She’s back, Up and down

I was happy to see when I got back home yesterday that the fog that Elsa was still under in the morning had finally cleared. She seemed more or less normal when I walked in the door. It felt good to have her back to normal. I gave her extra food last night to celebrate since she only ate once the day before.

Last night I played volleyball. My team of three did pretty well, going 4-2 on the night but I could have played better. Nothing frustrates me more than if I get a decent set and I hit it into the net, which happened at least a half dozen times, if not more. Although my knees genuinely suck I think most of it is in my head. The reality is with my height and wingspan I can jump very little and should still be able to hit ok if I hit with a high hand with good wrist snap. I probably should practice more if I want to clean that part of my game up.

I do take a degree of pride with my willingness to literally throw my body around the court, stupidly at times. There were multiple instances of my going horizontal trying to chase down balls. They usually result in sand getting in my face or hair as well as impacting my shoulders in ways that are not recommended at 56 years old, oh well. After play I enjoyed a low key dinner at Carrabas with the bartender Helen. It’s always nice to see her.

This weekend I have a fluid schedule which is my normal preference. We will see where it leads me.
