I just need to follow the plan and stick to the routine I’ve set out for myself (which isn’t really a plan or routine, but more like some vague idea of where I want to be at a certain point of the day). I’m not anxious, I’ve got this (okay, I’m a bit anxious). 🫨
I’ve got such a long day ahead, and it doesn’t help that today’s Halloween. The only positive (though it’s kind of sad) is that our place (actually, our neighborhood) hasn’t seen any trick-or-treaters in years. I’m not trying to be a curmudgeon, but it’d be nice if it stays that way tonight 🫩
🏀 : The Atlanta Hawks face the Brooklyn Nets in the second game of their three-game road trip. They'll be looking to get back in the win column while also avoiding becoming the Nets’ first win of the new season. Tipoff is listed as 7:30 p.m.
🏈: Congratulations to the Kennesaw State Owls for becoming bowl eligible for the first time since joining the FBS.
Now that I got that out of my system, all that's left for me to do now is just respond as best I can to the questions in front of me. There's no point in worrying about it now, I can only hope that they'll still be willing to give me a shot, but if not, we move on to the next thing.
Well, I've screwed up again. For all my lamenting about my ineptitude, I can get cocky if it justifies my indolence and now, I have < 3 days to submit something I had nearly 2 weeks to complete.

And the worst part: I thought I knew the answers, but I don't b/c I skimmed over the questions.
⚽️: I love Tata and his contributions to Atlanta, but I’m cautious about a reunion. I'm unsure if he'll be given the control needed to build out a roster similar to his first run in Atlanta.
Tata Martino the frontrunner for Atlanta United job, to return as manager: Sources
Martino could be making a sensational return to Atlanta, where the club has a coaching vacancy after firing Ronny Deila

🏀: Atlanta kicks off its road trip with a loss in Chicago, 128-123. They fall to 1-3 as they head to Brooklyn to take on the winless (0-4) Nets on Wednesday night. 😮‍💨
🏀: The Atlanta Hawks tipoff a three-game road trip tonight against the Chicago Bulls. Here's to wishing they fare better tonight than they did on Saturday night.
I’m so pathetic, I can’t even be sad correctly. 😅
Another chicken restaurant has opened in town.

There are now five primarily chicken restaurants within 1.5 mi. of each other, and four of them are less than a 0.3 mi. apart. 👥 ♥️ 🐔
I hate when people ask me for recommendations. I don't need that pressure placed upon me.
If anyone was wondering, I'm not ignoring you, I just lack the energy to engage in any direct social interactions.
FIFA is ridiculous! (Shocking, right? 😱)

There was a wait to enter a drawing for a chance to purchase tickets to the 2026 World Cup.

I'm sorry, but the fact that you have to enter yet another drawing is already dumb, but having to wait just to enter that drawing is stupid. 🤯
I don't have a subscription, so perhaps there's some clarification in the article, but isn't Dillon Gabriel a starter now? Cleveland traded their previous starter to a divisional rival, and well, their other "starter" isn't expected to see the field again until next season.
I wish someone would pay me $50+ million to leave a job.
The rain and cold are depressing, or maybe that's just an excuse.
Of course, I recognize it is my fault that my life lacks the structure I claim to want. I could simply create goals and tasks to work on, but I oftentimes elect not to take any action.
I'm not asking for everyday to become more mundane--maybe every other day. I don't think there's anything wrong with knowing what you'll be doing from time to time.
Everyday is a new adventure, and to be honest, it gets old real quick. Would it be too much to ask for some consistency—a bit of stability?
🏈: The NFC South is getting rocked by the AFC South in this early window of games. Carolina is currently down 37 against Buffalo, while Atlanta is down by 28 against Miami.
🏈: I'm not a Yellow Jackets fan, but dropping a spot in the AP poll despite remaining undefeated by soundly defeating their opponent yesterday is disrespectful.
🏈: Is it time to give Hendon Hooker a look because it's becoming clear Andy Dalton isn't up for this? 😵‍💫
⚽️: Manchester United over Brighton, 4-2.

That's another victory for Manchester United, which brings the streak to THREE straight Premier League wins!

Next for United is Nottingham Forest at The City Ground on 11/1.
Is it too much to want to be acknowledged? To know that others are as invested as you are in trying to maintain connections outside of the environment that originally brought you together?

Sometimes, I get tired of doing the heavy lifting, and it'd be nice if someone else did it instead.
