Well, it has been too long, I know. I can’t say I have been busy. We haven’t been particularly busy, or any busier than we normally are. I think that things have settled into a routine, and I have been getting tired earlier than usual and just heading to bed. Then in the morning I think, “I didn’t write the blog last night! I have to make sure I do it tonight.” I then proceed to go to sleep the next night. It seems sad in a way, but really, I think it is a good thing. Being tired and falling asleep is a good thing.
On Tuesday we went to the Stroke Recovery Center for Let’s get Physical, and we arrived just on time, and the folks were throwing a ball around, and we proceeded to take our seats. There was a particularly large group, and not all the usual suspects. Just as we got settled, someone asked “Where is he. He’s late.” and Glorianne said, “He is on his way, and it is only a few minutes after.” Almost as these words left her mouth, in walked a Rabbi, and David gave me a look of shock and disgust. The shock was for the Rabbi but the disgust was mine exclusively. The Rabbi was there to teach about Yom Kippur and David thought I had made some sort of terrible scheduling error. I was sure I had not, and even though I double checked the printed schedule but he still believes that it was my error. I told him we should stay, and he practically hit me with his cane and began to get up from the chair.
We made our way, slowly, out of the room. Past all the other clients who were all wondering where we were going and past the Rabbi asking why we were leaving. I had no answer, and David wasn’t giving one. Glorianne followed us out, and asked us to come to her office, and was apologizing if we were offended. I explained that we weren’t offended, David just didn’t want to stay. She explained that they normally don’t allow any programs that had any religious content, but the Rabbi has been coming for so long, and besides, he always brought food. Now I understood why the turnout was so good for this session. I explained that David wasn’t offended, he just didn’t want to hear the Rabbi explain Yom Kippur.
Yesterday, David began his personal training with Bill again. He also exercised and we had a PT session and he was a bit exhausted by the end of the day. I had my last softball practice last night before our first game on Sunday. It will be at 3pm PST or 6PM EST, so if you get a chance, send good thoughts my way. I may need them! I hope to have some choice tidbits tomorrow, as there is also a grand opening ceremony at 1:30pm before the games start. There is a pot luck as part of the opening, so I have been preparing a pasta salad to bring. Only in a gay softball league are you batting, catching and cooking skills tested.
