Seven days into yoga, I have my first very sore muscle. Sigh. This is what happens when you don’t do yoga for almost year and then get back into it. Pretty sure it’s my gluteus medius because we did some core workouts with our legs yesterday. Very sore. Means it’s weak, I think, and then got suddenly over worked. It will go away. Tomorrow is an easy day. After that, I’ll take it easy on that…

We waged war against the drain gnats tonight. I hope we were successful. It was boiling water, a brush, and the old baking soda + vinegar routine. I know that plumbers say never to put stuff down your drain, so that was about the least caustic method we could find. It won’t be a regular thing. And our drains are not clogged. This was entirely to get rid of flies. Or gnats. Whatever they are. Tiny…

And today Wolfie graduated (got “promoted”) from sixth grade. He’s going to junior high next year! That’s…wild. Wild wild wild. We need to help him get some clothes. I just had to pause to let Joy lick my face for a bit. She wasn’t done, I guess. I always indulge her for a little bit, and then I tell her that’s enough, and she flops over into the crook of my shoulder and I hold her there for a…

Apparently, they do 8th grade “promotion” these days rather than “graduation.” Congrats Matilda! So proud of you. Wolfie is tomorrow morning. He said he’s going to sing a song. I can’t wait. It’s laaaate. More tomorrow. Promise.

Yo. Today was…a long, long day. And I am wiped. But I got everything done, even yoga, just in time. Whew. Tomorrow, hopefully, is more chill. I worked like 16 hours today, all things considered. Oh, and therapy, too. Time for sleeeeeep.

It’s bed time, so quick one… Went to a fun birthday party tonight out in Malibu, a house perched up on the very top of a hill. The view was spectacular. Party was actually very sweet. Had a great time. Work was busy. I did phone calls and paperwork, too—not work related—that was stressful but needed to be done, so that’s good. Writing was brief. Night night.

There are many things that I’m passionate about. One is that, by far, I prefer the original Star Wars trilogy pre-specialized; the versions I grew up on, that all of us who are a certain age grew up on. Don’t get me wrong, when the updated versions hit theaters, I was super excited to go see them and even very much enjoyed them…but my favorite versions of the movies have always been the…

Ah. ‘Twas a good Sunday. Liz and I laid in bed late, which we so rarely get to do these days with my work schedule. So, that was wonderful. Then we walked the pups, I ate some food, and then went out and weed whacked in the front yard. We watched the F1 race, which was a corker! So much happened. Then I took a nap, Liz went to go see a play with Nicole, and it was me and the pups for the…

Joy continues to be in good shape. She seems to be past it, now, thank goodness. She’s been in normal shape for four full days, now. Happy baby. Crazy. She’s so playful, you guys, and it was legit terrifying to see her fade like that, just shut down. Health, truly, is the only thing that matters. We have a finite supply of it, and we must must enjoy it while we can. We watched The Favourite…
