My trip to Houston yesterday was to meet potential foreign investors in a NewCo. I decided not to try and watch or listen to the match until after all events were complete. But I couldn't stand not knowing so I peeked at my phone at halftime. Not good. Bad move. Probably screwed the deal.

After the meet and greet the investors let me know they wanted to view the traveling exhibit of official portraits of former President and Mrs. Obama. While they were listening to the Museum's presentation, I thought I would put myself out of the misery of not knowing the final result. WHAT??? My feet didn't touch the floor for the rest of the day and the evening events and I have no idea how I stifled an immediate scream of pure joy and the resultant escorting from the building. I shall endeavor to improve my fandom.

God, what an experience for you all. Absolutely made up for all Blues everywhere. YOU made this happen. Couldn't be more proud to be a Blue.

UTFT!!!

I decided not to watch. I didn't want to do it to myself so I went to see a band. I was in a right effing grump, checking my phone every 5 mins.


After 60 minutes, the signal went in the venue. I resigned myself to relegation, drank a few and tried to enjoy myself.

Phone started buzzing between songs with messages from my uncle, cousins and a load of blues and I yelled "UP THE FFFFFING TOFFEES!" in the middle of a show.

Stayed up til 2 watching the rerun and was still nervous. Woke up with a knot in my stomach and had to go for a work weekend thing at 6. Spent the morning huddled in the corner of a bus watching highlights and fan videos and just crying loads. We did an 8 mile hike this afternoon which burned off a load of excess adrenaline and there's free ale all evening so bonus!

Sorry for the litany of nonsense but nobody else understands. How you lot at the match survived and are coping today, I'll never know.

Once again, I love you all.
