Day 23 - 29: Attitude Adjustment


Hey L -- what's up! I am so sorry for calling you accidentally so many times this last week, and (I admit it) again this morning. I can't help it! As you already know, my phone has a mind of its own. I promise -- it will probably happen again. ;-)

Hey everyone, I'm back! Just when you thought you had gotten rid of me. Um, no I didn't not fall off the face of the Earth. Though at some points I think I would have preferred just that. I was just feeling a little (more like a HUGE amount of a little) crabby this last week. That would be Ms. Crabapple to you, little missy! Overworked, underpaid, possessed by evil spirits ---you know the drill. However, after an awesome weekend, I am back in the saddle and once again back to my sweet self. (You're right: sweet is not a word often used to describe me.) Still, sweet or not, I feel like myself again. And trust me, when compared to the alternative, that is a very good thing.

Am currently fixated on making a quick trip down to Mexico in the next week or so. Feeling the need to spend more time by/in the ocean, and I want to check out the tennis court situation down there, so we'll see if I can swing it. Fingers crossed.

In tennis-related news, today started out early with a 7am match with Barb S. which, as always, was a lot of fun. Barb is one quick lady. At 9am was my weekly doubles flights with Jane D. We played 2 very nice ladies who both love to lob. Lots of lobbing. We had a 6-0, 6-1 win. (Good job Calamity Jane! Hope your shoulder feels better soon.) Moving on, I headed down to HS for my first 11am drill with some ex-cup players who meet every Monday. Boy, that is a workout. Today was reactive volley practice. (Split-step!) I'm seeing improvement, which is nice. Major drama at the club. And it's only Monday. But that's a whole nother story.

Anyhoo, made it to my lesson, which today is all conditioning. From this lesson I took away that I would not call myself over-coordinated. I got kudos for doing what was asked of me without whining or locking my keys in my car like a space cadet. Again, baby steps. (BTW, with such an improved display of attitude today, I would hope to not see 2.0 grade in the conditioning section of this week's report card.) After my lesson, I ran a bunch of errands which were postponed from the weekend. Ate a rather enormous salad for dinner. How very healthy of me. Part of me would like to wiggle into my so very comfy pjs or jump in a hot tub -- but wait! There's still-more-tennis! Will be leaving soon to mixed doubles flights at 9pm. Should be loads of fun -- will keep you posted on how I do. Peace out.
