1. Mom has been gone 3 weeks and things are still a bit messy for me. I'm not sure if the stroke I had in early 2020 is making this harder on me or not. Being alone in the house bothers me the most. I notice it mostly when I watch TV before bed each night and in meal prep as I'm only making food for myself. Things are slowly getting better. I guess it is just taking time. I don't remember how long it was before things got "normal" when Dad passed in early 2008.

2. Waiting for LoL to start again. I guess the new format of LEC will have it starting first. LCS has me most fired up for it as I only give LPL a look on YouTube some days and LCK get almost zero looks from me.

3. Michigan vs. Ohio State is the "big" game today. Same thoughts on college football. I like to know the final scores. That is about it.

4. My old high school football team remains undefeated so far this season. Last night they won 49-35 in the semis of the state playoffs. They made the finals of their class. They will have a very tough matchup in the finals. I hope they win.

5. Daily I play Phobies. It is on Steam and it is F2P. You can spend money on the game if you want to speed things up. Thus far, I have been F2P. If you enjoy card games you should give it a try. I have almost 700 hours in it according to Steam. 

6. FM23 has been released. I failed in my attempt with Como of Serie B. I switched to Oxford City of tier 6 England. I got fired at Oxford City. I'm now playing as Chester. I need a top half finish with Chester. It is early in Season 1. Things are good so far. I need to add some players to avoid a collapse down the stretch. You can watch me on www.twitch.tv/southernstar71 You can catch up on things at YouTube. 

7. Game Pass is such good value. It allows me to try several games that I wouldn't otherwise get to play. I plan to try out Soccer Story when it releases next week. Hopefully it catches my attention.

8. Check out my YouTube and give me a free sub.  www.youtube.com/c/southernstar71

9. I do these for my mental health. If I was more concerned about generating income from these posts, I would do posts daily and make them about crypto stuff. Expressing myself doesn't come naturally to me.

10. I have 2 sets of sheets in the dryer. Doing laundry is one of the biggest changes to my routine. I did some on Thursday. I try to do more of it on the weekend as I don't stream Saturday or Sunday. I will make my bed up sometime today so it is ready for me to sleep in tonight. Also plan to get a shower soon.
