Had a great tine at the Rangers game on Sunday. It was a good way to get Pepsi more exposure to crowds & cheering.

This past week PTSD has been really affecting me. From getting ill at Worlds and bringing home to my family, missing a friend’s funeral service because of said illness, my performance at Worlds, overall a lot of negative things causing me to spiral. I’m finally starting to come out of it.

Hope y’all have Dodrio for next season

A good friend of mine and pillar of the Pokémon TCG community, Jason Kingsford, aka JustInBasil, passed away unexpectedly in the early hours of the morning.

My stats for the season. Went to a bunch of events, and even staffed a few. I realized after EUIC that fatigue would really get to me as tournaments went on, so for Atlanta I tried a new strategy to minimize fatigue.

I had the privilege of working with all of these amazing people this weekend! I look forward to working alongside them and others next season!
And with that, #PokemonNAIC has officially come to a close! Let's take a moment to thank each and every one of our staff that helped make this event happen. Next stop, Worlds! ❤️

Pepsi is having arthritis pain in his hips. He’s too young to have to be suffering this. Gonna do everything I can to make him comfortable, especially when traveling.

Made T24 in the largest Pokémon GO regional to date. 2 back-to-back top cuts, I’m feeling pretty confident going forward.
