It’s pretty clear we’re watching the splintering of college sports. There will still be college sports, I predict. But then a level above with college affiliated pro clubs. Then full pro. www.espn.com/mens-college...

I didn't get my Publix ice cream freebie for my birthday. I was looking forward to the sherbet for my smoothies. 🙁

Sometimes it all just clicks later! The discipline, excitement, ability, and money. Sometimes the best version of “you” for the pursuit of those things is older!
i know it's not too late to indulge in my passions and hobbies but sometimes i wish i didn't waste so much time.

I talked to a customer service rep yesterday, they said they were open today w/ limited staff. Now it did not say that on the website but I let them cook, you work there. Ain't nobody answering the phone. I should've pushed back. 🙄

I appreciate that post. BUT when we talked about introverts and outside. In THAT situation Imma say no or it's gonna be a HARD push to go. If I'm not comfortable w/ the surroundings/environment AND I don't know anyone...yeah, hard to get over the anxiousness and nervousness there.

Drove up to Randallstown for snickerdoodles. My family acting like it's too far. Y'all know these snickerdoodles. Y'all know the goodness. Yes, it's worth the drive. Also, Security used to be the closest Great Cookie. Liberty Rd ain't much further.

Was driving behind a Cybertruck today and it was holding up the fast lane. I had a lot of choice words for it and the driver. Loser.

The senior centers in the county have all these free classes AND free food! I told my Mom she needs to get her ass up and go.
I'd be all over that! I'd be lucky if any type of that kind of resource is available when I retire.

Made my annual pilgrimage to IKEA. I always like walking the entire store. Didn’t do too much damage + had a birthday coupon.
Met up w/ a friend from my message board days. This is 2nd friend this month that I’ve reconnected w/ from that era. Good times.

Let my Father have it once over my weight. Dropped. I'm your child, but I'm not a kid. You can't talk to me any kinda way.

Experimented w/ white sweet potatoes for a pie, the lady at the Farmer's Market said they were sweeter and her daughter had made a pie at Thanksgiving that was well received. It was good but weird. I can't pin what was different about it. It tasted like candy. I'll stick w/ regular orange.

Learned to make sweet potato pie from my Mom who is the master. A tad difficult journey as she bakes on vibes and I like a good ol step by step recipe + elderly memory. But my friend, who came over to learn too, and I managed to guesstimate measurements.

Thank you for confirming my choice to not ever have a live tree.
they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE
