I went into this weekend knowing that I had a LOT going on, and it was a little crazy to try to be in a million places, but I live for being really busy.

I had a “pre” weekend outing on Thursday with a group of friends.  We went down to Westport for live music, so it made for a late night.  The next morning I drank a lot of coffee so that I could stay a wake for my busy day. 

I tried to finish work as soon as I could so that I could run errands and be ready by the time my friend was going to pick me up at 3:00 to go out to the K.  We had to meet with the sales staff to finish up some details for an event that we are hosting out there in a couple of weeks. 

After we took care of our business, my friend dropped me off so that I could wait on another friend to come and pick me up so that we could go back to the stadium for the Royals vs Twins game at 7:00. 

The game was AWESOME….nice weather, lots of trips to the concession stands, and post game fireworks.

We got home and I went straight to bed as I had an early morning ahead…the plan was to drive to Manhattan for KSU’s Open House, go to my cousin’s wedding in the afternoon, and then head to the KSU Spring Game on Saturday evening. 

Well…I woke up at about 2:00 am and was sick the rest of the night and didn’t go to bed until I was scheduled to be up to pick up my friends for the trip to Manhattan. I normally eat a lot of steamed and raw veggies and lean proteins, so I think the combination of the pastries that I ate Friday morning and all of the random concession stand food at the game really did a number on my stomach…ugh.

I decided the only thing I could do was stay in bed and get some rest, so I called my friends and told them to go to Manhattan without me and I also called Grandma and told her to head to the wedding without me.  I was SUPER disappointed….

I felt well enough to make it to the game Saturday evening and was able to bring my friends back to Kansas City afterward. 

Again, I went straight to bed because I had to be up early again, as my friend was picking me up at 6:20 so that we could head to a 4 mile race that we were running.  I was pretty nervous as I hadn’t been feeling well or eating , drinking, or sleeping properly…but, I still managed to get up and run the four miles…well I ran most of the time and walked a bit too….

After the run a few of us met up for brunch.  I went home and finally crashed.  I love staying busy, but my body doesn’t always love it!

I’ve got to do some laundry and a few other things and I think I will be ready for the week!
