this week

all week

my back, my strong never achy back

got injured somehow...

stress, age, old injury

i have taken to doing core strengtheners

some exercises and heat

and a couple of pharmaceuticals.

the back is doing better now, but i am tired

my bones are tired, my brain feels fuzzy.

it's been quite cold

but the snow is gone again.

and school, my work

has been, shall we say, theatrical.
you would hardly believe what's happening in public education
it makes my back ache, my head spin.

there are some things that brighten my days

like this sunset yesterday.

i am hoping december will soften things a bit

some snow,
some caring,
some love

otherwise,

i will miss the small miracles

for grumpinesses.
