We live 2 blocks from the elementary school, and I usually walk September to school. Today is cold and snowy and very windy, so I decided we would drive rather than brave the elements. It is faster to walk! It took 20 minutes from the time we walked out the door until I walked back in. Most of that time was spent sitting in line waiting to get to the drop off point. Seriously, it takes less time to walk there (more like 3 blocks the way the sidewalks are set up) and back, then to drive. Next time we may just bundle up really well and face the weather!
How do you convince yourself you are not getting old when your body keeps saying otherwise?! Yesterday I sat down on the couch, put on my socks and shoes, and when I stood up my hip hurt so bad I could hardly move. What is up with that?! I was perfectly fine when I sat down! By the end of the day, it was better, but this morning I am very sore again, and can hardly make it up the stairs. Isn't this something that I should expect when I am 80, not in my 40's? Any one have a wheelchair for sale, cheap? At this rate I will need it soon!
