Is it me or......?

My basketball team has lost 14 straight games dating back 3 years. The softball team I played for last year? We didn't win a game either. I used to think I was the reason, but there are a lot of guys on those teams that are not me. Guys with talent.
Losing is one of those things that gets to you. Not in an upfront way but it has a way of staying with you and impacting you whether or not you know it. Like today at work, we got our butts chewed out for not selling more. In a recession. And it happens like twice a month. And I'd do something else but I'm lucky to have a job. There's really nothing else. Or if there is I don't know how to find it.
Emma has these moments where she'll randomly hit me. I'll tell her to stop, warn her of the consequences and then enact her punishment. Then she freaks and wants her Mom. Ten minutes later she's my best bud.
I can't let the dogs drink cold water. They've been barfing after walks when they come in and fill up on water. Thank God for laminate flooring.
I got told to "hold on" at a fast food joint the other day. I was in the drive thru and rolled up to the speaker where I was told to "Hold on". Not "be right with you" or "could you wait a moment please" but a sigh and frustrated, "Hold on". Serves me right for putting any confidence in the food service industry anymore.
I think I'll pop some corn tonight. We used to have a hot oil popper and melted real butter. It was amazing. Then we switched to a bowl that air popped it. Course now it's all bagged.
Positives: Finally getting baseboard, future steak dinner, DirectTV
Negatives: Missing the lads, chronic back pain, missing Scrubs...again...
