A Letter For Jared 💕

This morning my son and I woke up at about 9:00am. He was going to the indoor playground called Allstars with a friend and his family. They were supposed to be picking him up at about 10:00am. We got up and he wanted me to wet his hair and then dry it and style it. So, we did that and then he got dressed and we went downstairs. My younger daughter was already downstairs when we went down. She was deciding what to have for breakfast. I made my son something to eat. Then I made myself some earl grey tea and some oatmeal. His friend’s mom was running behind, so they didn’t actually end up picking him up until about 11:00am. Once he left, my daughter and I went out quickly. I got her something to eat. Then I went into Sobeys and got some groceries. Then I went home and I wrote a letter to Jared Padalecki. I had already written a poem for him last week, after he, Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins announced that next year is going to be the last season, season 15, of Supernatural. Supernatural is one of my most favourite tv shows and Jared is one of my most favourite people on the planet. He fights against the stigma of depression, suicide, anxiety and self-harm. He came out to the world about his own personal battle with depression and has done so much to raise awareness! He has a huge heart and is a very kind, generous and good man. I posted the poem that I wrote on one of the Jared Padalecki Facebook pages that I follow and I had an overwhelming response!! Over 350 people liked my poem and many people asked if they could copy it and if they could post it on their Instagram pages, etc. A few people said that they are sending Jared a letter with thoughts and letters from a bunch of people and they wanted to know if they could include my poem in their compilation of notes from people. I said that it would be fine. However, others thought that I should send my poem to Jared myself. Since I wrote it to him from me, personally. So, I wrote him a letter to accompany it today and I printed them both, then I went to the post office at the Rexall and I mailed it to his fan mail address. I do hope that he receives it from me first and not a copy of it in some compilation of thoughts/letters from a bunch of Supernatural fans. I know that he would still be reading my poem, but it just wouldn’t be the same…Anyway, once I was finished doing that, I was feeling super tired and nauseous of course, because I’m just always nauseous!! My hubby came home from work and went to the registry to get registration on the Miata. I went upstairs to have a bit of a nap before I had to start supper. By the time I tried, fairly unsuccessfully, to help my daughter with her social homework and then talked to my hubby and oldest daughter. Then my son came home and came upstairs to see if he could go to his friend’s house to watch a movie. I only had about an hour and a half to actually lie down. So, I did that. Then I went downstairs and made some spaghetti for supper. My daughter and I watched another episode of The Queer Eye while we ate. Then I helped her get a big, black mark out of one of the white shirts that she always wears to work. Bleach didn’t work, but my sunlight bar did!! Then she threw it into the washer and had a shower. I went upstairs and played Bounce Off with my son. Then we played a bizarre, made up form of ping pong on the floor!! Finally, we played with his Spider-Man guns that shoot foamy ring things. He knows that I pretty much hate guns, so we only played that last game for 10 minutes before I started getting ready for bed, by letting the dogs out and in and filling up water bottles!! Then we went upstairs and I got him into bed. Then I went on my phone. Now it’s pretty late! I’m super tired! I’m going to get ready for bed now!

A Dramatic Haircut!!

I had another crappy sleep…seems to be the story of my life! My son went on my phone for a while this morning. Then my oldest daughter came upstairs and we all went downstairs together. I made myself some oatmeal and earl grey tea. I also made my son something to eat. Then we got dressed and ready to go and drove to a new walk-in hairdresser in town. My son was just going to get a trim. I jokingly pointed to a photo on the wall and said that he should cut his hair like that. He said hmmm, maybe I will! Then he asked me to search boys haircuts on my phone. So we looked at different hair styles and he picked something completely different from what he’s had forever!! He cut so much hair off!! This first one was at Christmas:

This is after the hairdresser wet his hair, but before she cut anything off, you can sort of see how long it is…

It’s not the best photo of him, but it shows his hair and that’s the whole point!!

Then these next photos show the new hair cut!!!

