04.12.2025 19:07 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Decided to go back to work (remote) today, and it has been a roller coaster. My temp keeps oscillating, stomach not doing great, and there are points where I feel terrible… but there are also points where I feel perfectly fine. Probably rushed it a bit, but here I am.

01.12.2025 02:27 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Should I let my mood be affected so much by the bathroom achievements of a potty-training toddler? Probably not. But today was a good potty day, so I might have a nice glass of celebratory wine tonight!

30.11.2025 21:07 — 👍 26 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0This is the argument I’ve been having with idiots over on FB who wanted Auburn to hire Durkin as the next HC. Dude headed a toxic program that resulted in the death of a kid. IMO, you don’t get to come back from that and head a program. Sorry!
30.11.2025 18:04 — 👍 13 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Looked back at some of my recent posts here and elsewhere and found a host of small typos. Just know that my excuse is that I’m currently potty training my son. So, my attention is maybe not 100% right now, as that peepee gun has a HAIR TRIGGER.

30.11.2025 16:36 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I mean Sumrall said he was making his decision today.
30.11.2025 14:08 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0He had just said he planned to make a decision today, so wasn’t sure if there was any kind of press conference scheduled or anything.

30.11.2025 13:53 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Good to know! But this was several years ago, and sadly I think that pen got lost two moves back.
30.11.2025 13:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Turns out dropping it on a concrete floor and having it land exactly on the tip of the nib is bad… who knew!

30.11.2025 04:29 — 👍 31 🔁 8 💬 0 📌 1Yea, I did, actually, but it started leaking after that, so I just put it away after that. Probably my fault (the initial damage was DEFINITELY my fault, lol).
30.11.2025 03:39 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I’d be down. I can drive to Auburn if needed.
30.11.2025 03:00 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I am so torn right now… On the one hand, I want to win because it’s the Iron Bowl. On the other, I want to lose SO BAD that there’s no chance they hire Durkin.
30.11.2025 02:57 — 👍 4 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Sorry. I don’t mean to crash out on main, but I went to Maryland during the Durkin fiasco!!! UGH!!!
30.11.2025 02:10 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Please, Auburn, do not hire Durkin. The world is fucked up enough, can I PLEASE have just ONE FUCKING THING THAT ISN’T TERRIBLE?!?! ONE THING?!! ONE?!?!?!
30.11.2025 02:09 — 👍 17 🔁 1 💬 4 📌 0Yes, BUT! It was an excuse to buy a new pen, lol.
