I stopped at a picnic table today to enjoy a quiet ten minutes by the lake. It was so placid and the weather clear and morning-cool. I could hear the freeway right behind me but it didn't spoil it. Things have been rough with my kids. My 8yo boy's behavior with hitting kids and coaches got him kicked off the soccer team before even playing a game. My job has been dull this month (it'll pick up near the end of the quarter). We went through a tight money patch and just now made it back to treading water. My insurance company switched the pharmacy for my boutique miracle heart med right in the middle of the year. Last night the 11yo sloshed over the tub and after I sopped that up, the washer wouldn't start to clean the towel because its door lock is half broken. I ordered the part last night but this morning the washer worked. During all the up and down stairs I got a twinge in my knee but forgot about it til this morning on the bike when it's my landing leg and first power stroke. I was just thinking yesterday my knees hadn't bothered me in a while and I could get out the MTB. Welp. Never mind. Went really slow to not aggravate it. So I needed this break. I need more of a break. I should pick up fishing again
