This is probably the wrong time of year to make a dramatic lifestyle choice (and it’s not as if I’m all that into change in the first place), but it occurred to me I need to get out more. Once upon a time I used to like to go to movies and plays and ballgames. (Never shopping malls or parties, though. That’s just not me.)
Now all I want to do is stay home. Maybe it’s the big screen TV I acquired last year, because it brings the games and movies home. It’s been so long since I’ve been to a play that I’m not sure if I miss it or not. I used to walk a lot, too. I’d even drive to the park and walk around the lake, but I haven't done that for many years. Part of it is living so far away now, but most of it is simple inertia.
This all comes up because all of a sudden today I could hardly get out of the recliner. The residue of all the stressful work I’ve been putting in lately, including all day yesterday, seemed to weigh me down. Just making my legs work took more effort than I felt like giving. In fact, if I hadn’t found a spiral notebook within arm’s reach, I might not even have written an entry today. Spending much time at the computer was out of the question. |
