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...

Day 3,854: Seven Million

You know, I’ve been dogging it a bit lately on the old blog. Not quite…well, I was going to say “truthful” but that’s not quite it. I’ve been saying what’s on my mind, so it’s not that. But…I think it’s actually more of not realizing where I was at, really. Not thinking about it.

I did today for some reason. I was driving out to Matt King’s birthday party, and I realized that I’ve been struggling with all my “hustle” stuff lately because I feel like I’ve fallen behind. That I’m late. That I’v...

Day 3,853: Wiped

Another good day. TIRED. But good. Keeping this one short…more tomorrow 🙂

Day 3,852: My Name Is Cooper

Making this a quick one because we’re going to bed ON TIME tonight kiddos.

I’m wiped. But it was a good, busy day. Looking forward to getting my ass up on time tomorrow and banging out more of this outline. WOOT.

Day 3,851: Bram Stoker’s Lifeboat

Podcasted tonight, but still doing this entry and going to bed at a reasonable hour. About 30 minutes late for a Wednesday night. Not bad!

It was a good watch tonight. Lifeboat. Probably Hitch’s best film he’s made so far, at least in execution, top to bottom. It worked. Really, really well. Great discussion about it. Gonna be a really nice podcast, dropping on Monday. And always great to hang with my best friend.

It’s late, so I’ll keep it short. Good day today. Got back to writing. Work ...

Day 3,850: Even Guiltier

Woke up again feeling off, but you know what? We rallied! I’m feeling normal again. Getting up tomorrow on time for sure, and cranking more on this detailed outline. Figuring this shit OUT.

Watched some WNBA basketball. Today was the first day of the new season. It was fun! The Aces are very, very good. It was a good game between them and the Mercury. And Caitlin Clark was so-so in her debut. They got smashed in the 4th by the Sun. But she scored 20. An inefficient 20—lots of turnovers—but st...

Day 3,849: Been Good

Bit of a misfire today, but really only on the exercise and writing fronts. Otherwise, I had a normal day. See…I woke up fatigued, with a sore throat and having got up a couple times in the night BECAUSE…I ran out of the allergy meds with the decongestant in them. I wondered if I needed the “D” in the Zyrtec. Took a D-less 24-hour one yesterday morning, which also meant no fresh zyrtec for the night.

Mistake.

I need that shit. That was enough to derail me. I felt it. I didn’t have the hust...
