Day 3,538: So Weird
Making this a short one because it is bed time and I have to get my ass up in the morning to get this book done.
Took Coops to get his eye checked and it’s healed! He had a little ulcer there that they cleaned out, gave us some antibiotic drops, and now he’s all good. Whew!
Slept in. Took a nap. Still tired. But, so worth it to go see Tale of Us last night.
Night night.
Day 3,637: Tale of Us
Got to see Tale of Us tonight at the LA historic park and it was DOPE. Their visuals are top notch. Anyma is one half of the duo, and he’s been one of our favorite producers lately. He played all the hits. The crowd was chill. Happy to be there. A grand old time.
It’s LATE…so night night.

Day 3,636: Screem
We watched The Ring tonight. It’s funny, I didn’t realize that movie was PG-13. And it plays like it; no real gore or violence. But, the crazy thing is: it’s still scary as fuck. Or, at least it was back in the day. It’s lost its punch, no question, because it was so successful, it’s now become a cliche. But man…at the time? It was the scariest movie I’d ever actually gone to see in the theater. That movie was my gateway into watching legitimately scary movies. I didn’t know I actually liked the...

Day 3,635: Five O’Clock
Okay. One of those unexpected work days. Sigh. I haven’t hardly made any progress on my book…but that changes tomorrow. Has to. No way around it.
Night night.

Day 3,634: Caught Up
I finished Stray tonight. What a fun game! The design was breathtaking. Gameplay was pretty straightforward and easy, but in a fun way. Really, really enjoyed it, and it’s the first game that I’ve played and finished in a very, very long time. Years. I want to play more. I think maybe Horizon Zero dawn next? Maybe? We’ll see.
I caught up on work today. Whew! Means I should hopefully have the majority of the week to wrap things up on the book. Wish me luck on that. Some major hours to put in a...

Day 3,633: Catching Up
Whew. LONG day today. Longest work day in a little while. I got the big project done. Tomorrow, the small project, and then after that I’m hoping that I have the rest of the week to wrap things up on my book. Decent amount of work there.
Ugh.
Joy is curled up and pressed right against me as I write this, right where Coco used to snuggle sometimes. Joy is so different than Coco. SO different. They’re completely different dogs…but the love is the same. Joy’s utterly devoted to me, and me to ...

Day 3,632: What A Beast
Bang bang, Niner Gang. We demolished the Cowboys tonight on Sunday Night Football. It’s the best team we’ve faced thus far, and I definitely wouldn’t say I was worried about the game, but I was curious as to how we’d look against a plus defense and a good offense.
We looked good. Very, very good.
Next week, we face off against a legit GREAT defense. That will be very interesting. We scored 42 tonight on six touchdowns. That’s not going to happen against the Browns. But, the Browns offense ...

Day 3,631: A Six
The dogs really help me. They really make going to bed doable. It’s the routine of it. The coziness. They put me in the mood for sleep and rest and I really am very grateful for that. It’s such a wonderful thing I get to experience every night.
Working through the weekend, unfortunately. I have writing work to do, but I have to get these Netflix projects on my plate taken care of first. Maybe not completely finished, but on automatic pilot, essentially, otherwise I can’t focus on the writing ...
