Friend has moved in across the way with her dog, and Baensidh enjoys watching Susie's activities. He's never had any contact with a dog before, and wasn't quite sure if that thing out there in the yard was worth a hiss and arched back, or if it was just another something for his entertainment. I think he's decided on the latter.
Friday was a bad day. Headache and blahs! Granddaughter was expected to spend the weekend, but I begged off. Just didn't feel up to taking her to the pool, and other activities that she enjoys. She's understanding.
Yesterday was almost a total loss as far as activity goes. It was "one of those days" when I couldn't wake up. Spent most of the day sleeping. Didn't make it to synagogue, but a couple friends came over in the afternoon. Brought some cholent, which was good. The one friend who is writing a novel left a few chapters for me to read, and came back later, early evening, and we talked about the progress of the story. It's a good story, progressing well, and I'm eagerly awaiting ensuing chapters.
Finally got around to watching some of the Olympics events. Love to watch the swimmers! Will have to keep the TV on so I know when the gymnastics will be on. It seems incredible to me what those gymnasts can do with their bodies. They seem to defy gravity! Beauty and grace in movement.
I watched women's and men's rowing earlier, and again marvelled at the beauty of the human body. For the first time I noticed that the oars alternate right and left side. Well, of course, I say to myself. If all the oars were on one side, they'd be going around in circles.
Basketball is on now. The Portuguese team is beating the socks off the US team. My theory is that the first team to score is usually the winner. We'll see how that plays out, as Portugal scored first. At this point, it appears that my theory is correct.
OK, now I'm going to go back to the TV and sort-of watch the basketball and work the Sunday crossword. The TV is on mute. I can't stand all the chatter from the commentators. I can SEE what's going on. Eventually, I'll get through the rest of the paper, but first things first.
Shalom
