Still trying!

Hopeful-Tinkerbell profile image

I had a good weekend. My husband took me shopping for my birthday. We actually didn’t even fight. He was nice. Of course he reminded me he was being nice since it was my birthday. Considering we haven’t gone anywhere together except taking my grandson somewhere twice in over 2 years it was good. He spoiled me. I got lots of stuff. It’s nice when he lets me pick out stuff I actually like. He’s not a gift buyer. He usually gives me cash and tells me to get myself something. If anything. Then he took me out to dinner. That was a treat for us both. The next day I had to go pick up one of my gifts I had to order so he went and so did my son and we got lunch. Then I had to go to work. He didn’t come home last night. Back to reality. That’s what I told him. He said yep.

Tonight my easy sports group played tennis. Obviously I can’t run but I did so good considering. We played games of doubles and my partner and I won 3 out of 4 games. I was so proud. We don’t worry about winning or losing. We were just hitting it back and forth. They had to show me how to hold my racket. I’ve never played. Had to be beginners luck. Anyway we started playing games as a lesson so we could learn how to do it. I loved badminton last week. My arm finally eased up Saturday from playing on Tuesday. Nervous to see how I’ll feel tomorrow. My leg where I broke it and the bones never grew back together is throbbing. A couple times when I had to make a weird angle type hit or missed I laughed so hard I thought I would pee myself. That alone is worth every ache! The tennis courts were hooked to basketball courts so I shot around by myself after we finished playing tennis. My first shot was an airball from the foul line. Sad! I broke records in basketball. I’ve never played tennis! I’ll work on it. We have had so much rain that the lake water is flush with our dock. That doesn’t help my pain either. I can’t wait to do some fishing though!! I’m signed up for every Tuesday for easy sports. Next week is Wiffleball. I have no clue how I’ll get to first base but I do know I’ll have fun! Then croquet, corn hole etc. I want more tennis. I’m feeling cocky since I wasn’t the worst one there and for once I’m really proud of myself so I’m bragging. I love the badminton too! I’m worried when it gets too hot. I don’t tolerate the heat well. My meds make me sick in the sun. I have to take extra pain pills to play but I still took less than I’m allowed. I’m proud. 🥇🏸🏀
