We have plenty to do this week. And, next week and the week after that.
Journey of Discovery is right around the Korner and we need to get ready. We already started with our review. I usually don’t like doing them until after I made the first video for it, but that puts so much on our plate right on release, that we’d rather do it a little at a time over the course of Spoiler Season.
What did we do today?
The usual Social Media posts, and this post as well. For last week.
Since we finished with the first sort of our MTG bulk, we’re going on to the yearly sort, and right after that set sort. Started with the 90’s . I actually fond 1 Unlimited card in there, but it was beat up a lot. It’s still exciting.
We listed the years 93 to some of 95, and we have to reach 2025.

Finished the 90’s. For Magic that is. 3 more decades to go. 2 and a half if you want to be exact.
And, that was how the whole day was spent.
I did take the wife and kids out for Soccer, cause that is what we do now. It also helps me get some exercise. I feel it every time I try and run at full force. Out of breath in two minutes, if I’m lucky. After that I just jog, and try and keep up with the little ones.
Got the kids ready for school, and we played 99 Nights in the Forest. We reached Day 52. We’re halfway there. I bought the Brawler class, and I am liking it so far. The only thing I don’t like is not being able to use ranged weapons. I rarely use them, but sometimes you just need to.

Still sorting and listing Magic. I only got through 2000. The year that is. 25 to go, and if I do at least a year a day, I should have them all done before Journey of Discovery comes out.
It was the kids’ last Soccer Practice today before the final tournament. They are all hyped. The coach had them play a Scrimmage match through out the whole practice. Which was good, they were all running around having fun. And, at that age that is what they should be doing.
I was too tired to do anything when I went home. I just had the kids do their homework, and that was it for all of us. They fell asleep quick, and then so did I.

Just focused on the MTG Bulk once again. We got to get through it, as quickly as possible.
Other than that, slowly getting ready for Journey of Discovery. It’s coming sooner than you all think. And, so far these cards are looking great. Lot’s of fun stuff to play.
Got orders ready to ship, and played 99 Nights in the Forest with the kids.
That was about it for today.

It’s going to be all about Magic Bulk again. Finished listing the 2000s. And started sorting the 10s. These were the most in the whole bulk lot I got, and I figured they will probably just take all day. And, I was right. I didn’t even get a chance to finish, when I had to leave to go to the Fall Fest at the kids school.
It wasn’t too bad, the pizza was decent, and the mac and cheese needed salt. Yeah, I’m not too big on public events. I did see a couple of friends there and that was about it.
Went home, played 99 Nights in the Forest, and put the kids to sleep because tomorrow was their tournament.

It’s today, the tournament we’ve been waiting for all year.
We got up early, and off we went.
We lost both games and didn’t make it to the Play Offs. My kids forgot to turn it on today. They both seemed out of it, but they did have fun, there was a whole party for everyone involved with AYSO. Free Food, and drinks! Can’t say no to that.
The rest of the day was off. It started when I went to get things for the restaurant and I forgot the card at home. That’s always smart.
I just had to get through the rest of the day, my eyes were burning, my brain was fried, I was just ready to go home and close my eyes.

Finished up sorting the 10s today. And, it’s giving me a headache. All the cards from 2009-2014. Why? Because of how they printed the year. I thought this whole time it was cause my eyes were going bad. Turns out it’s not my eyes, cause even with my glasses on I can barely see the year. Especially with Red cards. Those are just terrible, I have to look at the set symbol to figure it out.
Started listing them as well.
Had to do some running around. Got orders ready to be shipped.
I tried to go play some Soccer with my kids, but one of them was sick, so we scratched that idea, and played 99 Nights in the Forest.
I’ve been looking online at it, and I’ve noticed that a lot of parents are playing this game with their kids. I can’t blame them, it’s a fun game. Probably the best Roblox game out there. And I’ve played a few that my kids say are good games, but they aren’t.
This is where it’s at.

Decided to go see the Chicago Fire for their Wild Card match on Wednesday. Picked up some tickets, but we still haven’t told the kids about it yet. It’ll be a nice surprise for them. I told them we’ll go to a game this year, and this might be our last chance, so we’re going.

The kids had Soccer Practice today. Picked them up from school, and we headed straight over there. The Coach said if anyone scores a goal from the other side of the field, all of the coaches will run a lap around the field. Guess who put it in? Yep, my kid. My kid had the coaches running.
Had a whole bunch of Bulk come in today. 13,500 MTG cards. And, now they all need to be sorted. I usually do it in few stages. First I sort by Decade, then Year, then Set, then Alphabetically. I got through about 4,500 today. Then I ran out of time and had to go get the little ones from school.
