Ups and Downs

 Last night I crashed...hard.  Like, slightly after 10.  I was off today, so I didn't set the alarm, thus sleeping in a bit.  But, it was a busy day besides --  an AM trip to the gym, lunch at Cracker Barrel (one gift card gone, one to go), a stop at the library, a meeting with the SVDP President for some ideas for the future, a brief visit to help a friend with some things... also took up the Xmas decorations (sad). My sister told me I should rest, which is true, but also amused me, as I am not one to do that, and today...let's just say  that my schedule tends to fill up.

Watched the Duke game...and while they certainly deserved to lose considering how they played, it still sucked for them to lose.  All those turnovers, oi.  All that lack of defense in the inside; even when Williams was in -- to say nothing of letting him get that 4th foul early in the second half.  They talked after the game about how they can't seem to get emotional and win after a big win...this could be me, but given where we are in the season...this problem should have been fixed by now, and the fact that it has not been is a problem.

At least this cheered me up; the more I read about her, the more love ACB.  So there's that.
