The orange trees are blooming in LA. The air is sweet, and today was the first truly warm day we’ve had so far this year.

There was a light breeze during nighttime walks with the pups, and I was feeling a bit burned out from everything…podcasts, music, audiobooks, writing, TV, sports…everything. So, I walked with nothing but the sweet breeze.

It was magical.

I also took a nap as soon as I got home. I was tired today. So was Liz. Both of us drained from stressing over Coco, I think, and me also from going to therapy for the first time yesterday.

I didn’t mention that: I’m starting therapy. I couldn’t be more excited and more proud to be going. I want to improve myself. I want to be happier and more successful. I am the number one obstacle to self-actualization, and godamnit, I’m ready to work on that shit 🙂

But, it is exhausting.

Cooper is cleaning his paws right now on top of my feet. I can feel his tongue press press press and then the nibble nibble nibble of his teeth. He’s such an attentive dog. Whenever we stop while we’re walking, he looks up and stares at me, waiting for instructions, trying to figure out what I’m thinking and what I want him to do next.

Coco is solely focused on spending as much time on grass as possible 😂

I wrote today. I edited down the Film School episode for this week, put the file together, uploaded it and updated the website. It’s a corker. Goodfellas. It’s the first movie we’ve watched that actually blew me away with how good it was. And I’ve seen it before.

I had an insanely productive week, the stress of Coco’s tummy troublems included. It’s the first week in I can’t even remember where I set that many tasks for myself to complete and I actually completed them.

Using that GTD task manager really made the difference. Speaking of, it’s time for bed and I still need to review my projects, so I’m going to bow out here and say good night. I have a long week ahead of me with Netflix work.

Oh! Other thing that explains my exhausting at the end of the day today: Reed and I got to play tennis this morning! That explain a lot 😂

Good night
