Costco day is always a bit stressful. Not…no, not ‘stressful.’ It’s…disruptive. Always throws me for a loop in that regard. My day gets messed up. I mean, in a good way, because now my fridge, freezer, and pantry are all stocked up. But, it does kinda hijack the day....

A pretty chill Sunday. I got up fairly early, just by default, and used those morning hours to get the podcast edited and posted. Ghostbusters! It’ll be up tomorrow. A delight. So, that was nice. That was my bit of work to get done today, and I did it first thing. I...

Joy is getting out her energy right now by dragging around Cooper’s bed, humping it, and barking super loud. She’s crazy. CRAZY! She keeps wanting me to join her, but nope. It’s sleepy time over here, babes. We had a social day! Got to hang out with Liz and Ali and...

The manuscript is off to the beta readers. My co-writer doesn’t call them that, exactly, but they’re similar; a team of readers who go through each of the books he’s published to make sure everything makes sense, catch any straggling typos, give the thumbs up on...

Making it a quick one tonight because it’s late, but I podcasted with Josh! We hadn’t hung out in a few weeks because of travel and busy-ness. We watched Ghostbusters, and it holds up! Rick Moranis, in particular, is an absolute delight. Writing: good. Still work to...

It was a hot one today. This heatwave isn’t quite as bad as the last one, though. We’re triple digits, but just barely, as opposed to the two weeks in earlier that were pushing 112 on some days. That makes quite the difference for our AC, which literally couldn’t keep...

Another good day! I got stuff done. Not a ton—I want to actually push a little harder tomorrow—but I got what I needed to get done, done. The book is back from the editor. I’ll need to get through that tomorrow. I finished my Author Note. I watched Wrexham get beat...

Contented sigh. Today was a good day. Whew! Not to say the days haven’t been good lately. The opposite: they’ve been great. I guess I mean today was a good work day. I finally, FINALLY got some stuff done I’d tried to do last week and just failed miserably at. Did it...

We picked up Grand Designs again. The last time we watched it, at least through our Channel 4 account, it was the day Coco died. We put it on after yoga while Coco was at the hospital to pass the time. We were waiting to get a phone call from the internist, to see how...

iPad is at 5% battery! Gotta make it a quick one tonight, I guess, lol. I write these journal entries on the same thing I write all my books on: my iPad pro from, like…2018, I think? Something like that. Maybe 2019 or 2020, I can’t remember. But I’ve written four...
