Day 2,287: We’re Going Back In Tiiime
I have that song “we’re going back in tiiiime” stuck in my head for some reason. Haven’t listened to it. It just popped in my head. I wonder why that happens? Those random songs or phrases or whatever that just slip into our thoughts.
Today was…decent. I didn’t get my afternoon writing session in because the work shuttle was undermanned and I had to leave half an hour early from work. That was frustrating. And tomorrow, I likely won’t get my morning session in…I don’t know. We’ll see. I’ll...

Day 2,286: Sports
It’s a lot to be a sports fan, sometimes. It’s so stressful.
There are 32 teams in the NFL. Two of them get to play in the Super Bowl for all the marbles and glory. It’s really, really, really hard to get get there. Which means that every year one team is destined for a giant heartbreak.
It’s even worse in baseball, where you have to survive an 11-win (at least) gauntlet to claim the trophy.
So, it’s a big deal to play in that last championship game. It’s also incredibly stressful because I...

Day 2,285: Clean Pups
The pups are clean and cut.
Took them this morning to the groomers and they look so freaking good right now. So clean. Smelling so good. So, soooo SOFT.
Coco has been particularly sweet tonight. Very cuddly. I picked her up while I was watching the Warriors beat the Cavs (their best game of the year so far!), and she sighed immediately into the crook of my elbow and proceeded to PASS OUT there for the next hour.
I think they’re so tired after the doomers because they’re stressed being there....

Day 2,284: Whadda Day
Good lord. So wiped. It’s 1am
So we’re keeping this short. Solid writing. Good not great. Work was great. Got everything done I needed to. Podcasting was great. And exhausting.
And now it’s time to rest. The weekend is here, and I’ve earned it

Day 2,283: Care Package
Today, you guys, was a solid day.
I was in a funk last week. And a bit early this week. I’m officially out of it now. Feeling better. Feeling more even-keeled. Feeling more myself.
I was nervous, honestly, about moving to working with a new editor. It’s just change, you know? An unknown. I didn’t know how it was going to go.
We met today for our first real session together and it went great! Like…really good. I got everything out of it that I would get from my sessions with J. It was...

Day 2,281: Little Snores
Coco is snoring right now pressed up into my torso. She stared at me while I was brushing my teeth because she wanted me to come to bed. Then as soon as I did, she snuggled into my side, fell asleep, and started snoring.
She’s still having tummy problems. Another blowout today. Liz took her in to see the doctor and we’re trying a different food. See how she does. She’s also lost more weight, which is frustrating because we’ve been feeding her a little extra. That, I think, may be as simple as...

Day 2,280: There Is A Sound…
There is a sound that SciFi film scores have.
I’m listening to Max Richter’s score for Ad Astra right now. The track is “Journey Sequence” and it has woodwinds, I think, playing this twinkling melody with some strings underneath for droning support…and it sounds like so many science fiction fillms.
This isn’t a bad thing. It sounds like space.
It sounds vast, and cold, and a little bit lonely, and a lot of filled with awe and wonder. Which is what I imagine space to be like.
So, you know, it’...

Day 2,279:
Watching Tanya Tucker sing right now at the Grammy’s. She’s a legend.
Decently busy Sunday. Time to go to bed now
