Morning After

I think the song says, “there’s got to be a morning after.”  Well it is the morning after. 
I know I slept well last night.  They reckon you get as fit as what you do requires.  Well I have not reached that stage yet.  I subbed last night at table tennis.  First time in a while.  I enjoyed it big time but right now is the morning after.  All I know is it can only get better as I get fitter.
There were a few shots that came back to me but it did not stop me from getting done.  And our team lost 6/5.  It was five all when I went to play the last game.  As Merril said “no pressure.” 
Anyway some one was happy.  I sort of take consolation in the fact I had not played for ages and made a bit of a contest of it.  Not against the first player I played though.  He was way good.  I am just grateful for the opportunity to play him.  Their third player was close.  That was my last match.  Lost it Three games to two.  The last was 11/8.
Someone from my team said they thought I had capitulated in one game but came back and won it. I do notice I have a tendency to be hard on myself which costs me a few points while I get over it.  I will work on it.
It was enjoyable.  Merril came up and we both had a chance to catch up with various ones.  I am subbing again next week at a different level.  I live in hope.
I got there a bit later than expected as Merril was sending a huge file.  The instructions said don’t leave doing it till the last minute.  Her experience shows me why.  The file eventually went but caused a little angst.  She had done it early.
It was nice having her on the sideline.  At one stage I told her “no more mr nice guy” but that didn’t help really.
So this morning after a good sleep I am raring to go for the day.  If raring is moving sloth like between activities then I’m raring.
