When you're in a remote meeting and someone is sharing their screen...don't try to click on THEIR icons.

I've got absolutely nothing to shit post about today and I feel empty.

Step 1: He raw dough Step 2: He baked loaf

A Federal judge just blocked Texas's gerrymandered map from going into effect!

I really think weekends should be more than five minutes long.

Saw "Now You See Me Now You Don't" and brought my refillable bucket ($1 popcorn). The new 2026 buckets are out so I got one. Filled 'em both. MAXIMUM POPCORN

About to head out to my last author event of the year. It's always bittersweet. After this, it's time to focus down the rest of Mage Breaker: [REDACTED] and get it to my publisher. And then...oh just wait.

I brought back from the dead a basil plant last night!* *a basil plant I neglected and almost killed But, literally, I ignored it for 48 hours and it tried to perish. Talk about drama!

It's Friday, and I'm awake and that all-- Wait, what? It's THURSDAY??? Bloody hell.

My two lame northern lights pics from last night. Our neighborhood has too many lights.

Same, Thor. Same.

We're moving buildings at work and I'm currently in that liminal space where I've got to have everything ready to move but still have to actually work.

Running in 23-degree windchill today really wasn't so bad! In fact, I once again got too warm. Go figure.

It's Monday but really all I want to do is cozy up with some hot coffee and write, because my brain suddenly gifted me a bunch of stuff for Mage Breaker: [REDACTED] and I'm really excited!

Perfection. He fulfills his own idiocy every time.

You might think I'm behind you in traffic, cussing you out for something but I'm actually oblivious to you, simply singing along loudly and poorly to Kpop Demon Hunters.

It's Friday, and it definitely feels like it.

My Bitch Face is NOT resting. It's working hard, dammit.

I hope there are lots of tears and lots of fear in the hearts of a lot of people this morning after last night's results. And I hope the momentum not only keeps up, but gets way stronger.

We have nothing on our ballot today so I can't vote. But I'd be voting HARD with the rest of you for the chance to right this damned ship if I could.

"I don't care who or what you vote for, just get out and vote!" Ha ha no. Quit voting for terrible shit that's ruining our country you absolute grapes.

The office already has some Christmas decorations up and I'm not mad. There are also still Halloween decorations up and I'm definitely not mad.

I've got Chapter 25 open on my PC all day. I've laid down a couple paragraphs off and on. This is how I have to write at home or none of it gets done.

Got some more words down this morning and delivered some leftover Halloween treats to the baristas. I'm probably going to start writing at home--just little bits at a time. This deadline is fast approaching.

♫Happy happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock!♫

I love Halloween but I often lament its passing before it's even arrived.

It's just really nice to not have an alarm wake me up in the morning.

Proof of yearly beard, and an attempted cocky eyebrow.

I haven't sent a newsletter or updated the blog on my website for quite a while. But I'm pretty okay with that because I don't really have anything to say. Just quietly working on this Mage Breaker book to try and meet a deadline.

Today started off poorly--plus it was Monday. But I figured out a problem at work, then had a really badass run over lunch and Monday wasn't so bad!

Lol the Bengals lost to the JETS ha ha

Every night is a game of "Which cat or dog is lying on me in bed?" This question often has multiple answers.

Definitely DO NOT mention how the only people arrested on No Kings Day was magat deplorables. Absolutely DO NOT keep making that public. You don't want to hurt their fragile, childlike feelings because they'll get upset and call you names. But facts don't lie, so...

My wife has brought all the plants indoors until spring. This is not all of them. Some now reside in the bedroom.

Pumpkin season and FINALLY hoodie season!

PROTIP: If you order coffee on the app and then head out to go to work, remember that you ordered coffee and actually pick it up before you get to work.

I've received a bunch of requests for more dumpster fires and I assure you I'm working on them as quickly as I can which, unfortunately, is not super quick right now. After this weekend, I should be able to focus on them more, and I'll put them up in my Etsy shop.

According to several different sources, the young republicans fates: Hendrix as promptly fired Senators are distancing themselves from Douglass Joe Maligno was fired

I have no focus tonight, so relaxing with a video game is out. Time to just stare at horror movies (currently Trick-R-Treat) until it's time to go to sleep.

This is gold. Thank you, Stephen Colbert. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5z...

Just dumped a ton of crumbs out of my keyboard. So, is anyone hungry?...

Healthy dinner followed by Halloween candy because I'm all about balance.

I'm hoping to FINALLY have the time tonight to be able to finish putting my Halloween decorations outside. I feel so far behind this year.

They all deserve to get paid, per the law. But I won't feel sorry for the idiots who voted for the supreme idiot who don't get paid. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

My coffee this morning is going to need some serious help because I am struggling to wake up. Happy Tuesday.(?)

It is now the first day of October, the absolute best BER month of the year! Happy October!

My social battery today is somewhere below zero.

I've been working on Mage Breaker: [REDACTED] for quite a while now but, as I begin looking to finish it up and send it to my publisher, I've begun to question what my next project is. Do I even have one? Oh no! Wait...yeah I have, like, five ideas waiting in the wings...never mind then.

Huzzah! It's Friday! Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Turns out, quitting caffeine for a while is much easier consuming it responsibly.
