Good lord. Joy was just giving me nighttime kisses (licking the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of my face)…when I felt something in her ear hair. Felt like a matte, so I picked at it a little bit, then realized it was something in there, like a bramble or something. It...

Oh jeez. Already sleep time. We can make it quick tonight, though. Batting cages with Wolfie, plus BotW and Mario Odyssey. Weird Al in the car. Nap with the dogs. Laundry. Finished watching the BBC Richard II. Now…sleeeeep.

Richard II I have ended up liking a bit more than I expected I would. It suffers from not-enough-happens, I think…but there are moments of brilliance in it, and the character of Richard is very interesting. He’s contradictory, and intentionally so, because it happens...

I stumbled this morning and didn’t quite get up on time…but I still got in my writing! Huzzah! A win and a loss, to be fair, but the bigger win in that is maybe even this time last year, I wouldn’t have done any writing after getting up late. I would have blown the...

Joy is alllll the way up on my lap, so we’re thumbing it tonight on the old iPhone. I do mean old, by the way. It’s far past time for a new phone. This is a…12? Yeah, pretty sure it’s a 12 Pro. Which means I’ll have had it for five years once the next phone drops this...

Today was better! I got some work done. Not gangbusters…but better. I found some grit today. Some drive. So, that’s a relief. I think I can end this week on a high note. See how much progress I can make before then. The pups are snoozin already. We all tired up in...

Well, it wasn’t a gangbuster of a day…but it was a day. Work is busy. So, jumping right back into all that. Coops had diarrhea in the middle of the night a few times, so that meant sleep wasn’t great. It wasn’t terrible, but it did mean I got up late. But, I got all...

Making it a quick one tonight. Napped. Caught up with Bro. Helped Bear with an audition that she crushed, and then watched the Warriors beat the Heat…and maybe Jimmy seriously hurt his knee. I hope not. We’ll see. Night night.

We will get back to the normal routine of fine distinctions and whatnot. I haven’t abandoned that project in the slightest. Just delayed on account of…well, a lot going on. We saw the King kids today. They all seemed very, very happy to see us, which warmed my heart...

Home. A shorter trip than it was supposed to be. What a crazy week it’s been. Intense. I feel pretty grounded, though, I have to say. I was expecting to be more burned out. Overwhelmed. Maybe that’s still coming. But right now, I feel grateful to have been there for...
