Everyone was rooting for Simone. It wasn't really fair but the team put all the pressure on Simone. The team knew they could screw up and it would not matter because Simone's scores will be so high.  Jordyn Wieber  This reminds me of what happened to Jordyn Wieber in the 2012 London Olympics. The weight was all on her shoulder because she was so amazing and always nailing her routines. Everyone loved Jordan and so did I. She had so many perfect scores throughout 2011 and 2012. But when she got to the Olympics her nerves got to her. Not only did she have so many people, companies, USA gymnastics, coaches and so on putting pressure on her ; she also put pressure on herself too. This caused her to choke. Wieber, sadly didn't qualify for any of the individual all-around events. She did help the team win the gold medal. This is sort of what is happening to Simone right now.  However, Simone Biles did not do well at the Olympic trials both on day one and day two. She seamed off.

It was time to leave my home and get our essential goods. My mom was thinking about doing instacart for Costco, but the items on it seemed a lot more expensive than in the store.  Our plan was to drive by and see how long the line is.

According to the internet, most Costco is only allowing one person per membership card.  I am glad they let me go in with my mom because this allowed up to get in and out a lot faster especially since people are waiting outside to get

Sunday night, I had a pretty good headache but thought nothing of it. Usually every year in Spring I get many headaches due to the weather changing. So I didn't think anything of it. Monday, I woke up with my stomach not being nice to me. I couldn't stop running to the bathroom. TMI Warning!! I didn't have diarrhea, but I kept going and going. I was going at least 5 times every hour and it was a lot of stool every time I went.  I also had bone pain which was really bad. My back pain increased. I checked my temperature because I was having chills but was also sweating too. According to my Thermador, my fever ranged from 99 to 101. Crap. Is this COVID 19? or is this just my stomach with colitis or diverticulosis flare? I tried to g et comfy in my recliner but had a hard time getting comfortable so I went to bed until my back was screaming to get up and go back to the recliner. I did this all day and night on top of running to the bathroom.  My circulation to my feet was
