April 5, 2009 11:55 PM 53 days to go

Ahhh, my favorite day of the year - the opening of the baseball season! Watching Red Sox games will offer a pleasant change from the same old TV programming that seems to jam up most of the channels. As the song goes, "57 channels and nothing on!" Plus, I have the added bonus of being able to watch all the day games as well - I am so lucky! Unfortunately, the forecast is for heavy rain tomorrow and the game will most likely be postponed until Tuesday.

As you can probably surmise, with my mind on the opening of the baseball season, I am still doing fine and I really have nothing else to concern myself with other than this diversion.

We did go for a walk today - a little brisk and windy but the sun was out and getting the exercise is always good.

Once again my sister-in-law and brother-in-law came for a visit and we had a wonderful veal piccata dinner.

It was a good day in many respects. But, it was also the start of Holy Week and I missed the Palm Sunday church service for the first time in I don't know how many years. This is also the week that the choir puts in its most intensive effort of the year singing today, rehearsing tomorrow, then singing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am really going to miss all of that. Hopefully, they will miss me as well. By the time I get back on my feet I wonder how many people will still remember me!

Tomorrow, I get to do battle with the prescription service once again so that should occupy a chunk of my day and probably give me a sleepness night tonight! It's just so much fun dealing with them!

So, all in all, it was a bittersweet day. But another day closer to the 100 day goal. As we were talking today, as the goal nears, I'll have to seek clarification from the doctor as to what it really means as it relates to my everyday living.

That's about it for now. I'll let you know who wins tomorrow's battle...
