Saturday ended with a soothing hot tub session at a friend's. As it does, it also eased my various pains and, of course, eased my mind.
Despite that, when I got home I wasn't sleepy, and binged the new season of 'Lupin' on TV.
So, Sunday didn't start off so well - I didn't get enough sleep - or rather I got my usual amount from before I started tracking and improving it, post-heart surgery.
But it was a pretty day, and I decided it was time for a walk, which I had been avoiding due to hip pain for more than a month.
Lo and behold, my first pain-free walk in years. I walked for over half an hour, and neither my calf, my knees nor my hip protested. At all.
That is something that hasn't happened since before my trip to Lisbon at the end of 2018. I was jubilant.
Later, I went to an open mic. I walked through the door and was immediately put on stage - I didn't even put my bass down or order a drink. And then, I just 'killed it' for the next four sets. That's a lot of playing time at an open mic where I wasn't house bass.

So, the weekend ended exceptionally well.
I'm grateful for that.
