Yesterday sucked!
I suppose that it is impossible to reach my age without gathering a collection of minor aches and pains, and most days I don’t let them bother me. Yesterday was one day when I did. Nothing was seriously wrong, but the accumulation of various minor problems, headache, queasiness and a generally tired feeling, got the best of me.
I gave in to my blahs and didn’t accomplish a single thing all day.
One advantage – or possibly disadvantage – of being retired is that I can take a day off and nobody but my wife knows or cares. Honey does worry, and it’s hard to explain that there is nothing really wrong, I just don’t feel like doing anything.
If I were still working for a living and woke up feeling like I did yesterday, I would man up, get dressed and go to work. By about 10 o’clock, I would either be back to normal or I might feel bad enough to actually justify taking the rest of the day off. Being retired makes it way too easy to just crawl back into my shell and hibernate.
