So wiped today. The weekend, I think, work being so busy, and I pushed today to do all the things, work out, read, up on time for writing, both sessions…did it all. It’s a long day, kids. Twelve hours. Actually, twelve and a half, though I didn’t quite do that today. That’s a long day! Too long, really, but here we are. We trying. We pushing.
Had some good ideas today for the next book. Some stuff that will be fun to write. The more and more I write, the more and more I realize that’s all the outlining is, and that’s the only key to success for me: will I enjoy writing it? If the answer is yes, we’re set.
So, Liz set up this ofrenda just outside our bedroom for dia de muertos, and because Coco is someone in our family that we really miss, a bunch of her stuff is there, including her old amazon box with one of her blankets…and Coops keeps going into the box to hang out. He just did it. Apparently, pets are supposed to come and visit tonight. So, that was really sweet. He loved that box, too. He spends time in it all the time, actually. It’s out all the time, not just for the ofrenda.
He’s turned into such a sweet old man. Very chill. Very sweet. All about the food. I think it must be a gray-muzzle thing to be obsessed with the kitchen, but Coops is just like Coco was. Always wants to be in there.
Kitties are great. Got to have a nice pet sesh with Snacks and Silky. They’re both looking very healthy. Very happy.
It was nice today. Warm, but not hot. Cool in the morning and evening. I actually had to wrap myself up in a blanket for my first writing session. That was lovely.
I write with my door open. I don’t know if I’ve ever actually said that in an entry. I probably have, just forgotten, but yeah. My office is detached from our main house, in the back yard, and it’s really just a square with a high ceiling and a sliding glass door on one side. I keep that open as much as I can. All day, when the weather is nice. I love it. It’s exactly the work space I’ve always wanted.
Oh! And I’ve been using my standing desk properly, finally, as in actually standing whilst working. It’s good for my legs, my butt, and my back. Gonna do more of that now as I’m getting older. Sigh. Gotta maintain that shit!
Oh, I had therapy today. That’s another reason I’m tired. Always tires me out, that old talking about feelings.
Long day. A good one, though. Night night.
