Day 4,349: The Never-Ending Man

It’s bed time so this one is suuuper quick tonight: wrote. Worked. Napped. Therapied. Podcasted.

Now: sleeeeep 🙂

Day 4,348: Coco Everywhere

I had one of those days today where I woke up waaaaay to early and couldn’t get back to sleep. Sigh. So I was tiiiiired today. Still, I did my work. Even my reading at the end of the night.

I’m picking up my writing session tracking again, I think. We’ll see if it sticks. I have this moleskin I used to use (all the way back in 2021!) when I was working on the first Glory book. Each daily writing session gets a little square, and I color it in if I did that session. Liz gave me this rainbow se...

Day 4,347: Princess Joy

Late! Late, and getting up early in the AM to give Coops his drops, still, so this will be a quick one…

Got my ass up and outlined. Work was BUSY today. Whew! But I got everything done. We did a Costco run before work, though, and filled up the fridge and pantry. Thank goodness. And for the evening, we went to a book signing with Matt Dinniman, who does the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. He was so nice. I actually know (of) him from my 20Books days. He’s a fellow indie author. Went to the Vegas...

Day 4,346: Belly

Played hackey sack with Wolfie, then the Pokémon game he wanted to play with me. He was SO excited to do that. Like, squealing with joy levels of excited. So that was fun.

Got up early, as per usual now to give the Coops all his meds. That meant I was able to watch F1, though, and eat breakfast, and as we all know, morning sports are my favorite kind of sports.

Big nap when we got home from the King’s. Stephen and Thida picked up Tommen. We watched the Niners game, and what a game it was! ...

Day 4,345: Quali

So, Saturday mornings are my favorite mornings now during the English football season because I get to wake up and watch a Wrexham game. It’s like American Football in the sense that every game is so massive because they only play once a week (for the most part—there are exceptions). And, it’s first thing in the morning here in LA. I love it. Liz and the pups are snoozing. It’s cool and quiet. I make food and watch my sports. Heaven!

Did that this morning. Watched some F1, too, which is the o...

Day 4,344: Five Movies

It be late…but it was a good day today! Busy busy busy, but good. Coops got a thumbs up from his eye doc about the progress of his eye healing. Tommen was feeling better today after being in a lot of pain yesterday. Joy was perfect. Got lots of Netflix work, actually, but handled it like a boss…and then podcasting with Josh to finish out the evening. It was a great day.

Night night.

Day 4,343: Cheep

We have Tommen boy in the house, halleloo! He’s hurt his leg already, however. Or, he hurt it before he got here and now he’s limping on it. Sigh. It’s been an issue for him for the past few months due to an injury jumping up onto his bed. Tweaked his knee, I think. It’s been stubborn healing. But, we got him on some meds and we have systems in place to make sure there’s no jumping while he’s with us. Poor bubs. He’s nice and medicated now, though. Suuuuuper sleepy. Which means happy.

Waiting...

Day 4,342: Back Baby!

Epic naps are my jam. They REVIVE ME. I know the science says don’t nap for too long. It’s true most of the time…but when you’re exhausted far more than normal, maaaannn…an epic nap can bring you back. It did for me today. I slept for an hour and a half I think and I could feel my brain working better when I got up. Like, I wanted to get out into my office and DO things. So I did. And then storm clouds rolled in, it got windy, and we took the pups for an early walk.

It was muggy AF today. Dis...

Day 4,341: Quality

I am wiiiiiped out so making this a quick one.

Great visit. Work was actually pretty busy. Wow I am so bushwhacked from the weekend, lol. Pups are great. Bear is great. It was hot.

Night night 🙂

Day 4,340: Moonday

Getting up in the middle of the night for Cooper’s eyedrops has shredded my sleep time, ha. I’ve been suuuuper tired. I mean, big weekend, too. But really taken it out of me. I said it before when we had to take Joy out several times in the night to pee when she was a puppy: respect to parents. That shit is not easy. Whew! But, the Coops continues to improve, I think? Verrrry slowly, but improving. Or, at least, he’s not getting worse. His eye still looks like murder, it’s criss-crossed with a b...
