Wednesday Morning

Well Tuesday was another warm day with high humidity and what initially looked like rain clouds but by noon or so the clouds were gone and the bright sunshine was back. I headed out to the rec. for some pickle ball but some how never loosen up the back muscles and left after about an hour of play with some stiff muscle in the lower back. It was a pain in the back the rest of the day and evening. I even got a massage from Nancy which felt awesome but I think I'll rest the back for a few days from pickle ball, weeding and heavy lifting.

The morning started with my usual routines that include a hot cup of green tea laced with turmeric and fresh ginger while I posted this ramble then lifted up several by name to my Creator for healing. Seems I need to do that for myself for a change. All seem as well as can be expected. I headed out on my bike for some pickle ball but as I mentioned before either I did not stretch long enough or something caused me to strain a back muscle so I left early. I made a stop at the library then headed home to ice the ache before heading out to hand water the gardens. Nancy was shopping and when she got home she gave me a rub down with some analgesic.

I laid around reading until it was time to go to Ava's track meet where she hit the next to last hurdle and bit the track with her knees. She required a bandage later but did get up and finish third. She also did the long jump and threw the discus. She is an athlete to say the least and never complained of her injury. We left there around 5:30 and stopped off at the PDQ eatery for chicken bowls which we brought home for our supper. Afterwards we got ready for our 7 o'clock class which The Blessed Life book is the basis of the class which is very intriguing. Scott and Lori who will be the new campus pastors for the Clearwater launch which will start in March are our leaders. He is a retired fireman and she is still a flight attendant with Southwest Airlines, both are very down to earth, personable folks.

It was going on 9 when we got home and I hit the hot shower to try and loosen up the back muscle which did help and then Nancy gave me another massage. I watched the Fox Cable News until 10 then it was lights out for me, LATER
