Home Turf

Pictured above is the Concord Carlisle High School campus. The nearer of the two soccer fields is my team’s home turf. I showed up there at 8 am this morning expecting to find my teammates for a practice session. I must have mixed up my days because I was the only one present. Instead, I returned home where I did a stationary bike workout while watching the second half of the US National Women’s Soccer team’s match against New Zealand. Later in the day, I replaced the drive belt on the dryer that was left here when we acquired our new house. It self-destructed yesterday while drying our only set of sheets and towels (we are in “camping” mode until the new house is built). Amazing how unpleasant sleeping and bathing are without these essentials. I was amazed that I was able to secure an overnight replacement for a dryer that is probably twenty years old. The repair took about an hour and I now have dry linens and will look forward to a better night’s sleep.
