Day 3,844: Stronger Will

Another productive day. Three in a row. A Christmas miracle! Really what’s going on is that I’m in a rhythm. I’m deep enough into the story that things have decent momentum all on their own. It’s easier to sit down and pick up where I left off. Need to stay in the groove and ride this dang thing out.

Two books. Big story. I can do it.

Wiped, though. No naps so far this week. I’ve been too busy. Sigh. Maybe tomorrow.

Writing this entry tonight on the old iPhone because Joy is snuggled so...

Day 3,843: Whole Elephant

Looooong work day today. But, I did it all. Whew. Even had a little time in the evening to watch some basketball. The Thunder look pretty good for how young they are, that’s for sure. I actually think KD should go back there if they don’t win it all this year and help them get their first ring. He’s not a free agent, so that’s very unlikely, but still. That’s how he redeems himself. I can see it.

We have a house guest! She’s in town shooting a movie, I think (?), but regardless…it’s nice to h...

Day 3,842: Booty

Glorious new sheets. The patio lights twinkling outside, sliding door open letting in the night air. Life is good.

I had a productive day. Lots of Netflix work. All my writing. Snuck in a trip to Costco (and Ralph’s) and the fridge is full again. Pups fed, walked and medicated (Coops is doing so well!). And a nice hang on the couch with Bear. It was a good day. I’m wiped, lol.

Nice and cool in the morning, warm during the day, and cool tonight. I think it’s going to be like this for a few ...

Day 3,841: Thrifty

A really good Sunday. We went to this italian deli in Venice and had the most amazing sammy’s. It was a cool, windy day, but the sun was out and the clouds were puffy. Gorgeous.

Lando Norris won the Miami Grand Prix—big bit of luck, for sure, but in the end held onto it and even extended his lead entirely on merit. The McLarens were quick today! It was their first race on their most-recent update, so hopefully this means we’ll get legit fights with Red Bull more often. The racing is SO MUCH m...

Day 3,840: Back Catalogue

The NBA app on Apple TV added something that makes me very excited: all the old seasons. IN FULL. Previously, it was restricted to, like, the previous calendar year on the Apple TV app. You could go back to older seasons on the web browser site version of League Pass, and it worked on the iPad…but not on apple tv. Now it does! Woohoo! I can go back and re-live the Warriors glory days. And I’m going to. Starting with the 2014/15 title run, I think. We’ll see. A salve for how rough the past two se...

Day 3,839: All Too Well

Joy all the way up on my lap, no room for the iPad, so I’m typing this on my phone again. Thanks Joy! Little love bug.

Work was light today, which was nice. I was a bit zonked all day because of the busy week. Got to take a nice little nap towards the end, and then we went and saw The Fall Guy with Liz and Ali, which was so fun. Movie was a little rough around the edges, but ended up working. Very charming. Emily Blunt is a treasure.

Night night.

3,838: HBD

Happy Borthday to my Bear! Love how autocorrect did absolutely nothing there, lol. But yes, ‘tis the day of birth for the love of my life. So lucky to get to spend it with you.

Can’t remember if I’ve written about it here yet or not, but daaaammmnn these allergies did me a wallop this week. I lost my damn voice! Still haven’t got it back yet, and we’re three days in. Blech. Doesn’t help that I’ve spent so much time outside getting work done.

It was another day of that today: I put up all t...

Day 3,837: Joyzilla

Whew. Busy day. Another one!

For real, though, I think I’ve actually gone a bit too hard the past few days. At least physically. Push-ups, yoga, AND a couple hours working in the yard. Too much. Wiped me out today…even though I still had several hours of work to finish in the front yard. And I did! Didn’t get the string lights up, and that has to happen tomorrow, but it’s a rest day anyway.

Sigh.

Hanging in there. Routine disruptions are what they are. I hang with them as best I can.

Day 3,836: To Bed!

The pups always get so excited for bed. Especially when we’re watching Tommen, because Tommen does everything at 100 miles per hour. I’ve radar gunned him. That’s not a made-up stat. So, yes, he also goes to bed at 100 mph, and that gets the other pups going. They love it. Enthusiasm is infectious.

Lost my voice today for no reason at all. Liz says I was snoring last night, even on my side, which is abnormal for me. I could feel it, actually, falling asleep…the post-nasal drip from allergies....

Day 3,835: Packed!

Long day today. Whew! But…I did it all. I even weeded in the waning hours of the evening. I went as long as I could see. Ended up getting in an hour. Need to make it two hours tomorrow. Maybe even more. We’ll see. Lots to do, and I want to get it done before Liz’s dad gets here this week for her birthday. I want it to at least look like someone is taking care of that front yard…and not nobody, which is what it’s been for the past several weeks. Been busy, man.

I wrote for my full time. I’m in...
