Speaks

I hate passive-aggressive speech, and I’m not a fan of sarcasm. These two languages often leave me confused and uncertain about how I should feel about what was said. I try not to use either of these when I talk.

I do, however, love metaphors, and I often speak metaphorically.

Regular Season Nearly Over

As the regular season nears its end, I continue to watch the Detroit Tigers. They’re in last place, they have no hope of reaching the playoffs. But I remain a loyal fan and I will follow them to the end. The Tigers swept the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, now they’re playing the Kansas City Royals. There are two more series after the Royals.

The Cleveland Guardians. New York Yankees, Houston Astros, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers are going to the playoffs. Of those teams, I would root for the Astros, Dodgers and Braves.

None of the teams in the National League Central have secured a playoff berth yet. The St. Louis Cardinals are leading there, but the Milwaukee Brewers have a chance of taking it. I’m rooting for the Brewers there.

One Week with Chester

It’s been one week since I took in Chester. Feels like it’s been longer than that. We’ve made a lot of progress over the last seven days. Since he’s been here, I feel that I’ve been happier. I’m having fewer outbursts and I haven’t felt depressed. Chester seems happy himself. I think he knows that he is my dog now and he will never have to change homes again.
