Thursday, December 30

6:20 a.m. - A first snowstorm is headed to our area this weekend; thankfully, I should be home without any games.  Yesterday was tough.  I played with the Harrison girls, and then it was off to do a couple of games at the Erie Tournament.  I didn't work with my regular partners for either game, which was not fun.  There is just a comfort level with "the crew" that isn't there when working with other officials, especially when I don't know someone.  The evening game was especially troublesome.  This morning, I'm headed even farther for distance, so I'll be leaving at about 7:30 a.m. - just enough time to get in a stretch and get the garbage out on the drive.  The good news is that I'll get paid today and then call it a week, a month, and a year of 2021 officiating.

Wednesday, December 29

7:59 a.m. - I need to fix my car today.  On our trip to officiate, the windshield wiper on the driver side stopped working.  Officiating went well; it was nice to work with Tucker on his first night ever.  I did manage to get the rest of the English III exams scored yesterday, which was nice.  I hope to get some papers scored today, but that may not happen because the Harrisons will be here again today.

Tuesday, December 28

7:54 a.m. - I just realized I missed yesterday...oops.  There really wasn't much to yesterday, so I guess that's okay.  I went to officiate two games, but that turned into one game.  So I watched Rockridge girls then went with Marcus to his dad's bar and grill and had some really good pizza.  Then we went to his dad's other bar and had another beverage.  Then I came home and watched a movie with Amber.  So like I said, not a whole lot happened, but it was still a good day.

Today is going to be about the same...not a lot on the agenda.  The Harrisons are arriving around noon and are going to spend the night.  I have a couple of lower level games, but I'm going to take Shawn's daughter's fiance to the games with me, so he can get some experience.  All of that is weather permitting because we have some snow arriving this morning that is supposed to turn into rain eventually.  

This morning I'm going to exercise a bit and get to those exams and score those.

Sunday, December 26

8:22 a.m. - The day after Christmas...almost...is here.  Today is an "almost" because we have one more Christmas today.  I'm going to make us some mashed potatoes and in between try to get some exercise in and maybe score some exams.  Tomorrow it's back to officiating for four days in a row before getting next weekend off for the New Year holiday.  Yesterday was nice; we went to Rhonda and Jack's and then we picked up Darren in the afternoon and went to the casino.  After that, it was Amber and I in a quiet house watching some Hallmark Channel.

Saturday, December the 25th! It's Christmas Day!

8:23 a.m. - Yesterday, our Christmas Eve was EVERYTHING I wanted it to be.  We celebrated and celebrated and celebrated.  We were able to be with our family, and we ate great food, and we opened wonderful gifts, and we played cards, and my heart was filled with warmth and joy.  So what's on tap for today?  Well, I'm not really sure.  I know I have some burning to do.  I know I want to exercise at least a little somehow.  We are going to Rhonda and Jack's, and my guess is that we will make it to the casino sometime and try our luck there.  I think there is some football on television, so that will be a possibility, and a nap sounds pretty good.

Friday, December 24 - Merry Christmas Eve!

7:11 a.m. - Yesterday I was able to get some projects done around the house heading into today's big day.  I was able to get to the eye doctor, took a walk at Black Hawk State Park, worked on adjusting my shower, worked on changing the furnace humidifier, tried the spray stuff in the storage room, visited with my parents, watched my favorite Christmas show, and had the best salad of greens to eat that I've had in a long time.  Oh, and I went shopping too, and filled up my car with gas.

Today, the grandchildren will be arriving around 8:30, so Amber is making some breakfast goodies, and I need to take out the garbage and get some chairs from the basement and do a few other things before taking a shower and getting myself ready.  After Amber's clan, my three kids will arrive, and then all of us will head to Grandma Cathy's for some celebration.  Yup, it's going to be a festive day with lots of family and eats! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Wednesday, December 22

7:26 a.m. - Today has finally arrived!  Today is the first day of the holiday break, and while I have a lot of schoolwork to do, the feeling is wonderful to be on break!  Last night, Marcus and I drove to DeWitt to work a boys game, and we worked with an experienced official that was fun to work with.  Tonight, Shawn, Marcus, and I travel to Farmington for two girls' games.  I think this morning the Harrison grandchildren are arriving, but I don't have much else going.  I may try to score some semester exams if there is a little time.  The last of the Xmas gifts arrived yesterday, and I did a quick wrap job on it.  I think Santa Jay is ready for the big day.

Tuesday, December 21

7:50 a.m. - One more day of first semester is all that is left.  Yesterday was a very productive day because I got my checkbook balanced; I got some schoolwork done; and I got all my Xmas wrapping done in Santa's Workshop.  Unfortunately I had to watch the Bears game while doing it, but at least the wrapping job helped keep my spirits up.  I've now gone two days without officiating, and my knee is appreciating the time off even though I'm sitting here with the usual ice pack on it right now.

Monday, December 20

7:20 a.m. - Our computer at home is not working, so I didn't have an entry yesterday, and this one is going to be very short.  Semester exams are today and tomorrow.  I will have a lot of scoring of assignments over the holiday break, and I will have a lot of officiating between Christmas and New Years.  It's okay, I can handle it.  So far I don't have any officiating tonight, so tonight I think it's the Hallmark Channel and Santa's Workshop to get some gifts wrapped.
