Old Age Day by Day September 16, 2011

I wonder about this body of mine sometimes.  I didn't really walk yesterday, and my body is stiff and complaining.  It wants exercise.  I sort of heard it grumbling, but wouldn't listen.  If I want to feel really old, all I have to do is stop moving.  Today will be different.  I am resolved.  I have to engagements with friends, and I'm walking as much as I can in and around being out, and maybe after I've finished with the second, I'll mosey around by myself. 

I was thinking yesterday that I don't have one good chair to read in, and that doesn't help either.  I'm so short that my feet don't touch the ground, so I get myself in contortions to feel braced and comfortable.  I need good light and a chair that fits me.  Yesterday I was in a huge chaise lounge chair in the sunroom, and nothing was supporting my lower back.  I just wanted to be in a light, cheerful room, but I would have been better off hanging myself upside down from the ceiling, like a spider.  They probably have plenty of light, and they are supported by a web of their own making.  I'm going to solve this sedentary dilemna, and also the sedentary problem of not being active enough.  At least I can dance to my Gypsy Kings and tromp around the neighborhood.  Girl, get your dancing feet on!
