Last night i was invited to play on another softball team. Softball is pretty much the only thing that is guaranteed to make me feel better. I love playing for other teams. I get a chance to see their tricks and get to know the other players.
Last night i played for the Trailer Park Boys. That's right. The average age on the team is probably 24. Strapping young lads. I played well enough, drank too much Lucky beer and had a really fun time. It reminded me, for a moment, how fun it was to be in your early twenties.
It was the perfect end to a really crappy day.
Today i feel much better about being dumped by my psychiatrist. I know exactly what he was doing – tough love. As i walked away i could see in his eyes that he is expecting to see me again, probably in some dramatic situation. I'm not going to let that happen. The competitive side of me won't let it.

Thats the spirit Jess! Show him who’s boss. I know you won’t let it happen, you really are too strong for that.
Take care of yourself.
Atta girl!!
Nice hit slugger.
Glad you hit it out of the park in every sense of the phrase. I like the glimmer of spark in your voice.
Good for you Jess!!!!!
I love the natural high I get from doing any athletic activity. I actually feel better about myself.
I had the hardest time when I got dumped by my weekly appointment. It’s hard, but not impossible.
Ha ha! That sounds really familiar. I’m AT LEAST 10 years older than everybody on my coed softball team. But that’s OK. They love me anyway. (And they share their beer!) :)
oh how fun. I want to play!
