Today was a bit of a misfire. It really illustrated to me how much work I still have to do on how to adjust to days where my routine is messed up.

Part of the whole snafu was that I woke up tired. That’s never a good thing. Then it was one thing after another and pretty soon, most of the day had gone by and I hadn’t nearly done enough work. Sigh. But, I rallied a bit at the end, and I’m still within striking distance tomorrow. I really need to CRUSH tomorrow, but I’m within striking distance nonetheless.

Coco is currently chomping on a Wizzy Stick next to my legs right now. Wizzy Sticks are these newfangled teeth-cleaning treats that we’ve been trying out now for the past couple nights. The dogs looooooove them…and they really seem to go the trick in terms of actually getting both Cooper and Coco to chew on them, as opposed to just scarf them down and swallow them whole as quickly as possible.

Coco’s going on 15 minutes of chewing on hers. Coco has little nubs for teeth, poor girl. They’re all broken from when she was on the streets, or at least that what the vet thinks. It’s a common thing to see in dogs who had to defend themselves from the wild and other dogs. So, because her teeth are broken, it takes her a long time to chew on stuff. Longer than Coops, anyway. Final count was 15 minutes. That’s awesome. It should help keep those little nubs clean!

Liz got some good work news today that I’m not allowed to talk about because it’s not all official and all that…but exciting nonetheless. So, go panda!

I got to watch a little bit of the Warriors putting a beat down on the OKC Thunder. That was cool because the Thunder had been talking some trash. The Warriors are looking every bit of the insanely good team that we all anticipated they would be.

Now Coco is snugged up against my leg. Live doge updates. She was so friggin cute today! I don’t know what got into her, but she was sleeping on the bed and I came into the bedroom to do some writing, and she, all on her lonesome, walked right up to my chest, looked at me for a minute until I petted her, and then proceeded to lie down right up against me and fall asleep. uuuugggghhhhhhh.

Anywho…tomorrow is going to be another day of messed up routine…but my aim is to NOT let it affect me. At least not as much as it did today. And you know what? It won’t. Imma plan that shit out, and Imma rock dat shit. Boom. Let’s do this!

Early to bed! Both the Ho and I have busy days tomorrow.
