Spring Sports Soon

With winter sports coming to an end, the spring sports are up ahead and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. Although the winter season seems to be the shortest of them all, it’s always a great action filled season and I enjoy every moment.

With Baseball on the way in spring I see no world where the Spuds aren’t making playoffs this year. Although losing some of our seniors was rough, the talent is still there and we got our guys ready to go this year. The first practice in on the 9th with the first game on the 19th, leaving us roughly 8 days of hard practice to get ready for our first game.

Last year was a great year, as I led the team to its only 2nd appearance in CIF round 2 in school history. We may have lost some seniors who were key pieces and 2 kids transferred away, but were not letting that get to us.

Every year the anticipation to play baseball in the spring gets more and more, and I think that’s because I keep falling in love with the sport. I also love winning, which I’m guaranteeing this year.

Tea

My night cannot begin without boiling water and herbal tea. Before I let myself fall into a deep sleep, I have to prepare my nightly cup. It is a small routine, but it feels necessary. It marks the end of my day.

Most nights, I drink chamomile and lavender. Sometimes it is spearmint or jasmine. It really depends on the mood of the night and how the day went. Recently, I have been adding chlorophyll drops to my tea, turning it into a dark blue drink that feels like a mix of sweet dreams and detox.

On the nights when I cannot be bothered to heat water, I never sleep as well. Even if I am exhausted, skipping my tea makes the night feel unfinished. My body may be tired, but my mind does not settle in the same way.

I look forward to my bedtime tea every night. It is not just about the drink. It is about slowing down, being present, and giving myself a moment of calm before the day fully ends.

A Perfect Weekend

I had quite possibly the greatest Sunday any man has ever had before. I woke up at around 9:30 and ate some brunch, where I found Mr. P. He told me he needed help on the baseball field, so after I went to the gym, we pulled weeds for 30 minutes.

After this, Archer and his mom came to pick up Ray, Mike, and me to play a round of golf at Soule Park. Even though I don’t work there anymore, the employees gaveme free golf and half off our lunch.

While on the course, we had a ball. Though the golf lacked in quality, it made up for it in laughs. I ended up shooting a 39 on the front nine with a birdie on hole 4 and an eagle on hole 5. That was special.

Archer began to get upset and blasted his TikTok for you page on the speaker instead of our music. It was at this point that we gave up, took our shirts off, and went downhill from here.

I ended golf on hole 13 when it got too dark. Luckily, my good friend, Isaac Thrope, was at the course too and played hole 13 against me for 20 dollars. I, of course, won with a par, and he lost with a double bogey.

Ended with dinner at Zaidees and went back to upper for some line dancing with the Ventucky Stompers. What a day.
