Day 3,438: Wow

Day 3,438: Wow

Okay, so I worked for sixteen hours today. And by “today,” I actually mean “yesterday” because I, in truth, never wrote this entry. It was 12:30, I’d been working straight since 9am, and I was an absolute mush. Zonked. Wiped. Didn’t even realize I forgot. Just passed...

Day 3,437: Copy

Day 3,437: Copy

A’s won on opening night. I think it’s the first baseball game I’ve watched (almost) in full in…two whole years? Maybe three? The A’s man, they just. They really ripped it out of me over the last 20 years of just never keeping players. I know almost nobody on our...

Day 3,436: Shelves

Day 3,436: Shelves

Joy killing it today. Maniac most of the day. Spurts of being just the fucking cutest thing ever. She and Joe are in love; she was so excited he came home, she had the zoomies. They do this thing where he shuffles his feet and then runs around in his socks and she...

Day 3,435: There She Is

Day 3,435: There She Is

The good thing about writing consistently, kids, is that when you’re going through the doldrums, a good writing day is only ever a day away. I had one today. A good writing day. Whew. Almost done with Act 1. Gonna finish it tomorrow, in fact. Send it off to my...

Day 3,434: Sleeeeeep

Day 3,434: Sleeeeeep

I had a SOLID writing morning. Didn’t get that elusive second session and I’m frustrated about it. Sigh. Work went long, that was part of it. Nothing I can do about that. But, it was also just being stressed about the pups. They were fine, they just needed attention....

Day 3,433: Cooler

Day 3,433: Cooler

Cold and windy today. It was pleasant with the sun shining. Took an EPIC nap with Bear in the afternoon, and that was lovely. The best nap I’ve had in quite a while. I was OUT. It was the nap I needed, to be honest. But, otherwise…I’m fucking done with the cold...

Day 3,432: Better

Day 3,432: Better

What do I need to do to do better. Lots of “dos” in that sentence, but you catch my drift. I want to do better. I’m ready. I’m ready to get back to setting goals and getting shit done. I’ve really been struggling with that so far this year, and there are many reasons...

Day 3,431: Hit Piece

Day 3,431: Hit Piece

We got our bathroom tile cleaned and re-sealed today. It’s marble (I know, FANCY), which looks great and feels great because it’s real stone, but real stone is also porous. It’ll soak stuff up if you let it, which means it has to be regularly cleaned and sealed. Which...

Day 3,430: Wiped

Day 3,430: Wiped

Wiped, man…but I did okay today. Not great progress on the writing. Not like yesterday, but I put my ass in my chair, man. I did my best. Truly. One more work day, and then some rest. It’s bed time, so this will be a short one. Let pinot noir breathe for, like, an...

Day 3,429: Hey Now…

Day 3,429: Hey Now…

I made legit progress today. EVEN THOUGH I WAS EXHAUSTED. I was so tired, in fact, that I snuck a quick nap in before lunch. That tired. It’s the time change. And the stress of various things that have upset my schedule. BUT…I was able to push that shit aside today...
