It's been a long summer and not what was expected or wanted. My reluctant leap back into officiating soccer 23yrs off of officiating, and taking on the role as Club Head Referee has proved to be a second full time job (which was not supposed to happen!). However, when you do your best job possible and there's an extreme shortage of referees, you end up being called upon WAY more than you'd like. It's consumed me and taken my summer of 2022 away from me. Granted there are some positives to being involved with the game again since my retirement, I'm happy to just stick to coaching next season and have a life again.
That being said - I'm heading into the tipping point this coming weekend and next, with two big tournaments followed by a few more games to close out my season (and reffing career).
I'm exhausted.
Anxious to put my time and energy into myself, my family and my (real) work again.
Feeling as ready for the change as I am, it seemed like the perfect timing to make a purchase.
The Viticulture Wine Crate will be on it's way soon! To continue my most recent purchases of organizers, this one is even better!! Not only does it house ALL Viticulture components (base game and expansions) but this special also includes the latest co-op expansion Viticulture World.
I plan to purchase ALL Viticulture expansions most likely by the end of the year. So it just made sense to grab this deal now from Stonemaier's Canadian website so I not only have the storage, but also can grab a copy of the latest expansion for this great game! 😁
Whoa! It looks like real wood! Is it? Either way, it's totally awesome, Derek. It's very cool that you volunteer so much of your time, but I'm sure you'll enjoy your upcoming, and well deserved 'retirement'. 🙂
