The Blind Man Society

Bragging rights aside, I walked 39 miles yesterday for various reasons (albeit necessary ones) and on that walk I thought about some stuff, and saw a few things. I thought about Jenny mainly (again!) and realized that I am not 23 anymore. I went to bed, feeling quite strong. I woke up, realizing that the idea of balance in an exercise regimen is not without its charms too… I no longer can move very well. LOL!!!!

So, I figured I would write a blog today. Being a writer is fabulous, but the time has come for an additional job. 13 miles it was, to a temp agency from where I live to get the necessary info to once again become a contributing member of society and then 13 miles back. Naturally, not being the brightest of bulbs sometimes, I figured later in the day: well, I’ve gone this far, I’ll just keep on going farther. Necessary errands brought 13 more miles by the time I got home, and life was good. That is, until I got up this morning :).

My hand was on my back, from the time I rolled off my bed and almost onto the floor until I got over to the crib to write today. I thought a lot about aspirin…and heating pads…and never moving again. I look normal today, but really, I’m in the land between this and that right now. Who am I, again? I’m also having trouble putting dos phrases together as well. The coffee, has lost its sparkle. The jewels, no longer shine…and the crib has become a prison. And, in the end, I’m realizing that I’ll take a cab next time. UGH.

Naturally, few are sympathetic to my self inflicted plight today. I limped out of the house this morning brimming with positivity. I think, space aliens are controlling people today because NOBODY is in the mood to be positive from those I encountered so far. To be fair, the day is young. But, in actual point of fact, I have to blend and pretend to be negative to avoid some snarly looks and less than kind commentary. People are complaining today ALOT and I’m too sore to even walk the other direction.

The lesson here, if there’s one to be had, is DO NOT over exert yourself – always leave outs, always leave battery power in reserve, and if you feel like doing what I did yesterday, please bear in mind, the following day could be one of the worst of your natural life. I’m sorry readers, I’m just laughing right now out loud at the shop and getting amused looks because, this too shall pass. By tomorrow it will be fine, and things will be back to normal.

This post, is not an adventure story. I have come to realize that behind the scenes is sometimes pretty good too. That said, have a fantastic day out there everyone, and happy walking and exercising!
