Liz’s fam is in town for her birthday. We had a dope-ass al fresco dinner and the weather was freaking perfect. Joy pushed her loose tooth out. Work was slow. I mopped the floors. Got writing in; still a slog there but we’re so close. It was a good day. Looking...

Joy has a loose tooth. I noticed she was doing this weird thing with her tongue in her mouth, like licking/smacking much more than normal. I thought maybe there was something she’d chewed on or eaten, like string or something, which she is wont to do, so I took a look...

Would you rather drink dirty toilet water or eat dirty kitty litter? These are the questions that my wife asks me as I’m settling down to write my journal entries for the day. Wtf! lol. My answer was a simple shake of my head. That’s a no to both, thank you very much....

Short one tonight bc it’s beeeedddd tiiiiimmmmeee. Writing today was fine. Very close, but still grinding. Happy with what I wrote, which is the win, but didn’t hit my page count. Haven’t for some time, which is frustrating. Work was slow, which was nice. Pups are...

I watched Ad Astra today. For the second time, actually. I remember watching it…during the pandemic, I think? Which would make sense because it came out in 2019. Guys…that is a bad movie. It thinks it’s so smart, but holy fuck is that movie stupid. It’s beautiful in...

I watched A Serious Man today and it reminded me a lot of Waiting for Godot. I need to read that play again, but I recall it being about two men waiting for God to show up and give them purpose, direction, and answers. God, of course, never arrives. How like life,...

I went straight to bed last night. I remember turning out the light, putting my head on my pillow, and thinking…dammit, I didn’t write a journal entry. Joy was already on top of me, snuggled tight, and I could feel the sleep train leaving the station. So, I let it go....

Happy Birthday Mira! Seventeen. She made out like a bandit with the presents which was great to see. The cards are always my favorite, truly. Dinner was great, from a Filipino takeout restaurant that’s inside a little bodega-style store. It’s so LA it’s wild. So many...

Thoughts I’ve had today… Cooper is mostly blind on his blue-eye side now so I need to make sure I give him treats from the other side, so he can see them. I wonder if yesterday was the last rain of the season. I wonder what the difference is between Instant Noodle...

Very close on the organizing of the finances. Sigh. I want to do things differently with them. Keep better on top of them. I can. I’ve done it before. But it’s been hard these past few years. Need to do better. We’re okay, though. That’s the good news. We’re hanging...
