Saturday

Dana is at the grocery store.  By herself.  With a cane.  So there's that.  A victory.  

She is obviously doing much better.  The Ortho doc saw her most recent xray and proclaimed that her cracked bone was growing back together (aka - fuzzy stuff on the xray - the way it always looks to me).  And she is in much less pain.  So now it is about getting stronger and regrowing her resiliance.

And I finally had to replace my cycling shoes.  The ones I had disintegrated last time I rode them. They were about 20 years old and had maybe 5000 miles on them.  Got my money's worth.

The big problem is finding shoes that are wide enough for me.  Cycling people are tiny and have tiny feet.   The last that was used for the shoes I finally received last night was a special wide one for people like me.  I'd already bought and returned one 'wide' sized shoe.  The pair I got last night feels right.  I'll give them a run tomorrow.  I can tell a huge difference on the pickleball court now I've been riding.  Much better balance.  And I've not done much.

We did have a good group this morning playing PB.  I was the only male there but I knew everyone in the group and they are about the same level as me so it was competitive.  And fun.  I won some and lost some and played for most of two hours.

Not much else going on today.  I do need to catch up on some sleep and I need to decide whether to watch the Austin vs Seattle soccer game tonight or in the morning.  It doesn't start here until 9:30 so I'm not sure.  We'll see.  

I'm kind of spinning my wheels waiting for Wimbleton and the Tour de France to start.  The tennis starts Monday.  It is on ESPN+ and I bought three months of that for cheap.  Then the Tour starts on the 6th.  I will watch the first stage and then pick it up in the mountains.  And watch the end.  Always a busy time this time of year.

Now to get serious about the nap.
