Day 41: The Queasy Stomach

So it's Day 41 and I'm hungry, queasy, unsettled, anxious, and just feeling a bit off.  I did talk to Patrick about it and it seems that this type of feeling I'm experiencing is normal when the stomach is shrinking.  The feeling does go away after I eat but man, oh man, as soon as my body burns through the food I intake, that feeling returns.  And it sucks, so much!!!  Luckily this is supposed to go away in about 10 days.  10 days...so that means for me...15-20 days since my body is a fighter and it inherited my dad's stubbornness.  Blech!  Blech!  Blech!

Other news in the land of fish, I got complimented on my style of coaching this past weekend, which ultimately landed me a new player to give personal volleyball training sessions to.  YAY!  The conversation went like this,

Player's Mom: "You are so good at getting the kids attention and running these all skills volleyball clinics.  And you enforce discipline.  Are you a mom?"
Me: "Thank you!  But no, I'm not a mom."
Player's Mom: "Are you a teacher?"
Me: "No, I'm not a teacher.  Just been coaching for about 15 years and love to give back to the sport that's been so good to me."
Player's Mom: "Well you are really great at coaching and teaching the skills of volleyball.  Do you do personal training sessions?"
Me: "Of course!"

I don't know why, but being asked if I was a mom or if I was a teacher seemed like a huge compliment to me.  Maybe it's time for a career change.  I have always enjoyed coaching volleyball.  It's just nice when people can see that passion and express appreciation for it.
