Looks Like This Most Definitely Will Extend Into Week 3. At this Time I'm Not Optimistic, But I Know Sitting Still is Recovery

Truth is, I wonder, what happens to the human body if it has no exercise? I'm used to a running life, and a walking life, and the outdoor life of doing yard work, followed by the gym life, followed by indoor cleaning. The fact that I'm now Day 11 of sitting still...walking on one floor, one room at a time, and sitting most days with ice in my lap has me thinking, "What is happening to my muscles? My chemistry? I come from the land of big people and have always been husky. But this is WITH daily exercise. What will I look like at the end of this all?"

Truth is, I ventured to the end of the driveway and back and now I'm sore. I also raised my outdoor umbrellas, because my friend Susan and her daughter came by for dinner (we ordered out...don't worry). But, phew! That did me in.

I continue to be thankful to Dave, who is doing NOOM and wants his steps, so he's been a master dog-walker (in fact, he goes for an hour and that is my style - I can't appreciate him more). I'm also thankful to Vazzy's who, for $40, can make a meal that will feed four people and still have leftovers for days. 

I am wondering, however, will I result in a blob of a human being, where bones, veins, and neurons no longer know how to function with muscle. I feel like a blob. Well, I feel like a blog with an ice bag in its crotch. The soreness continues and reminds me, "Crandall! Sit the #$@#$ down." I listen.

I can say, though, that I made it the entire day yesterday without 4-hour naps, read much and wrote more. I'm hoping for the same today, as colleagues are coming over for a check-in and another evening of back-patio conversation. The water guns are in every room, and Karal responds well to them. Hyper little fur-ball she is with company. 

Ah, but it's a TGIF...so TGIF, people. I'm just wondering now, "Will I be ready by the time the semester begins?" At this time, I'm not so optimistic. 

We shall see.
