Day 420: Ding Dong the Book is Done
The first draft, of the first book...is done. Two days early. My god, what have I done? I love, to, that I finish this milestone on 420...if only I were a pothead, I'd smoke a bowl to celebrate. No, as it is with my sore throat and my droopy eyelids at 2:17 in the am,...
Day 419: Getting Started
Liz just chuckled at the fact that her "Getting Started" instruction pamphlet from Canon about her new camera is 300 pages. You know, to "get started." Here, read this novel that we wrote. My mom got started today on finding a dog. We took her to an adoption event...
Day 418: Lost Post
Wellll...that's frustrating. It wasn't a long post that I lost, but lost it was indeed. First time that's happened to me, actually, where I completely lost a post I'd written. The Wordpress App just crashed on me, like it is wont to do sometimes when I'm adding a...
Day 417: Dog Convention
We have a surplus of dogs right now on our bed. I have Coco to my immediate left, by my legs, Ro-ro, Liz's parents' dog is down by my ankles, and Coops is down at the foot of the bed on a little ottoman. It's really Rosie that's the surprise. She came into the bed,...
Day 416: The Finish Line
It's 2am right now...and I'm tired. Tired, and satisfied. It was not the blowout day I'd been hoping for, with the 30 minutes of finished editing...but, it was enough. 130 minutes. Done. More than half a month, and a mere two days short of my original goal set all the...
Day 415: One More
Hey there iPad, old friend. I didn't get to use you today, did I? The writing did not happen, but that was planned as of this morning. My writing hour was cleaved into bits with some apartment building responsibilities. We had the exterminator here for a problem with...
Day 414: Quickie
Tonight's, alas, has to be a quickie. I hardly got any work done again today. Ugh. This home stretch, this sprint to the finish has definitely not been what I had hoped. But! I have two more days. Come what may. One more apartment thing to deal with tomorrow morning...
ALL YOUR DOGS BELONG TO ME
THIS IS PANDAPPLE I ACCEPT YOUR OFFERING OF 100 APPLES. I WILL ONLY RELEASE ONE DOG. THAT SASSY BLUE EYED DOG. HES AN ASSHOLE WHO TRIES TO SHAKE ME WITH HIS TINY MOUTH. F*UCK DAT SHIT. I REQUEST ONE GAZILLION APPLES FOR THE NICE DOG TO BE RETURNED. I LIKE HER. SHES...
Day 413: Lucky Number
Thirteen has always kind of been a lucky number for me. Weird, I know, given that it's considered so unlucky by so many cultures. But, see, I was born on the 13th. One of my best birthdays ever was on Friday the 13th. It was a surprise party when I was...probably 10....
Day 412: A misfire
These days that get away from me are definitely magnified by the no-room-for-error-ness of the rest of my available work time. I got about a half days' worth of work done, and it should have been more than that. Not, perhaps, a full work day given some of the...
