My Day so far...

Picture of a wall with the following caption:

Current status: watching paint dry. As it's drying, it splits and I'm left with uncovered patches. *sigh*

Also: might have more paint on baseboards and floors than the walls.

This is why I can't organize on my own. Trying to clean out the desk by the back door. "oh! That's my missing motion sensor. Oh. It's dead. I should get a new one. Oh! Simplisafe having a sale. I want an update to the camera too. And some sensors need replacing." A few hours, a third set of a fun tennis match, and $150 later and I'm nowhere near getting the small desk cleaned out.

Doing my Served redraw and it's worth getting no points to make a heart prediction like this.

We have a winner in the tile lottery for the kitchen! It ain't gonna be cheap, but I love this even more in person than online. One row of the spiky pattern tile, the rest solid gray (so I won't have to deal with the pattern being cut up so much).

Story says that my stupid sleeves will not stop her from licking popcorn butter and salt from my hands. #dogsofbluesky

A dog nose sticks out under under a floppy shirt sleeve to lick salt and butter off her human's hand.

Fluffy goodness seen while driving back from mom's. Definitely improved my mood.

This tree is no more. It has ceased to be. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It is an ex-tree.

Dead stick that used to be a tree is bent over like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree.

I'm looking at a town home to buy and saw this in the listing... Is this a tennis ball mid bounce? If so, is this a sign? 😂🎾

Sofie going for extra cute paw placement while napping because she knows I'm upset that she peed on the carpet. She knows cuteness saves her. #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #portugesepodengo

This. So much this. (also, Bluesky needs a higher character limit)

“I would be very unhappy if I thought I hadn’t done everything to fight until the end,” Nadal says, finally having come to grips with his departure from tennis. “And now there is no fear. At all.” If he’d been blessed with a coach who didn’t play a part in creating that fear in the first place—if Moya had been there from the start—is it possible Rafa could have had the great career without as much of the pain? That’s a question for another documentary, but it’s a shame this one didn’t take it on after laying the foundation.

So much this... For me, it was a very uncomfortable watch. I find Toni to be abusive. And like many abusers, he groomed Rafa well. It's one thing to encourage discipline and commitment. It's another to make a person afraid to make a mistake & to insist on more tennis when Drs say a break is needed.

If there is a theme in the film, it’s the moment Nadal’s uncle, Toni, shows up. Even Nadal acknowledges the role his Uncle Toni played in his success. One thing Heinzerling does in detailing their relationship, especially in Episode 2, “The Rainmaker,” is to avoid playing the moral police. The audience will decide whether the methods Toni Nadal used to help his nephew become one of the greatest athletes of his generation were above board. Athletes and their relationships with family members or their entourage can be complicated enough; even here, when the love is apparent, it makes for a fascinating yet uncomfortable watch.

Riding in the car with Mery, sometime after his first-round loss to Alexander Zverev at the 2024 French Open, Nadal muses that his record of 14 titles at Roland Garros will be harder to break than the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, which Novak Djokovic holds.

Heinzerling said it was the only time in his months spent with Nadal he could get the player to say anything remotely complimentary about himself.

I made a thing. Soldering neatly is hard, y'all. This is not soldered neatly. Also, it's beak is comically large and a bit high on the body. (Is it upside down? I dunno.) Still happy with it as it was my first attempt at stained glass (and soldering.)
