Recovering from Trivia Weekend and other Things

Whew, what a weekend it was. We had lined up the McCallister's to watch Libby for us so that we could play. Got to R & K's house to set up and the feed from KVSC was down just as the contest was about to start! Just in time, it was up again and after a few technical difficulties on their end, it was off and running. I did not get to stay late on Friday. When I picked up Libby, she was on the goofy side of goofy. She had followed Ava around and imitated her the whole evening. While Ava was at first flattered, she did become weary. However, Libby was given high marks for being very happy and sweet the whole stay. When I got home, I had a bit of a headache and did not feel well. Unfortunately, this lasted through the night. The next day I was debating what to do when Cathy called to say they were sick in her house and could not watch Libby. Within 1/2 hour, I knew I was to sick to watch her myself and with heavy heart called Eric to ask him to come home. I was very sick all day. Eric took Libby and Maddy to Como for the day. He and Libby then went to Marc and Teri's for dinner that evening. I slept. Thankfully, when Sunday morning came, I felt much better and so did the McCallister's. They were more than happy to watch Libby. I got to finish out the last 8 hours with my team. It was harrowing. Thankfully, I play with some amazing people. At hour 46, they go to blackout, meaning you no longer know your ranking until the awards ceremony. We were sure we had slipped a bit the last few hours. Imagine our happiness when we finished in 9th place!

Poor Eric had to work today and Libby is a ball of energy, so I am not able to really settle down, myself. It always takes a few days to recover from Trivia, and yet we are looking forward to next year, already!
