That broken-back feeling? No extra charge!
But let's start at the beginning. Woke up fairly refreshed at 6:26, even though the alarm was set for 7:35. I was so-so-so c-c-cold. It's just horrible out. And … snowing. Lots and lots of fluffies on the ground. Luckily, I didn't have to sit outside too long (ugh) as my minivan arrived around 10:55. Driving conditions were horrible. He dropped me off at 12:10 NOT at the right place! So I had to walk, snow-blinded by the glare, three doors East. Luckily, the Prez and Volunteer coordinator were right behind me and she recognized my gait with the walker. OMG. What a relief. So we were just a few minutes late. There were already 4 people there. I ordered a lovely lunch (minestrone; glass of white wine; salmon penne in a rosé vodka sauce with lots of flavourful ingredients, also came with garden salad and garlic bread; large mango ice cream; and regular tea). Obviously, that was too much food so I brought half of the pasta home.
We had a lot of fun. There was a mix of old (in age and length of service) and new (ditto) and we had a lot of fun. I guess the weather influenced the absences as well as regular business, as we didn't leave until nearly 3. Well, everyone left, and I sat waiting at the window, waiting for my ride that showed up at 3:13, only 23 minutes late! In this weather (and considering I was sitting inside), I'm not complaining. It took a long time (and creative route changes) to get to my place.
So, you'd think I would relax. You'd think wrong! I decided to strip the bed, move it slightly so I could put on the cheerful red flannel sheets, and then collapse with the broken-back feeling. It's only in the last hour that the pain subsided. As if to taunt me, I've had wonderful vision from the moment I woke up! As always, I do not understand: a combo of cold weather, being social, and pain??? Watched my usual TV, also repeats of Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory ("Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" hilarity). There was also a "penguinologist" contestant on Jeopardy! whose faves are IIRC Aussie and Kiwi ones that are smaller than cats!!! I've had some of the yummy treats Brian gave me as I'm too full for real food, but need something before I take my final dose of Robax soon. Hoping for good sleep.
