$Yesterday I got a wake up call about aging. I know how we all are! In my minds eye I am still at my prime. I'm young, thin, can run a triathlon without training (I kid you not, did it in 2002, did the swimming on my back. Worst was the 10 mile bike ride, I could barely walk. Running 2 miles was a cake walk...geez almost 20 years ago!). See what I mean. I'm ageless in my head. It's going to be a SHOCK when I kick the bucket.
Yesterday, as is my absurd habit, I cross posted from 2 am until 4 am and then fell asleep on the wrong side on the now lumpy mattress (number bed circa 2005) I share with at least two dogs and when I woke I had a pain in my hip. Like bursitis. Which I have had, when I was running.
Being a sport about pulled muscles, I just popped some Tylenol knock off and went about my business which as of late, has been focusing and obsessing relentlessly about listing. I made my rounds, to Staples to print labels and to the PO and then Fed Ex to drop off my sales from Wednesday. Then to Wallymart for flea and tick medication for the 3 dogs. Avoiding sugar (well, mostly) I grabbed a bag of Cheetos. Had cheetos on the mind and I gobbled up a significant amount before arriving home. Being still hungry, I made a roast beef and swiss cheese sandwich.
About 230 it hit me. I don't know what it was. A combo of ultra bad nutrition and being 68 years old, I suddenly had a pain in my lower abdomen near the hip that I can only describe as appendicitis. It would not quit. It did not make me double over, but it was significant enough that I popped more Tylenol and took to the decrepit bed with a heating pad and the phone to google appendicitis.
It finally abated around 6ish. I have no idea what it could have been. Not appendicitis, wrong side. I'm thinking some other -itis, an inflammation of some ducts of the intestine from being overweight, no exercise, not enough roughage (fiber) in my diet, old age, and bad bad nutrition (cheetos).
If this is what getting old entails, aches and pains like THAT, well, then bloody hell. Goodbye Cheetos along with the sugar. Hey, maybe my body is revolting against the absence of goodies!
Stream of Consciousness pours from my fingertips.
To continue with the Saga....
I went to the C-wood Honey Hole, which is under new management. I KNEW IT. The place looks like a shadow of its former self. I did manage to find a DVD of the Wizard of Oz, an official 3 disc release sealed, originally 49.95$ For me??? 99 cents.
But that is all I found.
On to another Goodwill on US42 that I had never been to before. I picked up a pair of Capizio tap shoes, high heel, for 4.49$ Retail around 90$ Look like they were used maybe once. No scuff marks, no bending on the leather. Almost perfect.
I will hopefully flip 6$ in to 70$
I'll let you know.
