What are you doing today, II

[Melensdad]

Between coaching and travel for coaching the past 6 days (travel has been driving, typically 150 to 220 miles daily round trips) I think I just got worn out.

My body was not in pain yesterday but I was sore, just low level aches, but Advil and later in the day Tramdol did not take away the aches. And I was tired. I really needed to go to fencing last night but was determined not to coach, just to talk, do some work, sit and watch. That actually happened. Sat and talked for 45 minutes. Some very light duty work at my workbench for about an hour. Then sat and watched fencing until we locked the door. Came home about 9pm, ate a bratwurst, went to bed and was asleep by 10pm. Work up this morning at 8:15am. That is pretty much a record amount of sleep for me. I usually get in 6 hours on a good day. 10 hours of sleep for me is astonishing.

Feel pretty good this morning, getting ready to go for my 2nd cup of coffee.

Supposed to go to Purdue tonight (160 mile round trip) from 8pm to 11pm but I'm going to stay home. No coaching today. Got to rest up for a long weekend with foster son Kobe, he is approaching 5 years old and is full of energy, so I need to rest up for him.

My next coaching will be a short day, Northwestern University, Saturday, morning thru lunch. I should be home by 3:30pm.

Started feeling lousy Tuesday afternoon.
Influenza A.
This can go away!
It's particularly nasty this year.

There is so much different crap going around seems like everyone I know has something.

I spent 2 hours outside the police station this morning with my son waiting to file his accident report. Apparently they need the vehicle to take measurements etc. We had basically signed the back of the ownership when the tow company picked it up as they just take them to the scrap yard at that age. So, I called the tow company who said they'd bring it over to the police station this afternoon.

Then I headed to home depot to pick up some wood for a project at home. I have been working on framing family pictures recently. We wanted a nice place to display them. Here's what I came up with in my head while standing at the wood at home depot. I still have to sand and stain. And build the other side. They'll be mounted about 6" higher than that.
