Go or No?

SUMMARY: At home, not at trial.

Going to an agility trial was SO not going to happen this morning; after a much-interrupted night, I was unable to leave safe dashing distance of the facilities from about 4 a.m. until 7:30 or so. Finally got an hour and a half more sleep.

I've lost 3 lbs in a day, undoubtedly mostly fluid loss.

Then spent an hour slowly consuming 7-up and pretzels. "Clear liquids" are on the diet list, but I opted for pretzels rather than toast for my craving for salt. So far so good.

I'm a bit wiped out. But Full House is the last class of the day--I could still get there for that! Maybe I'll try calling a couple of people and finding out how far through the schedule they are, and go down just for that after another nap.

I'm thinking about this--I think that this is the first time in 14 years, 200-some-odd trials, that I've missed one because of my own illness. If I were a major-league baseball or football player, that would be making news.
