We are the Champions.

Yesterday sucked in many ways. First off I found out my mom's store is closing. She will be reassigned to a different store, however, we don't know where as of yet. That is not good. Then my financial situation is at an all time low. I am more broke than I have ever been. I went to the bank where I have my truck loan. There was some money floating in that account. So I took it to my other two banks to get money in those accounts. I got to US Bank and I was told I was over drafted $80.00. I asked how that happened since I have not touched the account in about two weeks. She said there was an automatic withdrawal. The withdrawal happened the day before, so had I made the deposit on Monday all would have been good. But I did not even know that was about to happen. So it was a $63.00 withdrawal plus $32.00 for over drafting. AAAAAAAH! I am so mad. Hopefully I can get one of the refinance loans for my house. That would make life great.

Last night could have been my last game playing for My Office. I was the catcher. I did not ride the pine, but I also did not pitch. Confidence level in my pitching ability from the rest of the team must be low. We won the game, and I did not hit for squat. After the game I headed to My Office Bar and Grill with the trophy. We were there until around one o'clock in the morning, drinking and having fun. Michele and I were checking out the scenery at the bar. There were these two guys who were playing dart, and they were being a little friendlier than most friends. They were touching each other in a different way than normal. I told Michele that I thought they are gay. She wasn't sure. So, I went up to one of the guys who was wearing a grey shirt with "Washington State Athletics" writing on the front in crimson. He was about six feet tall. Short brown hair with well kept sideburns. He seemed like he works out and is pretty well built. I asked him if he was "family". He looked and me and said "what?". I said, are you "family". He said "what do you mean?". It seemed as though I was striking out. Then he said, "Are you asking if I am gay?". I said "Yeah." He said that he is gay. He knew what I was asking, but he wanted to see if I knew what I was asking before he answered. The guy he is with is his boyfriend. I told him that I thought that was the case. He said his name is Nick. We chatted briefly. He mentioned that there is a Show in Moscow (Idaho) on Saturday. The Show is a drag show. It is where all the gay guys and a lot of straight guys go to hang out, have some fun. He asked if I would go. I told him I was going to be in Seattle with a friend.

While at the bar and during the game I was making it pretty clear to Garrett that I am not pleased with him. When I was at the bar and had beer to top off beer glasses I would skip over Garrett's. I more or less ignored him when we talked or asked me questions. He was getting ready to leave he was shaking everyone's hands. He got to me, and I made a pretty weak effort, and I did not look at him, I kept looking at the TV. When he walked away, Michele asked what I was pissed at Garrett for. She said it was pretty clear through out the day that something was going on, but ignoring him during the handshake made he realize something was up. I asked her what she meant. She said that I am pissed at him for some reason. But if I did not want to tell her that was fine. As everyone was leaving the bar I was walking out with Garrett and some of the others. I asked Garrett if he was giving Joey's bats back. He said he was. I asked if he want to win this IM season. He said that he did and that we going to win the shirts. I said in that case, you should talk to Joey and see if his team needs a short stop.

I headed back to Colfax. I was pretty tired when I got home, I pealed off my uniform, I played with Amber and then went to bed.
