Another long day! Not as long as the last one, and much more planned/expected than yesterday which makes a huge difference in terms of my mental load. Writing was, again, great. Didn’t get a session in the evening, but that was because I decided to take a well-needed...

Whew. Long work day today. Twelve hours, I think. Just shy. Had a project come in that just needed a lot of work and attention right away. Still not quite done, but I think I’m in good shape for tomorrow. As good shape as I could be. And I got my other project due...

One of my favorite things is to watch sports in the morning. Baseball in the morning, NFL, there’s something about waking up and having a game to watch that really energizes me. I love it. Lately, it’s been watching Wrexham in the morning that I love, and it’s early,...

The film Sugarcain is a must-see. It’s about a former school for indigenous children up in Canada, and the horrifying truths that are still coming to light as they investigate its past. And I mean horrifying stuff. It is beautifully done. Absolutely stunning. I...

What is my favorite drink? You know…I don’t know that I’ve ever had one. I have several that I like and will order with regularity, but I don’t know if I actually have a favorite. I’ve always liked blonde ales, heffs, cocktails with citrus fruit in them—love me...

I have a little worry that Coopey can’t see out of his blue eye, the one that’s healing. He just saw the doctor for it today, and they were satisfied that he was on the right path—in fact, he gets to be out of his cone now except for right after he eats, which is when...

Late. Not feeling so hot all the sudden, though it feels like a stomach thing, came on right after eating my dinner. Hoping it’s not what Liz had that took her out of commission for a few days…also hoping its nothing to do with the thing on my back, though that has...

Struggle writing today, but I put in the hours. Nearly. Just shy. But, still proud of myself. It’s hard breaking a cycle, and that’s what I’m trying to do right now: get this outline done the earliest I ever have, and then change up my whole routine entirely. Not...

Doing a quick entry tonight. My phone wasn’t charging through the night, so it wasn’t on by the time morning rolled around, and apparently that means my alarm wasn’t going to go off, even though I had my apple watch on. Weird. Now that I’m sitting here thinking about...

Am I patriotic? What does ‘patriotic’ mean to me? I am. I deeply believe in this country and the values that it stands for. The ideals. And when we fall short of those values and ideals, as we so often do, it’s why I stand up and criticize, or vote, or debate, etc. I...