He looks like a completely different kiddo!! I really love it!! I’m just not used to it! He’s definitely not used to it yet either…he keeps saying things like, “did I really decide to cut all of my hair off mom?” Or “Tell me that I’m just dreaming about this mom!!” I think that he just needs to get used to it. It makes him look more grown up I think! It’s neater too! However, he wants me to take the time to style it every day!! So, we’ll see if I can actually make it look as good as the hairdresser did! Heavens knows that I can never make mine look as good as they do…Once they were finished cutting and styling his hair, I had mine washed and trimmed. Then we went to Shoppers and I picked up my prescription. We went home after that. My hubby and my oldest daughter went to Costco. My younger daughter stayed home with my son and I took the black car to Sobeys. I needed to get salad stuff for supper. I got everything that I needed. Then I went out into the parking lot and had a panic attack because I thought that someone had stolen my van!! I literally walked past the black car 3 times looking for my van – lol😂😂 I was freaking out a bit! Luckily the only person who saw me was a little girl waiting in the back of an suv for her parents (I assume) she was watching me walk back and forth past her vehicle…too funny!! I finally figured it out when I reached into my purse for my van keys to hit the button to honk the horn, to find the van, but first found the car keys!! I was like, oh right!! Duh!! I felt like I was looking forever, but in reality only a couple of minutes actually went by…tee hee!! Anyway, I drove back home and when I got home I put away the few groceries that I bought. I separated the chicken and took it downstairs to put it into the freezer. I checked my laundry while I was down there. My hubby and daughter came home while I was downstairs. They put the Costco groceries away. I came upstairs while they were finishing doing that. Then they emptied and reloaded the dishwasher. Once they finished that, I made supper. We ate supper, however it was a bit late. I didn’t really eat all that much of it, because I just felt far too nauseous. I might just have to go back to my simple meals. My tummy just isn’t happy with most food. It’s just not happy, period! My daughter and I watched a couple more episodes of Queer Eye. One of them was so darn sad. Then mean almost every single episode of that show makes me cry. However, this one got to me from the very beginning, straight through to the end…so very hard to watch. I mean it ends happy, however it’s just full of heart wrenching moments that tug at your emotions. My son isn’t used to having any kind of products in his hair and really wanted it washed before bed. So my daughter quickly helped him have a really fast shower before bed, while I let the dogs out and in an filled up our water bottles. Then I got him ready for bed and into bed. I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed. Fingers crossed that I get more sleep tonight 🤞🏼!

Queer Eye Is Just Great!!

Last night I slept really horribly!! I got hardly any sleep at all!! I heard my younger daughter coughing all night!! This morning, not surprisingly, I ended up sleeping in. My son woke up before me and laid down beside me and went on my phone. He went downstairs after a while. I decided to go downstairs a while after he did. I didn’t really pay attention to the time!! I made him something to eat and I also had something to eat and I had some earl grey tea as well. My oldest daughter had today off. She came upstairs while I was making my tea. She wanted some as well, so I also made some for her!! Then I called our dentist’s office to find out what the cost would you be for my son and younger daughter to have check ups, and cleanings without coverage. I also called Alberta blue cross to see how much more that we would have to be paying to have dental coverage. Then I went to the walk-in dr’s office in town with my younger daughter. It’s the one where you can make appointments earlier online. I made 2 appointments, 1 for my daughter, because she hurt her back at dance last week and 1 for myself, because I am out of my nausea medication. The appointments book up super quickly while you are booking them. So, even though I tried to make them back to back, they definitely weren’t though!! However, when we got there the receptionist/nurse let us go into the examination room together and said that the dr will see us together. We didn’t even wait for very long until the dr came in. She thinks that my daughter pulled and strained some muscles in the middle of her back. She wants her to take the platinum Robaxacet and she’d like her to go to physio. Then she gave me a refill of my nausea medication that I am out of. We left there and went to Sobeys. I picked up all that we needed to make homemade pizzas for supper. Then I went to Shoppers and got my prescription that I called in earlier, the one that the dr just gave me wasn’t ready yet, I also got my daughter some cough medicine, so that hopefully she’s not up coughing all night again!! Then we came back home. I put my pjs back on and then I cut the peppers and mushrooms and grated the cheese. Then I called the kids into the kitchen and they made their own pizzas. We put them into the oven and baked them and then had supper!! My oldest daughter and I watched an episode of Queer Eye while we ate supper. It was a really great one! Although I believe that I say that about every episode of that show!! They all get me in the feels…I was only able to eat 2 slices, my tummy really didn’t like it! I was feeling extremely nauseous!! My son really wanted me play Twister with him, which isn’t the best game to play when you feel sick, but I did promise him! So I played about 4 rounds of Twister with him. Then my daughter and I watched another episode. Then my son had a quick shower, that he certainly needed!! Afterwards, I got him ready for and into bed!! I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get myself ready for bed. I’m just super exhausted and nauseous. I haven’t slept the past couple of nights, so hopefully tonight is better!!

