GO IRISH! BEAT MICHIGAN!

Today was rather blah. I didn't feel great again. It was mostly wooziness plus some lingering weirdness from yesterday, and the headaches were worse (mainly just more frequent). I napped for a bit last night, then was up until 10AM or so. I thought I was too out of it to shower, but ended up being able to take one or else I'd have been in bed sooner. I'd planned on getting up at 4PM to take my meds, then see how I felt. I still wasn't up to being around and about, so figured I'd sleep until dinner. My parents just fixed themselves breakfast, so didn't call me to eat (which is fine--I don't expect them to cook for me, and I wouldn't have wanted what they made, anyway). I finally got up around 9PM.

I mostly just sat here messing around online, kinda sorta watching college football. The end of the West Virginia/Marshall game was crazy, with WVU coming back, down 15 with 10 minutes to go to tie the game, then winning in OT. They had two 90+ yard TD drives to even the score, which was nuts. After that, Houston/UTEP had a lot of big plays, but I didn't pay as much attention. I was mostly just going through the motions, waiting awhile so I could go back to bed.

After some food and medicine, I felt a little better, so I decided to try and cut my hair. I've been wanting to do that for a couple weeks, and I'm glad I was able to. I just finished, so I'll be hopping in the shower once I'm done posting this. Aside from not wanting to be so scruffy, cutting my hair sometimes helps with the headaches. I realize that even when it's long for me, I still don't have a lot of hair on my head, but there does seem to be relief when it's shorter. That's an added bonus.

ND vs. Michigan is in a few hours, 3:30PM EDT, NBC/nbcsports.com. I'm really not a fan of Michigan, so it'll be extra nice to beat them. I expect a good game, probably fairly high scoring. The key for us is containing their QB, keeping him in the pocket and not letting him run. I think we'll be alright, but it's always hard to predict games in this rivalry. As long as we stay disciplined, take care of the ball, and tackle well, we'll be fine. GO IRISH!

My dad's coming up from KY (outside of Louisville). I haven't seen him since he was in the hospital a couple years ago, though we've talked on the phone. He came up for my surgery last year, but I was already in the OR when he got there and he left before I woke up the next morning (oh, the family drama...but it didn't bother me too much, though it would have been nice to have seen him). We'll be at my cousin's house, I guess, but I'm not sure exactly what the itinerary entails other than watching the rest of the ND game, and possibly the Colts game on Sunday. I'll probably come back home and sleep here, then hook up with them again in the morning/afternoon.

Mom's been in some pain since her procedure, and it seems to be getting worse. It's looking like she's going to go back to the hospital this (Saturday) morning. She should be OK, but please keep the good vibes coming. Another reason I'd want to come home would be to check on her, and should she and my step-dad still be at the hospital, to take care of the pets. It'll just be easier to be on top of the situation.

GO IRISH!! MUCK FICHIGAN!
