musing from a hockey game

i was sitting watching a hockey game tonight and i felt inspired to write a post. del & i went to watch the Sioux play their second game this weekend. university hockey! what an interesting evening. some of the highlights were-a live university band playing in next section to us-what an awesome job the drummer did!-got to sit next to, and chat with Craig McTavish-remember him from his oilers days??-he left during the second intermission-we think cuz of the guy sitting on the other side of him, who had imbibed a bit much and was carrying on!!-i amused myself during the third watching the yahoo make obsene gestures, cheer wildly, get drowsy, lose his cell phone, and so on......-awesomefan support for the team, even in a losing game-skating cheerleaders, decent parking-and organized after game driving patterns. What a beautiful rink, as well!

Another thing that i re-learned today-shopping for myself with my husband and two teenage boys-well, its not the best idea I've ever had. i did get some alone shopping time while del and the boys watched a football game during the day. i thought they would want to hit the stores too, but, i obviously was wrong, and it was only me who gets a thrill of walking the malls. we had an awesome supper at texas roadhouse-reminds me, my leftovers are in the fridge-i should have them.

yes, we have gone away for the weekend. Booked it as going away as soon as we got jayde's schedule and realized it was the only weekend he did not have a hockey game. relax and have fun is the schedule!

I've been off work all week. last weekend, i worked , and throughout the weekend my back and shoulder got increasingly tighter(is that a word??), which on Sunday night culminated in constant muscle spasms and pain, and a useless left arm. Monday was spent getting a massage and multiple injections and meds.....which now 5 days later, has left me with an arm that is there, but alternates between numbness and pain, no more spasms thankfully. 3 sick days later, I'm on a scheduled week off and then a couple weeks of vacation. Hopefully that will be enough time to regain some use of that limb.

I.m typing , but as you've noticed, i:m not capitalizing all the letters I should, cuz its too much work. oh, well, i think it still makes sense.

my dad is scheduled for gallbladder surgery first thing monday morning. hopefully all goes well-day surgery and hes out. that should take care of that pain that has bugged him off and on the last few years.

okay, i'm fizzling out-i;m gonna go read a book.....
