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\u2019s dinner).<\/p>\n
After lunch I rode the bike over to the TT park to practice. Some of the \u201cregulars\u201d grabbed me when I arrived and I didn\u2019t sit down until I left at 5:00. They kept taking turns beating up on me. I\u2019m better, though, and the beatings aren\u2019t quite as bad.<\/p>\n
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\u2019ve grown to love the KFC spicy chicken sandwich. The lesson went well, and my teacher is definitely noticing my improvement. Unfortunately I\u2019ll 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\u2019m dripping sweat when I get home.<\/p>\n
Judy had just finished dinner when I arrived. We caught up on some of the news from school, and I related my own \u201cfun\u201d for the day. I\u2019m 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\u2019t think it\u2019ll be quite so convenient in the West 7th<\/sup> Cultural District, and certainly not as cheap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back to the weekly grind!
