Gee whiz I'm tired

Played some pickup broomball against a really good team. I had to carry all my teams extra equipment on my back in a duffle on my bicycle. I'm hardcore. It just is.

Happy Birthday Man in Black. That was actually a good movie. Joaquin and Reese actually did their own singing for their portrayals which is the part I found truly amazing. A really good soundtrack. He's my only county man.

Friday was good dinner at the Chatterbox. First time I've been back there since the fateful night I broke up with S. Felt good. Like vindication/reclamation. I was there first. Since before the current owners back when it was a nasty little dive (vs. the current mod/retro dive with excellant food choices). Also caught a movie with my mom. It was her birthday. I bought her ticket. The afternoon was... hmmm... calm with an undercurrent of irratation on my side. She comes over while I'm in my jammies and wants to go OTL. So I race around to get dressed, secure the dogs, etc and she's what? Playing video games and we never leave. So no food. I was starving by the time we got to the theatre making me break down and eat nachos. I've been trying to be so good too. It happens.

Time to get ready to see my Sunday night str8 peeps and then off to work.

I'm tired and up far too late.
My dad is sick with what I had over the weekend, except he's a really crabby sick person, which is bothersome since I tried to be so nice. Grrr.
Sushi is delish. NFI.

Winter Sporting

I had the flu yesterday and threw up all morning but went to work last night anyways. I'm that hardcore! Well today was our last official broomball game. Rescheduled during this frigid weekend after being cancelled three weeks ago due to thin ice during a nice weekend. SO that's what's been hogging up my weekends for the past six weeks. Now just pickup games on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons as long as the ice lasts.

Work is hectic as usual, contract negotiations are in mediation and finally about to go to arbitration so that's freeing up some time. And now I'm on the Labor Management committee. So more of dealing with the same people I've been arguing with for four months, but I have to let that go and just be a team player. We'll see how that goes. So now technically I'm reduced to two mandatory monthly meetings with 2-3 others scheduled in there.

Oh, and I'm teaching a class for two days coming up and then taking one of those students under my wing in a coaching phase for a month.

And increasing my weekly biking mileage in preperation for the Ironman Bike Ride in April.
In addition to having a mini-crush on someone new and trying to hang out with her.
All in all, life is good.
