Reticent Man

I'm worn out today.  Played goalie pickup yesterday afternoon with very little energy.  Then watched the Wednesday keg game, played in the 930, stupidly blocked a shot with the side of my foot.  I need to do a better job of regulating how hard I'm going to try and how much I care about the outcome and how much I care about what other people are doing.  There's no reason to get annoyed while playing these games for fun.  Part of it is that I'm annoyed that my play isn't meeting my expectations, and of course when unfocused I transfer that annoyance onto others.  The question is whether my play isn't meeting expectations because I'm in a slump or whether it's because I let a streak of good/lucky play raise my expectations unrealistically.  Unfortunately all the Geckos bailed on the 1045 game, which was disappointing, and poor Tony showed up just to play 3v3 with random guys.  I was wasted by the end of the day though, and easily slept 9 hours.

Back to Tuesday, the keg game was quite fun.  My team had a good lineup with AJ and Brian and Jason, and I was confident.  We beat them 9-1, although it was 4-1 going into the 3rd.   I did face quite a few shots, although many from sharp angles.  I played fairly well and also fairly lucky, although I did a good job of remembering not to mention that this time.  I've been on a huge upswing recently in goalie luck and it's nice.  So it's 6 keg wins in I think 13 IO seasons combined.  4 for 9 in goal, and 2 for 4 skating.  Not bad at all.

So little to do right now.  I'm not going to play poker... I'm waiting to hear from PI.  So the logic is to make sure I'm where I want to be when I start working so I don't lose too much.  Like I said before, health and body I'm fine and figure to stay fine... I have a freezer full of meat.  I've got plenty of hockey to play, as much as I can handle, and I will upgrade the equipment as soon as the money rolls in.  I have some long term projects to work on, piano, chess, my visits, and possibly guitar, photo, and wardrobe.  Most of those are waiting for money.  So it's communication focus.

Still to do:
Carkey program.
Ian's wedding.
