A solid day. Last night was an adventure though; literally right after turning out the lights to fall asleep, Joy decided to puke in bed. All over the sheets. And the mattress below. So, it was a quick strip of the bed, tossing the sheets into the wash, dabbing off...

I wasn’t sure what kind of day this was going to be for me today. I didn’t have anything planned, per se. I just wanted to wake up and see how I felt. Was wiped out and exhausted a few days ago at the end of last week, and this weekend was going to offer a couple...

It was Ashika’s 4th birthday (party) today. She turns 4 for real on Monday. But, today was the big bash, and big it was. She legit had like 20 kids show up. Bounce house in the backyard. Tons of pizza. Moana showed up. We went up early to help get everything ready. It...

Making this a quick one, but…took it more low-key today. Work was actually fairly busy, but I didn’t try to cram in all the other stuff. I mentally took it off. Let stuff go. It worked. I feel better. One step toward better, anyway. Mental recharge, here I come. Night...

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...
