Day 3,878: Squeaky

Struggle with the writing today. Didn’t get up on time and just couldn’t recover. Sigh. Back at it tomorrow. Going to bed on time.

Otherwise a fine day. Got my work done. Got some snacks. Spent some time with Bear.

Night night.

Day 3,877: snore

A weird day. Got some work done but not a lot. We started a new show called Scavenger’s Reign and it’s so good! So weird, but in a great way.

Need a nice good nights sleep and back up in the AM. Night night.

Day 3,876: Sunny

We have a pup staying over with us! Her name is Sunny, she’s a norwegian elkhound, and she’s such a sweetie. Our friends the Kings are going on a a dope-ass trip to Greece and London, and we’re going to have a blast with Sunny while they’re gone. At least for part of the time. Since Coops doesn’t get along with most other dogs—especially ones larger than he is, *eyeroll*—he’s actually staying over at Tommen’s house, which we’re calling summer camp. So, it’s just us, Joy, and Sunny. Looking forwa...

Day 3,875: Rob

Went to Sherilyn’s 4th birthday today. Four! Just that is a wonderful miracle given everything she’s been through. She was so happy, so engaged and silly, and really excited everyone was there. We played some games together like pointing to Bluey’s body parts and arm up-up and down. She babbled, and smiled a lot. It was amazing. She was so much better than the last time I’d seen her, which admittedly, was a couple years ago. And it was so nice to hang out with Aaron and Marie too. It was a reall...

Day 3,874: Odesza 2

It’s 1am! Making it a quick one…we went and saw Odesza. Again. First time was almost two years ago. Same tour! They’d definitely added some new fun stuff, and it was an “extended set”…super fun. Went with KBear, who got us tickets.

Anywho…night night. Wiped!

Day 3,873: Parity

We’re watching The Jinx: Part Two finally, which is coverage of the Robert Durst trial, and tonight its just making me think about the fact that some people will literally like you just because you’re rich. I get it, truly. Money makes almost anything possible, at least when it comes to navigating through the world. It can’t touch anything on the inside, really, but it’s the most powerful force in everything outside. So, yeah. I get it. Rich people have access to things the rest of us don’t—that...

Day 3,872: A Quick

It’s time for bed. We stayed up a little late watching the second season of The Jinx, finally. But I rocked four hours of writing. And did my Netflix work.

Now…sleep. Do it again tomorrow.

Day 3,871: Four Hours

Did it. Cranked in four hours today. Mentally wiped, but I did it. They weren’t the BEST four hours of work I’ve ever done, but I did them, and I got good progress out of them. Whew.

It is SO TAXING to outline. I have to answer aaalllll the questions. The big ones, anyway. Get the story into a shape where I’m excited to write it. It’s the only way that works for me. That anxiety over something not being quite fleshed out enough, or not working, or questions unanswered are killers for me when ...

Day 3,870: Quick!

Making it a quick one tonight because I need to SLEEP. It was a fine day. But not great. And it’s because I didn’t get up on time, which is because I didn’t have a great night’s sleep. Gonna fix that tonight.

Night night 🙂

Day 3,869: We Roll

I did a couple things today that I’ve—inexplicably beyond just…ADHD or something like it—been putting off for a LONG time. Like, two years, I think it’s been since I got these things and have been meaning to put them up.

Well, a couple nights ago, someone was prowling around my car parked out in our front yard. We know because they dropped an iPhone there. Random, I know. I think they were probably high. Maybe even un-housed. Anyway…it just reminded Liz and I that we have security cameras tha...
