On this day in 2020 Sammy came into our lives. He is my light, my angel, my reason for waking up in the morning. I love him more than anything. 💗🐈😽

#LearnedLeague #LL110 has come to a close. Somehow I came in second and I'm already getting butterflies in my stomach about getting promoted into Rundle A.
It's been a fun season & I am grateful for the friends I am making in the trivia world. (I'm pretty reclusive in the "real world" so...yeah) 💙

Can't believe I missed that Petra clue in MD7. It's gotta be a Pavlov that ancient city + Jordan = Petra. Cost me the match. Went from 5th to 2nd, now back in 5th (which is still not bad). I think when I sit down to play I need to breathe and focus and stay in the moment. 🧘🏼♀️ #LearnedLeague #LL110

I've failed to mention the beginning of #LearnedLeague #LL110. Apologies, but it's just been a tiring week. All in all, as of MD4, not doing so bad. Even had my first beer already and currently sitting in 5th place. 🦙

Well, that's another match I lost to an opponent's beer. I went 4(4)-9(6) in MD10. That makes 6 out of 7 losses to beers. I did manage to pull off a win on Friday's match...of course, my opponent forfeited. 🤷♀️
I have to honestly say, I feel like I'm drowning this season. #LL109 #LearnedLeague

I feel like everyone in my Rundle are getting beers but me. Out of the 5 matches I've lost this season so far, 4 opponents have beer'd. I guess I need to stop obsessing so much over the defense and actually learn some things. 😞 #LearnedLeague #LL109 🤯

Will I be spending all of #LearnedLeague #LL109 in the demotion zone? One wonders... It feels like a repeat of last season. 😞

Watching Taotao, Patrick, and now Greg the "Giant Killer" put up amazing performances against Jamie Ding on #Jeopardy makes me miss #PARTrivia and how it used be more than the ghost town it is now. Taotao had a great thing going on with that site. I wish some of the old features would return. 🏆

I'm a couple days late, but I can't believe I got another (actual!) beer on MD21 of #LearnedLeague. 🍻 I know I haven't been posting much about #LL108. Just so much stress going on, I'm feeling overwhelmed and social media is no place I want to be when I feel this way.

Introducing this little man into our home. His name is Homer, but he's a real "romeo". 😽 (We are fostering him until next week. Once he has a needed dental procedure done, then we can go through adoption proceedings.)

I mean, I was very happy with myself to get my first beer in a couple seasons of #LearnedLeague for MD14. I had a tiring day yesterday. But my opponent forfeited the match anyway.
