11 September 2024
I got up this morning with congestion and felt like I was coming down with a cold. I also felt blah. As a consequence, I didn’t do my yoga stretches and didn’t swim. As it turns out, it started raining anyway. It seems this is one of my days feeling off. Hopefully, it’ll be better tomorrow.
I was supposed to go to Barb’s for lunch with her and Joel but I canceled that and movie night with Chris and Tucker. Chris promised to be gentle when she broke the news to Tucker. I’ve pretty much stayed in bed today except for a Publix delivery.
It’s really nice to look out clean windows again. I normally clean windows two or three times a year depending on how dirty they are. I can get used to having someone do them and me pay them. Even though I’m about 4 miles from the beach, I get some salt spray that sticks on them after a real easterly storm.
I finally threw in the towel and called my GP and asked for a prescription for physical therapy for my back. It’s been bothersome today more than usual and as I mentioned before, when I get fully prone or supine, it is excruciatingly painful. It’s marginally better than it was when I injured it on August 1st but now I need some professional help. Getting old is not a walk in the park.
Weather-wise, we are looking at low 90’s during the day and high 70’s at night. That’s a break from high 90’s during August. We are well on our way through the month of September and that means we might actually start cooling off in late October so I can start back morning walks.
Oh, by the way, there were two songs that Aunt Mabel liked to play. It was “Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life.”
Stay tuned!
