Seems as if the excessive wear and tear I did on this meat vessel of mine is catching up to me. Strange that I feel so worn and run down...bad leg, bad ankle, bad back...
From what they tell me, I am not old, and they say you are only as old as you feel...well, sometimes, when the weather changes I feel freakin' ancient...
Yet, the memories and lessons learned...well, worth it is not exactly what I mean. But they made me who I am today - and that I would not change.
Besides, could always be worse. I am not immobilized by these minor afflictions, and, if nothing else, they have served to increase my already high threshold for pain tolerance.
*chuckles* One of those days for complaining, just the same.
Friday night went to hang out with Sugarpuss after work. We ordered WAY more chinese food that we needed for delivery, and watched the food network while waiting - not the best thing to watch when you are hungry.
After about 40 minutes of waiting, we put in "Dinner for Schmucks". Luckily the chinese food arrived during the previews, so we paused and went to get our plates.
Once back to the movie, munching away, we laughed so hard. One of the best comedies I have seen in awhile. We both enjoyed the total randomness of the situations the characters got themselves in to.
Overall, great movie! Fantastic night - much needed.
I sat on the back deck this morning, wrapped in a blanket, cup of coffee in hand. I had awoken early, and watched the sun slowly climb over the horizon. I stared as each ray shone more and more brightly over the treeline, the sky changing colors from pastel pinks, baby blues, and a touch of purple, brightening gradually as the shining orb in the middle continued it's climb, pushing twilight back in it's travels. Minute by minute, the sky lightened, and the clouds went from darkened grey, to pale purple, to pink, to white. The stars slowly dimmed, and the sky itself went from bruised, to lavender tipped, to a crystal clear cerulean blue.
As I took in the amazing beauty of this daily phenomenon, I thought to myself, "It's Sunday - why the hell am I awake this early on a weekend?!?"
So, yesterday was the worst day ever. But today, while not quite the best ever, was a good day.
Received strange, semi-creepy texts from employees that I have be-friended, and talked to another friend. Both incidents put a smile on my face, despite a somewhat hectic stressful shift.
I am so blessed with the best friends, and a job that I generally enjoy!
Been absent lately, I know. Work has been, well, work.
But I am handling the changes well - always prided myself on being able to adapt - although usually that didn't apply to new sleeping habits.
These days weather changes have been affecting me A LOT. Sigh. Too young to start feeling old, but I have been harder on this body than I should have been as a kid/teen.
Anyways, hope you all have a good Valentines (or, if you don't celebrate it, have a Happy Monday!)
