Day 3,812: Handsome Boy

I wrote today. That was good. What a busy, busy couple weeks. I hung with it pretty good, all things considered. Genuinely. There’s not much time for else when you’re pulling twelve, fourteen hour days with work. And those days mean recovery time for me. That’s always the hardest part for me, the recovery days where I could be writing, but I just can’t seem to get to the page. It’s burnout. I know that. But, still…any time I could be writing and I’m not never fails to make me feel like crap.

Day 3,811: S’Rainin

It rained today, even though it wasn’t in the forecast…which is wild, because I could tell it was going to rain from the moment I stepped outside this morning, lol. It’s a cold rain, too, though blessedly not that windy. Didn’t rain for long—maybe an hour or so…but everything is wet and shiny, now. And the air is cooold. Reminds me of…home. April showers. Before the May warmup and school is almost out.

I wanted to write today. I didn’t have the energy. But, I will tomorrow. I’m getting up on ...

Day 3,810: Coopey

A much more normal day. Finally.

It’s past bed time though, so we’re going to bed. Night night!

Day 3,809: Bizzy

Another crazy busy day. Been a lot of them! But we persist.

It’s past bed time, so that’s all I have for you tonight. Nighty night.

Day 3,808: Please, My Son

Wiped. Work. So busy. So, sooooo busy. But, we persist. And I got my stuff done! Crossed a big threshold today, which was nice. Another team really liked what we were working on.

Anyway…night night. Need a good sleep.

Day 3,807: Under Covers

Joy put herself under the covers tonight. She’s back up out of them right now, but she wrapped herself up under one of the blankets before we came into bed. lol. It’s a chilly night tonight, I guess. And she wants to be cozy. Now she’s up on top of Liz’s lap. That’s the Joy report.

We started 3 Body Problem tonight. The first episode was fine. Not great. I’ve heard, though, that it takes a few episodes to ratchet up, which is fine. What makes me nervous, though, is that I don’t care about any...

Day 3,806: S’rainin

A rainy day with bits of cloudy sunshine speckled in there. We did a lay-in. Slept in waaaay late. 1:30 for her, and the same for me, except I got up at 8 and was awake for a few hours—breakfast, walked dogs, watched some old F1 racing—and then I went back and joined her because I was falling asleep on the couch.

It was a busy busy week. For sure. I really needed this weekend to chill.

I was thinking about some characters in my upcoming book today, listening to music and driving over to Ni...

Day 3,805: A New Book

Another really, really busy day today. Whew. But, we’re here at the weekend. It’s raining outside. The dripping kind. Pups are snuggled up in bed. It’s sleepy time. I’ll have more to say tomorrow, I’m sure. For now…it’s simply “night night.”

Day 3,804: I’m Sure It Was Me

Another night of working through. Le sigh. But…the peeps are happy with the work so far, and that’s a relief.

It’s sleep time. I did my writing. I won’t get to do it tomorrow, unfortunately. Not with the morning I have ahead of me with…more work, lol. We’re getting there. Every so often work is crazy. I’d say about once every three or four months. And I wouldn’t dream of complaining about that, honestly, because the rest of the time, work is very, very reasonable. Projects need to get across ...

Day 3,803: Long Daze!

I worked twelve hours today! But that’s okay. I got my shit done. Writing, too.

Night night.
