Day 3,376: Honk
Coco is tiiiiired next to me tonight. She did treadmill and an EXCELLENT physical therapy session of exercises and stretches afterwards, then finally some laser therapy and her joints shot. Really good exercise.
I had really good physical exercise today as well. I weed whacked the front yard so when our plastic arrives in a couple days (on Tuesday), it’s all ready to be put down. That’s how we’re tackling the weed problem this time: depriving it of light, and boiling them with the trapped hea...

Day 3,375; Stung
Quick one bc it late…but we watched Dune tonight. The Lynch one. Did it for the podcast and our deep dive into his filmography. Loved it! The watching, I mean. The movie itself is…bad. But super fun to watch with your bestie.
Night night. More tomorrow.

Day 3,374: It Wasn’t Made For Us
Not a very productive day, sigh. But, I did the bare minimum! At least I did that.
Tomorrow, getting up all the way on time. Getting my ass in my chair and writing for the time I need to write. It’s getting close to go-time. I can finally feel it. Whew. Bang this thing down, get a working story, and then fucking gooooo.
I worked on our finances. I did my Netflix work, of which there was not much, and I got the Film School episode posted for next week. It was a cutting room floor, which mea...

Day 3,373: Points!
Dubs won. It was a squeaker. But they did. Need to rack off some wins, something we just haven’t been able to figure out. Not a great team this year…but they still COULD be. Long way to go, though.
Writing was great this morning. Put in my full time for—I think—the first time this year. It was great. Netflix work was great, too. On top of my shiiiiit.
I was tired today, for sure. Not only because I got up on time(ish), but because I didn’t have great sleep last night. Apparently there was ...

Day 3,372: Plinth
In bed on time tonight. Woohoo!
Man…I was tired today. I took a two-hour nap at the end of the work day. Had to put in a little extra time in the evening to make up for it. Worth it, though. Exhausted. Falling asleep at my desk. Don’t really know why, either. I had a good night’s sleep. Woke up pretty much on time. Little late, actually. Didn’t do any extra physical exertion. I was just tired, I guess.
Pulling clips for work definitely tires me out. So does client work, for that matter, an...

Day 3,371: Pondering
Every so often, I take a look at that number up there and I wonder if I should change things up. It’s going to be ten years this year that I’ve taken my iPad out at the end of the night, leaned back on my pillow in bed, and typed out one of these entries. Is this still doing what I want it to do? Should I mix it up somehow? Give it up? Do something different? Or…is this a forever thing? Do we just keep cracking on with it?
Honestly…I think it does still do for me what I want it to. It’s a rit...

Day 3,370: So Red
It’s late. Writing this about an hour later than I usually do because I had a little work to finish up. Twas the podcast for tomorrow morning, kicking off our David Lynch deep dive! It’s going to be SO FUN. We’re only two movies in right now (in terms of recording), and it’s already a blast.
Niners won! We beat the Cowboys for the second postseason in a row. Onto the NFC Championship game. Beating the Eagles will be no fucking joke, man. And then again in the Super Bowl. Both the Chiefs and t...

Day 3,369: Another!
Oh boy, another late one!
We had a hang with our good friends Stephen and Thida. Went over to their place for some handmade pizza oven pizza. SO. GOOD. Stephen is low key a fantastic fucking chef, and his pizza is high key delicious. It’s the second time, I think, that we’ve done pizza at their house. Never fails to impress.
Also there were Julia, her husband Chris, and Jason; all also fellow friends that I haven’t seen in a long time. They’re so fun and easy to have a good time with. We c...

Day 3,368: Oh Boy
It’s LATE…so a short one tonight.
Great day. Writing was solid. Work was great. Warriors actually beat the Cavaliers—a legit good team this year—with just the baby dubs. And I recorded a set for writing. Need to record one more, but this one is in the bag.
Night night!

Day 3,367: It Still Counts
Got my teeth cleaned! They’re looking good. Couple gum pockets on some rear molars that I need to floss a bit better just to make sure they don’t progress. Gotta take care of the toofers!
Took a little chunk out of my day to do it, so I had to work kinda late. Again. Sigh. BUT…I got my shit done. On track to finish everything I needed to. And tentatively feeling like maaayyybbeee…I’m starting to find some rhythm and momentum with the writing. At least the butt in seat variety of momentum. And...