Breath Test

This morning I set my alarm for 10:30. I got up and had a shower. Then my younger daughter, my son and I drove to the city. We had to go to the Allin Clinic. My daughter had a breath test, which tests to see whether or not you have asthma. Her neurologist thinks that she may have asthma and that it could be contributing to her headaches. Once this appointment was finished, we were all feeling really thirsty, so I got us all drinks at Wendy’s on our way home. Then we drove home. I was feeling super exhausted and nauseous, well what else is new!! So, I went upstairs to my bedroom. My son came up with me at first and we played a game together briefly. Then I needed to actually rest for a bit, before I started supper. So he went downstairs. After lying down for a while, my daughter came in and asked for some help. She was rearranging her furniture in her bedroom. So, I helped her do that. Then I went and helped her with that. My hubby was feeling tired, so he cam upstairs and went to bed. I finished helping her with her bedroom, then I went downstairs. I got some chicken breast cooking and then some rice and veggies. I played with my son while everything was cooking. Then we had supper. It was actually pretty darn late to be eating…although it was pretty good!! Afterwards, my son and I played cards for a while. Then I let the dogs out of in. A also filled up our water bottles. Then my daughter came home from work. My son and I went upstairs to get ready for bed!! I’m beat too!!

A Day With My Son…

This morning I just slept in. It was the first day in a while that I didn’t have to set an alarm! My son went on my phone for a while beside me. Then he got up and went downstairs to play Sims with my oldest daughter before she had to go to work. I wasn’t really sleeping when he went downstairs, I was just relaxing. I finally decided to get up and go downstairs. My daughter asked me to make her some rice to take with her to work. She’s able to eat rice without her mouth hurting. She made herself and my son some lunch. Then she had to leave for work. I had something to eat and also had some earl grey tea. Then my son and I played games together for the rest of the afternoon. My hubby came home from work at about 2:30pm. At around 6:15 I drove my daughter to her friend’s house. Then I came back home and made supper. After eating supper, my son and hubby played a video game together. I went on my phone for a while. I went through my old posts looking for some of my old poems. It made me realize that I haven’t written a poem in quite some time…maybe I need to do that in the next couple of days! My hubby had to go to bed early again. My daughter worked until 11:00 and my younger daughter stayed at her friend’s until about the same time. My son and I went upstairs and I got him ready for bed. Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get myself ready as well!!

Great Canadian Dance Challenge Day 4

This morning I woke up at about 8:00am. I didn’t need to shower, because I had a shower before bed last night. So, I just had to get ready to go back to Fort Saskatchewan for the dance competition. My daughter got up earlier than I did, because she has more to do then I do. We left at about 9:15. I got us an unhealthy breakfast at McDonald’s on the way there. My tummy really didn’t enjoy that at all!! I meant to eat prior to leaving, but took my sweet time getting ready this morning and ran out of time…however the McDonald’s was a mistake for my stomach!! When we got there, she headed back to the dressing rooms and then rehearsal hall. I had a while to wait. However, I went into the theatre and watched tap with one of the moms that I really like. It’s the one style of dance that my daughter doesn’t take. It was the class with all of her friends, the one that she would be in if she did take tap. They did really well!! After tap, there was only one category to wait for and then it was their senior 1 lyrical dance. This dance is beautiful this year and so creative!! They have a huge ramp that they have to run up and slide down and hang off of. It’s very clever choreography and worked out perfectly!! It was wonderful to watch!! They did really well! They received high gold and Miss Amanda received another choreographer’s award!! She has received quite a lot at this competition!! After this dance, there was a break for a couple hours before her last dance of the competition. I was texting my mom and we decided to buy the video on USB of my daughter’s solo. So I bought it during this break. One of the guys at the studio had his modern solo during this break and he is an incredible dancer, just a joy to watch. He dances with such abandon and he’s just so very talented. So I went into the theatre to watch him when he was performing. Then, finally, I went in when they were on. It was a ballet category, they were the only pointe group in the category. I thought that they danced beautifully. They did have the more difficult adjudicator. She judged the entire category hard!! She gave every single dance in the category a high silver!! In all of the competitions that I have been to, I have never seen that happen before!! So, we received a high silver! When I spoke with my daughter afterwards, she said that her teacher, Miss Alexis, said that they did great and that she was proud of them. So, it wasn’t just me from a mom’s perspective thinking that they were great and that the judge was out to lunch…I overheard other parents talking, about their groups in the same category and thinking, is that adjudicator crazy?! Is she watching the same dances as we are?! I agree. Not just our dance deserved higher than what they were awarded, others in the category did as well. Competitions have very strict rules and parents are absolutely prohibited from talking to the adjudicators about anything!! Certainly you cannot complain to them!!! You could have your entire studio disqualified from the entire competition!! So, you just have to take whatever the adjudicator says and nod and smile and walk away!! I don’t even really like to complain out loud to other parents. You have to be very careful what you say, you don’t know who’s around you at any given time… I mean we have whispered quietly amongst ourselves, like Friday night after the senior 3 lyrical dance. However, even my daughter and I don’t usually talk about things until we’ve gotten into our van and no one is around to hear us. You don’t want to get your studio into trouble…I do know that I overheard people from pretty much every studio at this weekends competition complaining about that second adjudicator!! So, I think there was a pretty mutual opinion regarding her…Even talking about it on here. I wouldn’t do so if tons of people read this and I was super popular!! However, only my close friends and family read this and maybe 1 or 2 dance people, if even that. Otherwise I’d zip it!! Definitely no one from the competition or who runs the competition even knows that I exist…lol

