Wow, another great day. This is the best little mini vacation.
I woke up last today, just in time for JD to make me some breakfast. I left Lori to laze about on the sofa with a book, and I went off on a delightful hike. No ticks, that I noticed. Just flowing through the woods, listening to history podcasts. I noticed that I'm a bit on edge, though. I kept jumping at noises. I don't know if I've had bad dreams or what.
Typically I would get a good meal and then have a nap, but instead I got a good meal and then started setting up the house for Christmas. JD hauled all the Christmas stuff out of the basement during half time for his football game. We didn't get much done - mostly just the big tree and candles in a few windows. I hope to get a lot of the railing lit outside tomorrow.
It feels so, so luxurious to know that I have ANOTHER day off tomorrow. With Lori here it's been a very enjoyable time off from work. I think having a friend here helps me view things with a fresh eye, and helps me to get out of my routine instead of sitting in front of my computer all the time.
Unfortunately my back has decided to start hurting on the left side. After fifteen+ years of pain on the right, it's shifted. Probably means some disk has degenerated a little more and started putting pressure on a new nerve. It's not awful, just annoying (so far.) Sometimes I feel like I have mild mutant progeria. I keep hitting aging milestones too early. Not the obvious ones like grey hair, hair loss, or wrinkles. Just the internal ones having to do with my internal organs, joints, and brain.
I'm wise before my years, I am. Or old. But I prefer wise.
