Day 4,541: New Bed Who Dis?

Day 4,541: New Bed Who Dis?

It’s weird to get older. A looooootttt of time has passed now, in my life, at least compared to when I was younger. The years pile up without you really noticing. You’re just living your life and then all the sudden it’s been twenty years since you were in your...

Day 4,540: Bork!

Day 4,540: Bork!

It’s late so it’ll be a quick on tonight: Project Hail Mary is very good. Go see it. Related: we have a new movie theater! The one down the street that was just renovated is so nice. I’m intensely excited about this. Easter eggs are all prepped for tomorrow. Coops is...

Day 4,539: Miles

Day 4,539: Miles

I’m thinking of Miles from Sideways, tonight, which of course also makes me think of Miles from Star Trek, the best Miles in all of existence…though Sideways Miles is also great. Thinking of how he’s written this book, but it’s overly long, nobody wants to read it, he...

Day 4,538: Coopey Doop

Day 4,538: Coopey Doop

Fine distinctions are back! We’ve got a good one. Tonight, it’s Porch vs Deck vs Veranda vs Patio. Let’s get into it. A porch is a covered shelter that projects from a building’s front or rear entrance. Covered. I like that distinction. I think maybe if it’s...

Day 4,537: To The Moon!

Day 4,537: To The Moon!

The Artemis II launched into space today. Liz and I watched it live and it was awesome and…surprisingly intense? Like, disaster kept flashing through our heads—were we about to watch four people die? The answer, thank goodness, was no. It seems as though the launch...

Day 4,536: Drip

Day 4,536: Drip

The world is dripping. We have the sliding door to our bedroom open still and the rain has tailed off to just drips, like surround sound, coming from everywhere. It’s one of my favorite sounds, the drip drip drip after a rain. It makes me think of the forest. If the...

Day 4,535: Hands

Day 4,535: Hands

Busy busy day today but I got a lot done! Excavation of the parking space is underway. Pages were written. I got through an hour of proofreading. Got all my Netflix work done. Coops is getting better. Much more pep in his step this evening, and we’ve figured out the...

Day 4,534: Scoop Thing

Day 4,534: Scoop Thing

Cooper had a good day. Last night was slightly terrifying. We were told we could give him gabba (his pain med) every six hours—as needed—and since he’d just had surgery, we figured go for the most aggressive dosaging. Well…he woke up in the middle of the night so...

Day 4,533: A View from the Coops

Day 4,533: A View from the Coops

So, Cooper had 15 teeth extracted today (fifteen!). Over half of those were already actually broken off, and just the roots sitting in his gums. When we took him in for the procedure, we assumed it was periodontal disease, but that turns out not to be the case: he has...

Day 4,532: Always

Day 4,532: Always

Coops goes under tomorrow morning to get some teeth extracted. Poor bubs has some periodontal disease that’s developed over the past couple years despite the fact that we brush his teeth, dental chews, stuff in his water…sigh. We didn’t do good enough, I guess. But...
