Ran around after a small yellow ball on Friday.  Unable to run Friday or Saturday, though I wanted to.  Which brings us to Sunday.  Awoke from a nap with high blood sugars due to a few hard to count carbs cookies I had after mid-afternoon dinner earlier.  Instead of a big shot of insulin, I decided to run (had a little insulin still in my system) to bring 'em down.

Felt nice and strong.  Not sure my knees were overly happy later ... pound the hard tennis court followed by pounding the pavement, but they feel good now after a day of recover.

I do not get the meaning of that poem. But then again, I've never been really good at deciphering poetry.

Can't say I understand those lyrics ... but I do like the Tennis on Tuesday.

Yeah, cuz usually the writers are drunk when they write their songs.
