A tale of exhaustion

bitter cold, fatigue, Law and Order U.K, postaday2013, T.v, writing

I woke up today completely wiped. I couldn’t tell you why, just that upon opening my eyes I felt so weary. The feeling of utter weariness didn’t negate my enjoyment of my breakfast. Breakfast is truly my favorite meal of the day. I had my rye toast with peach preserves today; I don’t know which preserves is my favorite; fig, peach or wild blueberry. It doesn’t really matter, I just rotate them so everyone gets a turn.

I mustered up enough energy to go run some errands downtown in Westfield; I had thought to go to the Mall in Holyoke but feeling the way I do, I thought it best to postpone returning the items at the mall some other day when I felt better. Digging the car out from the snow on top was a chore however it did give me a good deal of satisfaction feeling my biceps and core muscles at work. Any physical effort no matter how small is always good for your heart and circulation. That is what I tell myself whenever I am doing something that I would rather not be doing; it’s good for me. Believe it or not, it helps.

Right now I am resting and watching Law and Order U.K. I have been meaning to watch it for such a long time but since it’s not often advertised or promoted on other channels I miss it. My hubby recorded a marathon of episodes so I am taking advantage of my bone weariness to watch all of these episodes. The British version is just as sharp as the American one and the chemistry between the characters along with the sometime rivalry between the prosecutors and the police makes for excellent t.v. Jack has been watching it with me and he agrees. He only watches quality t.v.

I know that I’ll feel better tomorrow because I have weight class to teach. I also spent some time wrapping a few caramels into cute little packages for all the ladies in our class. A belated holiday present if you will, I was too overwhelmed before the holidays to make them anything before Christmas, so I am making up for it post holiday season. A sweet way to start the new year.

Dear 100-year-old me

Write a letter to 100 year old self

Dear me,

How are you? How have the last 55 years treated us? I know that I didn't exactly provide us with the best foundation for old age but I tried to repair whatever damage I did over the early years. I hope that it was enough. Is someone reading this to you? Can you still hear? I hope that you still have some ice cream here and there, why wouldn't you? You are 100; have fun, live a little.

How many grandchildren do we have and how many great grandchildren? I hope that they come to visit us once and a while. How are we doing without our hubby? You must miss him so much, does anyone make you laugh these days? Are you waiting to join him? I would imagine that you are. Are you thinking of grammy when she was 100? She was tired and was wanting to die, are you feeling that way? I hope not. I hope that you are still talking about food and making everyone around you hungry for whatever you are describing.You better still be watching t.v, it would be awesome if General Hospital was still on.

I hope that you, that we, are a funny, patient and loveable old lady. Hopefully people like to visit with us and listen to our stories so that we aren't stuck alone in our little world. So hang in there, love you

me
