💐 Week Notes 019
🗓️ // May 4, 2025 - May 10, 2025
I was able to fix my 750 Word streak yesterday by logging 1500 words and taking advantage of the streak heal functionality. It actually wasn't a problem at all to keep going and pound out another 750 words. I'm still way behind on my blog in terms of the roughly two entries a week minimum that I have sitting in mostly draft form. I haven't had much to say on a daily basis lately, but there's no excuse not to get those Week Notes and Microcosm entries back posted.
- ⚽️ Spurs managed to win the away leg at Bodø/Glimt and make the Europaleague Finals in Bilbao where they'll face Manchester United. I feel good about our chances despite losing Maddison and Bergvall, and having Son out injured.
- 💐 Somewhat on top of Mother's Day preparations this year with stuff squared away for both Mary and my mom. Helping out my brother (who lives out of town) by picking up something for our mom on his behalf as well.
- ⚽️ Lots of debate about what to do with Postecoglou after the season. Most podcasters I listen to still want him to leave in the summer if he wins the Europa League because of his Premier League performance. I've had some of those feeling myself, but as we've continued to win I think that's actually completely foolish, but he needs to win it. You don't toss away the guy that's led you to your first international trophy in 40 years despite a horrendously injury plagued season. You put aside your embarrassment about the league and you back him.
Playing
- ⚽️🎮 No Bang Average Football this week as I was too busy focusing on the yard and MTG in my spare time.
- 🧙♂ Focused mostly on midweek magic and daily quests this week. Helped all three of my younger daughters win a few rares via Midweek Magic Historic Pauper. Lifedrain was the easiest decent deck to assemble without spending too many wildcards.
- 🧙♂ Played a little bit of Ranked Constructed (plateaued in Gold 3/4 right now) and did a couple Premier Drafts. Had good luck rare drafting, but the decks didn't fully come together and get many wins unfortunately.
Watching
- 📺 Andor season 2 continues to be great. The third act has been as devastating on Ghorm as I figured, but simultaneously kind of inspiring. I love how Cassian ended up grabbing his future droid companion. I love how in the face of all the chaos his scrapper upbringing saw a chance to enlist a super powerful droid to his cause. Cyril's arc ended perfectly as well.
Listening
- 🎶 I've mostly had my recent favorites on rotation with I've listened to Spotify. Continue to really like the new Lorde song.
- 🎙⚽️ Listened to tons of Spurs podcasts before and after Thursdays game as I basked in our Europa League success in an otherwise utterly dreadful season.
Projects
- 🏡 Did a lot of work on the front yard this week. Got the first third thoroughly raked and reseeded with some fast growing rye-grass that I hope will combine well and bolster the Kentucky Blue-Grass that's really had a hard time over the last couple years.
