5:44 a.m. - Another day closer to the end of the school year. Yesterday went as it should have ... school and softball and home. After the game last night, the softball crew I'm working with went to a local establishment for a quick sandwich and beverage. It was nice to sit and chit-chat, even if it was quick. I was home by 7 p.m., and I saw the Harrison grandchildren for a bit. After that I worked on getting ready for camping, as I'm taking the camper out to the campground after school today. So I went to Shawn's for a little firewood and hooked up the Eagle. This morning I just need to load a little food supply and some clothes, which shouldn't be too much trouble.
Yesterday I did learn my partner for next week's 4A regional. First of all, there is only one partner, which is really disappointing. I would prefer three umpires for a regional tournament. Next, is the person I was assigned to work with. He's a veteran umpire, and he and I aren't exactly "close". I really want to enjoy my time umpiring or officiating, and partners are a big part of that. Without that enjoyment, then umpiring or officiating become more of a job...and with postseason, the experience can be downright uncomfortable. That's pretty much how all three games will go next week...we'll get through it, but the whole experience will be uncomfortable. That's really not how I wanted to end the IHSA season, and it's a whole lot different to the end of last season. I'll need a nice weekend coming up to help get my patience level up to maximum to prepare for next week.
