Hitting the road...

... with the basketball team yet again. This year we are going on the longest road trip we've ever been on. We leave tomorrow morning heading up to San Francisco for a game on Monday. We then hang out in the Bay city another day before we make our way east of the Mississippi for a three day invitational in Normal, IL. This will be the first year since senior year of undergrad that I will not be "at home" for Thanksgiving. We play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in Normal before heading back Monday.

With this especially long trip I have had quite the list of things to accomplish, and I am still trying to get everything done! Here's what my Saturday before this epic road trip was like:

9am- Cell phone alarm goes off. I promptly set another alarm to go off at 9:15am
9:15am- Cell phone alarm 2 goes off. Begin internal debate on whether to get up or lay in bed till 9:45am
9:45am- Cell phone alarm 3 goes off. Roll out of bed and do daily body test on the Wii Fit. Still Overweight, but slimming down slowly
9:50am- Shower
10:15am- Drive to work
10:35am- Speak with Physician regarding ongoing medical case
11am- Sit in Athletic Training Room (ATR) waiting for athletes to show up
11:45am- First athlete decides to come in for treatment
12pm- Team begins watching film; Begin tearing kit apart in prep for packing
12:45pm- Team emerges from film
12:50pm- Meet with athlete, physician, and coach regarding case
2:30pm- Practice is supposed to be over
2:45pm- Practice was supposed to be over
3pm- Players finally allowed to leave the court
3:30pm- Athletes all gone. Head back to main ATR
3:45pm- Resume packing kit
5pm- Still packing kit
5:30pm- Get Emergency Cards and Insurance information together
6pm- Send email to physician to work on scheduling referral for case previously discussed
6:30pm- Much needed haircut
7pm- Begin laundry
7:15pm- eat left over "Hot N' Ready"
8:15pm- Begin loading Ipod with music and video's
8:30pm- Begin paperwork unable to finish at work
8:45pm- Laundry is dried and ready to be folded
10:15pm- FInished paperwork for work
10:30pm- Pack duffel bag for trip
11pm- Do dishes, take out recycling and trash
11:15pm- Shave and shower, pack toiletries
12am- Sleep

Biggest thing to look forward to on this trip: Catching up on all the sleep that I have not been getting since basketball started. Be ready for phone calls people. We've got some catching up to do and when I'm bored in the hotel you are all on speed dial; between naps of course!
