First thought of the new year: it’s really fun to learn Brit turns of phrase, particularly those used commonly at the turn of the century/millennia, by watching Grand Designs. Yes, we are still obsessed. It’s our show around this time of year. I started day 1 of the...

We Grand Designed it into the new year. Pretty sure we were watching the show this time last year. We were rolling up our sleeves and prepping the house for the move, to be honest. Painting. Cleaning. Boxing. Updating fixtures. It was…so much work. This year we got to...

I’m getting organized, y’all. Whew. FINALLY. My desk is clean. It’s been…a long, loooonnngggggg time since that was last true. It’s been a YEAR, man. Busy, busy, busy. I’m still recovering from the move. But, I am recovering. Finally. Shit is getting ticked off the...

Coco be FIGHTING taking her meds lately. Ugh. She’s so smart. She figures out that we’re putting pills inside her meatballs and she doesn’t want to eat them. Or, rather, she eats the meatball parts, and spits out the pills. Then we have to shove them down her throat....

A momentous day. For a couple reasons. Gonna keep it to that, I think. More later. Right now…snuggling in bed with my kindle, gonna read for a bit, and then wake up tomorrow and smash through our finances. Night!

Solid low key day today. We did our Costco run. Picked up some letters delivered to our old address. Walked the pups around the old neighborhood. Watched the rest of the Warriors game that I missed on Christmas, and then watched them beat the Hornets tonight. Did...

We watched Glass Onion tonight as a fam. I’d actually seen it for work, but not really; pulling clips, watching most of it at double speed for efficiency’s sake. I haven’t added any of the material I watch for work onto my movie list for the year, so it was cool to...

It’s laaaate so I’m making this entry a quick one tonight, but Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and Happy Holidays to all the rest. I got up early and took care of the animals—NUGGET LET ME PET HER THIS MORNING—then we went and hung out with the Kings for...

I remember Christmas Eve…must have been 2014, I think? I finished the first draft of my first novel. Might have been the day before, but either way, we were up in the Bay Area (San Francisco) visiting family. We’d just gotten married a couple months earlier. I was...

It’s almost Christmas. I got some shopping done this afternoon. A few hours I have to make up for work because of it, but it was worth it to not be out there trying to do it tomorrow. Holidays crept up on me like for real tho. It’s literally Christmas in two days....
