Tuesday, March 4

6:10 a.m. - Survived...finished.  The 24-25 season is over.  That was a challenge, and the old right knee has had it's last basketball game.  Everything fell into place last night at the 2A Girls Bureau Valley Supersectional.  I wasn't as healthy and as athletic as I would like to be, but I was much improved over what I had been suffering through a month ago.  All the attempts to recover and ice and heat and stretch paid off enough to allow me to get through the game.  I know I didn't look the greatest, but I feel like I called a good game and worked well with my partners.  Now the challenge is to take the next weeks and try to strengthen my legs as much as possible and cut some weight to help in the recovery process of knee surgery.  Then get through recovery and start rehabilitation and be good-to-go in three months after surgery, which will put me about mid-July.  

The day at school went okay.  I got a few things done and also dealt with some issues, but nothing too major.  As always, I learned something new, but that's a daily occurrence.  

Now I can exhale and relax a bit with the officiating season completed.  It's going to be rainy today, which won't help our spirits at ICE, but at least I get to come home today after school - hopefully to relax, but if the house is filled with grandchildren and granddogs and whatever else, then so be it.

Monday, March 3

5:30 a.m. - Today is the last day of basketball officiating season...just need to survive and advance past today.  Yesterday wasn't a day of great accomplishments, but I got done what I needed to get done.  I went to the old gym at the high school and played around with different set ups for shoes and inserts and braces to use for tonight's game and figured out an approach I'm going with.  I'm not sure if it will work, but at least I tried.  Then I went and checked on mouse traps in the camper, and there was no evidence of mice in the traps.  Then I went and visited mom and dad and got some hay down and filled the grain can.  And then I came home and watched basketball and soaked my bad legs in ice water.  

Today there isn't much scheduled on the "to-do list" for today, so I should be able to spend some time getting to items that are in progress that I need to work on.  I have some things I need to complete for next week's BOE meeting, and some things I need to do to prepare for scheduled items later in the week.  We are supposed to get heavy rain tomorrow, so maybe the students can get outside today.

Sunday, March 2

8:02 a.m. - Yesterday went fine - youth basketball, celebration of life, visit the Hoenigs...well, we did screw up and miss Greg's Birthday Dinner.  His birthday is today, so we thought the dinner was today.  And then I had hoped to visit today, but he's headed to Florida.  He turned 60, so that was a big one, and I'm feeling pretty guilty that the dates got screwed up.  

Brinley made a basket yesterday - her first of the season.  To be honest I was more impressed with the other team, though.  Their coach had obviously been working on getting her players to pass and dribble correctly.  Then we went to a Celebration of Life for Laura McGinnis.  It truly was a celebration...she was a pretty cool lady, and the celebration was really, really good.  And then it was off to spend some time with Caleb.  I sure wish they lived closer, but now that basketball is over, perhaps I can get down there more often.  He sure is growing.  

Today.  I'd like to get some exercise.  I'd like to check mouse traps and visit mom and dad.  And I'd like to get some couch time and watch some basketball.  There are a couple of good games to watch today, so I'll plan on that.  I may need to visit mom and dad early or later.
