Prepping For El Clasico & Boss Babies

I’ve been focusing on letter writing to get out the vote for the midterm elections so that’s definitely cut down on my Real Madrid time. I did get to watch the Champions League match (while still writing) but it’s been hit or miss otherwise for the past few weeks.  But El Clasico is upon us and I’ve just posted my final bunch of letters so I’m taking a break from freaking out about the fuckery in my country to focus on freaking out about El Clasico.

Friday Double Session

The team had completed their third double training session of the week today.

While I feel that all the upheaval will ultimately be beneficial, it doesn’t make the process any easier. So when my team has been going through similar changes, it has been very difficult for me to write about.

It’s Time For International Duty

Catching Up With The Guys In LA

Lots of stuff has happened in the past 5 days. Sese has joined the gang, there has been birthdays and visitors and lots and lots of training. Here’s a brief recap (and hopefully my life will slow down a bit this week so that I can keep up easier.
