OMGWTFPOLYGRAPH
So, yeah. A week and a half until my poly. Strange how knowing it was coming (in the abstract) didn't make me nervous at all, because I really have nothing to hide; but knowing it's coming (in the concrete, and when) has got me chewing my lip a little anxiously. Eeeee, polygraph! [fret] Fortunately, it's at 12:30 in the afternoon, so I don't have to bust my ass to get to who-knows-where before I'd normally even be at work.
In other news, my knee has been bothering me since Saturday, and unsurprisingly last night at curling was worse than Sunday or Monday. But then having had four ibuprofen before the seventh end and four more before I went to bed, I woke up this morning and it didn't hurt, and you know how when you've had hiccups for a long time and then they go away it feels strange to be able to breathe normally? This is, like, it feels wrong to me that my right knee is not in pain. But then it seized up a bit in the car on the way to work, so now it aches a little and all is well. ;-)
Nuttiest game I've played in a long time, last night. For a start, skip RB was there, which is like not normal -- she came in the door, and I blinked and looked at my watch and she said "Yeah, the Senate's not in session", and we all went "aha." Anyway: the women's challenge team of RB, RS, self, and KS won the toss, and faced the team of SMcM, VC,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
insptr_penguin, and SF. We took three in the first. They took three in the second. We took one in the third (an end in which at least fifteen, if not all sixteen, stones were in play -- and in the top of the house or out front -- by the finish, and which took forever). They took one in the fourth. We took three in the fifth. They took two in the sixth. We took two in the seventh. So we were three up coming home without the hammer, and we played a pretty stupid eighth end, with the result that S was drawing for four to win. And she came up short and wrecked on her own guard. I'm pretty sure I said "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" before hollering at her sweepers to split the guard and the shooter on. AUGH. All eight of us were willing to call it a tie, but league rules say there has to be a decision, so we played a half-end, and we won. CRAZY.
And today we're off to the Kayser. Hurrah!
