When I got ready to work I went outside to get my paper and it wasn't here yet.  I worked in the office for a while and checked again, and still no paper.  I worked some more and when it still wasn't here I got online and chatted with someone named Julie who assured me that she could contact the manager over my region and I would get my paper 'asap'.  Well, Julie was right.  I would say that within the hour Sheila brought me down my paper in a plastic bag that said that they were sorry and I did not deserve to be treated that way.  So I read my newspaper and I found out that there was a ball game on that I wanted to see.  So I made my plan and got busy working for most of the day in anticipation of the ball game.  My work day had its successes and its failures.  Some things went alright and some things could have been better.  But I finally got to watch my game and I enjoyed seeing BYU win.   Now you think I am mistaken.  But BYU did win the volleyball match against Hawaii.  In fact, it was a sweep 3-0.  Oh, but you are thinking of the basketball game.  Right.  I saw that too.  And BYU won that too, and will be playing for the National Championship in the NCAA Tournament.  Huh!!
That was the Division II game and BYU Hawaii defeated the number one ranked and undefeated team to earn their way into the national championship game on Saturday.  So I am not crazy.  I wanted so much for Jimmer-mania to triumph, but alas, it did not happen.  I mourned for them and felt bad for myself, but then my life went on and the other games happened  and all of them and all of the others that I only saw parts of had a winner and a loser.  Who can keep up with it all.  And who can live or die over a game when they are as numerous as they are.  It all fits with my new favorite song.  You could listen to that too.  Just google "wore out" sung by Jake Hess.  I did it again and I'm listening to it right now as I continue writing. Its the one on YouTube and it is my new theme song.  I played it for Sheila today and she liked it too.  She said that is a good description of her too.  So I will close now and retire with that song echoing in my head.  At the end of this day and all of its games and matches and goings-on all I can say is that I am 'Wore Out'.
