Friday, February 28

5:51 a.m. - Survive and advance was never a better motto than this week.  This has been a very, very tough week, and I feel very blessed and appreciative that somehow, some way I was able to get through the week to this point.  I hope the worst is now over, as I finally had a night without multiple messy trips to the restroom last night - the first all week.

I didn't go to school yesterday, and I had messy trips all afternoon.  I had a little breakfast in the morning, and nothing bad immediately happened, but a few hours later "the trips" returned.  My belly was just not letting anything stay in for very long.  I was diligent, though, about getting hydrated, so I just kept drinking water and drinking more water.  At last night's United 1A Girls Sectional, I was still worried about getting sick, but I felt better than the previous night and much better than Tuesday night.  I wasn't nearly as dehydrated, and I could actually enjoy the experience a little instead of just trying to work and watching the clock to see when the game was over.  Last night's game featured one team jumping out early and holding the lead the rest of the game.  The other team got within six or eight in the third quarter, but that was it.  Of course it was a big crowd and there were calls that got the ire of each crowd depending on which way it went, and there were frantic situations with bodies scrambling all over the place.  Those things happen in those situations, though, and it's fun to be part of the action.  

Today is a half-day at school, and that is a welcomed site.  Maybe I can catch up on some things that need my attention.  And then I have the weekend off from officiating (at least so far).  I hope to continue to be able to get my left leg strengthened, to be as prepared as possible for Monday's game at Bureau Valley.  It looks like that game will be between Peoria Notre Dame and Stillman Valley.
