I have a pretty bad stomach bug that started on Saturday night. My family and I had a great opportunity to go to the playoff game to see the Tampa Bay Rays play to Boston Rad Sox. I was feeling fine when we left for the game and even when we got there.

We ate at a nice restaurant in Tropicana Field and had time to do a few things before we went to our seats. We visited the Rays feeding tank, looked at some of the shops, and watched lots of the fans who were in all kinds of makeup, wearing Rayhawks (mohawks), ringing cowbells, etc. We felt like we were on one of our Disney vacations with all of the site we saw!

The game was great. It was well played and the score was going back and forth. It ended up being a tied game. But that time, it was past midnight and that’s when I started to feel sick. My head was pounding, my throat hurt and my stomach was upset.

I thought I was overtired and did too much yelling. The noise of cowbells and the crowd didn’t help much. But I soon learned that it was more than that. We didn’t get home until 4 AM and part of it was due to my husband having to stop for me to umm, get sick on the side of the road.

I’ve been sick since and with all of the other illnesses I have I need to get back to bed and sleep. I’m glad I got to enjoy the game and didn’t ruin it for my family.

I’ll be visiting your blogs soon and writing more in the next few days, after I’m alll better.
