*hugs* I’m sorry that you’re still feeling bad, but happy for you that it’s at least a sign of healing (if that makes sense?). Even if it sucks spectacularly in the meantime. I’m glad that your meeting with your boss went well, at least. Also, I’m sorry you’ve had even more troubles with your game.

I’m loving the new mobile header (or whatever the proper term is), it makes me laugh every time I check your blog (it was my day off, so I spent a lot of time dicking around on random tumblrs). Screeching incoherently over the prequel, and preview of same. Like, genuinely, ridiculously excited to read it whenever you decide to publish it. I’ve been wondering how Peter and Noah first met almost from the word go, become more intrigued by the story of the garden gnomes with every hint dropped, can’t wait to see the full squad in action (the sweetness…the sass…the shenanigans…), and look forward to plenty of Hale family feels (omg, will the Jurassic Park version 1 happen?!).

Since I don’t currently know what else happens in the scene that was the previous preview, I chose to temporarily make my own scene end of having Noah take Peter somewhere to actually get dressed (bedroom, bathroom, whatever), and then just pulling him close and holding him for a bit and letting Peter just bury his face in his neck and scent him for a while until he feels a bit more grounded and able to pull himself together (wasn’t sure where Chris was to know if he’d join in or not), and then just kept using that mental image as my Moment of Zen for the day. (It wasn’t necessarily a bad day, just a day of lots of tiny annoyances that kept piling up.)

Also, while trying to motivate myself to actually do some cooking, I started drawing up a mental playlist that they put on when Chris is cooking and at least one of them is home (and probably most of the kids aren’t), whether Chris likes it or not. Thought I’d share, and very much welcome other recommendations if you have any:

Chewy, Chewy - Ohio Express

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - Ohio Express

Sweeter Than Sugar - Ohio Express

Nothing Sweeter Than My Baby - Ohio Express (yeah, I realize they’re on here 4 times, but the songs are stupidly catchy and on theme)

Sugar, Sugar - The Archies

Kitchen Man - Bessie Smith

Hey Good Lookin’ - Hank Williams

Sugar - Maroon 5

Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard

I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) - The Four Tops

Honey - Mariah Carey

Candyman - Christina Aguilara

Cherry Pie - Warrant

Candy Shop - 50 Cent (Peter sticks this one on there just to watch Chris blush when it randomly pops up)

Bonus Cute Thought (because it literally just occurred to me): Who all serenades who with “Dear Future Husband” once they are officially planning the wedding? Is it pre-planned and involve choreography of any kind, or is it spontaneous because it randomly came on the radio?

Anyway, I’ll leave off on that (hopefully) amusing thought (look at me keeping it relatively short again! Should I be proud of that? I can’t actually decide…). Hope the rest of the week, such as it is, improves, and each day is at least a little bit better than the one before. Hugs to you and cuddles to Mo!

Yeah, the last two days were heavy and today was a good day where I held out for 8,5 hours in the line but I’m completely exhausted and didn’t get much else done. Sill, I showed my best side and tried very hard and I hope my boss sees that. If only to score some brownie points before I let them fire me in September.

So I’m gonna keep my replies relatively short, but I will definitely add all of these to my; listen to playlist. (Dear future Husband was immediately added to the fic playlist XD because yes.)

I’ll post a preview of what I have so far, don’t know if I’ll keep it in that wording because I was really tired when I wrote it, but it’ll show intent I think. Because yes, it’s gonna be very emotionally heavy but hopefully hopeful.

And I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the prequel preview! It’s gonna be my camp July project. So I’m very excited to share ^^ (And shhh, but yeah, it’ll happen. It’s got too XD)

#586 De Bruyne brilliance and solid Belgium defense knock out SAMBA boys; Varane header and silly error by Uruguay keeper hand France another chance at world cup glory; All SF teams would be from Europe; Hales pulls England back to level the T20 series; 8 of 10 top seeds in ladies draw knocked out in Wimbledon; Serena, Kerber and Halep are favorites now in ladies; Venus knocked in 3 set thriller; Federer, Isner, Anderson and Monfils cruise; Zverev comes back to win in 5 sets; Cilic knocked out in 5 sets after leading by 2 sets and more...:-)

