Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday, and as with the last few years, I'm still amazing to be this age. Not to be too dark, but there was a long while in my youth where I was convinced I would die before I was 30, but here I am. I've finally been able to spend a full year stable, starting to slowly piece my life together, and be at peace with how this life is going.

Anyway, this year we're going out of town to see my favorite baseball team play, and I'm very excited. It's been a long while since I've gotten to do something like this and actually be able to afford something neat. I'll also have the chance to see an Alphonse Mucha exhibit in person. He's an artist I greatly admire, and I'm hoping to bring along a small sketchbook with me. There's a few more museums to check out as well. I'm going to be absolute exhausted after, but it'll be fun to go and see so much after feeling so stagnant for a long while.

I've gotten really into baseball this season, to the surprise of many who know me. It's been fun watching game highlights every morning, and listening to commentary about the players and teams. Actually, pretty excited to see Colt Emerson play as the newest drafted to one of my teams this week. Humping has been banned, there's been a lot of big change ups, and it feels like there's some new first in baseball every week. It's been something easy to cling to while my other hobbies feel like too much work.

But hey, it's about to be summer. The sun is starting to shine, butterflies are hatching, and I'm seeing so many turtles when I go on walks. I'm getting treatment for my knee condition, my therapist has been helpful. I'll keep trying to look at the good things in life.
