The Park Again

Woke up around 9am. The Lil guy and his cousin entertained themselves.
11am I decided to pop to the shop to get the lil guy some cough drops. I decided to cycle to Lisa’s park. The cycle ride went smoothly. At the park I may have passed Lisa’s goddaughter and her mother (who may have recognised me if Lisa has described me to her). I didn’t stay long. I cycled back via the shop. On the way back, near my park, I bumped into S (one of peers at the training centre). He was with his daughter and grandson and walking his 2 dogs. He was looking a lot better having suffered from, I believe, the same bug that has knocked Lisa for six.

3pm The boys finally agreed to go out. As I prepared the bikes the lil guy journeyed up to the bedroom, pulled the duvet over himself, and promptly fell asleep. So my nephew and I also journeyed to Lisa’s park. We had lots of fun there especially on the nouveau-seesaw. However I discovered my hamstring is still far from ready for football. I kicked a piece of rubber and straight away felt a twinge in the back of my right thigh. We passed by Lisa’s place about 3 times. We journeyed home and my poor cousin was bushed. We got home 5pm.

Lisa has not sent any emails today. She did come online around 7pm. I hailed her but she didn’t respond. As I waited my sister phoned and asked me to ring her back. I left a message with Lisa on Messenger. When I came back she hadn’t responded. I waited and she finally went offline without a hello. I wonder what has happened. Every so often I keep repeating the phrase “5 years” - it’s become my swear phrase. That is the nature of the opponent.

My sister is more lucid. She’s off the morphine now. Starting to move around now. She is finding sleeping difficult due to the surgeons having taken matter from her back for the breast reconstruction. We will journey to see her tomorrow.

Tried to keep busy the rest of the night. Tried not to think too deep about anything. I watched Stargate 09x18 (while feeling VERY VERY SLEEPY).
