Leah gave birth a few days ago and the kids get to go home today so that's why my friend isn't playing.
Everything's fine with them, put given what happened last time Leah gave birth, they just wanted to be precautious.
Once at Stamford Bridge, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room, everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, I take off my necklaces, earrings, bracelet, watch, and my rings, put my jewelry in it's safe then I put my jewelry safe and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit and put my dark brown locs up in a ponytail then I put on my short sleeve lime green undershirt, my warm up top, and I put on my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my red keeper gloves before I head onto the field with the other keepers.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my lime green keeper jersey while Amaka does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so I grab my towel and water bottle then Appa, Socks, and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Jordan then I wait for us to be called out.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow Jordan out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for a few seconds then we head over to our sideline.
Definitely not shaking hands with Chelsea after what happened last game.
Once at our sidelines, we take a starting XI picture, Jordan does the coin toss, we do our team huddle, then I lead Appa and Socks to the bench.
"Stay here pups." I say
Appa and Socks yip and smile at me so I scratch their heads then I jog to my position on the field.
Once I'm at my goal, I hang my towel up on the net, put my water in the net then Mapi and Tierna come over and fist bump me before they head to their spots as Stina kicks off the game.
Annoyingly, Chelsea come out firing and force me to make 7 saves to keep the score 0-0.
Fortunately we come out firing as well and my teammates force the Chelsea keeper to make 6 saves.

FanfictionA letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts. Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message. There is an element of timelessness about letter writing. -Lois Wyse
