Yesterday's volleyball game was challenging. Cordelia's team lost two and won one. One of the lost games was so close that it went past twenty five points (the winning team has to be at least two points ahead). Cordelia had some good serves and good returns. Both teams had trouble though-- Apparently they were playing with a dead ball. The referee refused to change the ball even though both teams asked to and even though there were at least twenty other balls available. A couple of parents were planning to complain to Rec & Ed.

The last soccer game for Cordelia's team for the season was at the same time as the volleyball game, so she missed that. She regretted that because the game was against the team she started the season with, but she preferred to attend the volleyball game.

After the game, we picked up sandwiches at Bagel Fragel. Then Scott started working on the bathroom sink. That faucet has been leaking for two or three weeks now, getting steadily heavier. The process took Scott five hours and three trips to the hardware store. He had hoped to get some other things done yesterday, but the faucet took all afternoon.

None of us wanted the leftovers we had for dinner, so Scott dug some pork buns out of the freezer and figured out how to cook them (we've had some disasters with this sort of thing in the past). We also had apples (honeycrisps for the win!).

I finished rereading Rheotaxis. I'm overall pleased with what I've accomplished so far. I just hope I can stick the landing (and get past chapter 24. That chapter is really giving me trouble). It definitely made me want to write even if it didn't make me want to write the current chapter.

I wonder what the referee was thinking! There must have been some logic there, but I'm having a hard time guessing what it was.

Much sympathy about the faucet repair. It always surprises me how what sounds like a simple household task can easily eat up five hours and three trips to the hardware store.
