I had a solid work day today. Three thousand words. Plus, I got all my other tasks done today, too. It was a good day. A wonderful way to end the week, and a bit of a relief, too, because I was tired today. I was teetering on the edge of failure all day, and I pushed through.
Huge day today, now that I think about it. Huge.
I feel like I’m back. Words are flowing. Ideas are coming. The confidence is returning, along with more positive thinking. It’s an upswing. Just need to keep the momentum going.
The Ho and I have decided where our next trip is going to be to: the UK. Probably just England, but we’ll see. Maybe Ireland, too, or Wales or Scotland. Not sure. We have to start looking into it. It would be my first time going to Europe, and only my third time getting off the North American continent. Crazy, huh?
Coco is currently chomping away on her Whimzee. I think she’s going to actually eat it tonight. Coops came up on to the bed, and the always spurs her to eat it instead of leave it. She’s afraid he’ll try and take it from her (and he would if he could, too).
The A’s won tonight in dramatic fashion. We gave up 6 runs in one inning to a very, very sub-par team in the Twins, but then we immediately hit a 2-run bomb in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game…which went into extra innings…and set up a walk-off home run from Khris Davis to win the game, his 45th of the year. He’s going to get MVP votes this year. So will our closer, Blake Treinen. Crazy. Our 93rd win of the year. We’re so good.
It’s even crazier to me that I’ve been writing this blog long enough to have written about the last time the A’s were a good team, all the way back in 2014. I started right at the END of baseball season in 2013, so I didn’t have the chance to write about that team…in fact, now that I think about it, it’s no coincidence that I decided to undertake the challenge of writing a blog AFTER baseball season had ended…but yeah, we were good in 2014. That was four years ago. Crazy.
In just over a month, this daily journaling will hit five years. Five years of my life, written down in black and white. So much angst over work/writing. So much sports. So much movies. So much doggos.
Sounds pretty damn good to me 🙂
Night!
Ps – selfie tonight because I got new glasses! Nothing wrong with my current ones, but I had a gift certificate and I needed a backup pair anyway. Super happy with them 🙂 What do you think?
