The week from hell

If you see me around town with a dazed look on my face, just walk on by. Don't say a word because I probably don't see you and definitely won't hear you.
This week is going to be week that sends me into retirement.
Monday, I covered El Dorado's girls in the Simmons First Oil Belt Tournament. The Lady Wildcats are good but watching them stone Dollarway 35-0 in the first quarter was not pleasant.
Monday night, I started feeling the beginnings of an illness. Great!
Tonight, I'm off to Norphlet to watch the Lady Leopards take on Strong. These are potentially the two top girls teams in the conference so it's a game I need to see. Unfortunately, a few miles away Parkers Chapel takes on Nevada in a game I'd like to see as well. Dadgummit.
Wednesday, I have a trip to Magnolia planned to watch the Lady Trojans in the SAU Tournament.
On Thursday, it's back to El Dorado for another tournament game. El Dorado vs Neville should be much more entertaining than Monday's debacle.
When Friday gets here, hopefully I'll go back to Magnolia to see Parkers Chapel take on Magnolia. That would be worth the drive as the Lady Trojans would play their third game in four days.
Let's see, Saturday is the 6A State championship football game. I told you guys El Dorado's football team was the real deal. The Wildcats face Pine Bluff at noon at War Memorial Stadium. Find a way, boys.
If I hustle, I can make it back to Union County in time to watch the finals of El Dorado's basketball tournament Saturday evening. Lest we forget, SAU's tournament will also crown a champion Saturday night.
Obviously, I'm going to miss some things this week that I'd really like to see. I'm slurping NyQuil and popping DayQuil pills along with orange juice so hopefully I can make as many events as possible.
So, if you see me and speak to me and I don't speak back. Don't hold it against me. I'm actually working this week and my body might not be used to it.
