Thanks, swampy. The Huskers will need all the support we can get playing in Indiana. At least we are coming off a bye week so we had a week to rest and try buff some rough edges off our special teams. I’m trying to stay hopeful but I know it’ll be a slug fest and likely a nail-biter of a close game. It’s on at 11am my time. At 2:30 I’ll start checking on the N.C. Wolfpack. Your Dawgs! Are considerate and playing in prime time (6:30pm) so I can space my cheering out over most of my day. Hopefully between the 3 teams I’ll have lots of chances to jump up off the couch and triumphantly yell “touchdown!”.
For now, til Husker kickoff in 90 minutes I’m going to hone my RDOS skills and drink

I got home at a little after 9pm, changed into jammies, took care of the doggy, made some popcorn, and started watching the Yankees game at the top of the 4th inning. It was another crazy/unpredictable game, but at least last night we got the W. It’s a 7-game series, and now we’re ahead 3-1: one more win and we go to the big show! 
I cancelled my mid-day personal training session, and – since now (a) I won’t be passing the grocery store on the way home from the gym and (b) I really don’t feel like leaving the house – I decided to place a Wegman’s/Instacart delivery order for bananas, today’s lunch (beef on weck), Gatorade Zero, and laundry detergent. I’m not usually lazy enough to have groceries delivered twice in one week, but blargh. It should get here right around noon.
I decided to get a small bookcase/side table for under my living room window, and ordered
