ION, in her second to last game of the season (where her team is winless), Matilda hit a home run! Drilled it over the centerfielder's head. The other team's coach inquired if she would be interested in a summer tournament team, but she can't because she's working all summer.
It's been frustrating for her this year because all of her teammates missed two years of games, practice and development and the pitching especially has been walking so many players they lose just on that. (Though the senior pitchers have put in much extra practice on their own, but there's only so much you can do after two years of nothing.)
Anyway, as a Sophomore she's already in a position of leadership on the team. But unfortunately most of her teammates are graduating Seniors so they'll have to start anew next year, and might have trouble getting 9 girls who will play. Hopefully we get a good crop of Freshman who played in Middle School (as Matilda did).
Yay Matilda! But that does sound annoying.
Work is making me crazy today. It was already a lot but then (a) someone didn’t tel me important info and now o have a shit ton of paperwork to do to explain why we didn’t do things the way we were supposed to because I didn’t know we had to do it that way, and (b) some peoples emails just aren’t showing up for me. Not in spam, just…never coming through. Important emails. Wtf.
(Add in that I didn’t get enough sleep and that this country seems to be going to hell in a handmaid’s basket, and I am really feeling like screaming and like the massage I’m signed up for later is not going to be as helpful as I need!)
sj, my heart is with you. I agree that quiet time is a blessing during times like these. Lightness of heart be available when you are ready.
The world is awful, but I'm still going to ask for ~ma and vibes for best possible outcomes.
I just came from the property manager's office and she offered to let me out of the lease with 30 days notice and one month's rent. She _could_ not charge me at all, but I'm just glad for the chance to be free. I've already spent so much on trying to make this work already.
AND, I just found out two days ago that there will be a high-rise building going up...you guessed it...RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET...starting in July.
The property manager says nobody knew. The neighborhood civic association says that is bull. I don't have the energy to fight it yet again.
But, this means I am back to square one, with a lower credit rating (based on the many thousands I spent already) and no idea where to go.
And, along with the ego death of buying a cellphone I am thinking of figuring out how to have a car now. So much change.
Is fb down for anyone else?
Up for me, but not in Chrome--it's been stubbornly refusing to function on that platform for at least the last week.
It's working for me in Chrome on a Mac.
Also, in Chrome on my Android. (Still feel so weird to say that.)
I have missed a lot, but
Epic- I am giving you lots of `ma
sj- I am so sorry for your loss, and so glad you got to be there (if that is what you wanted.)
askye- many vibes
beekaytee- that seems like possibly the best possible result, but it still sucks.
Anyone I missed, I am so sorry- I am sending out vibes for all.
