sarameg's astronauts are kicking ass.
I hope Perkins gets a cowgurl and catches a thief.
I'm so wiped. Our little league game was exhausting. We were up 5-0, coughed up the lead, came back to tie it with the bottom of our order producing, almost gave up the lead again, hit a home run and won the game on a double play.
Emmett didn't have a great game, but he did help us get out of a jam in the bottom of the sixth to send it to extra innings. With no outs, and runners on second and third, he struck out a batter swinging. Then on a passed ball he covered the plate and tagged the runner out, and got spiked pretty good in the knee to stop the winning run.
He came out and Grady pitched. Had another passed ball and we got the third out on another play at the plate.
Top of the seventh, Dan hit a home run with his new birthday bat. Bottom of the seventh, Dan made a circus catch at short and doubled the runner off first to end the game.
Dan got the game ball.
I was so happy when we had a five run lead, and so bummed when we coughed it up, and so incredulous when we tied it and preserved it. I told Dan to hit the home run, though, so that wasn't surprising.
What should I have for dinner? Microwaved frozen pad thai? Sesame noodles made with flax seed spaghetti? Spaghetti with tomato sauce and soy balls? Leftover lentil and cauliflower curry? Throw together all the not-quite-mushy vegetables in my fridge with some tempeh and bottle thai yellow curry sauce?
So it would seem that the power in my whole building just went out.
You know, up until about noon, this was a pretty good day.
one of the curries. Use up what needs it most, frozen will stay good.
Just came back from getting a new motorcycle jacket. My old one gave up the ghost after 10 years and we are about to go on a week-long trip through some places with fairly extreme weather, so it was time. I did not succumb to the lure of the really bitching leather jacket I tried on and went with a practical and comfortable jacket, which was somewhat bitching itself. [link]
We got it for $140, which is even better!
Perkins, I think that';s a sign that you should go to the movies!
I think Scrappy's right.
Cool Jacket, Scrappy.
Hot day for baseball, david.
Okay, this virus won't quit me, and my mother won't quit hounding me with her "I'm a retired nurse, I know more than these automaton doctors do! It's swine flu! Go to the emergency room!"
Fuck if I'm going to sit in another doctors office or emergency room only to be sent home with a lollipop or actually have to argue with people better educated than I (my mother would beg to differ) that I should get whatever those two shots are that are still working. "But doctor, my mother says you're an idiot who cares for me less than my mechanic cares about my car, less than the clerk at 7-11 who rings up my coffee, so give me the shot, because I, via my mother, am smarter than you. kthx."
Ooh, I like that jacket, Scrappy.
My DH took the kids to give me a bit of time to get ready for a dept party tonight. It says something about me (and probably not something good) that I spent the first 20 minutes puttering about looking for paperwork that I need to fill out. Weirdo!
