Sick, day three. A bit better than the first two, I’ll say. Not a ton, but a little. Took a covid test and that was negative, so that’s good. Still have never tested positive for that one (though I suspect I actually had it in that super early very first wave of 2020, around this time five years ago, before there was even a test I could take for it; lost my sense of smell/taste and everything).

I worked today, though. Had to. Shit needed to get done. Sigh. Wiped.

Warriors beat the Lakers. Not exactly handily, but we controlled the game mostly from start to finish. Each time the Lakers made a run, and they made several, especially towards the end, we turned them back and reasserted a lead. Draymond was amazing. Steph was, too. And then Podz and Kuminga were huge. Both of them got to close, in fact. Great great game. Two more huge ones: Denver tomorrow, which feels like a scheduled loss, and Houston on Sunday, I think. Maybe monday. Hopefully monday.

Coops is continuing to do well. Almost a totally normal day today. Little wobbly first thing in the morning, like the previous couple days, but otherwise looked really good. A marked improvement doing his backyard rounds. Yesterday, he was so wobbly. Today, a little slight stumble here or there, but otherwise very assertive and confident. A relief to see. He’s so sweet, too. Spent almost half the day with me out in my office, just snoozing.

Helped Bear with an audition. She killed it (genuinely). Tried to give as much energy in the performance as I could, give her what she needed to play off of. Not easy feeling like crap, but I think we managed. She’s a pro. Doesn’t really matter what I do at all, actually. She can work with whatevs.

And Joy…she’s sleeping with me in the guest room, curled up right in between my legs, right behind this iPad. Which is dying. Need to charge it in the AM, first thing.

Night night.
