Cougar Football - only different

Victory!!! I got that padding issue solved today. I finally decided that I was going to have to step through thousands of lines of code. I saw something happen that did not happen in another section. I found the problem. Then I lost it. I was so mad. It took a little less time to come up with it again. It was a single line of code about twenty-five characters long.

I added it in and then complied the DLL's. But due to the way our product was I had to recompile about five different projects in the correct order to get it to work. I tested it and bingo! It was working. I passed it along to testing.

I chatted with Ryan for a little bit. He asked me why I was feeling down. I told him it was an array of things. All starting with my mom finding out. He asked if she wasn't being supportive. I said that was not the case. She is fine. It is just that I feel weird now. Plus the other things. I feel drained and I don't want to deal with things. I told him that if I am offered the job working in Pullman I had some question over whether I would take it or not.

I am also worried about playing IM softball this season. I am afraid that a team with two former players could protest should be beat them. It would put us in the spotlight and depending on how the ruling goes we could have to forfeit the games. I would feel horrible if that happened.

Ryan wants me to be there because he feels the team needs my leadership because of the disarray from last week. It showed that there were problems. He asked me some questions about the person involved in the situation from Sunday. He never told me what exactly happened. Now he was asking me for information. I feel like I don't want to deal with it. I told him that and I told him that it was mainly because I am not feeling well mentally. I am feeling down about a lot of things. He said he still loves me. That was so nice to hear from him. He is my best friend and I think it helped to hear that -- A lot!

On the way home I decided that I would stop by Apollo and see Alec in football practice. He plays for Five-Star Cougars. The same club I played for at his age. It was fun to watch the practice. After words I talked to the coach from the team. He was a player for Five-Star back in the day. I found out he actually played with my brother Jon. That was cool. So I called Jon and told him about that.

I got home and ate dinner. There was fried chicken and potato salad. It was good. I like those foods. I watched some TV including Rescue Me. I spent some time online posting on my new message board.

I fell asleep in the recliner. I got up at about three am and went to my bed. But I could not get back to sleep. It was a little after five am when I finally looked at the alarm clock for the last time and drifted off to sleep.
