasite, which was good.
Did more getting rid of old stuff today. Watched football. Did my writing. Took care of pups. Hung out with Bear.
It was a great day.
Back to work tomorrow.
Night!

Day 2,257
It was an odd day today just in the sense that I was kiiinda back to a normal routine. It was exactly what a Saturday from back before the holiday break would have been:
Woke up and ate, watched a little of The Clone Wars on Disney+. That’s a so-so show. I’m juuust getting started, but some of the episodes are quite good. There was one recently where we had to go rescue R2 that actually had me interested. Amazing how that happens when it’s a character you’re attached to.
Then I went to...

Day 2,256: AirPods by the Bed
So, I have two pairs of AirPods, now. My old ones, which have suffered from battery degradation to the point where I can’t use them for phone calls more than 10 minutes or so, and then my new ones that I use pretty much everywhere.
Well, my old ones had been sitting in a drawer in my office not being used. Duh. I had my new ones. Here’s the thing: I realized that I’d love to have music playing most nights when I sit down here in bed to do my last writing session of the day and then to write...
