Auburn hosts Maryland gymnasts

Think Pink! Flip for the cure!

I’m not feeling any better, really. Mostly because I can’t sleep, I think. I wake myself up coughing and then 30 minutes later I wake up looking for handkerchiefs. So, this evening, it was time for the gymnastics meet and The Yankee said “Do you even want to go?”

Since it is just the sinuses I can not-breathe there as well as I can here. And, besides, this was the big fundraiser event.

Also, we had to see if Auburn could score 196+ for the sixth time in a row. They did. That’s a program record and even if you know as little about gymnastics as I do, it is an impressive record.

Even more impressive, the gymnast who won her fourth all-around of the season is only a freshman. The ladies are ranked 11th, the highest they’ve been in four years. They set a program-record high score just last week. There’s a big future ahead for this program.

There are video highlights in that link. I’d share them here, but the athletic department has chosen not to write an embed code for them.

We had pizza tonight, which was not as good as breakfast was this morning. This has been a strange little illness when it comes to food. I’ve maintained my appetite, but I’ve found nothing especially interesting to eat all week, except for breakfast this morning. I’d been looking forward to that for days. And it was delicious.

Now I’m going to see if I can break my streak of two consecutive nights of tossing and turning.

Happy weekend!
