Things Neglected Since Monday

Life kind of went on-hold beginning on Monday.  Here is a short list of the things I neglected:

1.  The kitchen.  In the last 3 days, dishes and pots and pans have piled up and remained uncleaned.  This is probably the first order of business.

2.  Hygiene.  I've worn the same shirt for 3 straight evenings.  It's my purple-on-yellow "Have a GREAT Day" T-Shirt that I got for my birthday but which was given to me a couple days early in anticipation of this series.

3.  Little Miss ATVS.  We haven't done our usual evening walks, and we've cut down on our evening reading in order to allow me to concentrate on the Championship Series.

4.  The dog.  Accustomed to going for a walk in the middle-evening, he has been waiting until the end of the games, except for the Tuesday game when he got his normal walk due to rain delay.

What about you?  What's neglected?

Neglected

Hair. I desperately need a haircut which I normally get for discount on Mondays.

Hygiene. Wore the same (don’t laugh) purple shorts and shirt 3 days in a row.

The dog. Same thing.

The neat thing is my wife was out of town for all three days so I was able to yell and
scream all my suggestions and brilliant coaching moves to the team.
I truly believe in some way I helped the Tigers. Did anyone else help coach the team
to victory? You know they can hear you if you talk loud enough. :-)

mine

As long as it was purple and gold and passed the smell test, I was putting it on for the games.

Specifically though:

Monday – Didn’t shave, b/c it somehow made me think I was contributing to the team’s momentum. Lucky beard came through for us.

Tuesday – Still didn’t shave, but clearly I had squeezed the last bit of luck out of the beard on Monday night

Wednesday – I knew we would win b/c I threw off all of the bad karma when i shaved off the luckless beard.

Glad I could do my part.

What a great post...This is funny because I'm sure we were all dropping everything the past few days...

Hygiene – Nothing neglected here. I did wear the same white polo the entire post season (until last night when I switched to my purple polo), but washed it every day.

The Kitchen – Definitely ignored that. Been eating left overs out of the freezer rather than cooking all week. Pots and plates are stacked high.

The fiance – We’re getting married in less than 3 weeks and moving into our new place about 2 weeks after that. She’s done a great job of picking up the detailed planning while I’ve been glued to the TV. Since she’s an Auburn fan, I’ve convinced her that it’s OK if she roots for LSU in baseball because we are no threat to Auburn ever being good. They will suck with or without us.

I neglected sleep

Since I couldn’t put work off to watch the game, i would go home, watch game, then go back to work. 3 days. I passed out hard last night after the game, and had sweet dreams of victory.

So many things...

Kitchen for sure…it is extemely dirty and I fear I will lose a few nice vegetables to the garbage. I’m looking to cook up a storm tonight.
Laundry…clean and dirty strewn all about the floor and a bag waiting at the laundromat for me to pick up.
Sleep…this made being in the eastern time zone all the more difficult. I don’t think we went to bed before 2 any night this week.
My sister…who just returned from a summer abroad in England and I haven’t called her yet.
Fortunately we are a two LSU fan household so we don’t have to ignore each other.

Interpersonal Relationships

1. My dog has learned to have more bladder and spincter control, though, from his demeanor, he is not happy with this learning experience.
2. Grandson baseball games. He is on high school team, playing extra inning (summer league) baseball. Since all of his games start at 6:00 PM I have depended on getting scores from his games by cell. Of course, he is a LSU fan so he understands.
(My wife doesn’t, since she is not a fan of any sport, but she is a fan of her grandson)
3. 24/7 cell phone for real estate activity was reduced to 20.5/7 If they aren’t watching THE GAME, probably are not really serious about buying or are ’Bama fans.

Back in 1993

During the 1993 National Championship Game, the whole family was at my parent’s home. Some time during the game, my then wife went into labor pains for our first born. Knowing that labor usually lasts for a long time, I knew we had plenty of time to watch the rest of the game. After the game was over, we went to the hospital and waited around til the next morning for the baby to arrive. No problem.

Some people don’t understand that.

The new wife

finally came to understand (or at least accept) it last night

I meant your wife that was in labor.

Was she okay with the wait before going to the hospital?

1. Girlfriend. Somehow, when we are winning games, she says “It’s over, we can quit watching now.” Same thing when we are losing. Apparently, I am selfish. But, after 6 years, she is starting to understand.

2. Dog.

3. My chores. It’s gonna be a long weekend of catching up. Especially the yard/ garden.

4. Work. Kept leaving work early to watch the game. I live on the west coast, so gametime was 4pm for me.
