Day 3,232: First Husband
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEAR! Today is Liz and my eight anniversary. We’ve been together for eightEEN years as of three days ago. That’s…wild. In a few years, we will have been together as long as we were alive before we met each other, which is also WILD. We were 21 when...
Day 3,231: Humbled
Got a bit humbled today by burnout. It really is so so crucial for me to get my writing done early, like first thing. This working in the yard because of the weather has really messed with that. And because I was so exhausted today, it really knocked me flat. Sigh....
Day 3,230: Perspective
I wrote 15 pages today kinda like it was nothing. That was pretty cool. Granted, the story is really moving at this point. Lots of action. Life and death and whatnot. But, still. Not long ago, fifteen pages in a day was a stretch. It was difficult. But, because I’ve...
Day 3,229: That’s Technically True
It was…so goddamn hot today. And I worked outside. Like a BOSS. For a couple hours. Woke up early and shoveled gravel to clear the space where we’re putting our shed, and then I went to home depot, rented a truck, bought the lumber we needed to make a frame for the...
Day 3,228: YOU ARE UP
K. It’s absolutely miserable outside. Hundred degrees today…and it just RAINED. It’s muggy as fuck. Hate it. Not a fan. Wrists and whatnot were still a little sore today, so I didn’t push it. I wrote a little bit, I did my Netflix work, and then I went over to J’s and...
Day 3,227: The Furnace
Well, I’ve officially made my forearms sore from writing so much. And weeding. Sigh. I cut my writing short just to make sure I didn’t make it worse. It’s fine right now, it’s tolerable, but I have no desire to make it actually bad. Just realizing it’s not quite...
Day 3,226: Striking Distance
Everything hurts…but it was a good day. I recovered very nicely with the writing today. I wrote like a madman. A crazy amount of pages (for me). My wrists literally hurt from all the typing, which I don’t like, but I’m pretty sure it’s exacerbated by the weed pulling...
Day 3,225: PA
Sigh. Not the writing day I need today. But…we’re letting it go. I had too much other stuff to do. And I’m glad I did it. We’re doing an outdoor movie night for my birthday, and last time we used literally my crappy computer speakers, and it was fine. It worked. Not...
Day 3,224: Weedz
The weeds in the front of the house are done. Well…almost. I ran out of daylight and my headlamp just wasn’t cutting it. But, what’s left is almost literally just cleanup. I’ve already pulled everything that needs to be pulled, the rest is scraping it all up with a...
Day 3,223: Knock Harder
Exhausting day, but damn kids . . . I did some shit. It was all about weeding the front yard today. Didn’t finish it. Kinda knew that I wouldn’t, but the kind of progress was made that will keep me going towards the finish line. “Finish line” being that we’re having...
