keep having extremely literal dreams. was in the office making a slide deck about a current issue. No whimsy, nothing that couldn't work irl, no inception architecture. Feels like a betrayal of the dream state. I should be flying away from a metaphor for my relationships, not clicking "new slide"
idk what it is (jk i know what it is) but occasionally when i meet someone and they ask what I do and I say NWSL and "women's soccer league" they suddenly become unable to picture a pro sports league but with women. asking "so you travel to other cities? but you don't play other countries?" dude.
when my doctor asks me if i'm getting enough sleep drinking enough water getting exercise or taking a multivitamin

just need to document somewhere that I spent one (1) hour helping my wife chase a rabbit out of her garden because it was some kind of elite generational athlete and it was juking us like those sportscenter clips of a small child demolishing their peers at flag football

Now my wife is on the phone with her father while she watches and again it's highly apparent she comes from WNBA fandom because I suddenly hear: "They don't call any fouls and just brutally murder each other."
My wife who normally only watches the WNBA sat down for France-Germany and after about 80 minutes let out, "You think France should be good but they're not. It's like self destruction."

For @prosoccerwire.bsky.social, I've got more on those Giráldez-to-OL Lyonnes rumors, including fleshing out some important details from TV3's initial reporting about the inner workings at Kynisca:
#NWSL
Last 10 minutes of #UWCL I legit stopped having allergies, it was like I had finite room in my body for feelings and anxiety superseded all else
went to my fav local burrito spot, said I'm getting 2 things, 1 burrito and 1 side plantains, guy pulls out 2 tortillas and starts filling them, I'm like oh sorry I wanted 1 burrito, he says oh you don't want the 2nd burrito? ...no give me the 2nd burrito. this is the opposite of a problem.
