The annual mortgage lending compliance training is today. It is as boring as it sounds.

My nephew's 4th birthday was today and he's finally to the age where he's starting to understand what a birthday is. Aunt life is getting really fun now.

Well, I can go back to not bothering to pay attention to the Bengals again. Lol, that was embarrassing.

In this inning, the Dodgers be like, yeah, we can hit home runs too.

I don't know what is happening right now, but the Jonas Brothers are performing and 16-year-old me is happy 😂

Successfully changed the battery in my car key fob and even though it was very easy and took me 10 minutes, I feel very accomplished. It's the little things.

The dude behind home plate wearing the T-shirt. What is his reason for wearing that, besides attention?

Ok, enough football for today. (I watched half of one game). It's baseball time.

Didn't see myself caring about college football in November this year, but here we are. Don't let me down, Bearcats.

I am excited for UC football again, which means I will be inevitably crushed whenever they lose.

Get into that Dodger bullpen and you've got a chance...

Game 3 of the 2012 NLDS.

I don't agree with some of Canada's politics, but they do have a top-tier national anthem.

Go Blue Jays.

My YouTube algorithm is currently a bunch of reaction videos to different TikToks. Let me tell you, people will tell the Internet anything and snitch on themselves in ways you didn't think possible.

Oh no. His wife is due to have a baby at any time.

Made it to Wednesday night 😞. Got home and my apartment was 66 degrees, and that's before the temperature drop down to 30-something tonight.

I have a coworker who comments about how I eat salads every day. First, it's not every single day. Second, you know America as a whole is unhealthy when eating a salad (a good salad with chicken, avocado, tomato and homemade ranch dressing, btw) is viewed as weird.

I'm that weird person who likes getting my teeth cleaned. I like the feeling of all the gunk being removed. It could also be that my hygienist and I talk about sports in between the cleaning.

I hope Joey Votto shows up to Game 1 of the World Series and FOX shows him on camera all game.

Now that's a real celebration after winning the pennant 😏 Oh man, do I feel so bad for Mariners fans though. So close 💔

You can always count on former Reds to be in high-pressure situations in the playoffs. This year, it's Jeff Hoffman.

I just remembered something I said in early September and let me tell you, the Blue Jays are winning the World Series because of it.

I hope Nick Krall's watching this game and thinking "huh, maybe home runs really do win baseball games."

Somehow I knew that was going to happen. Dang it, now I have to stay up later!

The Mariners' stars are stepping up at the time when they need them the most. What's that like to watch as a fan? I can't relate.

An hour in and only in the top of the third? Come on, I can't stay up late tonight....I got a dentist appointment at 7:30 tomorrow.

I think this is the truest baseball tweet for me

The Reds won the world series 35 years ago today. A lifetime ago. No, literally, for me, it really is a lifetime.

Three straight innings with double plays. Am I watching the Mariners or the 2025 Cincinnati Reds tonight?

Dang it, Seattle.

I've had to say goodbyes to a lot of different friends who have moved away over the course of my life, ever since I was 8 and my best friend down the street moved. Let me tell you, it never gets easier. (Had to finally say goodbye today to my friends who are moving to DC).

Finally bought my first apple cider of the season today. This is your reminder that apple is the superior fall flavor.

Just saw the low temps for this week 😳 So it begins....

Bowl eligible in mid-October and tied for first place in the Big 12. I think the Bearcats are back. #OnwardToVictory

Got myself a fall drink from Dutch Bros this afternoon. It's a real problem for me that this place is on the way to my parents' house.

Things I do instead of scrolling endlessly on my phone, part 1: Make pancakes and enjoy a beautiful Saturday morning.

The Dodgers aren't even showing that much excitement about winning the pennant. Lame. Go AL.

No way.

Turned on the other baseball game to see the Dodgers turn a double play on a flyout to left. Geez, Milwaukee.

Can't imagine what it's like to watch an opposing batter hit a grand slam against your team in the playoffs 😳

GENOOOOOO!!!! Forever one of my favorites. So happy he got that moment. 🥰🥰🥰

That was such a cool moment in Seattle, and it only tied the game.

I hurt for George Springer just watching that 😬

Came home from work with a headache and a scratchy throat. Trying to decide if it's just due to pressure changes from the impending weather tomorrow night or if I'm actually getting sick.

I'm not saying there's something about athletes named Joe (or Joey) playing incredibly well for Cincinnati sports teams, but also....

Kirk Herbstreit has a text thread among his friends named "pain" for Reds conversations. That's accurate.

The sports broadcasts are really hyping up 40-year-old athletes as old tonight, and as someone who is halfway to 40 (say what? 😬), I do not appreciate it.

The Reds scored nine runs in two games against the Dodgers in the wild card series and I did not appreciate that fact enough, apparently. Of the six games the Dodgers have played, the Reds scoring totals ranks second and third highest.