Anyway, once her pointe was finished, we got something to eat and then drove back home. My tummy was feeling super nauseous and I was exhausted!! So I decided to have a bit of a rest. My hubby was playing a game on the computer and my oldest daughter and son were playing Sims on the Play Station. They hardly even noticed that we got home…I went upstairs to my bedroom and changed into my pjs. Then I got into my bed. I didn’t expect to actually fall asleep, but I did!! I woke up when my hubby came in to see if I had any ideas for supper. I didn’t even feel like eating supper, let alone have any ideas of what to cook for supper!! My oldest daughter is still in quite a bit of pain, her infection is gone though, which is good!! So, my hubby ended up just making something quick for himself and my son and younger daughter. I fell back asleep. After eating my younger daughter went to her friend’s house. I was half awake in bed and my son and daughter continued playing Sims. My hubby came upstairs and fell asleep at around 9:00, since he has to get up early for work tomorrow morning. It’s spring break this week. So my daughter brought my son upstairs a bit later then normally. I went downstairs and let the dogs out out and in and filled up water bottles. I got my son into bed. Then I went on my phone for a while. It’s really a lot later then I wanted to be awake at. So I’m going to get ready for bed now!

Great Canadian Dance Challenge Day 3

This morning I woke up at around 7:15. I actually got out of bed at around 7:30. I didn’t sleep well last night though. I was awake quite a bit throughout the night. So, I was feeling pretty tired this morning. My daughter and I had to get ready to go and we had to get all of our stuff together as well, because we had to check-out also. We left the hotel at approximately 9:00. It was incredibly foggy outside and a bit chillier than it has been the past few days. My daughter’s first dance today was her senior 1 jazz. They did really great!! They received a high gold and also won the choreographers award!! WooHoo!! There was a pretty long break before her next dance. I feel like I should have inquired about late check-out… I could have used a nap! My tummy was not happy and I was feeling super tired!! Oh well. I bought a wrap and a Booster Juice from Booster Juice (obviously, where else would I buy a Booster Juice from…lol!!) Then I sat and did a lot of waiting…I spent a lot of time on my phone! I also tried to look at the photos from her solo, but there was a screw-up around the time of her solo, and the photos didn’t transfer to their computer, so they were all lost!! So, no photos for me to see!! I bought some earl grey tea part way through the break. Finally, at about 4:15, they had their modern dance. This is the dance that they were feeling the most unprepared for. However, they did better then they thought they would and they received gold!! Then their production was in the very next category, no long wait this time!! They did exceptionally great, as they always do for production!! They received high gold, first place and choreographers award!! WooHoo!! This was her last dance of the day. It was about 6:30 by the time she met me in the front lobby. We stopped at the Wendy’s drive thru, yet again, on the way home. Then ate in the van as we drove home. We got home by about 7:30. We brought everything inside the house and upstairs to our rooms. Then I unpacked my bag. Once I finished doing that, I remembered that I had a prescription that I needed to pick up. I was literally completely out of it! I also picked up some eyelash glue for my daughter!! Then I went back home! I got ready for bed. I was feeling super exhausted and ill!! Once I had finished my son came upstairs and I got him ready for bed. Then I wrote this and now I’m going to get ready for bed. I have to get ready to the competition again tomorrow morning.

