home......

ok, so after 2 days of yard work i opted to see my sore and aging body as unfit for work and literally slept til 10:00 am......unprecedented.....i take this as a sign that i really was unfit to go to work...nobody whose body was agile could have slept quite that late.....i hesitate to use the term sick in this case, i am not sick so much as i am feeling so very old....100 years old......my back/my thighs, my wrists.....i don't remember feeling quite this miserable after cleaning out flowerbeds last year.....speaking of yard work...one could ask how a yard that has yielded so many handfuls of wild onions over the years could still have wild onions that need to be pulled.....i pinpoint my misery to said wild onions....the bending over to grasp them...the yanking motions.....all explain fully my current pain centers.....the moment this blog is complete i will take a nice long and very hot bath, which will soothe and revitalize my aging muscles.....i just know i'll be good-to-go after a bath.....i really do have things i want to get done today now that i am home.....and they won't get done until i feel better........note to self: next time the yard work beckons...take time to stretch......
