Despite feeling very sore, I've had a very good day. I finally showed up for my first of six work service days stemming from my 2003 DUI. A group of us petty criminals were driven to Ramon to hoe... heheh. And man, I do not work this hard at my job! I learned way more than I ever wanted to know about hoeing. But it feels good that, a) I showed up and stuck to "the plan," b) put in a hard day's work, recognizing when my body had too much hoeing and moving on to other tasks so I remained useful to the group, c) the camaderie afterward.
Once we were dropped off, Larry picked me up so I could make it on-time to my tennis match, which I ultimately won. However, my competition is a very sore loser, and trying to enjoy the overall experience was very testing. But I managed.
The 2-bit was great; heard Ru-Ru and Pam. Then fellowship at Davids. Now bed. I will pray that God helps me to get up and make it on time tomorrow for day 2.
