Crash-boom
It was one of those days today, I had a serious run-on of PGs, needs must as they say, and then no more bookings for about 10 days. I need the time for me, for other stuff that calls. Sometimes I wish I was in my forties again, with the life experience of my own age behind me but the sheer ENERGY of my forties would be lovely.
But elder exhaustion caught up with me and I took two naps. One before a meeting in the morning and then one after my Book Club Meet in the afternoon before a fire department meeting in the evening. I know. But tomorrow is MINE all mine. I get excited about mine days. No one pulling on my sleeves for anything. No meetings, no people.
I took the pic yesterday after a social event. Fog and uncertain sun and calm seas and sand. I trudged across the beach with the dog and the camera.
I said to her: "We'd better make it through the winter old girl, what do you say?"
Her back end is uncertain, lots of helpful mats on the floor, sometimes a small assist from me to get her cranked up in the morning. She's thinner. But gameball. That's all that matters now. Gameball.

I like a "mine" day every few days where the radio goes off and the sounds of the city and the garden come through the open back door and NOBODY rings me up.

The most difficult days with a pet of sufficient seniority. Soldier on is all I can suggest. All the best.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramana, that's what we do - take it one day at a time :)
