People I can Count On

At about 11pm last night, my body was sick. Nothing would stay inside me. I ached and could not sleep because every 45 minutes I found myself in the bathroom hung over the toilet. At first I thought it was food poisoning but after the fever started, I realized I had the flu. Almost 24 hours later, I still feel awful.

It was a disappointing way to be celebrating our district win, home sick. It was even worse that I couldn't go to practice today.

However, I am thankful that my assistant coach Donna and my two JV coaches Janna and Kasey were able to fill in for me. They ran practice. It's the first time in 10 years that I've missed a practice due to illness. I am also thankful for my team and captains who communicated with me throughout the day.

But I am most thankful today for Josh who drove all the way to Meijer this AM for Sprite and Saltines for me to have all day. Tonight he took care of me as well.
