One Last Hurrah Before the Long Break

The night before my operation, Olive has to meet a friend. In a badminton court. Olive's not exactly a fan of the game but I'm nuts about it. I used to do a lot of things before I got hooked to the sport. I'd read books, do cross-stitch and other crafts, go out with friends, etc. When I discovered badminton, everything else took a back seat.

Olive's friend knows that I play badminton, so he told Olive that I should be there, too and play a game or two. =) How can I say no? So, I asked permission from the family doctor (my brother, who else?) and he said okay! Yehey! This will be my first game for the year! And who knows when the next game will be!

So there I was; "a game or two" turned out to be two hours of fun! I was almost never off the court during those two hours. One thing I noticed when I played during this vacation is that once I stepped on the court, two hours will pass before I get to step off.

I savored the time for I know it will be quite a while before I can pick up the racquet again.