Great Canadian Dance Challenge Day 2

This morning my daughter and I woke up at about 9:30. We accidentally slept through breakfast…oops! So much for free complimentary breakfast – lol. We got ready to go, she had more to get ready for then I did, obviously!! Then we drove back over to the theatre. Her first dance of the day was her ballet. They did pretty well. They had another prop mishap during this dance. However, this prop isn’t as integral to the dance as the one in last night’s dance. I actually didn’t even notice that the prop fell over until they had all gone off the stage and I saw it lying on the floor…they still received a gold for this dance. They didn’t feel very good about it afterwards however… We had a pretty long break after this dance before she had to dance again. She had to help the kids that she student teaches right after she finished dancing, but then we left the theatre and drove to Subway. We took our food back to our hotel and ate there. After eating I was feeling tired. I actually fell asleep for about an hour or so. My daughter woke me up and then I got dressed again and we went back to the theatre. Her next dance was her senior 3 jazz. They did an amazing job!! They did really really well!! I thought that they were the best in the category and so did the adjudicator, because they received a gold and first in the category!! Yay! We stayed and watched her friend’s hip hop solo. Then I got her Wendy’s again, I still had half of my subway sandwich from this afternoon. We took her food back to the hotel. She only had the 2 dances today. She starts even earlier tomorrow morning. After eating, we just had the tv on in the room and hung out. She went to bed early, because tomorrow will be an earlier start! I’m going to get ready for bed now too!

Great Canadian Dance Challenge Day 1

This morning I had to wake up at 6:10am to drive my daughter to work. I got home and walked into my bedroom literally just as my alarm was going off for the time that my son wanted to go on my phone. He did that for about a half an hour. Then we got him ready for school and I dropped him off. When I got home I had breakfast and I called my daughter’s school and told them that she was going to be at a dance competition today. Then we both got ready to leave. We drove to Fort Saskatchewan, where her first competition is taking place. Her first dance today was her lyrical solo. She did exceptionally well! She truly danced beautifully. I know that I probably sound biased, because I’m her mother, but she has improved significantly since last year. I really enjoyed watching her. She was in the most difficult lyrical solo category for the entire weekend (I guess that she is 16 now & has been dancing since she was quite young and dances more than 9 + hours per week…) and she received a gold!! Yay!! After her solo, we had about an hour and 15 minutes. We quickly drove to our hotel and checked in. (We discovered the other day that my hubby still had points for The Best Western hotels. Enough points that he could get a free night. We decided that the two nights that would be the most helpful to stay over would be Thursday and Friday. It will only end up costing about $60 per night, which makes it quite reasonable!!) We brought our things up to our room and she changed into her hip hop costume and also got her senior 3 lyrical costume ready. Then we had to go back to the theatre. Her next dance was her hip hop group. They also received gold and placed second in their category!! Which was great! She had to go from hip hop directly to rehearsal hall for her lyrical dance, after changing of course! I just waited in the lobby. I actually had a nice talk with one of my favourite moms that I haven’t seen since last year!! Then, when she went for munchies with her husband, I ended up talking with a lady who traveled from Saskatchewan for this competition with her daughter. We actually had a nice talk. Then I went back into the theatre to watch the lyrical. So far, most of us moms had preferred the morning adjudicator to the afternoon/evening one. The latter one seemed to have a way with pointing out individual flaws on stage. This is something that we generally do NOT see adjudicators do. They usually point out things not to do or to improve on to the entire group, but not one by one to each individual, telling them what they do wrong. It was very negative…For this lyrical dance our dancers use a huge prop, almost like a huge piece of fabric, similar to a parachute that kids would play with at camp or in a gym class, but they use it to dance with. It’s really quite beautiful. However, tonight, at one point, when it gets placed at the front of the stage, it accidentally slipped off the front of the stage and down onto the floor by the audience!! So they unfortunately had to complete the rest of the dance without the most important part of the dance in it…The thing is, they barely batted an eye and they kept right on dancing and finished the entire dance…not only did they finish it, but they danced it beautifully!! Some of the dads who were watching said, after the fact, that they thought that it was supposed to happen!! So, when the adjudicator was talking to them she said that wasn’t supposed to happen was it?! And they said no. And she said that they did an excellent job at continuing to dance despite the prop mishap! Then, after praising them, she proceeds to give them a high-silver!! They totally deserved higher than that! People around me, who weren’t from our dance studio gasped in shock! I heard a couple people say “what?!” and someone say “you’ve got to be joking”. None of them were from Amanda’s!” They were the best dance on the stage during that category, hands down and that’s with the prop mishap! I went out to the lobby after adjudication, wondering if I was the only parent who was upset, but I most definitely was not! Everyone was shocked! That she would say, great job at continuing to dance like nothing wrong happened and then giving them such a low score for such a powerful dance…crazy!! She basically saw the prop fall and judged that, period! Oh well! It happens. We can’t be happy with every adjudicator and nothing can be done about it. I’m just glad that I was not the only one who felt that way and that other people from other studios also felt that they were completely misjudged!! Once my daughter came out and met me in the lobby, we talked for a bit with another mom. Then we went back into the theatre with a couple other Amanda people and watched some hip hop solos that my daughter wanted to watch. Afterwards we went through the Wendy’s drive thru. Then we took our food back to our hotel room. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. I didn’t eat all of it, even so, it’s not sitting well in my tummy. I’m still just so darn nauseous. I’m going to get ready for bed. I’m pretty sure that my daughter is sleeping. We have to head back to the theatre bright and early in the morning!!

