Another Week Gone By

Perhaps I have said this a thousand times but I will say it again, "Oh my how times flies!"
I really do not know what happened this last week as it seems like I blogged yesterday but the blog says February 10, 2013.
So often people will ask me what I do now that I am retired and have few obligations.  I am not sure what I say most of the time but I know that time goes fast and I seem to keep busy.
Some of the things that happened this last week:
  • We had two couples over last Sunday PM for a nice turkey dinner.  It was a fun time.  One of the guys was one of five superintendents of schools in New York City when he retired and it was fun to talk education.  Most of the people down here are from the world of business as I think that is more conductive to retiring in FL!!   Anyway it was really fun talking education for a change.  As always Terry did a super job of setting up the dinner. 
  • I had two sessions with physical therapy.  This place I go really is great.  We had a couple over Wednesday afternoon for snacks and a drink.  We made up a gag gift for them and then we wanted to show them our camper as the lady had asked Terry some time ago if we lived in our camper during the summer??   Anyway, Steve said he dealt with tennis elbow some time ago and was unable to do anything for 10 months.  Terry once dealt with it for two years.  My point is I have dealt with it for about a month and was on the court yesterday for a doubles match. Now my tennis yesterday was one of those days where you want to throw the racket and stomp on it for a minute (I did not do that) but my game reflected my lack of skill after a long lay off and did not reflect any hurt in the elbow!  Another day and maybe another level, perhaps!!!  
  • We downloaded our first book on our mini-i pad so now we can read off of that.  A new thing for us.  We will see how we like it. 
  • Terry played tennis four times last week and has tennis scheduled four times this week as well.  I think I will have to have her show me how to play again.
  • Terry had several appt this past week and now is scheduled for a few PT sessions on her neck and back.  We are hopeful that helps.
  • We have several appt this coming week too.  I also will try to get on someones tennis radar again.  Once a person is off it can be difficult to get on as people tend to play and then ask the same people if they are open to play next time. 
  • We actually had two days of really nice rain.  I think we received about 2-3 inches on Thursday and Friday. 
  • We enjoyed a nice Valentine dinner on Thursday.  We have gone to the same place and actually sat in the same booth for the last three years.
  • I finished my writing class on Thursday.  A fun time and very helpful.  Now it is time to get serious about editing the writing I have done.  I think I will have to put a time aside each day or it will be put in the often time used time slot of "some day".
  • We almost have our taxes ready to go in. 
I finished my FP coffee hours ago so can not say I am at the bottom of the cup but regardless I am finished.
