Hitch is hitting a stride. Hasn’t all come together yet, for sure, but I know he’s taken a leap in that I’m starting to look forward to watching his movies each week. They’re tipping from intellectual exercise into “movie” territory. They’re becoming entertaining....

Tired days. The time change is hard, but the new daylight hours are invigorating. I wouldn’t say I’m refreshed or particularly energized, but they do suit me. I wrote. I read. I got Netflix work done. I yoga’d. I went to Costco with Bear and we got the groceries we...

I lost a week on the front yard project last week, and I nearly lost another this week by not doing anything on it this weekend. I fixed that today. I started moving the big, heavy stuff. There’s several inches of mulch in the front planter-thing, several inches of...

Joy is NOT moving to let Liz into bed ahahahaha. It was a solid day today. Whew. Got my writing done in the morning, on time, got started on work on time, yoga and lunch like wham-o blam-o, which meant that we got to go over to Nicole and Alex’s and hang with their...

I watched Barbie. Or, rather, finished it tonight. Really enjoyed it. That could have been such a hollywood movie, y’all. It could have been pink and pretty and that’s it. But it wasn’t. It was thoughtful. It reached for some really, truly deep shit, and more often...

Daylight savings time is the best time. Let’s be honest: nobody wants “night” to begin at 4 fucking pm. This is the time of year I come alive. For whatever reason, that “extra” hour of daylight means everything to me. THAT SAID… …the transition is goddamn murder. I...

I caught up on some sleep today. Took the pups on walkos, took Coops to see the vet for his ear and got him some medications to make it go away, watched the Jedda Grand Prix, took a nap, cleaned the house, walked the pups again, helped set up for our friends Audrey...

Hollywood knows how to make a movie, man. Or at least we did by 1940. That’s the year Hitchcock came over to the states to start making movies here, and damn. It is a STEP. UP. For real. Movie is called Rebecca. It was fine overall, but it was a leap from his British...

Beautiful day out to start, and then it got super dark grey cloudy around 3 when it was time for therapy…and then there was thunder, lighting, and lots of rain. So wild! We rarely, rarely get weather like that on the coast. I don’t actually know why that is. It...

Joy does not like mouth-trumpet. Snacks hung out with me in my office for almost an hour today, and snuggled up close to me by the curtains, even. That’s the first time he’s EVER done anything like that, especially choosing to come close to me and settle down for a...
