Day 3,686: Cow Tube

Way late tonight because I went to see Dune 2 with my bud Reed, and it was super fun. Not perfect, but it gets a “see it!” from me.

Quiet day, but got some good stuff done.

Night night.

Day 3,775: Navalny

It’s already past bed time, so a short one this evening. It was because we stayed up to watch Navalny all the way to the end, the doc made a couple years ago after the Russian opposition leader had recovered from the nerve agent attack against him and was preparing to return to Russia. He did, and he was arrested in the airport. He died in prison a couple years later, just last week.

It’s a very good documentary. Very much worth watching.‘

Day 3,684: Hyperion

A banner day for movies, out of nowhere.

I’m halfway through Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky. It’s been on my list to watch for a while, now; ever since watching his Solaris really and absolutely being blown away by it. Solaris is the only film I’ve ever seen that does what 2001 does. Sooooooo maaaannnyyy movies and filmmakers have tried to do what that movie does, and none of them do it. Except Solaris. So…Tarkovsky’s other scifi-ish film has been on the list.

What. The fuck. Was I WAITING FO...

Day 3,683: Worf 359

A solid day. Last night was an adventure though; literally right after turning out the lights to fall asleep, Joy decided to puke in bed. All over the sheets. And the mattress below. So, it was a quick strip of the bed, tossing the sheets into the wash, dabbing off the mattress (and febreezing it), and then making the bed all over again. Which we’d done a couple hours earlier already because it was Sunday.

And then she puked again. This time, Liz was able to snatch her off the bed in time.

Day 3,682: Chaos > Order

I wasn’t sure what kind of day this was going to be for me today. I didn’t have anything planned, per se. I just wanted to wake up and see how I felt. Was wiped out and exhausted a few days ago at the end of last week, and this weekend was going to offer a couple slivers here and there to kinda recharge.

I did recharge today, but not in the way I expected. I cleaned! I did five loads of laundry (only two of our clothes, obvs – the rest was sheets and towels and whatnot), and I did two power m...

Day 3,681: Visalia

It was Ashika’s 4th birthday (party) today. She turns 4 for real on Monday. But, today was the big bash, and big it was. She legit had like 20 kids show up. Bounce house in the backyard. Tons of pizza. Moana showed up.

We went up early to help get everything ready. It looked so good! And then drove back home. I’m wiiiiiped. Super wiped. But happy to be getting to bed on time. Whew. Coops came up with us. He was so good. Loved all the peoples, kids included. He’s so good like that; loves ALL p...

Day 3,680: Le Quick

Making this a quick one, but…took it more low-key today. Work was actually fairly busy, but I didn’t try to cram in all the other stuff. I mentally took it off. Let stuff go.

It worked. I feel better. One step toward better, anyway.

Mental recharge, here I come.

Night night.

Day 3,679: The Wall

Hit a bit of a wall today energy-wise. And not even writing-wise, just in general. Writing was good this morning! Great, even. It’s coming together. The best week I’ve had writing so far this year, in fact. But man…round lunch, when it was time to do yoga…I was done. Done with the day. Wanted to conk out. I so rarely get like that, it was noticeable. I’m not exactly sure why, except that I’ve definitely gone hard these past few weeks.

I rallied though! I rallied to finish work, go to therapy,...

Day 3,768: Counterpart

Left my iPad out in my office. Eye roooollll. Thumbin it over here on the old iPhone.

Joy is being a maniac tonight. So silly. Right now she’s digging into my leg like she needs to build a burrow. And now she just dove underneath the blankets and wants to play blanket monster. Crazy baby.

Three days in a row getting up on time and getting in all three hours of writing in! I think maybe I was trying to force a 6:30 start time when 6:45/7am is really the sweet spot for me. Like…THE sweet spo...
