When Xavier has hockey we tend to get home late and I do not always remember if i have posted or not. Sometimes at the arenas there are people that count shots, and some people are not bad and some people are absolutely trash at it and it annoys me so much. The score keeper basically doublex the count yesterday as any shot they counted even if was miles from the net or if they goalie touched the puck. The resulting shot has to either go in or the goalie prevent it. Missed shots, crossbars, posts, blocked shots, clearing shots from the other end of the ice do not count. The time keeper had something like 50 shots to 34 shots. My count was I think 30 to 15. i asked Xavier how many he had and he was aligned with me. The parents in the. stands always think that i am very strict with my count, but if Xavier catches a puck that is missing the net or will miss the net i do not count it. A lot of other goalie parents count anything towards the net or if their kid touches the puck and their shot counts are astronomical and they have these save percentages in the mid to high 90’s. I guess that it is done to help boost their ego or inflate the kids egos, but i do not really see the purpose, Touching the puck does not always equate to a save. Last night the. coach told the team that Xavier was going to play the puck more and be ready for passes, and he fired the puck up the ice as much as he could and had some icing calls which was fine.
Considering that yesterday was treatment day things were not too bad and i was able to watch the game fine. My weight keeps on increasing but i think it might be ok. If it keep on climbing then next week i will need to go in and get drained again. I tend to be able to eat the most on these days where the steroids are active. i slept till appoximately 6am this morning and i think that I will take a sleeping pill tonight as well since we will be driving tomorrow. I think that i will try and drive to Whitby and Mel might try and work on the drive. Olivier has wanted Dim sum for such a long time that on the drive we will be passing a bunch of places on Hwy 7 and maybe we will stop at one of the numerous restaurants thatI have pinned. There are also a bunch of good vietnamese restaurants that we can go to as well. I think this will be a good test to see how well i do as we will be out and about all day on Saturday, but this is the first week of treatment so i think that i might be ok. With my compromised immune system i am not sure if I will wear a mask the whole time or not. I might just believe that i am not going to be sick as that is generally pretty effective. There are some things that i would like to buy while I am down there. Some treats for people. It seems that today i am in a bit of spending mood and i bought some ridicilous things for my nephews. They will get it as long as they acknowledge their proper names, Caleb, Caleb Jr, and Caleb Jr. Jr. I am not sure why my sister-in-law decided to name them that, but it is a bit weird. Sometimes you just want to be nice and i am in a good mood today because I feel good from amy treatment so i want to share how i feel. i also setup an automatic allowance for the kids, which Mel and i do not necessarily agree upon, but that is ok. She will not notice. I will then use that money for theri TFSA in the future.
