The sucker punch
Just when you think things are going along swimmingly, something happens which acts like a slap in the face. A wake up call. A sorry sign that you are not in control, never were, and never will be.
Woke up. Paid some bills. Dug out an exercise video (yes, an actual videocassette tape). Went for a walk. Built some Legos. Looked at my phone. Stayed home.
I watched a video of an interesting fellow who talked about the human body as a system rather than a series of parts to fix. He gave a cooking lesson (curry, one of my favorites!) and explained the attributes of each spice. For example, pepper is a digestive, anise is an anti-fungal and moderates menopause, cardamom supports respiratory function, turmeric is an anti-inflammatory and aids in liver function, cumin lowers cholesterol, coriander is an anti-microbial, etc. Really very interesting. I'm glad I wrote it down or I'd have forgotten everything except curry is good for you!
T made supper tonight and it was delicious! Steaks, fried potatoes and salad. He is really a good cook.
The day was above freezing, but overcast and windy. I went out for another walk in the evening and the air was thick with mist. It's strange that there aren't more people out walking in our neighborhood.
We watched a family movie this evening. An action film with a car chase, the good guy getting chased all over by the bad guys but ultimately triumphing. I guess I'm glad I watched it because it took my mind off "the slap."
The only thing I can control is me.
