T is up at the neighbor’s basketball court shooting and getting some help from him.
There’s only 6 kids on T’s team this year, by accident, 1 quit preseason, another one broke a limb the day before the first practice, out the rest of the year.
He had his first game a few days ago. T received 4 minutes playing time in the beginning of the game, sat on the bench by himself for the rest. He’s the weakest player on a team made of kids who have been playing basketball for years, year round for the past 2-3.
He’s put in a lot of work the past few days, dribbling in the basement.. shooting and practicing layups up at the hoop... watching basketball on tv (something we never do) and talking about the plays/positions with me.
He has practice at 10am this morning. I hope his coach notices the work, and I’m praying that T gets some more playing time this weekend. Basketball isn’t a passion of his, he just wants to play for fun with his classmates, and he just wants to learn the game. 4 basketball games this weekend, a possible 5th if they advance to the finals.. it will be miserable if spent on the bench.

Excited that I won't have to deal with my blood relatives and their stupid drama (a little sad, but more so relieved than anything), excited that I get to leave work early today, so excited for my hubs and him getting his PE and CXA for Engineering, and also quite excited that I am going to get my next big tattoo done after work. That's right! Right before the family comes over this week, I am getting a big tattoo done. 
So happy! Actually, I am so thankful for all of this, no drama, leaving work, new tattoo, hubs getting his licenses...I got a lot to be thankful for. 
on that, as my much older sister is also vertically challenged
