Summer drifting by

1) So this is my birthday week. It's #38, and thankfully I still can convince people that I'm in my 20s. I don't have any specific plans for that day, well, besides blood and work. But the Jim Gaffigan show will be the next night in Norfolk, so it's something to look forward to.

2) Wow, I have a coffee date on Tuesday with a cop. She offered to give me her number before I even asked for it. It's pretty amazing how it happens so easily with some, while some others make it impossible to have a conversation or to ever get together.

3) I baked blueberry lemon pecan bread this past week. Really thought about taking it into work, but I think I'm just gonna hold onto this one for myself, freeze it, and give a little bit away at a time when the moment is right.

4)  It's so weird that I brought a grapefruit for the 1st time in 2 years today. I've always liked them, but I've never had the craving for one. Then again I don't know too many people who wake up and crave grapefruits,  I think pretty much anybody who eats grapefruits regularly is doing it because they will feel healthier about themselves.

5)  I try to convince myself I can have the air conditioner off in the summer time, until it is time to go to sleep in my bedroom which does not have a ceiling fan. And then going to sleep takes me about 30 minutes of tossing and turning.

Something about being off on a Friday

1) Well, mom is moved into her new apartment in North Carolina. It was 5 days that basically can be summarized this way... driving, unpacking, heavy lifting, and shopping. She told me I went above and beyond, but the way I see it, I can't go above and beyond for her. She deserves everything I can give her. Because she'd have done the same for me.

2) I have absolutely no joy for the United States women's soccer team winning the World Cup. Because with that arrogant,  disrespectful bitch MR absolutely mocking this country, she absolutely ruined it. I'm convinced Sue Bird has CTE or some kind of irreparable brain damage to spend a time with such a horrible human being.

3)  But enough of the queers and dykes. I'm getting back into softball after 7 or 8 years away. I don't know what it is, but playing baseball strains my legs like no other activity, not even all out sprinting.  I seriously I need to figure out a way to keep my calves loose and my hip flexors pain free. But in the exhibition game, I had 6 hits in 6 at bats, so maybe my swing is getting better with time. Eh, it's probably my raw power...

4) When she says she wants you, but you know it's only because she's desperate to be in a relationship and it has little if anything to do with you specifically... hard pass.

5)  I will always continue to support Ring of Honor wrestling even if it's not the cool trendy promotion to follow anymore. F the haters.
