Sunday, March 21

9:37 a.m. - Yesterday, I was a COMPLETE couch/recliner basketball watching potato!  I ate too much; I didn't exercise at all; and I watch 10 hours straight of March Madness.  I did have a twinge of guilt, but I kept reminding myself that after this weekend, there won't be anymore weekends of complete laziness.  The yard will need mowed, officiating will occur, camping season will return, and many other things will occur that will require my attention and effort.  Today, may just be somewhat of a repeat, but I think I will try to get a little exercise in somehow and not eat as much.  I do need to meet with Arda today and assist him.  

1:31 p.m. - Illinois loses...ugh.  They didn't pay well...didn't look energized; didn't look prepared.  That was tough to watch.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (3/16)

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;
    a humble heart, that I may hear;
    a heart of love, that I may serve;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide

Friday, March 19

6:25 a.m. - So yesterday I dropped off my bike at B&B in Geneseo.  The rep looked at me like I was dumb, which I didn't really appreciate very much, but then again, perhaps I am dumb that I can't change the brakes on a bicycle.  Lloyd Trowers and I got through our matches at Geneseo, and I once again felt very awkward and uncomfortable officiating volleyball.  A couple things happened that I need to get clarification on, so I'm hoping to talk to Shawn today about it.  I got home last night to watch a little of the First Four of the NCAA Tourney, so that was nice.  Illinois plays today, and I hope to be able to watch it from school somehow.  It's Friday, and yesterday was an extra day to get some things done that I had been putting off, so that was welcomed.  Today, I hope to get some things done too, and then enjoy a weekend of watching March Madness.

Thursday, March 18

7:36 a.m. - Apparently there was a widespread power outage early this morning, so school was canceled, and then the power came back on around 7:15 a.m. - THAT'S THE BEST SNOW DAY EVER - no school, no snow, and the power is back on!  We have to get Amber's car down to get it worked on, and I got the garbage out this morning, and I have volleyball games later on this evening.  Other than that....a day off is welcomed!

12:11 p.m. - I worked on some financial stuff....didn't exactly discover great news.  Then I tried to fix my bicycle...also didn't discover great news.  I'm going to take it to a shop in Geneseo, since I'm headed that way to officiate some volleyball later today anyway.  Maybe I'll get a haircut today too.  I also need to get some money out of my checking account for the Amber & Jay Savings game.  So on my day off, I haven't really gotten a lot accomplished yet, but I am working on some things.
