This morning’s coffee was on the go again. 2nd crazy early morning this week.
Today, we’re at a robotics scrimmage in Colorado Springs. Scott has been a mentor at DRHS with their robotics club and just accepted an assistant coaching job. Today is the scrimmage leading up to the State Competition in the middle of March.
This is my first time seeing not only a scrimmage but their robot. Something I’m learning: Chaos is just a thing in this robotics team. You wanna know what I’m not okay with… yep, you guessed it… Chaos.
So, I’m just gonna sit in the bleachers and listen to the music of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. There has been a lot of Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Guns & Roses and the like going through the speakers. Not that I mind, I’m amused… like, there’s been nothing from this generation’s era of music.
We are halfway through the scrimmage at this point… DRHS robot… still getting worked on and hasn’t made it out of the pit and onto the playing field. From my very limited understanding… this is semi normal and okay. I have caffeine, so I’m good.
Anyway, I’m here for a bit still, and there are rumors I might get to see my favorite toddler. When in the Springs, I need to see if Caleb and Little Miss Lauryl are available.
The above is what I got written before I got a happy visit…
…I got to see Little Miss! We had fun playing out in the courtyard, where I found out rocks really are a girls best friend and I got to catch up with my friend/ work son. Caleb worked with me at Lakeshore and we became fast friends because of our mutual love of all things geeky. It is so awesome to see him be the best Dad ever! I love this sweet girlie of his so much!
SOMETIMES FAMILY JUST CHOOSES YOU
After playing with Lauryl, it was nap time… I wish I could have gone and taken a nap, too. Lol. But I went back in and was able to watch the team get the robot at least working enough that they were able to drive it on the playing field. So that’s cool. We’re hoping that after a long day of a not working robot and not being able to participate in the components of the scrimmage maybe the kids will have a better focus come next week and get the robot working for the state competition.
So now we’re home. We opted for a tasty dinner consisting of our amazing leftover Tuscan Chicken Pasta that I made on Thursday with a glass of wine for dinner. Which was totally the right call, so tired. We’re both in pj’s, and I’m hoping I’ll be asleep by 9. That would be awesome, right? Considering no matter how hard I try, I’m lucky to be asleep before midnight even if I take my pill by 7.
Yep, tired. I hope you had amazing cups today. Peace, Love and Sleep, my friends ❤️
