Another weekend passed, and only a soar ankle to show for it. Saturday, my boss and her fiance invited a ton of people over to play kickball. I haven't played kickball since elementary school. I had a great time, but woke up Sunday morning with a soar ankle from kicking the ball. My technique requires improvement...more foot, less shin. Afterwards, we hung out at their house and watched the Horns battle it out with the Razorbacks of Arkansas.
Texas won 22 - 20. Many positives came from the game...mostly we have a great running game, we committed no turnovers, and our defense swarms to the ball faster. Most importantly, this year's team has a greater hunger. They have guts. They play for the entire game, and don't give up, even when momentum shifts. All in all, a great game to raise your blood pressure. And on a day when so many other favorites fell (Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas State), I'm happy to walk away with a win.
Friday night, I ate dinner with Evan at Chuy's. Both of us ordered big ass burritos, which hit the spot. Evan needed something "big", something "that would fill him up"...so I hope the burrito satisfied that craving for a while. At least until Chase visits Austin. ;-) I haven't had a Chuy's burrito in a while, so it tasted extra good that night. Afterwards, I went to Mozart's, where I wrote for several hours.
Because I'm taking Jazz on Monday from noon to 1, I had to reschedule my weekly therapy appointment from its normal 11 - noon spot. The new time is Monday morning from 8 am - 9 am. Nothing starts off a work week better than talking to your therapist. I'm half-serious, half-sarcastic there. I guess it's somewhat carthetic. On the other hand, I get to talking about deep unhappy stuff, and then remain that way going in to work. But I thought I had a good session today. Improving oneself is a slow process, and it takes patience. Sometimes I need to step back and look at the big picture: I'm 150% better than in February. I amaze myself at the fairly rapid change I've gone through. Just continue through the process, and I'll be just fine.
If anyone can suggest a better Monday title than "Weekend Wrapup", let me know. I'm tired of using it.

Posted by: chase at September 13, 2004 12:50 PMThe addition to the banner is something I'm trying out. I was playing around with the banner, and will probably roll out an updated version in the next couple of weeks.

Glad to hear that you're progressing in therapy...hehe. I'd like to think that I had something to do with it. ;-)
