Recharging

By the end of yesterday, I'd started to feel psychologically less like a worthless drone deservedly scorned by the Trump-voting Mister and Missus McGoo's of this world and more like, well, myself! Who, no doubt, is deservedly scorned by many, but for other reasons.

Physically, it's gonna take some time to snap back.

I haven't exercised in like three months.

I went out tromping yesterday and could only do two and a half miles before I tuckered out.

When you're old, you lose muscle tone very quickly. And I'm old! Turning 74 tomorrow.

Off to tromp now.

I will be attempting to return to Schlock for six more days this coming week if I can stand it.

But if I walk in and I can't stand it,, I will fly out that door.

I forget that when you're old, you don't have the resilience you once had: When the battery drains, it takes a long, long time to replete.

Best not to let it drain.

Nice bloodroot! I always feel it's special when I see one. We saw our first ones of this year this morning near the creek.

Happy birthday!
