Thursday, February 5

4:30 a.m. - Yesterday was busy...lots of little things to do.  Last night we had a game at Orion, and it wasn't a very good game, but it was a quick game.  Then I came home and the Illini crushed Northwestern.  

Today I'm supposed to have an admin meeting, but I have to cover second grade until a substitute can arrive.  So I'm hoping to get through the day and then get to games again today at Monmouth-Roseville.

Wednesday, February 4

9:10 a.m. -  I'm just getting to this today.  I slept in a bit since Amber wasn't going to go to school because she is now sick.

Yesterday was rough, but I got through it.  I still felt like crud, and the knee still hurt, but I trudged on and got through a school day and then got through two games at East Moline Christian.  I did get some ice on my knee when I got home, which seemed to help.  The knee wasn't great, but I got through it.

Today...survive and move on.  I have one game at Orion tonight, which will be good for the knee.

4:56 a.m. - I stayed home yesterday, and I slept most of the day.  I was worried I wouldn't sleep last night, but I slept through the night too.  

I'm going to school today, even though I would like to stay home again and just get more rest - both for my cough I have and for my leg that is still hurting.
