Today was a recuperation day for me. I've been so tired all day from yesterday's games. I went to bed pretty early last night, so I woke up kind of early. When I did, I had some cereal, and then did a 30 minute workout on the elliptical machine in the garage. After that, I sat on the couch and waited until I was supposed to run to Kelsey's for us to go on our run, but she texted me around 10:15 and said she wasn't feeling well, so I took an hour an a half nap on the couch :)
When I woke up, I made myself a salad for lunch, and then went back down to the couch to read/watch tv. I kept texting Kelsey because I was supposed to go over there and help her and Ingrid bake swedish cookies, but I never heard from them... and then My walks down at 4:30 in our practice clothes and I found out we had practice at 6. I don't know how I didn't know about it lol. So Kelsey calls me a few minutes later and asks if I can bike over there to help her and Ingrid make out the practice schedule, so I do that until it's time for practice, and then bike down to practice.
We decided to split the team up into groups to work on their weaknesses. I was in charge of infield, Kelsey of hitting, and Ingrid had the outfield. And every 15 minutes 2 different people would go to Kelsey's hitting station. So I didn't really practice today.. I was more of a coach, but it definitely worked out well to be able to work with the girls one on one with what they needed working on the most. I helped the infield with ground ball drills where they are on their knees, and then I threw short hops to them, and then worked them side to side. Then I hit them grounders and had them throw to the bags. I also worked with a few of the girls on how to cover 1st and 3rd base on leads and steals, and we worked on some bunts and foul ball pop flies. I thought the practice went really well... Ingrid had the outfield catching tennis balls with a bucket (coach majeski gave me that idea) and they had a blast doing that.
We have another practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but Karin, My, and I won't be at Thursday's practice because we are going out of town to look at the camper we will be using on our vacation, and then to have dinner with their friends who they never get to see. Ingrid will also be out of town for business the rest of the week, so Kelsey will be running practice all alone on Thursday :/
After practice, we biked back to the house and My and I started making some dinner. I cut up all the veggies and lettuce for the salad, and My cooked some very thin meat on the stove and put butter and cheese on some rolls and put them in the oven. It was tasty.
After dinner, I did another 20 minute workout on the elliptical, and got 500 punches in on the punching bag, then showered. Now I am getting ready for bed. Hopefully tomorrow My will take Kelsey and I to her favorite restaurant downtown called Wickman's. Supposedly their salads are awesome and you get to pick 5 different things to go with them... such as pasta salad, feta cheese, cottage cheese, etc.
Oh! Also... Karin talked to a man today about the possibility of me working at one of the bakeries, and he said at one of them there's a 21 year old girl working, but he doesn't know if she speaks English. So Karin is going to look into that, and Micke is going to talk to another bakery tomorrow for me! Hopefully something will work out, even though I might be working at like 4 am since that's when the bakeries start their baking. But oh well, I will work for a couple hours and then come back and sleep :) So keep your fingers crossed for me!
