It was officially time for the party, and, as usual, no one was happier about it than Sunshine. Making her way across the sand as the group walked to the party, she looked out over the ocean. God how she loved the smell and sound of the sea. How the waves crashed against the rocks, and the sea foam looked like lace upon the dark water. Some people identified themselves with an earthly element. Most of those people always told you that they were fire. If you were to ask Sable which element she identified with, it would be water. Calm, steady and beautiful - yet intimidating, cruel and harsh all the same. Not that anyone as tiny as her could really be intimidating, but still. 

Upon arriving, she mixed in with the rest of the crowd that was already there, not bothering to give anyone from the beach house a second thought. Perhaps that was a tad rude, but Sunshine was ready to have fun. Besides, she'd check in on Finn from time to time, and no doubt that she and Spice were going to cause a dancing scene. Making her way over to the table, she would quickly find a bottle of tequila, open it, and pour herself a small sip before drinking it. Tonight was bound to be fun.

He will be fine.

My son has a history of headaches. I can never tell if they are real or if he is faking just to get out of doing something he doesn't want to do. For me and my son it is always a "Boy who cried wolf" scenario. When he was in 2nd Grade, he told me he wanted to play football. I didn't want him to, because I didn't want to risk him getting a concussion. I told him he could play football when he got to Middle School. He is 12 years old in 6th grade now.

My son is also a black belt in Kempo Karate. He is a fast runner, he is quick on his feet and has great endurance. He would make a good running back, but on top of that I have been training him to be a receiver for years. We play catch all the time. The first week of practice, he never dropped a ball. But the local youth football teams changed authorities. It used to be that all players were grouped according to size; weight. This year, the rules changed and they are grouped by age/grade. My son is 4' 9" and weighs 93 Lbs. He is the 3rd smallest kid on the team. The average player on the team is 5'2" and weighs 110 or 120 Lbs. With his proven abilities and skills and his size relative to the rest of the team, they assigned him to be an Offensive Lineman. Wow!

My son went home crying that night. Everyone on the line is larger than him. I watch him in practice and in games. He is always overwhelmed, but he keeps fighting.

Wednesday night, he took a hard hit in practice, but he never complained about anything out of the ordinary. Yea, he said he had a headache, but that is common place with this kid. He always has a headache. See the second sentence of my post. Thursday, his black belt class in Karate was sparring. His partner was apparently wailing on him pretty badly. He took three hard hits to the head. When Karate was over, he was crying. He complained of a headache and being dizzy. He is always trying to get out of football because of his size and the fact that he always gets overwhelmed. I assumed he was faking it and gave him a ration of shit. I let him talk to his mom who works in healthcare. I have no clue when it comes to health matters. It is not my lane. I'm a soldier. 

We kept him home from football practice Thursday night and home from school on Friday. The wife took him to the doctor's office and they diagnosed him with a mild concussion; no sports for a week or more and no school until his headaches dissipate. He goes back to school tomorrow and I feel like an ass. :/@Gunther

No reason to feel like an ass. You were doing what you thought was right based on past experiences. That's all anyone can do, especially in the case of a parent. I'm glade he's okay thought. Also, I'm not sure if I've ever told you this or not - but thank you for your service.

Everyone has an accent they could listen to all day. For me, those would be Australian, Scottish (lasses with Scottish accents mmf), and British (I don't know which specifically, but an accent like Keira Knightly's is the one that comes to mind). Love hearing ladies speak like that.@Jett Ryu

My favorite accent to date would probably be British. It's no big secret that 'foreign' accents make my American heart nearly stop beating. 

Anyways, for my fact.... I hate using a hair dryer to dry my hair. It drives me nuts. Why, you ask? 
-Because it makes me hot
-I have a shit ton of hair. It's long, it's thick. It's a lot of hair, okay? Just thank the gods it's straight. 
-It makes my hair straighter than what it already is. 
-It also makes my hair frizzier than what it is. 
-It wastes power. 
On the other hand, the only benefit is that it saves time and makes it easier to deal with through out the day. Blow drying my hair is essentially the same as using a hair straightener for me. 

I usually just towel dry it until it stops dripping everywhere and then let it do the rest on its own.
