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...

Day 3,834: No Time

Making tonight’s entry a quick one because it’s already past bed time. Twas helping Liz with some auditions. She did so great!

Good day today. Got yummy fruits and veggies from the Hollywood Famer’s Market with Liz and Ali. Got my haircut. Did laundry. Rocked auditions.

A good weekend. Night night.

Day 3,833: Vinyls

Took our goddaughter Mir to pick out and buy her first records today. She just turned 15, and her parents got her a turntable and speakers for her birthday. Grandma and Grandpa brought over some vintage records as well…but this was the first time going to a record store and picking out her own albums. She got David Bowie’s Tonight, The Cure’s The Top, and…oh man, blanking on the third. Gah. Anyway, it was a good haul.

Then we helped her get it set up in her room, since everything was still in...

Day 3,832: Wetzel

A zero writing day today, but I’m not surprised. It was late to bed—podcasting last night—and a busy day for work. I’ll make it up by grooving next week. Get this shit DONE.

Coops is getting better. For real this time. He’s not squinting all the time anymore. Combo of all the meds he’s on, I’m sure, but I have a hankering feeling its this serum that’s doing the heaviest lifting. Well…that and whatever is helping with the inflammation reduction. And I suppose the antibiotics are also clutch. O...

Day 3,831: Candy Roundup

Late night. We were ‘castin. Continuing our journey through Hitchcock. We’re halfway through—more than halfway, actually, which is wild. Feels like the beginning took so long, and now we’re in the middle and it’s just flying by. 28 films we’ve watched so far. Crazy.

Bit of an unexpected busy day. Several meetings that were a bit long. A few loose ends that needed cleaning up on a couple older projects. Twas a decently busy day for sure. And then podcasting of course.

A good day though. A r...

Day 3,830: ‘Tainer

Joy, once again, curled up right in my lap. Right behind this iPad as I type this. Falling asleep. So happy. Me too, babes, Me, TOO.

It was a better day today! I got up on time. I got my writing done, and didn’t make oodles of progress, but I am happy with what I did. I really do love the detailed outlining phase to a large degree because I know when it’s ready. I know when I can move on. It’s like a list of scenes and I get to check them off one by one when I know they’re in good shape, and ...

Day 3,829: Robit

Sigh. Another zonked day. But not tomorrow. I can feel it. Tomorrow, it’s as simple as getting up on time, staying off my phone, and just going for it. Back into the zone. It’s going to feel good. A relief.

I took another epiiiccc nap today. Finished a project for work (almost done, anyway—the heaviest lifting, at least, should be behind us if all goes well), and checked the eff out for a couple hours. I needed that nap. Big time. Whew. Hopefully all part of getting my feet back onto the grou...
