Tired | Sa 1/28

I felt my body exhausted while trying to get up out of my chair during the day. Work was okay, but my team members have separately asked to have meetings about the automation utility, which puts some pressure on me to actually progress. Other than that I napped and was late for volleyball again.

The DIVA open gym was okay, mostly sitting around since every team had 7 players and I kept getting asked to play middle. I hope that doesn't force me into playing the position during the season though. I also played pretty badly, my ankle wounds still nagging me even with band-aids and tape. Afterwards Sara, Devin, and I went to Garland to play with the Friday group and it was productive.

We found an open court and I got to practice passing a lot. It seems like I shouldn't lower my platform to swing my arms up, but put my hands together directly from my neutral position and swing from there. Afterwards Sara and I went to BBQ Chicken where we ran into Sherry and that group by chance.

This week has made me learn:

• The importance of sleep in playing good volleyball
• Many solutions to the ankle rubbing situation (2nd skin, tegaderm, high socks, different sized shoes)

Now I'm digging deep into basketball socks and am looking forward to getting 8 hours of sleep now.
