I had a pretty productive day today. I did not get everything done I wanted to, but I came pretty damn close. I can finish up what I missed tomorrow, and I’m in good shape for the rest of the week. Whew! Coco continues to recover. She’s feeling so much better. She’s...

I have so much to do. I have the time to do it, but it’s just a lot. Sigh. I want to be better about this. I’ve gotten used to be overwhelmed, and I don’t like it. I used to have more space in my brain for things I enjoyed. Lately, I just feel guilty whenever I’m not...

Dinner with friends tonight at our house. Twas lovely. SO lovely. These are friends we’ve recently reconnected with. Not after a long absence or anything, it was a couple years, something like that, but so nice to reconnect all the same. We’re doing a hangout every...

There were a few tasks stressing me out, and I got at least one of them done. I need my rest. I do. But, damn, it stresses me out sometimes getting back to work. That limbo state between rest and when I should get back to working is really really hard for me. I do my...

I have a bit of the finished-book-blues. It’s so hard to write a book y’all. It’s so much work. And it feels soooo gooood to be done with it. That high is pretty, preeettyyyy nice…and then, as with all highs, there’s a crash that follows. I’m in the crash right now....

Thankful for my family, both here at home and afar. Thankful that Coco is getting healthy. Thankful for writing, and my house, and food and wine. Thankful for my own health, and that my body does what I want it to do. We spent Thanksgiving dinner with the Kings. It...

So, Coco is fine. Near as the doc can tell, she’s just been playing us for attention. Which is to say: our increased worry and attention over her has caused her anxiety to spike, and we all got caught up in a feedback loop. I buy it. Completely. In fact, it’s...

Coco had kind of a rough day, at least in terms of her anxiety. She got pretty worked up, barking for hours and whatnot. Definitely something to bring up with the doctor. We’d love a safe way to knock her out, you know? I had a good work day, though. Night...

Coco is still improving. She can stand up on her own, now. Not that we want her to do that, or anything. We don’t. But it’s nice to see that she has the ability. She’s still a little spitfire. Between about 12/1pm to 5pm, she’s a handful. Nothing can really get her to...

Made progress with Coco today. MUCH better day. Upping her pain meds was the right call. She was 100% so antsy and irritable because she was in pain. Now that the dosage has been increased, she’s much more restful. More calm. Much more sleepy, which is what we want....