Cilic became biggest upset in Wimbledon 2018. After leading by 2 sets, he lost to Pella in 5 sets. That’s huge disappointment for Cilic who has played in 2 slam finals in last 1 year. Federer’s half of the draw has opened up even further. Anderson is the biggest name in that draw. Sam Querrey who reached SF last year was knocked out by Monfils in 4 sets. Zverev was trailing by 1-2 sets against Fritz when bad light stopped play. When play resumed on Friday, he rolled past Fritz to win in 5 sets. In ladies, Keys became the latest top 10 player to be knocked out. She lost in 3 sets to Rodina. Venus Williams was down by a set and 1-3 against Bertens. But came back to level the match and go ahead 2-0 in 3rd set. Bertens came back to the level the set at 4-4. Bertens eventually won 8-6. Pliskova won in 2 tough sets. Only Pliskova and Halep are left in the draw in womens’s top ten players. Serena was also trailing 3-5 in first set. She won 4 games in a row against Mladenovic to win the first set. Serena, Kerber and Halep are favorites now to win Wimbledon this year. Federer, Isner, Raonic and Anderson stormed to 4th round with easy wins.

France faced Uruguay in Fifa world 2018 first QF. Mbppe who was star against Argentina found it to tough to penetrate Uruguay defense. It was much more solid. France realized that they would find it tough to get goal through set piece due to Uruguay defence. France didn’t have goal on target til 40th minute. That’s when Varane gave France the lead with a beautiful header of a free kick. Uruguay could have levelled 2 minutes before break but France goalie made a brilliant save diving full length. In 2nd half, Uruguay showed more intent but hardly got any chance. In 61st minute, Griezmann hit a free kick directly at Muslera , the Uruguayan goalie. Bowl curled a bit. Muslera couldn’t grab the ball fully. It bounced back to the net. That was a horror mistake. Post that Uruguay were not in the game. They looked devastated. France was better team. 2 errors by Uruguay cost them dear. They had just conceded 1 goal prior to this match. Cavani was missed dearly.

In 2nd QF, Belgium looked solid from the word go. Brazil had conceded just one goal in their past four games in Russia but were behind early when Nacer Chadli's corner struck Fernandinho's arm and flew into the net, the 10th own goal of this World Cup. Fernandinho's Manchester City team-mate Kevin de Bruyne doubled Belgium's lead with a sublime arrowed finish from 20 yards after Romelu Lukaku's powerful run. That set the tone. Brazil bounced back in 2nd half with more purpose behind each move. They reduced lead to 1 when Augusto scored for Brazil. They had few other chances too but Belgium defense held firm. Belgium produced a brilliant performance to knock five-time winners Brazil out of the World Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1986. Roberto Martinez's side turned on the style in Kazan to clock up their fifth straight win of the tournament and ensure the semi-finals will be contested by four European sides for the first time since 2006.

In 2nd T20, England put India in. Pitch had bit more juice in it. Plunkett and Ball bowled brilliantly to reduce India to 22-3 in 5th over. Raina and Kohli then steadied Indian innings. They had 57 run stand before Raina was stumped by Rashid. Dhoni came and took some time to get going. India were 111-4 by 17 overs. India needed 45 runs more to give a fighting total. Kohli got out immediately for a well-made 47. Dhoni and Hardik pushed hard to set England a target of 149. It looked 15 runs short. Umesh Yadav was in his zone again. He dismissed Butler and Roy early to reduce England to 33-2. It soon became 44-3 when Chahal castled Root. Hales and Morgan then steadied England innings with some good counter attack. Bairstow later supported Hales who was batting brilliantly. England needed 39 of last 4 overs. Kuldeep gave away 16 of 16th over which turned the match England’s way. Umesh and Yadav bowled 2 good overs. It came down to last over when England needed 12. Hales hit a six and a four of first 2 balls of Bhuvi’s over which sealed a win for England. India had their chances when England were 44-3 but allowed England to bounce back. Final T20 would be played on Sunday. England played spinners better today. It’s a long tour. India would get more pitches like this in upcoming matches rather than dry pitch in Manchester. In today’s match, India missed Bumrah. It could have been more close had he been around.
