Okay. So…today was solid. Not GREAT, but solid.
Tomorrow needs to be great. In fact, I need a few great days this week. Sigh. Need to knuckle down and just get some shit done. Le sigh.
For the majority of this year, I have been too busy. A lot of it is just life. Life is busy right now. But, some of it isn’t. Some of it I can pare back on, and I’m going to. Commitments that I can set aside. I’m really digging the focus and productivity I’m finding on the writing side of things, and I’m going to lean into that in 2023. I know it’s early to be making new years’ resolutions, but I’ve already taken aim on that. The writing is the business. The client work, too, has proven to be a steady stream of income, and work that I like doing, but even that will need to be pared down in the months and year to come. The writing is my focus now. Finally. Thank god. It took me a LONG time to get here, but here I am.
And obviously, there’s the Netflix work. That’s a constant. That’s not going anywhere. Netflix is paying the bills right now, and for the foreseeable future. I have a lot of books to write before that changes. I do want it to change, someday. But, I’m not there yet.
Liz had a couple great auditions today. So freaking proud of her. Coco continues to struggle with taking a full walk. Pretty sure it’s arthritis, because she’s nice and energetic at the beginning, then energetic again when she gets a break and/or comes home for meatorade. So, I don’t think it’s something whole-body related. She’s otherwise totally normal. She just slows down on the walks. Makes me think it’s pain.
Uuuuggghhhh.
She’s just getting older, you guys. I don’t love it. I want her to be happy and healthy. But, I know that’s not going to last forever. To be clear…she’s fine. I know she’s fine. This isn’t something serious. It just reminds me that out time together is finite. So, I must cherish it right now, with her snuggled up next to me, waiting expectantly for her nighttime treats, and then the feeling of her body against my arms as we fall asleep together, keeping each other warm.
Love you, Coco. Night night.
