Sun 19 Apr

I'm thinking I have a cold rather than the onset of allergies, but regardless it doesn't feel pleasant. It was probably beneficial to chill out at home and do virtually nothing yesterday while the Trivia folks were around. I pretty much sat at the computer in my jammies until about 4 pm, then showered, made hamburgers for Dad and I while the kids made a grocery run for their own burgers/brats, and sat at the computer the rest of the day.

Michael did not take my advice and organize what people would bring for Trivia, so they were surprised that they really didn't have food available and had to go buy it. Most kids seem to have brought soda. One girl brought a veggie tray and a bag of baby carrots and one guy brought a bowl of cheddar chex mix and that was it. Probably better that they didn't have constant snacking. I had bought a small bowlful of bulk Reese's mini cups on clearance at the grocery store; those all went but Dad said he was a major consumer there. I made them baked beans to go with their cookout stuff, but I don't think most of them realized they were there. John Loy was out of town and couldn't come; he was usually the one who arrived on Friday with enough food for the whole team for the weekend.

I agreed to let Michael have up to 3 people sleep over last night also if they promised to sleep. They were to be people who would plan to go to church with us this morning. I realized too late that the downside of this was that some slept in the basement so I couldn't get up early and do my exercises. I probably won't get my ballet DVD in today. Not sure how I'll manage to exercise if it rains as it is supposed to. I think there are some folks coming back after lunch today.

I'm leaning toward the allergy theory again as the day wears on, but I guess it really doesn't make any difference since I feel crummy either way. Don't think I'll be finding the energy to exercise today.
