How do I cheer with no voice???

2-13-15

I suppose it’s good I tend to communicate solely with typing in some way.

My voice is toast. I am still benefiting from the NyQuil I think because my congestion seems to be held at some kind of wall. I can feel them firing on the barrier, but for now, the forces have not broken through. Sadly, my throat not only is scratchy, but it feels like someone tried to strangle me, which I am pretty sure didn’t happen so I am not happy with the effects of it.

I am sleepy, but I do know that there was sleep last night. It wasn’t perfect or deep, but it was sleep, which is more than I had the night before. I am planning on another early night tonight so that I can get some good snoozing in before tomorrow’s big day. Luckily I can also get home today and just pack and relax until the boys get home.

Bobby has a couple of paragraphs left, which shouldn’t take too long. I may have him power through them this afternoon so that he has Monday to relax. Of course, I say so he can relax, but in reality it is me that will reap the benefit from this decision.

I had ordered a couple dragon items for game time, but sadly I just checked the tracking information and they will not arrive until Tuesday. Oh well. I did dig out my red dragon hat and I have a necklace so it will just have to do for tomorrow.

Yesterday I had planned on taking a nap when I got home, but I ended up watching the first two episodes of Better Call Saul. As expected, it was brilliant. There also was a release date listed for the final episodes of Mad Men. AMC is a wonderful network.

It is becoming evident that I need to really get cracking on putting my old home videos on to the computer. The song my mom sent me today, April Love, brought back memories in the form of me dancing around and lip-syncing to this song in my bedroom in high school. It is cheese-tastic at its best, but it needs to be dusted off and shared for sure.

Practice was fun last night as we ended up including one of the other teams since their coach had a family emergency to attend to. Lots of kids, but there was something intoxicating about the energy from all the kids. They were all just having a lot of fun, which was great to be a part of.

If all goes well, I am hoping we can leave the field a little early tomorrow so that we can get on the road as soon as possible. Either way, since we don’t have a deadline for getting to the hotel, it will be nice to be able to mostly go leisurely. It will be a fun family weekend!
