The year is 1/12 over - and spring is just around the corner. I can't believe Thursday is already hear. First the good news or the "surprise news." Patrick received from the Blizzard Soccer Club, The Rigel Cole Memorial Trophy. What an amazing honor. This is the fourth year for this trophy. If you get a chance, you can google the young genteman's name. Short story, he was a soccer player for the Blizzards and about 4 or 5 years ago, he was murdered at a house party (stabbed in the neck). Patrick was completely surprised. And it wasn't easy getting him to the soccer dome to get this award. First of all, he had been injured the previous weekend so his hobbyling around on crutches hasn't helped. Then he came to coaching from 4 - 6 and really just worked on homework. His team was then to have a tech session at 8:00-9:30. Well Patrick had originally thought he would go, but after sitting around for the 2 hours during coaching, he decided he just wanted to go home. Great - how was I going to get him to stay or at least get him back there. I looked into my bag of "Mom's magic fibs...) My final answer to him was we had to get to the bank and get some money and repay one of the parents that Patrick had borrowed money from. So Patrick, Stephanie (the girlfriend who was also in on the surprise) and I went to Joey Tomato's. Finally at 7:50 we head back to the soccer center. Tommy stops the tech session and Andy calles Patrick over. The look on Patrick's face was total confusion. But in walking back to the car, he was honored, especially after seeing past recipiants. I was slightly disappointed, except for one player on his team, he didn't get any had shakes of congratulations. I guess that's just a mother's expectation.
So by the time this was all over, I was ready to go home. Let me explain. I discovered yesterday that I believe I have a kidney infection. Yes I self diagnosed, but not without taking into account all the evidence. Both of my sides were sore,like I had pulled muscles - but despite shoveling snow, I hadn't really used a lot of core muscles. Then there was the OMG I have to pee all the time. So that was actually Tuesday night. So I started my healing process. Did a pit of tapping on my kidneys - woke up Wednesday and the pain in my left side was gone, right side was slightly better - a little bit more tapping, a lot of cranberry juice and an lot water and this morning. It is 85 percent better. I called in sick to work last night (to the preschool and the Hamptons) and I think that also contributed to my recovery - just knowing I could take care of me today! It's funny how we as a society react - to everyone I told, there answer was "go see a doctor" a) to make sure and b) get some anti biotics. Now I admit, had it got much worse and lasted really long, that would be have my next option, because I know a kidney infection can be serious. My only problem is getting of the "guilt" of still complaining of my illness, knowing I'm not going the traditional route to fix it!!! Guess I'll just whine to myself. But yeah already feeling 89 percent better.
Off to nap.
