Thank You Football,...

 Football,... in the end it was football that grounded me and allowed me to mentally declutter all the problems that were whirling around in my head. I had so many things I needed to get done but was getting nothing but hassle trying to accomplish that. 

In the end it took 4 days,... two of those days were nothing but phone calls with customer service agents of several different businesses. One would tell me I had to call this number and that number would say no go on the website. After days of this I was ready to crawl into bed and assume the fetal position and just cry. I felt so drained. Mentally and physically drained.

So this morning after another 2 frustrating calls I turned on football. My friend upstairs lent me her old tv which I have set up in my livingroom. And I put YouTube on and just watched video after video of football. And by the afternoon I was ready to put on my armour and face the task ahead of me.

To go to the Post Office, the Bank, The library and Walmart. And I got everything done I needed to get done. 

I got the damn label printed at the library! And I've had to phone once again to schedule a pick up for Monday. I cannot wait to see the back of that damn tv.

TD Bank took the time to fix me being locked out of my account. I actually brought my laptop with me so she could walk me right through it. So that is done now too. I also sent back the modem to Cogeco so I won't have to pay that $195 lost equipment fee. 

The only thing I didn't accomplish was a bed. Walmart had a couple of those mattress in a box beds I wanted to pick up but I didn't have enough money. I will have to wait until payday. (the 26th) to get it now. So that still sucks but now I am in a much better frame of mind to deal with it.

I also spoke to the Pastor of the Church I want to get involved in. What an awesome guy! We chatted for over an hour. And now that I know someone, I can go to the their service on Sunday and not feel so awkward and out of place. 

But none of this would have happened without football. I don't know if it's becasue I get so distracted with the passion of it but it really did clear my head and allow me to feel stronger to face 'people'.

So Thank you,.... Manchester United FC,... Toronto FC,... Mens Canadian National Team,... Englands National Team,... Wrexham FC,.... somedays you are my Knights in Shining Armour
