Ache

Honestly, I’m not THAT old.

My neck is stiff. 

My back groans. 

My legs are tired. 

Skinned dried out from winter blues. 

My eye lids are heavy. Work coffee! Work!

That’s not a hot air balloon. It’s just my head.

My sinuses bleed. 

My eyes are watering. 

Can’t kill the ringing in my ear!

Moan!

Groan!

Yet, I carry on. 

The only things that don’t ache are my finger tips. 

I think the bears got it right.

  1. I’ve got the fingertips covered for you.

    Makes you wonder if they put something in those Twinkies/Zingers we ate growing up, doesn’t it? It was… The creme filling! Betcha. 😆

    A commiserating hug sent your way…
