Omg, you guys…it’s so freaking cold in LA right now. It might actually freeze. I realize to most of you other folksy folks out there that FREEZING is a usually occurrence in vast swaths of the rest of the world out there, but for LA, it is super, super uncommon for the air to be cold enough to turn water from liquid to solid. And apparently, that shit is happening tonight.

The dogs are pressed up against me so close right now, and curled tight with their chests snuggled up to their bellies, thick head and back fur to the outside. They look like Wooly Bears, the fuzzy brown and black caterpillars of my youth that would curl up into a tight circle if you touched them. They were soft, too, those Wooly Bears, and fuzzy.

I had a so-so day writing today. Fell short of my writing goals, which was frustrating and felt like a set back, but I know *exactly* what caused it, and it was actually some very, very good news. I got all excited and distracted after that, and never recovered. Which is okay. I will accomplish everything I need to tomorrow. I’ve already mapped it out in my head, and hopefully that helps me crush it.

Man…that’s really all I have for you today. I can’t say anything about what the excellent news was, but I know I’ll be able to soon. I watched a little ice skating and downhill skiing, I played a little bit of Skyrim…but mostly my day was productive to start, and then a black hole at the end 😛 I don’t like that, losing time like that, but it happens. I must be determined not to do so tomorrow. I podcast with Josh tomorrow, and I’d really, REALLY like to get through everything I need to get done before he comes, which includes some makeup work left over from today. Not a ton of it, but still…enough.

Wish me luck.

Good night.
