Bag of Randomness for Wednesday, March 29, 2023

  • DaughterGeeding is having a fantastic week. I bet it’s one she’ll remember the rest of her night. Not only will she be attending the Taylor Swift concert in just three more days, but she had the best softball game of her life. Remember, she a seventh-grader who attends a small charter school, so she plays with and against high schoolers. Yesterday, very unexpectedly, the coach moved her from right field to starting at second base. You may recall she played last year, but she never got on base. Well, yesterday she not only got her first hit (ever) she even got an RBI. It was a solid hit, too. The ball went about 10-feet in the air and landed in that pocket between the short stop and left fielder. She also fielded exceptionally well. The ball was thrown to her several times for the last out of two innings and she threw a runner out. I’m just so happy for her. What a confidence builder. I don’t know why her mother couldn’t make the game, and wanted to provide her updates, but she doesn’t want that kind of relationship. But I’m happy I was there to see her very first hit and her first game playing infield.
  • BoyGeeding also had a soccer game yesterday. He had a good game, it was their first non-loss of the season. His team has been losing by five or more goals, but this game was tied one to one.
  • 68% of people said virtual mental health appointments enabled them to seek therapy when they didn’t have the time or resources to meet in person.
  • I would like to open up more and talk about my personal mental health problems, but y’all know how my own blog was used against me in court. So, the most I can say is that after making some progress, I’ve had a setback. Of course, upcoming back surgery doesn’t help my confidence. It’s hard to go through something like this alone. I’m scared, to be honest. I think I’m most worried about the recovery aspect and the coordination of events, like getting to and from there and my possession schedule with the kids. The ex has told me not to ask her for any help, so there’s that stress as well.
