So today has been quite a roller coaster. This morning, right before I was going to drag myself to work, I was called by a cop. He was calling to tell me that my car had been broken into over the night. I went down to talk to him and report what was stolen. (I am now without my beloved MP3 player) After talking to him, I went back upstairs to start making calls. I talked to my mom and arranged for her to pick me up so that I could use the extra car temporarily (we don’t have an extra car, my dad is just out of town). I called the office to tell them that I would be in much later, then I got to call my car insurance company (OH JOY!). I need to arrange a time to have a glass repair person come and fix the window. (The bastards broke the driver side too, so I can’t even man up and try to drive it to get it fixed) Needless to say, this morning sucked… I didn’t get into work until 2, an all time late for me and one that I hope to not repeat. Oddly enough, I was incredibly productive in the 4 hours I was there working and am almost done and ready to push this stuff out to the company we are integrating with (that is probably all I can say, maybe too much, but I don’t think many people actually read this). That is the end of the low part of the roller coaster.
After work, I was supposed to go play indoor ultimate for the new fall league. I had joined a team of kind of free agents who all were interested and we all just kind of played it like pick up. I hadn’t played in two months (mostly since I had only gotten my good glasses a week or so ago and did not want to try playing with shit ass eyesight) and was surprisingly good. I was throwing well and moving well. I feel really good about that and am looking forward to the fall league a lot more than the summer league, where I basically warmed the bench and felt like showing up was a waste of time. I also got to see that Adam Wainwright was pitching a 1 run 3 hit gem through the 8th inning and my beloved Cardinals had a 2-1 lead going into the ninth. The closer, Ryan Franklin, comes in and gets two solid outs, one out away… Matt Holliday drops a fly ball, basically losing the final out, and then Franklin lets the game go to hell, a horrid 3-2 hell where we lost the two games with the front running Cy Young candidates starting. This is going to take an amazing turn around for us to move on… (this whole end part is kind of a downer and was added randomly)
