And this home run puts the Rangers up 11 to 1 in the middle innings of their game vs. the Rockies. Sweet! And I've finally finished compiling and organizing material to take to the title bonding folks next week. Hope we can finally put that chore behind us.

Not my favorite Friday. Despite having a better night's sleep than is my norm, I woke with a general physical soreness, especially my lower back and hips, that stayed with me all day.
Aggravation came when monitoring my bank accounts activity. My primary bank wasn't updating information properly. They apologized, but... still.
Hoping for another good night's sleep and a better day tomorrow.

Okay then. I DID mow the front yard this morning. And I DID trim that big ash tree in the front yard. And YES, just that amount of work pretty much wiped me out for the rest of the day, as expected. This afternoon I gave myself a good close haircut, I used my new head shaver,. and I shaved off my beard, too.
And my Rangers are leading the Braves 3 to 2 going into the 5th inning.

Two of the three major chores I'd set for today were handled well, but the third has become more complicated than I thought it would be. Through no fault of my own. But taking care of it will involve an unexpected phone call, and a visit to my primary care doctor's office later this week. Oh well, maybe that'll actually be for the best.
Tomorrow morning I hope to get out and mow my front yard. Thankfully I've a good stash of aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. I know my back ...

Monday has been quietly successful. Handled a few chores and voice and text comms well during the day and ending it this evening listening to tonight's radio call of a Rangers vs Braves game over my little “Echo Show” device (thanks Heather and Terry) while watching a visual display of the game with all stats updated in real time on the TV back in my room on the MLB Gameday broadcast caught by my little Raspberry Pi computer.

Up between sleep segments with my prayers and my angels. My three angels. Pictured here are three of my great-grandchildren whom I have yet to meet face to face (f2f).
This picture was taken Saturday of this weekend on the occasion of my great grandson's 5th birthday party.. The two little girls are daughters of my oldest granddaughter living in the American Midwest, and the little boy is the son of my youngest granddaughter who also lives in the American Midwest. Thank God my daughter and granddaughters generously share photos and video chat time!
Sylvia also has great-grandchildren living on islands in the South Pacific whom we love dearly but with whom we have yet to meet f2f. Reasons of distance, health, and logistics are keeping us apart for now. Hopefully our situations will change in the future and we'll be able to travel and meet with them all. God willing.
And with that happy thought I'm also looking forward to my next sleep segment of the night. May God be with us all.

Early afternoon Saturday and all is well. Thunderboomers woke me ~01:30 and the heavy storm kept me up for most of the rest of the night. More rain may come this evening and tomorrow but all is calm now. Calm and humid. Thank God for good air-conditioning!
Recovery from last Sunday's fall continues. I'm not 100% yet, but each day is better than the one before.

My Friday ends quietly. Thank God! Sylvia retrieved her special “back support” seat cushion we purchased two Summers ago after she fell and hurt her back. Now I'm using it to help in my recovery from last Sunday's fall. It helps tremendously! Now I can sit comfortably in my office chair, and I can rise from the chair without groaning in pain. Ah! Such a simple thing making such a big improvement in my quality of life!

Interesting (at least to me) how the “recovery” from my fall on Sunday has progressed. It seems to have morphed into a problem of osteoarthritis that has plagued me for years: stiffness and soreness along my entire spinal column from my neck down to my hips and across both shoulders. Now it's mostly from my mid back down into my hips. That darned fall seems to have triggered that arthritis into a “flare-up” kind of situation.

As I continue to deal with the lingering soreness from my fall last Sunday, it is good to find new photos of my great-granddaughters. Helps my mood tremendously!
