Sometimes the only daily communication I get from my very busy husband (he’s the chair o of the English Department at Wichita State University) is his WORDLE score sent to our group chat of dedicated WORDLE players which includes me, Fran, my daughter annalivia, and my older sister Heather).

I’m competitive so I love when I “beat” him, but he always reminds me, “It’s not a competition.” Sure. Ok. Ha ha.

I’ve been thinking of writing short short stories based on my WORDLE boards. I’ve also thought about all the 5 letter words I could use to describe myself. It’s a fun and creative exercise.

HONOR
TRUTH
TREAT
TRACK
VALID
CLEAR
SHARE
GOALS
NEEDY
ALONE
FEARS
FUNNY
BRAVE
ARTSY
SORRY
FORCE
GIFTS
WORRY
TOUGH
MOVES
ALIVE

LEVEL 50!

So I just updated my bio this weekend!

“Leah is an extremely active Pokémon Go player who achieved Level 40 status on December 21, 2017 and Level 50 on January 27, 2023.”

Yes, I really do love this game and my dedication hasn’t wavered since Day 1 (July 11, 2016). In fact, it’s only grown in intensity to fill voids and to keep me active with pleasant surprises and a sense of accomplishment. During a particularly challenging time from 2020-2022 it was literally a lifeline.

My husband jokes we’d get divorced if this app were to be discontinued. That’s a testament to just how much we both enjoy playing and sharing the game together.

My attraction to Pokémon Go is also indicative of what type of person I am.

Motivated by goals and completing tasks
Enjoys walking and running
Appreciates learning about important monuments, historic plaques, museums, and architecture
Loves exploring nature and new neighborhoods
Thrives in competitive environments
Researches options thoroughly and digs into the data to optimize results

The degree to which I’ve upped my game (pun intended) demonstrates my ability to manage multiple challenges (I’ve got 15 trainer accounts), stay focused, and meet deadlines. Who wouldn’t want to friend or to hire someone like that? :)
