Another World Cup has come and gone. *sigh*

On the bright side, it was a corker of a tournament, and my beloved Germany won.

On the also rather bright side, I woke up this morning astonishingly early (given how late I was awake and about last night) with a ridiculous energy level. I’m having a very productive morning. Paradoxically, productive mornings only ever add to my to-do list, as I have a million and one ideas on days like this.

On the less bright side… there is no football. Aside from pre-season training matches. When does the Bundesliga start again? August 23? Serie A? August 31? You want me to wait until the end of August*?? But that’s forever! /inner 5 year old

*Yes, I know there will be football before then. Napoli will be playing a friendly against Barca in early August, and Eintracht play Sampdoria. The Coppa Italia and DFB Pokal both start in mid-August. And yes, if I’m truly bored on the football front, I could try harder to take MLS seriously.
