74f and tropical day.
Set back.
Yesterday our church miniature golfed at one of those places. Ages ago my bowling score was about "par." Now my golf game resembles my bowling average of 166.
After golf, we went to In 'n Out Burger. Cheap and good. I sat in a chair in the dining room. This well to do looking older couple sat at the table adjacent. On her way in, she banged my knee rather hard. I wore my brace and it was obvious it was hurt. It hurt. But when her husband moved in to sit down, and I moved my leg as far our of the way as possible, he banged it really hard. It hurt, and I winced. Then he kicked my foot out of his way (it wasn't! He was in MY space!), and said "sorry" as he sat down. Obviously could not have cared less. I was in tears from the pain. Hard pain. I looked over at him directly, astonished that anyone would be so careless, do such a thing, and be so indifferent about it. Again he said "Sorry" almost sounding like a male Valley girl. I glared at him. Then they got up and left without a word.
Today it is extremely sore. Set back. Hope it isn't further injured.
Pastor's sermon was on Missions. For fun we played as prelude Mission Impossible theme. Unexpected and met with some resounding "YES!" from the congregation and to the chagrin of the Captain.
Every day trump or somebody in his orbit does some outrageous stupid thing in effort to distract media and people from the Epstein Files. Whatever is in there must be really bad, for the lengths HE goes to, to cover it up.
We don't need or want pedophile or a pedophile protector (protecting himself!) in the Presidency or the White House.
After the midterms, watch him get impeached, tried, convicted, removed from office, evicted from the White House, indicted for crimes, tried and convicted, and finally be incarcerated.
What do you want to bet he refuses to leave on any of this?You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
Get Back

Too many people seem to lose all empathy when in public. That sucks!
I have a good feeling you'll get back soon.
Your mention of Mission Impossible theme had me envisioning you in disguise like Martin Landau or Peter Graves would be at In 'n Out and you just sat at your table, and you have a cane that transforms into several non-lethal gadgets. Then you unleash it all on them. Cattle prod, blow dart, and staff. And then you sit and savor the burger with a big grin.
Like I tell all my friends as long as it all plays out inside your head it's not illegal.
Yes my thought life helps me cope in strange ways.
A Jack of all trades is master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
... And many thanks for the masters in skill for setting our standard of work to instill.
eye carumba!

some people...
Maybe you should take it easy for a few days... or weeks!
I'm due to get my cast off in a few days. Will probably still have to be careful with it for awhile. My patience is about spent. Especially with maga jerks/enablers.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
