Two weeks ago, I was feeling low, low, low...and pretty convinced my Dallas Stars were going to miss the playoffs. They're still not a lock, but as of Monday night, they're two (!!) points behind that 4th place team...with two games in hand...and one more huge game against said 4th place team on Saturday.
Two weeks ago, we were seven points back...
...and as of Monday we're the 5th place team!
Now, last night, they lost, but so did that 4th place team, so we didn't gain or lose ground.
But the boys now have a five game stretch against the teams ahead of us with their remaining two against the team we just passed in the standings. The Nashville Predators (the 4th place team for those keeping score at home) have an easier slate of games, but two fewer left to play. I'm not sure the scales balance proportionately in our favor.
But we're a scrappy bunch and we'll be getting one of our best players back from injury any time now. Will it be soon enough to make a difference? No telling.
While I'll be sooo sad for the team, I'd still be relieved if they didn't make it. I'm thankful last night was the last home game. I'm just tired right now.
But if they do make the playoffs, I'll be cheering them on in person as often as possible.

Overall, I'm feeling a bit better. Mentally and physically; mostly mentally, but physically too.
I'm working on the book again. I'm exercising again. I'm trying eat better again.
I just need to keep making the decisions I need to make...

Hope you're doing well so far this week. Keep on keeping on...
