I had quite probably my best game of indoor slo-pitch tonight and we almost won, coming up just a little short at 11-9.

I fixed my problem with Cities: Skylines!

I got an email, looking for permit players for tonight, so I forwarded it to the soccer team.

I finally got out a screwdriver and took the sharp piece of metal off the door where the indoor handle used to be, on the screen door.

Blog Question Of The Day

Is my struggle with getting my mastery of physical acts back one of those things that will only come back slowly, in little bits at a time, as I practice and work on it diligently on a regular basis?

Would all of these things I'm trying to bring back into expert command come back faster if I wasn't battling daily with pain issues?

When I realized I'd forgotten my morning pills, after a few moments indecision, I went home and got them.

While at home I noticed my steps had ice on them so I put out some ice-melt.

While waiting for my bagel to toast, I added pop to the staff fridge.

For not other reason than, the machine was done, I took the dishes out of the dishwasher.

Though I intensely dislike the chore, and had the option of procrastinating on it until tomorrow, I put away all the laundry that I'd finished.

The Daily Affirmation

I know we lost the game 6-0.  But I felt such a sense of gratitude to see us get a decent bench, with 10 runners come out to a game in prime time on Valentine's Day.  Then to have a guy who'd never even work goalie pads before, step up to play net for us, and the rest of the team rally around him, to limit shots and help him not get shelled.  We showed very little offensive push tonight, but our level of effort playing defence was outstanding, and it re-affirmed my faith in this team.

It was a lot of fun to play ball hockey and completely dominate the other team, resulting in a comfortable 5-2 win.  I didn't make any all-star teams based on my play last night, but I was solid, dependent and competent.  I felt good about the whole game.
