It’s legit sleep-time, so this will be short. Writing was better today. Progress! Work was busy. Wolf wrote a really nice poem for school. Tilde has caught the eye of recruiter services for her diving. The pups snoozed in my office with Snacks—Coops had no idea he was...

I told Cat tonight that we’d always be there for the kids, Liz and I. That’s what I wanted her to know. And we will. We’ve always been a big part of their lives, from baby days on up. I remember Wolfie waking up in his crib—we were watching the kids for the weekend so...

Y’all…Slow Horses is a very good show. These MFers actually know how to write a scene! They know how to build a twist, and a twist that means our characters messed up and have to DO MORE to redeem themselves and save the day. That’s good shit. That’s narrative...

Joy is over digging in her bed right now. We’ve had it in the bedroom the past few nights because Coops has really enjoyed using it…but tonight, I guess Joy is taking it. Lol. Spent the day with the Kings, mostly. We were able to put (almost) the final period onto the...

She’s home now and okay, but my mom was in a hit and run accident today. Some plowed into the side of her new truck and took off, I’m assuming because they were drunk. Airbags deployed. Diego was in the car with her. He’s also okay, thank goodness. There were...

It doesn’t feel like 2026. It feels like that every year, I know, but this year especially for me. The holidays have been…discombobulated. For sure. And I treated last night and today as much like normal days as I could. I’m trying to maintain as much of my normal...

It’s new year’s eve. Happy New Year’s Eve! We made it. Barely. 2025…ups and downs. I know a lot of people who are very much “fuck this year.” It wasn’t quite that bad for me. I had some wins this year. For sure. The losses were intense, too. No question of that. It...

Four fours! A milestone…and the last of that particular kind, I think. Pretty sure I won’t live long enough for five fives? Let’s see how many years that would be… 140 years from now. lol. Good lord, I wouldn’t actually even hope for living to 180 years old. So…yes....

We bought a Christmas train. It was 50% off at the Descanso Gardens gift shop. Didn’t hesitate. We went with Joe and Madhuri, and the Kings. Even Cat came along, which was awesome. She was delighted. Everyone was very happy. Very very happy. It was a good time. Pups...

Joy and Coops just got their advent calendar treats. Lucky pups. Also unlucky, given that we were supposed to give them the treats every day leading up to Christmas and we definitely didn’t, which is why they still have them, lol. But we’re making up for it now. Those...
