Day 2,184: Near Zero

I realized today looking at my number of posts that I must have repeated a number within the past month or so. Last night’s blog entry was numbered #2,182…but really, it should have been #2,183.

I just went at looked, and it was the weekend of J and Mike’s wedding. In fact, I’m pretty sure the mis-numbered happened the actual day of their wedding…so, I was distracted for obvious reasons

Day 2,182: Still Cray

Still feeling totes out of my routine…but handling it.

Today was more low key on the work front, which was nice. Had a great writing sesh to start the day, did work, and then finished just early enough to head over and do podcasting a little earlier than usual…which was GREAT.

I was home by 10, which means I’m going to bed right now only slightly later than usual. THAT right there may be the key to podcasting during the week when absolutely necessary. It doesn’t wipe me out so much.

Casting was great. We h...

Day 2,181: I Thought

I thought maybe I was burning out. Or getting sick, maybe. Or that the turn in weather–it’s that super dry, super hot, nasty ass Santa Ana winds, LA fall weather right now– had been getting the best of me.

Turns out I was just stressed about getting this work project done on time

Day 2,180: Six and Oh

How can I make tomorrow a satisfying, back-to-normal kind of day?

I think I need to try and work from home all day. That is the first thing that comes to mind and makes me relax a bit. I’d have time to write, get my Netflix work done, and make sure the pups were taken care of if I was able to work from home.

And that’s entirely possible. I don’t like that it would short notice for my coordinator…but it’s possible.

I’m going to ask.

I’m watching the building and the pups for three more days, and then it’s back to n...

Day 2,179:

I’ve been writing short entries the past few days, but only because I’ve been so busy.

Life is good right now. I feel good. Tired for sure, and I had too much on my plate last week, but I knew that would be the case going in…and I guess I feel like I did pretty good with that. I hung in there.

Wears me out, though. Which is why today was a day I was looking forward to so much. A day to just kinda recharge.

And I did. I went to therapy. I visited a new hobby shop in Burbank. New for me. Not for the store

Day 2,178: my

Good lawd today was packed. Oof. So busy. But, I got shit done. Work. Writing. Podcast. It was good.

More tomorrow.

Day 2,177: Quick one

Quick one tonight.

Stressful day. Sigh.

Here’s to a better day tomorrow!

Day 2,176: Thumbin it

Day was helter skelter today, but I know exactly why: routine was changed.

I rolled with it, nonetheless. Did my two writing sessions. Didn’t finish my rewrite notes, but that’s because my brain legit shut down after about an hour. It was like “nope, you have zero battery left.”

Day 2,175: So Tie Tie

I was struggling with a scene today, and I had kind of an epiphany.

I realize now in retrospect that the critical voice was getting the best of me. It was telling me all the reasons why the scene I was trying to write wasn’t going to work, and I wasn’t sure how to fix it. The concept of “shoe leather” kept coming into my head. I worried nothing was happening.

But, I didn’t realize that at the time. What I realized at the time was that there WAS a reason I wanted to write the scene, and that r...

Day 2,174: Cysts and Crypts

Coops got his large back cyst removed today at the vet. He has to wear the donut of shame again…though he honestly doesn’t mind it all that much. He likes to lay down on it. Keeps his head propped up, which he likes.

Stitches in his back look pretty gnarly, but doc says he’s gonna he fine. Poor Coops.

Work was solid today. Did both my big writing sessions. Then came home and podcasted. We watched The Last Crusade and it was awesome. Such a good movie.

Anywho, way past bed time. Gotta hit the...
