Sports Junkie

I know sports are important for a lot of people, they bring lots of enjoyment.  I can enjoy a few good games, but I tire of them quickly.  

I am at my mom's, taking care of her while we try to figure out what is wrong.  She has terrible anxiety, much more pronounced at night and can't sleep for several nights in a row before exhaustion takes over.  We'll figure it out.  Soon, I hope!

But in the meantime, I am being saturated with sports games:  baseball- Go Atlanta Braves, and Go Houston Astros.  Then there's basketball - Go Golden State Warriors.  Most of the time I'm on my phone with the game in the background.  

In between sports, she is a game show junkie.   By the end of a day, I'm more than ready for bed!  

They say that sports fans are more gregarious than their peers and that following a sport keeps the brain nimble by encouraging people's minds to process quickly moving information that draws on a system of complex rules.  If thats a true fact, she will probably live another 20+ years!!

I, on the other hand, won't. Because there are too many ads, more junk than the actual sport. But if watching a few sports games makes my mom happy, I guess I can endure just a few more!!
