The hand is getting bettere
Sep. 29th, 2024 11:33I played pickleball yesterday even with my cartoon hand. When I got back I did ice it every couple of hours and that fixed a lot. It is still a bit pudgy:
but feels fine and gets a little better every time I ice it. So all in all, not much of a problem and not getting worse. Annoying to be not 30 any more.
Meanwhile, I was waiting for pickleball and doing what I nearly always do, get there early and sit on a bench that faces the rising sun. There is an airport with small planes taking off less than a mile away so I listen and watch them and just chill out for a while. It is one of my favorite places. Yesterday was no different. As I got up to go join the PB group I saw this guy and took his picture with the sun on the far side:
It looks a bit like a sunset picture but it was the reverse. He was very much alive and I left him that way. Even scorpions have a job to do, eating the other bugs. I had never seen one before moving to Texas. Never been stung by one but we pay a service to keep them out of the house and it is worth every penny.
The blueberry muffins, btw, ran out this morning. There were originally 10 of them, I think. They lasted four days. The berries were pretty sour which was different. I'm going to do it next time with frozen ones. Not for a little while, though.
Last night I watched the Georgia/Alabama football game. It was like watching a national championship with Alabama owning the first half and Georgia owning the second. I did not care who won but was watching to enjoy what is less and less available, a good college football game.
Even more fun was my son was watching it too so we chatted on an app while the game was on. He knows a lot more about sports than I do and is, in fact, a ref for high school football. It was fun to watch it with him. We trade comments about the game, his job, refereeing and retirement (his). He's a long way off but at the point where he can leverage the most out of his pension and investments so I keep nudging him. Weird to talk to your son about his retirement.
