5:50 a.m. - Yesterday was a long day - 2 5-inning 9th grade games at Durant...some lunch at Hong Kong Buffet in Muscatine....2 more varsity games in the evening at Muscatine. I was glad to be done with the day. I didn't even come home - just found a shady spot at the ballpark in Muscatine and took a little snooze.
Today? Well, the weather doesn't look great this morning, and I'm supposed to have a couple of games at Bettendorf at 10 a.m., and I'm supposed to do the games by myself. This is doable, but not preferred. Clinton is usually terrible, so working the games 1-man isn't going to affect any outcomes. On the other hand, it's been a long week. If I could take the day off, wait until the rain clears, and then do some trimming of the pushes along the pool, I'd take that - especially since I have four games tomorrow.
2:42 p.m. - We got through game one with Bettendorf winning 15-0. We started game two, but the rain started to fall very steady a couple of innings in. I had to do some "bending" of procedure, but we got all the girls an at-bat before I called it. I got home and started washing umpiring clothes to get ready for tomorrow, and then I went to mom and dad's and got their coolers and sat and visited for a bit. I think I'm already for Carmen's event on Sunday. The only thing I need to do is get some ice, but I want to wait to do that until that day. Today's a rain day, so I can't work on anything outside, and I don't really want to pay the bills or do any registering. The eye drops prescription isn't in yet, so that can't get done. I think I'm going to hang out here at home, maybe read a little from the umpiring publications I purchased, and then take a little snooze until Amber arrives home.
Things to do
- register for Iowa officiating crap
