My 5 match win streak came crashing down yesterday. It was not really all that bad. My partner and I lost 4-6 and 4-6. What was disappointing was the winning point came on a high ball to me when we had a chance to take game 5 to deuce again. As it came high and to my left I knew I had almost half the court to hit a winner and THEN the ball disappeared in the sun. All I could see was a bright ball of yellow. I swung and hit the ball but it was long and that ended the match. We had been down 1-5 in the second set and that game would have put us even at 5-5 but it wasn't to be. What lessened the disappointment was courts 2 and 3 won (both in match tie breakers) so we won the match. It is our forth straight win which is satisfying for sure. After 4 of 10 weeks we are right up with the top teams which is actually more than I had expected. As I have said my goal to start the season was to finish in the top third. It is fun to see that it appears that several teams are pretty even so that makes matches great fun. Next week we are at home. In 10 matches we only have 4 home matches. We play the better Belle Lago team next week so it should be fun. I think I may have my best possible line up on the courts next week so we will see what happens.
Darn, I have a rash that is bothering me. It seems like I get this maybe once a year in late winter or spring. I went to Urgent Care yesterday and got some cream to put on it. It had better take care of it as the damage was $57 for a 60 grams. I assume it is still under Obama Care health system!!! I think it was two years ago I went to the dermatologist. Since 2007 I have had these light colored patches on my legs so I thought I should have it looked at. I mean after 11 years it is time to find out what it is I figured! The Dr told me what it was and said I should buy some cream to put on it. He said it maybe would not totally go away but that would help. He said, what ever it was, can show up on the face, in the mouth or where ever. I almost choked when the bill, with insurance involved, came to something like $115. The next time I saw the Dr. he said that same product had cost something like $15 before Obama Care!
Enough for this morning. I see where it is now 8:20 so will dress and get over to the courts. I have finished my FP so I should be ready to go.
