Blue Jays in ALCS :(

The Blue Jays lost the first game of the series to Seattle, 3-1, and as I'm writing this, they're down 10-3 in the bottom of the 7th in game 2. To say the start of the series has been a disaster would be putting it aptly. But this is also what they did in the ALCS the last two times they played, in 2015 and 2016. Went in with great expectations, came out of the second game down 0-2. Here we go again. Maybe they'll win a game or two, maybe not. They're very unlikely to win the series. The last time they had real and sustained success in the playoffs, I was twelve years old. I'm forty-four years old. Baseball will break your heart.

I'm writing this instead of really watching the game - helps the blood pressure? - and I'm planning my trip to work tomorrow. My ride isn't feeling well, so I have to take the bus. And the transit system has just rejigged its entire system of routes over the summer. Two buses to get to work. ~60 minutes, plus maybe another 15-20 minutes of walking.

I sprained my ankle a couple of weeks ago. I can walk on it, but it hurts. I can't work from home because guidance from the powers above is that everyone has to be in office at least three days a week.

I don't want to go to work. I don't want to do much. A lot of the stuff that used to give me joy has felt repetitive. I don't know if it's a mild case of depression, or if it's something like a midlife crisis.

I guess I'm trying to say, I'm straight up not feeling good right now.
