We lost our Basketball today by one point. And I fell over during the game and banged my knee against my chin, so I've got a big sore bump there and a bitten in half tongue.

I'm a more competitive person than people might think from the outside. I'm not a win at all costs person, and I'm not a bad loser person (I've lost too many games to be that), but I don't like losing. It puts a downer on my day.

Half way through the second half, one of top players, who was hungover and hadn't been playing well at all, was subbed off. I was still playing and didn't see this, but apparently he said, "I ain't playing the rest of the game" and left. Walked out on the team. If he's there at practice on Tuesday, I think I'll confront him on that action. I don't care how good someone is, if they're so caught up in their own performance, I don't want to play with them.

Deb and I had a bit of a fight last night. I think it was during the 2am feeding and nappy change - my mind is hazy in the wee small hours. It stemmed from me being at Basketball today, which effectively stopped us doing anything as it took up the middle of the day. As Deb is still recovering from the caesarean she can't walk much or drive. So she's been effectively housebound for nearly three weeks. She had wanted me to take her into town to go shopping, and I couldn't because of Basketball.

So it was one of those "you don't understand what it's like for me" - "she is being completely unreasonable here" fights. I stormed off back to bed. I'm so mature when I get angry.
