Well it was rainy and a chilly morning to start the day on Thursday and it didn't get much out of the high 50's until late afternoon when it hit 61 with some sunshine. I started the day with my usual well before 6 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. We now have my grand daughter Ava to add so keep her prayed up for healing as she was injured yesterday in a basket game at school when her and another played clashed heads causing severe pain to the area above her left eye. She immediately left the game after having a great start and was sidelined the rest of the game from the second quarter. They took her to have her eye examined and eventually and cat scan and she does have a concussion, so she will not be playing for awhile.
I headed out for pickle ball a little before 8 and got in two hours of great play with plenty of exercise and left with a wet shirt. I had driven to the REC due to the rain and the cool temps and glad I did as the rain was steady and I'm experiencing a little chest congestion. The gym floor at the school was recently done over and the smell from the coating has made this chest congestion worst this morning. I'm coughing a little but it all clear so I'm sure it the smell from the floor coating which is polyurethane and it was very strong. We left after Ava's team won by close to 50 points despite her not playing for over half the game.
This is a 3 day tournament featuring both boy and girls varsities from as far away as Georgia and south Florida. We came back around 4'ish to watch some of the boys play for an hour or so after having an early supper but the smell and the noise from some of the fans were annoying so we left before dark. I observed a small rat out in the yard while we were eating supper and this determined what has been eating on my garden plants. All of the rat poison I had put out the night before was gone so I added more poison in hopes to wipe out the whole family as the one we saw was rather small.
Ava and Tyler were still at the ER getting their final evaluations for her when I decided to hit the shower and watch a little NFL before lights out at 10, LATER
