The good, the bad and the ugly---tennis

Day 93, "Every picture has a story"

Well I choose this picture because I needed to find one where I felt I was happy!  The story today is kind of about me.  The picture and the blog headline go together.  First of all the good.  Last winter our team went into the last of our 10 matches with a grand total of 2 court wins.  That was 2 of 27 if I recall correctly.  In our first of 10 matches yesterday we came away with 2 court wins.  For sure that is the GOOD.  The bad and the ugly all are rolled into one and that is the match that Rich and I played on court #1.  In the first set Rich was almost lights out with great shots only to see me make unforced error after unforced error.  We lost 3-6 and I felt we should have won 6-3.  In the second set I came on and played perhaps average for me and guess what?  Rich's game kind of went south.  We lost 3-6.  I THINK I played in the first set kind of like my play way way back in 2015 when we were at the 2.5 level.  Did I have fun?  I have to admit I tried my best and I guess the fact that I was on the court playing and not on the sidelines with a surgical repaired hammy made it kind of fun but really it was almost depressing.  I post this picture just to remind me that I enjoy life sometimes and the lefsa  I was eating sure was good.  SO the short of the whole story is the team won the match and that is good so it points to the fact that the tennis team is NOT about me but of the entire team.  I did take some satisfaction in sending in the scores as I did not do that once last winter.  The other good story of yesterday is the team member who is having issues with memory played VERY good as he and his team mate won 6-0 and 6-0.  Next week we are away at Beachwalk and I have hope that we may do well.

The tiles are now on the roof but have not been put in place.  I think they may get put in place next week.  It  has been a LONG time coming.  

Not much news other than tennis.  I do play at 9:00 this morning and will play against one guy who I have never played against before so that should be fun.  Friday it is 10:30 so maybe today and tomorrow I can get my act together and have more fun!  

I was able to eat less for breakfast as that is my goal and I did finish the FP which was an upper.  Also I should mention that Terry and I watched a mini series on TV last night which had 8 episodes of less than 30 minutes each.  It was good but the really good part was I hung in there until after 10 AND that meant I opened my eyes for the first time at 7:05 this morning.  Oh my that was grand!
