There are three people who tend to show up whenever and cannot be counted on.....they may or may not be there on any given evening. That leaves 5 of us that are actually dedicated to playing our set schedule (and one of whom can only make it out to certain games due to work). We have some strong players and a few weak ones....when you only have 4 people playing a game at least you have a chance with 4 strong players.....throw in a weak one and it's game over. This season has been appalling in the score department and now I'm finding our morale to be non existent. To be honest I don't even feel like playing anymore.....what's the point? We've had two forfeits due to lack of players and if we have one more we are out of the league for the season. (For the record I'm one of the stronger players :)
I am debating about asking a friend to come out this weekend just in case we need an extra body. The one girl told me she would let me know if we need anyone....I might just bring him anyway. Telling me at 6pm that we need an extra person for 7pm doesn't quite cut it. Another girl had a couple of friends that wanted to play when we first started the season but she told them we had too many at the time. I told her to ask them to come out now as it can't hurt us in any way. Who knows, maybe they will be good!!
My somber mood certainly has not been helped by my failing immune system....yes folks I have a cold. I feel like absolute shit today. I have a fever, glassy eyes, stuffy nose.....my head feels like a bowling ball blah blah. I have however been fortunate enough to sleep most of the day away. I feel like one of those commercials, you know the "sneezing, achy, watery eyes, congestion" ones for medication. I'll certainly live....but I can't wait for today to end as I will feel ten times better tomorrow due to my current over medicated/lethargic state. Sleep and meds make the world go round don't cha know!!

Get better real soon, 'kay.
Awhh that sucks about your Volleyball team. Don't be too hard on the weak player. I think I was the weakest on my dodgeball team (god that's pathetic) and I tried so hard and never missed a game! But yea totally bring your friend. Screw what the rest of the team thinks.
I think I'm coming down with a cold too....gonna rest up tonight!
Is it me or have you been sick most of this winter? I think you may need to move somewhere warm and dry. See if the government will pay for it, it's for your health.
thats sports teams for ya!
I take a 500 mg vitamic C every day. it boosts your immune system. hang in there buddy!
WIGSF, I'm trying.
Rawbean, I've never been hard on her ever, I keep my mouth shut. I could see if she tried and sucked that would be cool only she doesn't try. If the ball is an inch away from where her arm is outstretched she won't move to hit it. She'll let it drop to the floor and shrug.
Scott, seriously dude I'm normally one of those people that never gets sick....but this year...it's been brutal.
Yrautca, you know I used to take a powdered vitamin that was tres pricey...I should really just dish out and get a cheapola multi.
I'm so sorry you're sick :(
If you have a fever, it sounds like the flu. Anyway, if I were up there, I could help you out with volleyball. I'd love it!
Dr Wiwille says it's the reality television that's making you queasy. Get better soon.
JLee, I wish I had more close friends that enjoyed playing. A few do but they have wacky work schedules.
Wiwille, Ha! Touche my friend, touche!
