Well Monday was chilly to start with and the stiff breeze kept it cool despite the bright sunshine at times had me sweating on the outside pickle ball court. I did play outside for about an hour or so after playing a couple games inside with all the beginners and intermediates at first, but soon they became too many, so 6 of us advanced players headed out doors to play.
I had started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout which is when my body tells me its time to get up which was with my usual DST schedule, so now I'm back to where I was before we sprang forward. Its crazy how your body adjusts but mine never did as I always awakened around 5 and now its 6 ish or a little before, oh well. I did my usual routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing. All on my regular list which is growing by day it seems are holding, but I'm still saddened by an old LEO friend who passed a couple days ago who was much younger than I.
I headed out on my bike to the REC for a couple hours of play, most of it was outside which is a totally different game when playing not only an opponent, but the elements especially the wind. I got in a good workout after being off basically for a whole week except one Friday. It was fun and I was whupped by the time I left a little before 10. Nancy had to be in St.Pete for a doctors appointment with a chiropractor to straighten out her "whatever" which is expensive and not covered my medicare or our insurance, oh well. She was feeling alright but went ahead with the treatment and now has to go back again on Friday.
We came home and had some lunch then I hand watered the gardens and harvested a mess of sugar peas. The wind has been terrific here and had blown over the pea vines clinging to the fence and one of the plants had died and started to turn brown, but the other vines ones are still producing. One of the tomato plants which had grown to the top of the fence also had been blown over so I tied it up. I piddled around in the gardens then headed in to spent the afternoon on the laptop watching the war in Israel and some "off the grid" videos until supper time.
Amy came by and I gave her a check for Ava's new used vehicle she needs now that she will be driving to school next year. I promised her when she was a kid I would but her a car and now that time has come. She is a beautiful sweet young lady and deserves some help with getting some wheels. I just hope she stays safe and not be like some kids her age and abuses that privilege with wild driving. I saw so much of that as a trooper and some times it wasn't good with kids her age, LATER
