Day 3,662: Streams

It wasn’t without bumps…but the first day of the conference today was a resounding success! Whew! Such a relief. And hopefully, it’s even smoother from here on out. It should be. I have faith. I trust my team.

Dry eyes though, good lord. Got some eyedrops. That should help. Some sleep too. Sleeeeep.

Night night.

Day 3,661: Coco

Missing Coco today. I wasn’t able to make the conference last year, last minute, because Coco needed back surgery. I think that’s why she’s been on my mind a lot today. Miss you, baby girl. So much.

Today went…well, my team is amazing. OBS, on the other hand, was giving us some unexpected trouble with our headphone monitoring. NOT happy about that. Especially because it seems to be a bit of a random bug. It’s not there’s one setting buried somewhere that will make it work…it’s been random, mo...

Day 3,660: Veegas

I can’t remember the last time that I used my laptop to write a blog entry for the night. But here I am! In Vegas, too. I only get two devices on the WiFi with my room here, so it’s my laptop and my phone. Ain’t no way I’m paying that extra $15.

The conference starts tomorrow. Excitement is high. It’s going to be a great show, and I know my team is going to do a good job. We’ve trained for this! Literally 🙂 Drive was easy. No traffic. I just beat it, in fact. I heard someone in the elevator w...

Day 3,659: Travel Eve

ALMOST got everything done for Vegas. I still have four more computers to put the finishing touches on, quickly edit and post the next Film School podcast, pack, and then skedaddle.

Decent drive. Five-plus hours. But, I’ve driven it many times before. Looking forward to the show. I feel prepared. Dialed in, and very organized. Thanks to you, Bear, for helping with that tonight. Saved me a ton of time. She’s clutch like that. Labels. Laminated instructions and checklists. It’s all there. WooHo...

Day 3,658: Consistency

I do enjoy consistency. I thrive on the routine of it. Like, I really rely on my Fridays podcasting with Josh to put a period on the end of the week and kick off the weekend. I really do enjoy that. It’s consistent.

Watched a clumsy early-effort tonight from Hitch. Pieces were there, they just didn’t come together in the end. Some poor choices along the way. But, you could see it. He’s in there, somewhere, trying to figure himself out. He just has to make some more of them. And he will. We kn...

Day 3,657: Wild Beast

Joy is a wild beast. She’s currently going ham on the comforter and her new waterproof SUPER soft cozy dog blanket from Costco. Good lord she loves this blanket already. She likes burying herself inside of it and wiggling around, then chewing on my hands through it. She’s crazy.

No urine tonight. So far. In all seriousness, there won’t be. We know exactly why it happened last night: she got scared from something we did by accident and piddled. It won’t happen again. Poor babes.

I was BUSY ...

Day 3,656: Pee!

Oh boy. It finally happened. A dog has peed in the bed. Like, right on the sheets so that it got onto the mattress. We’ve gone eleven years without that happening, but tonight was the night. Joy got scared and piddled. Poor babes. But, Liz to the rescue. She has a whole regimen to get it cleaned and then suck the odor out. And in the meantime, while that does its magic, we’ll sleep in the guest room. I just set that up.

Another busy busy day today. Tomorrow will be, too. But! I got stuff done...

Day 3,655: Hallow!

Happy Halloween everybody.

I…worked all day, lol. Super busy. BUT: finished just in time to sit outside on the porch with Bear and pass out candy to the neighborhood kids. We had a bunch come! Not a crazy amount, but a hefty amount. We bought way too much candy, but that’s okay. We’ll finish it. It was so freaking cute. SO. CUTE. Very, very wholesome.

Another busy day coming tomorrow. Night night.

Day 3,654: Other Bed

Happy Birthday Wolfie! Ten years old today. That’s wild. I remember when you were born. I didn’t realize it was the day after I started blogging, that’s kind of wild. I’ll have to look back and see if I mentioned that. I remember going to the hospital and meeting you, and helping to watch Mir and Thilde.

Tonight, we went out and had sushi with you. The whole fam, me and Liz, and Jackie, too. You pulled all the plates of the conveyor (it was a revolving sushi bar place) and put the empty ones ...

Day 3,653: Ten Years

It’s ten years tonight. Ten years since I first sat down and decided to write a blog/journal entry every day. At the start, it was going to be for 90 days. I’d do that, see if I liked it, and then go from there. Obviously, it stuck.

It’s wild how much has happened in ten years. Here’s what comes to mind…

I got married.

I bought a house.

I found and lost Coco.

I wrote five novels (one of which still isn’t published, but I did write it—twice, actually).

I started two major jobs, ...
