Saturday Blog 19

To my surprise, I wasn’t as sore as I thought I was going to be. I did a few errands and then watched the baseball game. We lost to the Skankees, 4-2. It was a short game (just under 3 hours), even for the team they were playing, but it felt like it was long. The bats were not flying. I hope we can at least take one game from them tomorrow.

The game officially came to an end sometime yesterday afternoon. Now my FB feed is full of my friends’ status. I wasn’t getting them before as I would only be getting the game feed. I had to take a break as I was scrolling and missing my game. I have been trying to stay off of Facebook but it’s been difficult. I went on Twitter, and have been using that more. I tweeted a lot during the baseball game. Much to my surprise, I didn’t lose any followers this time around. But I didn’t swear so that might have been the case. I didn’t have my phone with me when Ogando gave up a home run. I was swearing then.

I’m still bummed that I didn’t get my glasses yesterday because they made them wrong. I tried reading Dostoevsky last night and either my eyesight is getting weaker or the print of the book is getting smaller. I am straining my eyes to read this book. I should go to another one but I hate starting a book and then moving to another one. I still have Andrew Solomon’s book “Far From The Tree” to read. I am about half way through that book. I haven’t touched it since leaving the hospital in last August. Maybe I will read that. It’s not a fun book to read though as it is about children with disabilities and their parents that will do anything and everything for them to get the kids the services they need. It’s a struggle but they persevere. I haven’t read stories about the kids with mental illnesses yet. I can’t imagine that isn’t included. But I am not done with the book so who knows. I also have a book by Thomas Waite that I have been meaning to get to. It’s a sci-fi book about technology, least I think it is sci-fi. He follows me on Twitter and I follow him and that is how I learned of his book. He has had some good reviews, which is why I got the book. But it’s collecting dust along with my other unread books pile.

Foot/ankle has been okay today, which is weird. I was really expecting a day of pain. Maybe I will tonight. Pain usually come out around seven and can last until I fall asleep from exhaustion or drugs. But I was expecting to be in pain all day today because of my activities yesterday. I didn’t have a good night of sleep, again, last night. I woke up around 0400 because nature called and didn’t go back to sleep till around 0800. I slept for a few hours before I gave up. My sister was home so I took her car to Starbucks for my morning coffee. I also got my coffee beans grounded for the French press while I was there. I had ordered the bag online because it was 25% off.
