Having her number retired will be something she will always remember. That is delightful.

Was it...good, as a beverage?

A bit salty, but not terrible. I can't say I recommend it as a better method of consumption.

Aw for the number retirement. That's so cool!

Yes! I love that!

She literally saved the baseball program last year when she joined the team (at the captain's request) so they could field nine players and have a season. At no small sacrifice, as she had to learn how to throw and hit a baseball (quite different from softball), change positions from catcher to second, and be one of the only girls on an all boy's team. And then co-captained this season, as the only girl and one of only two seniors, which was going successfully until her teammates failed to do their homework. She showed a lot of leadership on the team too. Vocally encouraging, but also calling players to task at failed fundamentals.

I'm really proud of her.

She's been struggling lately.

The Memorial is bringing up a lot of heavy emotions for her, whereas for me I'm more focused on celebrating Jacqueline's life and sharing her story and seeing beloved faces.

SJ there’s a part of me sincerely hoping that they were attempting to not offer ableist unsolicited help, and overcompensated. But that’s mostly rose tinted glasses, they were more likely just being oblivious. So sorry.
Awesome about the Jersey retirement. Sounds like M totally deserves all the recognition and awards. Including “most unnecessary excesssive eye contact”. Legit LOL. At least they didn’t accuse her of the evil eye?

Yall will appreciate this. My dude has his colonoscopy tomorrow so today is the big prep. Of course I asked about his planned diversions for the evening and he was planning on playing Civ as being the perfect “one more turn game”. Well, the drinking of the grossness hasn’t even commenced yet and he’s already over Civ for the day, apparently, so he started watching Buffy. He’s never seen Buffy before, totally missed out. He does love Firefly/Serenity so ive low key nudged a couple times. But tonight? On the one hand, im thrilled that he’s immersing in the lore. On the other hand, this is literally the worst day to associate with season 1!!!

Wait until he gets to the episode when the monster of the week was a colonoscopy in demonic form!

Has he seen Dogma ?

After eating my sauceless tempura I went to the bathroom to wash my greasy fingers. Someone I knew came out of the stalls to wash her hands and I had a moment of "do I say hi? Do I smile and nod?" but we just did not make any eye contact at all so no interaction was needed. Made me think of Matilda

You don't want to get written up for reckless eyeballin'!

That saved you a trip to HR.
