Woke my ass up and got out of bed on time today! I wrote for two hours! Didn’t make a TON of progress, but that’s pretty normal for having lost my groove or struggling to find my rhythm. Give me a day or two. I’ll get it back. And what I did write was fire. For real. Locking in on a storyline, and I’m feeeeeling it. Hopefully my cowriter approves…

I put half of a murphy bed together today! Or “wall” bed. The kind the swing up against the wall to give more space.

So, our friend Joe has been staying with us while he goes to graduate school at USC. He’s been on an air mattress this whole time so far (his first semester) because we didn’t HAVE a second bed. Well…now we do. Almost. Got the frame together and anchored into some studs on the wall. Had to use a stud finder and everything. That bed is HEAVY. And we haven’t even put together the part that holds the mattress. Couldn’t really tell you why, but I’m going to be so, soooo satisfied when that mattress is on there and we get sheets and a duvet. I’m probably going to take a nap on it or something, just to revel in the completion.

Stephen helped out so much today on that bed. He came over. We had mediterranean food together. Liz is painting a rainbow up the wall, across the ceiling, and down the other wall in her office. She got two coats down on the first three colors for that. It’s going to look SO AWESOME. And we returned some stuff over at the UPS store to send off.

It was a busy, very good day. Time to go to bed so I can get up and kinda do it all over again. Tomorrow is work…
