Day 1,812: Scritches
Coops has a really itchy spot on his back, right along his spine, that I’ve been scratching for him lately. What I do is put my other hand along his belly so that when his little leg gets going whilst I scratching, it doesn’t actually scratch his skin, it goes up against my hand.
Coco, over on her side of the bed is mowing down on a Whimzee. It’s been so long since she ate one! And she destroyed it tonight. So, I thought her recent recalcitrance with the dental treats has been the ridges and...

Day 1,811: Sunday Open House
Today…I guess today was a bit of another recovery day.
We had to run an open house for our building, which meant I couldn’t leave. I had to stay home. The girls went out to the beach along with Mike, and I took the opportunity to have a quiet Sunday.
I feel out of it. No question. Better, for sure, but out of “it.” The groove. My normal routine. Tomorrow is going to be interesting, but I honestly think, guys, that I can get it done. Somehow, writing tomorrow evening feels more doable than it...

Day 1,809: Getting There!
I’m getting there. Finally! I was still a bit achy today and tired, but man…I was close. Close to feeling back to myself.
I know that’s true because I got a lot done today! I did dishes, and laundry, including a 6-hour oxyclean soak of our bed sheets which was soooo satisfying to see them come out so sparkly white and clean, and I also hung out with the Ho’s sister’s fiancé Mike. We watched some sportsball together and went and walked the pups together. Mike, if you ever read this: you’re a c...

Day 1,808: Big Dreams
Oof. Today was a bit of a sh*t show.
It was just one of those days, you know, where nothing goes to plan? Everything is stressful. Everything is harder than it needs to be. Le sigh.
It happens! I’m glad it’s over, and at the very least, I was finally able to catch my breath (literally…damn cold is still hanging on) and chill out in the evening. There’s just a lot going on.
I am still sick. No doubt about it. I even had a fever for a brief period of the day, BUT…I am feeling muuuuch better. I’...

Day 1,807: Plot Holes and Open Loops
Still sick. Le sigh. But, we push forward. We persist.
I might have pushed a bit too hard today. I was feeling better. I walked the pups, I did a bit of cleaning, I did a walkthrough for a unit in our building with the Ho…and it earned me a fever in the evening 
Day 1,806: Sleeeeep
Sooo much sleep.
Today was a fever day. Fevers are just the worst, aren’t they? Finally broke a bit tonight whilst I was hanging out with the Ho, but now it’s back. I’m thinking that Friday is my day. I’ll feel better on Friday. Sure hope so!
Had to cancel with Josh for tomorrow. Le sigh. I’ve had one day of writing in the past three…but I’m giving myself a pass. I have to. I can’t fucking do anything with a fever like this. Uuuuuggghhhh.
Tomorrow…I hope I feel better

2018 Movie #61: Castle in the Sky
‘Twas Miyazaki night number three, and his third feature film City in the Clouds was on the menu. It’s rather amazing to me how good his films are, right off the bat. We’ve already seen some range: a daring adventure, a grand epic. What does Hayao have for us next, and can he make it 3 for 3? Yup.
THE BLURB:
Young orphan Sheeta and her kidnapper, Col. Muska, are flying to a military prison when their plane is attacked by a gang of air pirates led by the matronly Dola. Escaping from a mid-air...

Day 1,805: Sick Day Part Deux
Ahhhh…the fever has set in. Big time. The suck, it has begun.
I did a bit of writing. Gonna do that even throughout all this sickness. Just to keep the ball rolling for when I’ve recovered.
Coco is *chomping* away at her dental treat. She doesn’t get the Whimzees any more. She stopped chewing on those. I think they were too hard for her. These ones are a little softer, but they’re much more flavored, and she still has to chew on them for, like, fifteen minutes. They’re perfect.
Uuuuuugggghhhh...
