Day 3,864: Philly

It’s bed time, so a quick one…but a good day. A really good day. Wiped! But good.

K.

Night night.

Day 3,863: Holiday

I think today was exactly what I needed, this extra day off. Whew. Committed to a new short-term project with a friend, so that adds a little extra to my plate…but it’s something I haven’t done before, something I’ve always wanted to do. So, that’s exciting! I’m super excited. And nervous. I really hope I can do a good job for my friend.

I got rest. My head space is: let’s go. Let’s get this shit done. That’s a good headspace to be in. It’s time. The weather is starting to get warm. It’s go t...

Day 3,862: Go Time

It was a very pleasant day off today. Little bit of the “what do I do” anxiety that comes sometimes with a day off, where I feel like I should be productive on something. I struggle with that, for sure…but it was mild today. I mostly just watched sports. Racing. Ate junk food. Took a nap. Hung out with the pups. It was a day I needed, and I’m so grateful I have another day like that tomorrow.

But it is go time. I need to get this outline done, and then do the next one. That’s what’s on my min...

Day 3,861: Together

Cooper is always trying to get everyone in the same room, preferably the bedroom. Like, CONSTANTLY. If Liz and I are in separate rooms and, say, he’s with me, every time I get up or otherwise make like I’m going to be leaving, he’ll run to where Liz is, looking over his shoulder as he goes, like trying to make sure that I follow him. And if Liz and I are together anywhere in the house and do the same, he’ll run towards the bedroom. The bedroom is his favorite place in the world. It’s safe there,...

Day 3,860: Dreams

Notorious Book Thieves At Large!

It was a fun movie tonight for the ‘cast. We watched Spellbound. One of Hitch’s best so far. Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Now, it’s late and time for sleeeeep. Night night 🙂

Day 3,859: The Long Run

Whew. I’m wiped. It was…man, I thought it was going to be a banner day. Turned out to be hit and miss. Not bad! Just not as productive as I thought it might be.

My working drive that I have all my projects on for work died this morning. Just wouldn’t start up. That could have been massively stressful and disastrous…but I got lucky. It happened at almost the perfect time; the project I’m on was easily reconstructable, so I was back up and running in like 30 minutes. Whew! Bullet: dodged. Makes...

Day 3,858: A Quick!

Quick one tonight, but only bc it’s sleepy time already. It was a good day today! REALLY didn’t want to get up on time…but I did, and the writing (research) sesh’s were really good. I feel like I’m back in the groove. Whew!

Night night.

Day 3,857: Not Hittin It

Joy just made the bed. And by that I mean dug away at the blankets like a mad person and then flopped down onto my arm with a big sigh. Coops right now is doing the same to the bench down at the foot of the bed. Dogs. They’re crazy!

A so-so day today. Lacked focus on the writing side, but then I kinda rallied and updated the finances for the two weeks where we travelled and hadn’t really kept track of things. I’d been putting that off. But, it’s done now. Whew. Not too bad. We did obviously o...

Day 3,856: Just Like That

A normal day today. Got all my shit done; I even got work done in the front yard. The key, I’ve realized, is that I have to do that front yard work BEFORE we walk that dogs (which we do around 6/6:30)…because AFTER that walk, I am wiped. Wiped the eff out. But if I do them before…golden.

That won’t always be possible. Work has to cooperate and let me do my writing a little early, which it did today. That was nice. I very much enjoy a work day that’s busy, but not crazy. That was today.

Hel...

Day 3,855: The Dark Man

Going to bed on time. Got all the laundry done and the sheets on the bed are NEW…fixin to get a good night’s sleep.

I had a nightmare last night that kind of matched the book I’m reading. First time that’s even happened to me! It’s also the first time that I’ve read Stephen King, which is odd, because I wouldn’t say this book is all that scary. But I had the nightmare nonetheless. It was a little funny, because the nightmare wasn’t exactly a nightmare. I was literally WATCHING a scary movie i...
