It’s been a quiet week in many
ways, not much happening in my life other than the usual tasks and problems. As
a follow-up to my last post, the weather has been abnormally warm, up to + 14 C
in the daytime. Much of our snow has melted, and the fields are looking bare
and dry. This is, I believe, the harbinger of a very dry summer, unless…you
know what I will say: “more snow…wind…cold…WINTER!”
I know, I know, a broken record.
But in all honesty, the current weather makes all my Spidey senses tingle. I
tell people, “Watch out, it will come, and we have to be ready!” (Boring,
right?)
In one small way, this has been a
difficult week. I’ve been swimming my regular one-kilometer on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, but this week, at the end of my swim, I felt really
tired. I was also the last one out of the pool – a psychological issue for me –
but the weariness troubled me. Do I need more sleep? Is it the age thing slowly
catching up with me? I grind my gears about this.
On top of that, I found my walks
difficult. My knees complain, perhaps because I’m not walking every day, as
before. All in all, I’ve begun to monitor my body with greater diligence, just
to see if I am overdoing it. Paranoia?
Beatrix and I have had a good
week, lots of closeness time, and good talks. That always helps me when other
things are on my mind. I found myself wondering what I would possibly do if she
wasn’t in my life. That thought is likely spurred by the fact that she has a
surgery date in April. Not serious
serious, but…surgery is surgery.
