Day 1,587: Thumbs
Who’s got two thumbs and is writing his daily blog journal post thing on his phone. This guy

Day 1,586: Angst
Blleeaaarrrcccchhhhbbbggghhhh.
Today was not the writing day I’d hoped for. This is what happens when I spend time away from this keyboard. And you know what? There’s no excuse. There really isn’t. Traveling is not enough in and of itself for me not to sit down for even fifteen minutes each day and write words. This is what happens.
The story is cold. I have to warm it back up again.
I wrote 150 words today. Plus some editing. I also journaled. Not like the journaling I do here…it’s part free...

Day 1,585: The Queen
Man…Castle Rock was so, sooooooo good last week. One of the better episodes of television I’ve seen in a long, long time. Tense, scary, twisty, moving. Surprisingly moving. It had the Ho bawling next to me, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t elicit a dew drop or two from my own peepers.
You’re missing out if you’re not watching that show. It’s definitely had its ups and downs already…but “The Queen” was excellence. It was an episode crafted by someone who truly knows what they’re doing, at...

Day 1,584: Home Cookin
We’re home.
We leave again this coming weekend, but it’s nice to be home for now.
I have a shiiiiit-ton of writing to do this week. Sigh. And I’ll do it. I really will. Just need to get in there and get my hands dirty. And I will!
We have to buy a new car…which kinda sucks, to be honest, but we’re making the best of it. We’ve found what car we want, and we’re getting a good idea on what’s a good price for it. We actually went and test-drove one tonight and got to haggling with the local car l...

Day 1,582: Family
I love my family.
I love spending time with them, I really do. In this instance, it was an entire day with Liz’s sister Julianne, and then later, Scott and Addie. It was just a perfect day. It really was. We also got to spend time with some new family: the parents of J’s fiancé, Jon and Rita.
That’s where our day started: we drove out to their house, which is about 30 minutes south of Portland. They’ve only recently moved into this house, actually, and they showed us around their retirement d...

Day 1,581: Dress Shopping
I went wedding dress shopping today.
It’s not my story to tell…but it was a very successful day for my sister in law

Day 1,580: Hangin
Okay, so we came up to Portland for, like, the first decent weather in FOREVER according to our siblings. So, that’s nice

Day 1,579: Portlannnnddd
Sigh.
I did not get my words written today. Dammit. Or is it damnit? How do you spell it?
It was a very hectic day. A travel day. We’re up in Portland, and I really wanted to write in the morning, but there just wasn’t enough time. I thought I was going to have the time, but I didn’t plan correctly.
And, I want to get my words done tomorrow, so I need to plan that. We’ll see. It’s hard, but it’s not impossible. I’m promising right here and now, I will have written 1,500 words tomorrow.
Saw my...

Day 1,578: One of those daze
Man, today was one of those days where everything kinda just went off the rails. Sigh.
It wasn’t a mental day off. It wasn’t laziness. There was just a lot of un-planned urgent stuff that had to be taken care of today, and I spent most of it driving around Los Angeles
