Season is over (thankfully)

Well, for both my teams, the first half of the season (which they call the fall season) is over. For one team it is a welcome break. Suspensions, half the team never showing up, going 0-8-2.....
One of the things i don't understand is that if you pay that much money, but then only show up for 2-3 games, what the hell is the point of that? granted, its their right to do that, but jeez, maybe I'll start a team and no one shows up and i keep that money? LOL
the last game, we had 8 skaters, again, and we lost 9-2. It gets so frustrating when i make the first 3 saves, only to have the other team have 4 skaters basically on top of me and finally put it in. Makes me wanna scream at my defense and ask them just where the hell they are and why do they think they get to sit and watch? Oh well, its fun, and i HOPE its at least making me better. We don't have another game until January sometime, which is a nice break.
The other team, well, we ended the season by tying. Again. But at least when we played the top teams, we either lost by 1 or tied, so its a lot of fun. I really need to work on centering myself on the puck when they shoot (again). We start the second season in a week. Sigh.
After a long decision making process, and much mental exertion, i have decided to take the entire summer AND winter off next year to allow my back to hopefully heal somewhat. Doctor told me i have a partially torn disk, bulging disk that pushes on a couple nerves, and arthritis, so after the 3 on 3 tourney in march, i am going to take a break until the following march.

have a job interview tomorrow (actually, i think 2) so wish me luck!
