A Very, Very Long Day

I started my morning with a walk after breakfast while the laundry was doing its thing. I ran some errands after lunch and then headed out to the wrestling tournament.

I find wrestling tournaments are quite brutal for both the wrestler and for the parents who have to sit in bleachers watching for hours. Today's JV Rumble tournament started right after school at 4:00pm and ended around 9:30pm. And then it continues again tomorrow with weigh-ins at 7:00am and wrestling at 9:00am. This is our first 2-day event. The kids are exhausted. They had school yesterday, their league match last night, school today, the tournament afterwards, and then they still need to make it through a long day wrestling tomorrow. It's crazy!

My mouth is not feeling so well today. I know the dry weather is not helping. The back of my mouth is getting a little sore, my tongue burns a bit as well as my lips. I'm going to try the yucky salt/baking soda mouthwash after this post to see if I can heal it up. I'm hoping I don't come down with a cold either. There were a few of our wrestlers as well as other teams with kids sick and coughing. I'm counting on that bone-aching Neulasta shot to keep on shielding me. I'll do my mouthwash and then to bed. Gotta stay well.
