Hit a bit of a wall today energy-wise. And not even writing-wise, just in general. Writing was good this morning! Great, even. It’s coming together. The best week I’ve had writing so far this year, in fact. But man…round lunch, when it was time to do yoga…I was done....

Left my iPad out in my office. Eye roooollll. Thumbin it over here on the old iPhone. Joy is being a maniac tonight. So silly. Right now she’s digging into my leg like she needs to build a burrow. And now she just dove underneath the blankets and wants to play blanket...

A busier day today, both writing-wise and work-wise…and I’m bushed. Feeling…feeling resistance. I’m close on this outline. But I’m not there yet. Big hole missing. I’ve been coming at it from a plot perspective, and I’ve gotten things reeaaaalllyyy close. But maybe I...

Joy giving me kisses right now on my arm. Sweetie pie. Good writing day. Otherwise…it was slow, and that means anxiety creeps in, which god, I know…there’s issues there. Issues calming down. Issues being idle. I know this. I know this. Working on it. It’s not that...

I watched a documentary today on the opioid crisis in this country, and it was pretty eye opening. How often our healthcare system fails people. Law enforcement, too, and government. There are good people out there, without question, but there are also a LOT more...

Got to hang with our friends Derrick and Gary tonight. Loooooove them. Been a while since I got to hang with them. A WHILE. They’re good. Food was amazing. We drank some wine. We talked. We petted pups and kitties. It was perfect. Edited the podcasts today. Got caught...

It’s late! But not crazy late. Josh and I did pretty good tonight getting through the podcasting tasks. And the movie was good, too! The Lady Vanishes. Fun premise! Not perfectly executed, for sure, but the pieces were mostly there, and the premise was a legit...

I just had to move Joy so my elbow had somewhere to rest as I type this entry out. She make the sweetest little grunt, a cozy sound, to let me know I’d awakened her. It’s the little things like that I love so much about sharing our bed with the dogs. They’re so cozy....

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! It’s super late, so I’ll keep this one brief…but it was a wonderful day. We made ourselves dinner! Steak, potates, salad, and shishito peppers with a super fancy bottle of Napa cab. It was insanely good. Legitimately, insanely good. And...

So…I want to make a fruit tart for valentine’s day. Liz and I are making it together, but it’s my idea, my initiative. Two elements can be made in advance, the pastry cream and the tart pastry dough. So, we decided to make those tonight. I’m positive we botched both...
