Golf: 9-hole course

Golf: 9-hole course

Here's a photo from Memorial Day weekend of my dad and me. My mom and dad were visiting for the holiday. It was actually the first weekend I felt like I could try to play golf since my arm/neck/thumb injury. My husband and dad played an 18-hole, a 9-hole and then another 9-hole with me. I just played the one 9-hole.
I was happy to play, but I played terrible. I haven't played since last April up in Boulder Creek with my dad and Bruce. I was glad to not get re-injured. That was the key to my game that day. It also contributed to my terrible playing. I could tell I was holding back. So, now that I know I can play 9-holes without re-injuring myself I feel good that I can start playing more regularly again. Yeah! In general, I am happy that I am about 90% recovered. I still have some very subtle numbness in my thumb. It's getting better little by little. That's a good thing!

Last weekend we went to LACMA. It was fun!
Before going inside we explored the Rodin sculptures outdoors and
the Chris Burden lampost installation. I love that classic-modern
interchange. Here is Z going through the gates from Rodin to Burden.

Happy Mother's day to all of you moms! We are celebrating today by
going to a "free" mulch pile from the City of LA. What fun! Dirt!
We are going to put it on our rose plants outside. I hope to pull some of the weeds out, then put the mulch on top. We'll see. My shoulder is recovering from the last time I posted, but it is better.
I don't know how much mulching I can do. My thumb is still a little numb, with a somewhat pressure feeling on my forearm like I am wearing a sleeve. At least now I can sleep at night, which is huge.
It's some type of pinched nerve kind of thing which is slowing down the sensation to my forearm and thumb.
Anyway, I'm going to try to mulch.... We'll see.
Enjoy your day moms!
