It will be the first day of summer in two more weeks and I am gearing up for it. I won’t play as much beach ball this summer like last summer because my shoulders need a rest. I dislocated my right shoulder five times the past couple of years and told myself there won’t be a sixth time. It does not feel good when the shoulder pops out and I know it isn’t good for the ligaments and tendons, so I am backing off from volleyball and focusing on our band from here on out. My flat is heating up quite a bit and it isn’t from my hydronic heating system but from Mother Nature herself. The days are getting really long and the sun isn’t setting till after 9:30pm, which makes for some really long nights. I normally was in bed with the heating system on by 10pm in the wintertime, but now that things are heating up and summer is here my bedtime is closer to 1am and I am finding myself running the mini split a/c unit in my room each night. Today I will get my work done by early afternoon and then head out to train a lady in ball, which is much easier on my shoulder than playing those competitive matches that need a lot of shoulder action. I like cooling down my body in the sea after training and then heating it up with a hot shower when I get home in the evening, which works well thanks to my new hot water heating system.
