Day 3,302: Progress
Coco has been home one day, and she’s already making progress. She walked! And peed! Granted, I had to hold her haunches while she did those two activities, but she definitely still has control of her limbs and sphincters back there. Thank. Dog. It’ll take time for...
Day 3,301: Coco Is Home
Coco is home. She’s back from the hospital. She went poop on her own outside. She hasn’t peed yet at home, but apparently she went pee at the hospital today (and I don’t think she’s had much water to drink — she didn’t want her meatorade tonight). Something to...
Day 3,300: Nice Even…
I had the working weekend I needed. Not the one I wanted per se, but the one I needed. And I did want it, I suppose, because I needed it. I’m not quite caught up. I’m about a week behind, still, actually…but I made up enough ground that if I continue to grind away...
Day 3,299: Get it
Tonight before bed, Liz and decided to figure out who—of the old, classic age of cinema—could get it. Our list so far is Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn and Christopher Plummer. The list will grow, for sure, but that’s where we’re starting from. Coco should be ready to...
Day 3,298: Change of Plans
So, because Coco just had back surgery…I’m not going to make it to the writers’ conference that’s about to kick off. I’m really bummed. And really mortified with how much responsibility I’m suddenly shifting onto other people’s shoulders, since I was leading one of...
Day 3,297: Muskrat
Coco’s surgery was successful today. She’s in ICU care, basically, for the next three days (ish). Thank dog. I was still a basket case today. Did some work, but not much. Tomorrow, however, I’m hoping will be different. We’ll see. Night night.
Day 3,296: Shadow Ban
Coco is in the hospital tonight. There is good news: the neurologist thinks that she’s going to be okay. It appears to be the same kind of spinal issue as before, a herniated disc. T-12, this time, specifically, was insanely painful when he palpitated it. Last time he...
Day 3,295: Oh Coco
Coco isn’t doing well. She woke up this morning in severe pain, howling pain. That’s so hard to hear from your dog. We think it’s her sciatica, which has been present for a couple weeks now, but man, it definitely ratcheted up a giant notch this morning. She was even...
Day 3,294: Caught Up
Well, damn. I caught up. The book gets uploaded tomorrow, clean as a whistle. I got to fix everything I wanted to. I’m happy with the fixes. The beta readers enjoyed it, some even raved. I hope the readers enjoy it, too. We’ll find out soon because it publishes NEXT...
Day 3,293: So Handsome
Well…the first reads of the book are rolling in from my co-writer’s insider team, and the returns are good. Whew! Thank god. People are enjoying the book. It’s a beast. In a good way, I think. I hope. I still have a few tweaks of my own to sneak in there, but it’s...
