TGIF has passed me by without my noticing it. I know it was just another day, but it was a Friday in a string of Fridays that have lined up on my calendar. I don’t know much other than that I slept through most of it in a comfortably warm bed curled up the a backside that radiated my heat back to me. I do know that I can be as hot as needed to the point of being comfortable inside covers when it is minus twenty degrees. Who cares about what is outside as long as I am comfortable on the inside.
It is getting uncomfortably cold outside now. I don’t dare venture outside without adequate clothing protecting my internal warmth. Because of bloodthinners, I don’t have the same sort of circulation I used to have to stay warm when it gets cold. Hey, I used to run a refer trailer up and down the eastern seaboard until it got to be too expensive. Then I switched back to dry vans and hauled all over the place with my own rig. Who even knows those words anymore?
I hurt when I get cold. My muscles curl up in a grinding knot at the base of each and every connection and joint in my body. I have to take sedatives just to release the hold of my muscles over my movements. Otherwise I chatter and my movements show the chatters. It isn’t a fun experience to say the least. Thankfully I am nice and warm now.
I did have to venture out today just for a cigarette run. I support the needs of five adults in every way from supplies to taxi service. The big Chevy van I drive is like a brand new vehicle in every way except in cleanliness. There isn’t time in driving to keep up with the flow of dirt in and around the windblown corners that dirt can normally pile up. That’s funny because dust wouldn’t normally settle in or on any moving object. Only to me, unusual stuff only happens to me.
I can’t help it. I keep clicking off to play a fast game of Freecell. Who even knows where to find that game anymore? I have an icon in several convenient places and just do that. It is the worst sort of addiction I can think of having. It is so wasteful and time consuming. And, it doesn’t accomplish anything except to free up a few moments of quick clicking relief. Ah, brb, eh?