First Dance Competition Begins Tomorrow…

This morning my son played a game for a while, not as long as some days, then he got ready for school. Once he was ready to go, he made himself and his friend another bracelet, because both of theirs broke. Then I dropped him off at school. Once I got back home from dropping him off I had my breakfast. I got a few things done and I made some phone calls that I needed to make. Then I went upstairs to bed for a couple hours. I didn’t really sleep much, I just kind of relaxed for a bit. My daughter came upstairs at around 1:00. I drove her to Shoppers to pick up her prescriptions and then we picked up my other daughter from her spare. We dropped her off at home. Then we went to No Frills and my daughter picked up a couple of things. We came back home and I cooked some food for my younger daughter, so that she would have some supper at dance tonight. I also started getting together things that I will need for the competition this weekend. At about 3:15 we left for the city. I dropped her off at the studio. Then I stopped at the Walmart to find her a black, crew neck t-shirt for her hip hop costume. I couldn’t find one at first. Finally I found one that went with a set of pjs – lol!! You couldn’t tell that it’s a pj shirt though. It just looks like a black t-shirt, which is what she needs!! So I bought it and she ends up getting a new pair of pj pants out of it!! Then I drove back home! When I got here I made supper for everyone. My daughter had some rice, I had hard boiled eggs and plain toast and I made chicken fillets and tatters for my son and hubby. Then my daughter and I went into her room and I sprayed her rug with carpet cleaner and used hot water and scrubbed the crap out of it where she threw up – hopefully it works this time!! Since it’s the 3rd time that I’ve cleaned it!! She keeps on saying that her room still smells like puke!! I told her that if this doesn’t work she might want to rent an actual carpet cleaner!! Afterwards, I went upstairs to my room and continued getting ready for tomorrow’s dance competition. I like to be prepared for them…At about 8:30 I had to leave to pick up my daughter and her friend from dance. After dropping off her friend, we got gas in the van, because I have to drive my daughter to work at 6:15am again tomorrow and really don’t want to be getting gas that early in the morning…also I went to Shoppers to buy bobby pins for my daughter and some tummy medicine for my oldest daughter. Then we came home. Even though it was almost 10:00pm, my son was still awake! So, I got him to bed! Then I wrote this! I’m going to have a shower before bed and then I will probably try to get some sleep. I really haven’t been sleeping well and I still don’t feel great and I know that this is going to be a long weekend…Competition weekends always are. I do enjoy them, but they’re long and I really wish that I was feeling better!!

Night All! 💤😴
