Happy Summer!!!
Happy first day of summer!It's hot and I love it.
It's been a long weekend, starting with Thursday night. I am a freak, let me just start there. Next, take into consideration that I don't trust suitors easily, if ever at all. Last, remember that I was under massive stress and getting my monthly reminder that I am in fact a woman last week, ok?
So my intuition was driving me crazy all day long. I was going nuts. I don't know one way or the other if it was valid or not, but either way the boy and I have no responsibility to the other aside from notifying prior to sex with someone else. That's it. Intuition has no right to be going crazy. I'm not sure if it was and was valid, or if I was just picking something else to focus and stress on but either way I freaked a little. I got myself all sort of upset and backed out of going out with the boy and told him I didn't know if I could do this. That upset him (which in a very sick way I think is a good thing because it shows that he at least places some value on the whatever-it-is that we have).
He came over anyway and I talked to him, explained as well as I was able what was going on in my head and apologized for being a freak. He accepted and seemed to understand and it was good. Then I got laid and it was very good.
Friday I got up super early and worked with Mom for 1 1/2-2 hours before she had to leave for class. Then I ran errands, including going to Kinko's with the schedule and concluding with picking up my Dad from the body shop. A week or two ago he and my Mom were hit in his new car and it's being fixed this week. We left around lunch time and made it there 3-4 hours later. Checked in and went to the liquor store. On the way home we called the tournament directors and detoured to the fields because one of them needed to "be looked at".
Hmmm. Not a good sound to that.
We got there and it was maybe, possibly, half the size of a regulation field. It was bordered by a 3' gravel and rock ditch, and one side of the field was lined with telephone poles which held wire that was maybe 8' off the ground. The girls throw and catch the ball in the air. The sticks are ~3', and a large majority of the players are over 5' tall, so you do the math.
Needless to say we vetoed the field and then spent the next few hours evaluating the entire site and planning where to place the missing field.
Saturday I got up around 530, went to the field and was working, either in the tent or on the field from the time I got there (around 7-715am) until all the games were done ~730pm. Got back to the hotel, showered and down to the hotel restaurant for dinner with 12 or so other people. Then over to the bar to socialize with some of the coaches and directors of the various clubs. A drink later and it was time to go back to the room to do paperwork for the next day. In bed around 11 I think...
Sunday was a repeat of Saturday, with less time actually on the field working and more in the tent. It was ok though because the weather was bad in the beginning and being under the tent I stayed dry - and we were there until after 8. We had dinner just the 3 of us in our "safety green" a.k.a. Neon REF shirts. By the time we got to the hotel there was nothing on tv so I had a drink and went to bed. It was something like 1030 or so.
Woke up around 8, packed and drove home. Did the laundry then back to Mom's to work on closing the tournament. We've got maybe another few hours and it's over. We would have finished except we then had to go to referee up in Baltimore (because clearly there wasn't enough refereeing done this weekend...)
Sometimes I question my own sanity and the choices I make.
Well, now it's time to get back to work so I can leave on time because... you guessed it! More lacrosse tonight!!!
