5:53 a.m. - I got through yesterday. That was going to be the rough one. That was supposed to be the day I officiated in my first sectional championship game at Normal West High School. I watched some of it on television until the NFHS feed wouldn't work anymore. I also watched another official I know work at East Peoria. I don't know that I learned anything new, but I'm reminded of what it's like to work with unfamiliar partners in a game like that. Yesterday at school went fine. I was productive, and I feel like I've given students ample opportunity to collaborate and work on their presentations which start Monday. After a journal write activity today, they'll have a little more time.
Last night the Southwell grandchildren spent the night. I hadn't seen Tucker and Rosie in awhile, so it was good to see them. They sure do grow up fast. Rosie likes to read books, so we read some books. Tucker likes to play with his toy guns, so we did that too.
Oh, I did try to go for a walk yesterday because the temperatures outside were unusually warm. I didn't get far on my walk. There was discomfort on the side of my foot, and I even tried a couple of different pair of shoes. Maybe I should have just stayed in my cowboy boots for my walk. I have the most comfort in the cowboy boots. Despite not being able to go on a long walk, the foot still is getting stronger and stronger every day, which is good news. I still have a couple of weeks until my first softball game, but I'd like to start running before then just to be able to strengthen it a bit more.
Tonight is championship night for boys basketball. I should be working tonight too at ROWVA, but watching tonight's action won't be as difficult as last night's. And I never really knew whether or not I would get a boys sectional game (next week), so I didn't even get the chance to feel anything about that. I'll watch Rockridge boys play tonight on NFHS television - should be an interesting game between Mercer County and Rockridge. I think Mercer County is overall the better basketball team, but Rockridge has the experience and mental edge of being in a regional championship game like this. Lots of times the mental edge makes the difference.
