Tennis anyone?

March 14, 2007

Yesterday was a nice warm day – 83 degrees was our high temperature. I didn’t want to waste it so I took a quick walk yesterday afternoon.

Today made it up into the 70’s before the afternoon wild and woolly storms rolled in. So for lunch 3 of us went out and played tennis. I really had a good time even though R kept purposely barely hitting the balls over the net just to watch me scuttle my way up to return them. The whole thing kind of wore me out. Of course that didn’t stop me from hitting up the Wednesday evening cycle class tonight.

All in all a wonderful almost Spring day. Hope yours was as good!

week 7 of the indoor 2 hour cycle class

February 18, 2007

I do believe that the novelty has worn off for the indoor 2 hour cycle class. Thank goodness there is only one class left. Now if the extreme knee pain I am limping along with this evening would do the same, I would be super happy.

Yeah I just may have ramped it up a notch to far today. Funny how one never knows when they have pushed something to far, until after the fact. A wee little insight into the future would sure be nice once in a while, wouldn’t you agree?

Friday nights going away party for our friend went well I suppose. When the kamikazee shots made their way round, at least then I had the foresight to utter a very specific no as to whether I wanted one or not. See! even I learn to avoid things, after many repetitions of course. I never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the pack. Ok so most of the time I am not even in the pack. It’s too crowded anyway.

I understand the friends motivation for wanting to get away… for wanting the opportunity to start over someplace new. And why is it if a fresh out of college person wants to pick up and move, it is understood and accepted, but if a 33 year old wants to do the same it is questioned with loads of skepticism? I wonder about that.

Previously on a different occasion on a different night when we were the only two sitting at the bar, this friend and I spoke in confidence as to her reasons for making this move. And I get it.

And, the other friend and I have also spoken in confidence as well, about why she does not want this friend to move away. And I get it.

My friends have always deposited their thoughts and feelings with me for safe keeping and I have always kept them as such pieces of a puzzle that no one really needs to solve. After 20 years I have a lot of puzzle pieces locked up tight.

Someday perhaps I will hand out some puzzle pieces of my own. But I doubt it.

I am off now to stretch my aching knee caps. Is that possible? Can I really stretch my knee caps? Or would that be a bad thing?
