Today as always is get ready for this week. First things first, finish up the week in review, and Card of the Days for Instagram and Facebook.
Next we have a release this week. Actually a few releases. We have the 2025 Starter Sets Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Plus there are a bunch of sleeves that are coming out this week. Called up my distributor, and they said that the Starters still didn’t arrive yet, but they arrived at a few of their other locations, so they should be showing up any day now. We’ll just take care of all that tomorrow.
I wish that was all for Monday, but it’s not.
My Jeep broke down on my way home. That wasted a couple of hours waiting for Triple A to show up. I asked for a tow, and they sent someone to check my battery. Go. figure. The car started up again, and I drove the rest of the way, slowly. I had the Triple A guy follow me, cause I didn’t want to get stranded again. Parked the car and now I got to figure out the warranty and what it covers. And, then I need to find a place to take it to.

The last part of this month has been slow. Orders just trickled in. We can’t have that. So what do we do? We buy more Bulk. Well we’re always buying bulk, but now it seems like we ran out of cards. I’ll leave a reminder here that we will buy your bulk that you don’t want. $10 per 1,000 cards
Called my distributor early, and the Starter Sets are at their warehouse. Along with some Card Sleeves that I forgot all about! Sounds like a good way to kick it into high gear again.
I was pretending to be an electrician tonight. If you remember, I was trying to install a ceiling fan last week and kept tripping the breaker. This time I turned it off before hand, this way I can’t trip it. It was easier than I thought it would be. So, if you need an Electrician, for something simple, give is a call. We’re Electrifying!
Installed some more lights in the Kitchen and called it a night.

Waiting on UPS.
Still Waiting.
It’s getting late now, let me check the tracking. It never left the warehouse. And, I was planning on doing the Unboxing tonight. Guess we’ll have to leave that for tomorrow.
Soccer Practice at night, but now they started Greek Dance and it’s on Wednesdays, that means we got to rush straight from the School to the soccer fields.

Our Starter Sets arrived today, we started getting everyone’s orders together and sending them out. Also got a bunch of sleeves in, check them out if you haven’t already.
It was one of our daughters birthday today, so we had a small party at the house.
What’s left?
Time to make a video, we checked out the Starter Sets, that is on YouTube if you want to check it out.

Spoiler Season is here, and that means that we’re going to be getting ready for Journey of Discovery. That means we’re going to start working on our opinion articles on the set, and since the Starter Sets are already out, we will be getting those done first. Expect those to drop sometime next week.
Worked on some listings today. From both Starter Sets they are both on TCG Player and eBay. And, I’ve go to say those went fast.

It’s game day, we got a couple more games to go before the tournament starts on October 18th.
I’ve got to say these kids make me proud, my son plays his heart out, and my daughter needs a little push, but she tries. We lost 2-1 today. It’s the first time we’ve scored a goal in a couple of weeks. Needless to say, my son scored the goal, off a Free Kick, from behind the half line. It was probably 30 yards away from the goal, but at his age that is pretty far. Sure, it might have been cause the other goalie wasn’t the greatest. But the ball went in. Even though it stopped rolling once it passed the line.
The coach has him doing all of the Free Kicks, Goal Kicks Corners, they are all on him now.
My daughter on the other hand, she is a bit reserved. She’s a little scared to get into it with the other kids, but she was hustling. I did tell her that if she tried I would get them a some Italian Ice after. I think that did the trick for her. She started chasing the ball down. She likes cats, so I told her to be a tiger on the field. She made some stops. And, she was trying to stay focused, she gets easily distracted and likes to day dream.

Early morning at the restaurant, and everyone was late today. And, of course that’s when everybody decides they want some Gyros. They all came in, and I had to take care of the rush. Luckily it only lasted an hour.
Got home, and I told my son that we will be going out to practice soccer everyday. He was trying to do a bicycle kick. He nearly has it. We started working on his foot work, that’s probably what he needs the most. But it’s mostly about having fun, so we don’t really focus on drills or anything, maybe I’ll show him something and we’ll do it for 5 minutes. After that it’s all fun and games. Sometimes he wants to be the goalie, he enjoys that when I shoot it at him.
Took care of all of the Weekends orders. And, now it’s time to get ready for the upcoming week.
