AS for us? overcast and dreary day here. After two days without the pool? I'm torn between the soccer event at the stadium and going to the pool. I guess the weather in the next couple hours will tell the tale.
The new maletonin I bought is really doing the trick! I fall asleep within 15 minutes of taking it and slept from around 10:30 pm to 6:30 this morning. And then had to drag myself out of bed needing coffee to wake me up! lol feeling a lot better
Another good game in the books for the Wahoos, even if we didn't win. They are playing so hard!! The bats continue to be hot.. the pitching is getting better and better holding them to only 4 runs! the defense is good too and no one can do much about those sneaky home runs!! lol Tie game until the top of the 8th when the Wahoos go ahead by 1, but the Chattanooga team gets 2 in the bottom of the 9th to win it! My only fear is that our guys get more upset about the losses and don't focus on the amazing improvement they display over the last half!
One thing I read yesterday, and totally cannot believe it, is that the ONE umpire that I, yes I admit it, DETEST!, will be calling the Future Stars game! WTH??? I really feel sorry for the pitchers, and batters for that matter, that will depend on him to make good calls....... I don't think it's gonna happen!! He's horrible behind the plate!!! maybe they'll put him in the field, I hope, I hope..... 2 icks and an ish!
Really looking forward to the USA / Germany match in the World Cup!! The USA team must know about their worldwide support! All praying for a win or a tie! GO USA!! At least we have something to be proud of about our country, for now!!
The Blue Wahoos will host a viewing party in the Hancock Bank Club tomorrow as the USA Soccer Men's National Team takes on Germany live from Brazil in the FIFA World Cup at 11 a.m. Gates open at 10:30 a.m. and the game will be shown live with sound on the video board and on the HBC televisions. The event is free to the public. Light concessions will be available for purchase. No outside food or beverage is permitted in the viewing party.
Wish I knew why my calves are so sore.. they seem to be constantly aching lately. I hope it's not restless leg as the meds for that are bad for the brain! My neurologist told me to stop taking them couple years ago. I'll have to start drinking Quinine water again..
Off to the stadium and hopeful that I will be able to collect more donations!! I'm gonna do this until my hair grows back!! WAHOO!! And I did get $2 more!
Really disappointed that the USA soccer team did not win! Germany got ONE goal, just one!, and beat us 1 to zip. I learned a lot while watching it with so many people! About 100 or more were in the Hancock Center at the stadium watching the match on the big screen (was too far away really) and the smaller ones around the area.
What did I learn you ask? First I learned that the USA team is very good at defense! Saw some major blocks. Second I learned that Germany plays dirty! Really clobbered some of our players!
Third I learned that the German players are whiners!! lol IF our guys managed to trip them up, and usually it was accidental not like them, they lay there and whined.
The only one of our players who lay on the field for a while was the guy who was playing with a broken nose and got hit TWICE right in the nose!! Don't blame him and wouldn't if he had been bawling his eyes out!
The last thing I learned was that I REALLY enjoy being with my friends! Whether we are watching a baseball game or soccer.......
So the USA lost but still goes on..... okay, if you say so! lol
Susan called, pool chemicals are great!! HOWEVER, I came home from the stadium, sat on the couch when I had changed my clothes, and promptly fell asleep!!! No pool today! and the sun is coming out so no overcast now.
I could go to the pool this afternoon, but I'm very tired, my eyes are burning and my legs are aching! Think I'll pass. AND it has been sprinkling too, probably would pour if I went...
My sweet friend Paula Bankester brought me ribs last week that just need a little more cooking time in some BBQ sauce, so I just put them in the crockpot with the sauce... I had one of our amazing hot dogs at the stadium today, with grilled onions and peppers!
My dear friend Debbie Tucker just called. We were trying to find a free internet but it seems they don't have them anymore?? She is in a nursing home without the net and going nuts! She finally got her phone again...... so not cut off completely from the outside world. Please pray for Debbie as she's trying so hard to come back from this horrible stroke she had.. They said the reason she had another major stroke, instead of another TIA was because she was still grieving so deeply for her late husband she lost about a year ago....... so sad!
Very tired tonight for some reason.... so I'm off to bed early. Will finish listening to the Wahoos game on the clock/radio...
Have a great night, sweet dreams and know you are loved!! God really blessed me today........
