"This growing old business sucks..."
Hockey training last night, and that was a whole heap of ow last night trying to sleep and this morning trying to drag together the energy to get up.
I'll have to go for a grumpy little run later. Or I'm not going to survive the weekend.
Of hockey things: we had three goalies for this year - actual people who wanted to do goalieing. One had cancer a few years ago and while the cancer is not back (so far as the tests can tell), she's not been feeling well and is off for at least the next couple of weeks.
Another was doing fine...until she learned she'd need urgent hand surgery this week. I got a call from the team coach asking if I could goalie for their team this Sunday. (I said yes, but Sunday is looking a little crazy: midday goalie game, 3pm dedication of nevvy 1 hour away in the south-west, 6pm field game. The sistren say I don't have to attend the dedication - I mean, it's going to be a complete madhouse on account of SSIL's family, SB's dad and stepfam - ie. us - and SB's mum and probably stepfam... But I'd like to be there. *sigh*)
Anyway, the third goalie is down with COVID and not recovering well. That team is also experiencing a rash of illnesses/injuries right now, so they keep on having to ask for players from team 2 to drop down and sub for them. Ofc, rules say only 2 players allowed, which results in games like the other weekend where there were only 10 players on the field with the two subs from the higher grade. Ouch.
And this week, our team app went red hot with all the people who weren't able to make training this week. Injuries, illnesses, absences...the whole hog.
I think this is one of those years where none of our teams are going to make it into the finals series. We had too many players to go with two teams, and only just enough to go with three, and so every week is a scramble for players and goalies and equipment and everything.
B1 was asking if I have any actual rest time this weekend. At this point, Friday evening is empty, and so is Saturday afternoon...
But I really could do with an entire day/weekend of Not Having Anything Scheduled. I feel like I haven't had that in a while.

Now that made me laugh!
OUCH indeed. I swear I can feel my bones creaking and crumbling in the middle of the night.
