Joy is curled up so tight against me right now, all the way up on my hip, which makes it very difficult, very constrained to type this entry. She is such a little snug. She has been from the very beginning, especially after hanging out with Tommen, whom we watch quite...

Fighting a bit of the overwhelm today. Work is very hectic at the moment. Big project coming and the schedule for that is shifting. Sigh. But, it’ll be fine in the end. I hit a wall on the writing today, but that’s okay. Still got a lot done. Almost ten pages. I’ll...

I went back and looked at one of my old blog posts today, it was from October 2015, and I’d just ticked over my first year of doing these entries. There was a comment there from someone I knew in high school, Hannah. She commented to say she’d been reading along,...

Twas a busy day at work today! But…we got it done. Almost. I’m done, at least, though others are burning towards the end at the moment. I think all our hard work last week figuring out the best workflow has paid off. Hope so. We’ll see. I’m back at it tomorrow,...

Wooooooowwwww…a day off. Like, a legit day off. Good lord I was so tired today you guys. More tired than I’ve been in a long time. It was absolutely the going out on Friday night. But also the grief. Cat’s memorial yesterday was very beautiful. It was out on the...

Dolphins showed up for Cat’s memorial today. It went well. Truly. It was gorgeous and heartfelt and a myriad other things that I don’t seem to have words for at the moment. It’s exhaustion, probably, and grief—it still just doesn’t feel right that she’s gone. I...

It’s 3am. Joy just licked my face so hard because she was all wound up that we’d been out so late. But we had a great time. Night night.

Ashi is six! We went over to their house tonight and had In-N-Out together then watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. She’d been wanting to see it for months. Her friends at school had seen it. But mom and dad said she had to wait until she turned six…which she did today. Big...

I’m wiped, so I’m making it short tonight BUT… Good day. Getting the six was a struggle, but I did it. Got my Netflix work done. Got my Shakespeare reading almost done—hopefully I can make that up tomorrow. Got my hang time with Bear done. Therapy done. Now…sleep....

Did both my writing sessions today. Like, legit did them both. Six pages in the morning, then outlining at night. The latter, in particular, is big. That’s the key to all of this working, really—ABO; always be outlining. If I can do that, I can write new pages every...
