Heading Into Next Week in Life And Times

I finally took the time to watch last night's Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears playoff game highlights on YouTube.  Being that I did not watch the game in any capacity as it was on live, other than seeing that the Bears won, I don't know what happened.  I wanted to see how the Bears would pull this one out.  I'll just say this.  If I'm a Packers fan, I would be livid.  

From what I saw, the impression that I got was that the Bears players were locked-in and focused.  You could just see it on their faces.  They knew what the task was ahead and they looked motivated.  Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams would lead that charge. 

On the other side of the field, Packers' quarterback Jordan Love, to me, looked disinterested and dare I say, scared, and ill-prepared to lead any kind of winning drive.  In the end, his play would all but confirm that, though I will also admit that his receiving corps let him down in the worst way.  That Packers receiving corps is serviceable at best and nowhere near the best group of receivers that the NFL has to offer.  For the record, the best receiving corps in the NFL resides in Cincinnati.  That receiving group in Green Bay is young and the hope is that they'll get better with time, but as of last night, they were just all right.  Average.  Just kind of there.  Of course, maybe Love losing his center didn't help, though I don't know if his starting center remaining upright and healthy does anything in the end.  Maybe it does?  Maybe it doesn't? 

At any rate, the Bears and their fans are riding quite the high after last night's game.  Meanwhile, the Packers may have been exposed as having some problems that they'll need to address this off-season.  At least, they'll have an early start to fix things. 

I worked a little bit today and did my best to be productive.  I try not to overdo it on Sundays, but sometimes, it just can't be helped.  I did what I could.  I know the coming week is going to be busy again and this is another one of those instances where I am not looking forward to it.  I'm just trying to brace for it and try to get as much done as I can, without crumbling, crying, or wilting.  As is the case for me during my work week, my day will start tomorrow at 3:40am.    

I don't think I'll be gaming much this week, because of how hectic it is likely going to be at work.  I may even find myself working from home these next few nights.  Suffice it to say that I might be facing a deadline or two.  Gaming has been slow once again in this new year.  There was a new game, a PS5 digital-only exclusive, that released yesterday.  This game is called "Code Violet" and so far, from what I'm seeing, the game sucks.  That's just as well, I guess.  It was supposed to be a spiritual successor to the Dino Crisis series.  In the end, it looks like I'll be saving a few bucks then.  I've never been against buying a bad video game, but Code Violet might suck too much right now for me to sink any money into it.  Beyond that bad game, I have nothing on my gaming radar.  Dino Crisis was such a good series too.  It's a shame that Capcom didn't just remaster and release any of the games in that series.  Code Violet sucks though.  Oh well. 

I thought I had more to write, but I don't.  That's just as well.  I'm probably fatigued and I don't want to admit it.  I'll be going to bed in about an hour and a half anyway.  I might not feel tired right now, but I know that the minute the lights go out and darkness ensues, I'll be asleep in minutes.  Happens every night.  I fall asleep just like that.  I suppose if there's one thing in life for which I am grateful, it would be that I do not have any sleep challenges. 

I have a myriad of other challenges and problems, I'll admit, but getting to and staying asleep is definitely not one of them. 

My eyes are starting to dry out.  Maybe that's a sign that I'm tired?  Could be...
