Author's personal notes: Sorry, I did ended up publishing it so instantly out of nowhere as a "Huge" mistake where I actually did typed it out as a second chapter of the Mel's TMI post series since I am feeling genuinely really tired from the lack of sleep as well as experiencing the caffeine hangover very late at night a hot cup of Spanish latte I had taken it from yesterday afternoon so i do truthfully apologize for the mistake I made publishing it earlier as a "A Mel TMI Post- Part 2/ Chapter 2" On my personal blog here so please forgive me for the mistake I had actually made for this particular blog post on my personal blog here since I had been experiencing the caffeine buzz effect from last night; everyone so I am genuinely sorry for that: everyone.
Anyway, here is a republished version of it however if there are either any mistakes to be corrected or if anyone does have any details you do actually remember it correctly then please do truthfully let me know; everyone!
Also, remind me again never to drink a cup of coffee in the afternoon especially when you are not driving unless if you do actually have both an actual drivers license and also if you can generally drive well both essentially and recreationally in your very own every day life.
Plus I also need to get a brand new Macbook Pro laptop with 64GB storage wise since my current 2019 Macbook Pro is aging unexpectedly but neither as a fine wine nor it is aging as an aged milk but more so it is about to take it's own life to be honest slowly but surely while the countdown clock is actually ticking down; everyone.
So i am very sorry about that particular mistake I didn't meant to truthfully made it as an instant mistake on my personal blog so I am genuinely sorry about doing that particular mistake, everyone!
More details to come but it's better to let it wait until when I am feeling genuinely recovered in a better mode and yet I am also not being irritated by my very own estranged birth family member and parent especially by my own estranged birth mother whom she'll always do anything to annoy and irritate me no matter how old we both are biologically and I know she is an old woman biologically old wise to be honest but sometimes I do always think about how she at certain times does discreetly give me a "toxic boy mom" vibes on an equally yet a realistically personal note in my own opinion that is.
Anyway, here is the reposted version of Liatu King's professional basketball timeline where it all started back when she had been finished all of her remaining years of eligibility from her university and college years from both the University of Pittsburgh and also from the Notre Dame University where she get to play her final year of her remaining eligibility at the Notre Dame where it makes me feeling so sad thinking about how they lost the championship as I do potentially they might have won the championship back in 2024-2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship in my own opinion but it is what it is; everyone.
Also, there are more to come in the way however I may have to genuinely take a step back for now and in the meantime: I'll see you all on the other side; everyone: good luck and take great care of yourself too as well: okay? Peace, cheers and kanpai!
