Green Tee Readings

I’ve been way off my writing game lately, so much so that it’s felt like trudging through deep, thick snow just to find the smallest glimmer of a point. In lieu of anything substantive, y’all are getting a brief note of me being a dumbass.

On my way home today, I took a slightly more direct, but also less paved way, part of which is a rather steep, if short, hill. Partway down the hill, I thought “gee, this might have been dumb.” Then, if not for an outstretched right arm, I’d have fallen seat first. The arm though, got pulled a bit and was sore right away.

My brilliant self decided that tonight would be a fantastic night to go bowling, something I’ve not done in about a year. I bowled 8 games. I can’t straighten my arm anymore, and I’m about to take aspirin, something I do maybe 4 times a year. Ow.

A woman at work picks up her kids at 5 and brings them in for an hour. They’re usually pretty well behaved for 11 and 10 years old, and the lobby’s closed by the time they come, so it’s not a problem in the slightest.

Today, the 11 year old, a boy, was running around the lobby and unspooling tape, as in cassette tape, or server backup tape. My very first reactions were, in order, “Whose tape is that? Where did he get it? Who’s going to clean it up? Sigh.”

I feel old.

Yesterday the realization came to me in a near-blinding flash of lower back pain, that I really need to stretch out more often than once a month. That, indeed, it ought to be daily.

After a lot of leg, lower back stretches, sleeping on a couch and shoveling, my lumbar spine feels just fine, thank you.
