Day 2,188: Busy Sunday
Man…my day was busy today.
No nap. But, I don’t feel exhausted. I got a lot of stuff done today that I wanted to and needed to get done…and that makes me feel good. We’ll see if I feel it tomorrow.
Niners destroyed the Panthers today. I’ve said it a few times, but this game truly, truly showed me just how good the Niners are. They’re legit. I don’t honestly know if they’re elite yet, since they have yet to play an elite, truly dangerous team, like the Chiefs (with Mahomes), or the Saints or the Patriots…but we’r...

Day 2,187: Up and Down
It’s been an up and down week. Today was an up and down day. Anxiety-wise, that is.
It’s stupid, but it made me anxious to make Coco boiled ground beef and rice, just because I’d never done it before. And it made me anxious to take her in to get groomed. But…I did those things, and then I had a pretty nice evening with the pups.
I watched Space Cowboys. It was on my list as a prototype story for the old fogies military SciFi series I’ve been kicking about. I actually broke it down into sequences as I...

Day 2,186: A Break in the Clouds
You never know when breakthroughs are going to happen.
It can be anything that sets them off. Any little thing. Or big thing. And then a moment of clarity.
Ah. It’s the freaking best feeling.
I had one of those moments today with my story. And perfect timing, since I’m just about to write a pivotal, very important scene that wouldn’t have made nearly as much sense or had nearly as much impact had I not had the clarity come to me today. It’s damn perfect timing, actually. Maybe it makes a lot of sense I had the clar...

Day 2,185: Dubs Drubbed
Dubs got steamrolled tonight by, arguably, the early-season lock in the West for the Finals this year.
It was an ugly loss on the offensive side. They gave up 46 in the 3rd quarter. They scored 122 points on the night, which is encouraging, but that defense. Yiiiikes. It’s the price they’re paying to have re-upped with Kevin Durant for three seasons. Worth it, though. Two titles in three years? Fuck yes. But, there’s always a price to be paid, eventually. Dubs are paying it now.
They might not make th...

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.
