The days slip by. Not pushing the petal to the metal right now, y’all, and you know what? I have to be okay with that. One step at a time. Not all at once. Slow and steady wins the race. Early bird gets the worm. The second Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie is...

Man. Not a lot of energy today. Which, I think was to be expected given that I podcasted last night. But…I was fine. I got done what I *needed* to get done. I’ll have to work over the weekend, but not crazy-like. Warriors just closed out the Memphis Grizzlies in...

Our door is open right now to our bedroom. A big sliding glass door that we put on the wall into the courtyard. We have string lights up across the courtyard. The crickets are going ham. We have a mockingbird singing off in the distance too. It’s glorious. It’s also...

The pups get QUITE the smorgasbord of treats before bed. Coops gets a whimzee for his teeth, and Coco gets a few bits of kibble. And then both of them get half a dosequin, which is a tasty treat that has joint health stuff in it. I swear, Coco’s entire existence...

Omg. So busy, y’all. Work is legit nuts right now. Worked 12 hours today. Plus writing. Plus client work. And doing an audition with Liz. I mean…amazingly productive day. I got my shit done, and that always feels very, very good. I’m also wiped. Feeling a bit of...

Warriors are up 3-1 on the Grizz. They need to win one game to close out the series. I’m not taking it for granted, but it certainly feels better to be up like this, opposed to tied 2-2. I had…a long, looonnggg day today. But, holy shit if I didn’t do everything I was...

Maaaann…I was really, reallly hoping to have my office finished today before work started up again tomorrow. Alas, it’s not going to happen. Still too much to do, and I need to go and get the GOOD wall anchors. The ones we have left are just not sufficient. Not good...

The ice machine is WORKING. In the “new” kitchen—new to us, but definitely not objectively new—there was no hose or other water access for the fridge to use for ice. It’s not that far from the sink, so running a hose wouldn’t be THAT big of a deal, but still… We’d...

Truckin away, y’all. Had a SOLID writing session this morning. Whew! It was sketch work, just to get me back into the flow of the story. And, by that I mean: nothing in depth. Character arcs/relationships. Set pieces. Some notes/ideas on setting. That kind of thing....

Unfulfilled dreams. They’re the hardest thing to accept; to be complete in our un-completeness. To not compare. To live in the moment. Liz is reading a book right now that just had a much more well-spoken passage about that idea, but that’s what sticks with me right...
