There is a world in which I am already done with the outside work part of my day. There is a world in which I am back at home, showered, in cute clothes. Sadly, we don’t live in that world. We live in the real world. Sigh.

For the record, THIS is the flaw with Citizens United. It’s not that they said corporations are protected under 1A. (because they are!) It’s not that they said campaign spending laws don’t have 1A implications. (because they do!) It’s that they refused to see the possibility of corruption from money

It seems breaking out a Tiny Pup memory was a good choice tonight. Tonight’s picture was from Jan ‘21. Oh, wouldn’t we love to go back to those days for more than just the tiny pup antics.

Full disclosure: tiny pup has grown up and lost some of that youthful optimism. She doesn’t want to see any more news tonight.

Everything is awful, so have a cute puppy picture. Tiny Pup doesn’t want you to be sad.

This evening has taken such a dark turn. We are massively screwed.

Fucking fire someone!

Erceg is lost. This coaching staff does not have the capacity to help him.

The 2-out, bases-loaded thing is working for us all of a sudden.

Hello, gorgeous.

I might need help curbing my Ado Annie tendencies today. When someone doesn’t get around to something until it’s too late, I am allowed to say no!

I’ve been going all morning thinking my schedule was an hour fuller than it is. Will I now do the over-dick-it thing where I end up being even more rushed because I was too relaxed about how much free time I have?

When setting the coffee up at night, one really ought to make sure the coffee pot is empty of all of that day’s brew. That’s just a tip from me to you.

Dear Pug: if you are on the bed that is too high for you to jump onto on your own and the thing you want is to sleep on said bed, the thing you should not do is jump off said bed. Or I guess you could just assume your sucker of a mommy will pick you up and put you back on the bed.

I can really enjoy that kid getting his first big league hit and run with a 7-run lead and 2 outs in the 9th.

Who are these guys?

So let me see if I understand this. The Royals had the bases loaded, right? And there were two outs? And we scored???

The ending of that Osaka match was sadly anticlimactic.

I need to find the remote. I’m pretty sure I know where it is…

So, remember 3 weeks ago when I was freaking out that my most regular income was going away for the summer? I don’t think that’s really gonna be a problem…

Nasty storms in the middle of the night are the worst. Hope you’re all safe.

I guess now I have to learn how the next round of baseball playoffs works.

What sort of weirdo would go see Supergirl just for the dog?

I’m sure there’s some fair reason why the non-host team who came through the loser’s bracket to get to this game is the home team. But it doesn’t feel right.

ROCK CHALK!!!

Just got called a Karen for thinking grown adults peeing in the shower is weird. Look, if telling you you can’t pee in my shower makes me a Karen, then call me Karen.

Gotta love the quirks of tennis scoring. Just a few points separates a dead even match from a huge lead.

If the Royals score but no one is watching, does it count?

The Rangers wearing powder blue is throwing me off.

Q cannot go to Cincinnati. He has got to be done today. This team is doing fundamental baseball wrong and he does nothing. You cannot convince me he brings anything of value to that clubhouse.

Bruno says, “Look, Mom, I love you and want to sit next to you but I ain’t watching this shit.” Fair, Bruno.

Hey, the team in powder blue has 3 runs! That’s good, right?

Pork chops with mango sauce and herbed rice.

Lucas, just serve up a meatball to end this, ok?

Ok, Carter.

Shit!!!

Don’t look at it. Don’t make it nervous.

We scored a run!!!

Kayla, please take the rest of the game off.

Do you ever find yourself lying awake in bed at 2 am wondering why in the fuck Q still has a job?

I’m once again begging the French Open to join the 21st century and automate their damn line calling!!

I hit the Discover side of Bluesky today. I can’t keep up.

I started working with a rescue dog this week, an 85lb boxer who is timid AF because of abuse. On Tuesday, barely got him to go half a block. Yesterday coaxed a 30 minute walk out of him. Y’all, today that sweetheart dashed to the door to greet me and beat me to the door to leave for our walk.

I just scheduled two meetings and I immediately added them to my calendar complete with addresses and two alerts.

I made someone very mad by saying Jannik Sinner’s inability to win a single game in the 3rd set today after he went up 5-1 is a choke job.

I didn’t know Clu Haywood was back with the Yankees.

Now where is my mojito muddler?

Can we designate Q for assignment?

Sarah, this is ridiculous, shouldn’t you be asleep by now so you can get up in the morning? NO!!!
