Back to the weekly grind! Lately, Mondays have been busy for me. I have grocery shopping to do at both the wet market and Metro. Next was a swim session (1600 meters each session). I made soup for lunch (and Judy’s dinner).
After lunch I rode the bike over to the TT park to practice. Some of the “regulars” grabbed me when I arrived and I didn’t sit down until I left at 5:00. They kept taking turns beating up on me. I’m better, though, and the beatings aren’t quite as bad.
Next stop was the KFC across from the West Gate of Ditan Park to eat dinner and rest a little before my TT lesson. I’ve grown to love the KFC spicy chicken sandwich. The lesson went well, and my teacher is definitely noticing my improvement. Unfortunately I’ll never get to the level of most of the kids playing in this place. After the lesson, I make the 25 minute bike ride back to the apartment. The temperature today was around 95 degrees F, and the humidity was almost as high. I’m dripping sweat when I get home.
Judy had just finished dinner when I arrived. We caught up on some of the news from school, and I related my own “fun” for the day. I’m going to miss the convenience of a pool 30 yards from my front door, and table tennis 365 days a year, a short bike ride away. I don’t think it’ll be quite so convenient in the West 7th Cultural District, and certainly not as cheap.
