Home

I awoke this morning with a pounding head, so home I stayed. I ended up sleeping until noon, and my head eased up a bit. This windy weather is killing me. The wind always seems to blow in something that blows my head up.

I talked to my aunt last night. She just lost her husband last month and it broke my heart to hear her crying on the phone. She got married for the first time when she was 13 (country people used to do that back then) and she married her second husband almost immediately after the first one died, so she's never been alone her whole life. It has to be a terrifying prospect for her. It seemed like everything I said to her was cliched; "he's not suffering anymore, etc." I honestly didn't know what I could have said to give her any comfort. I don't even want to think about how I would feel if Adrian goes before I do. My aunt and my cousin see her daily, and she's in a nursing home, so she's not truly alone, but still.....

Adrian and I are considering buying memberships to the Rec Sports complex at work. It's expensive but no more so than a gym membership and you can go to any of the gyms on campus, plus use the pools. They have Faculty/Staff rooms, so you don't have to mix with the students. There's nothing that makes you feel that working out is pointless like a hot 19-year-old with a perfect body walking past you to the weight room. I'd rather be in a room with the lumpy and old, like myself. We can get a free 7 day pass to see if it would work for us, and my pain situation might be affected negatively. I'll have to see.

you are plum #DDA0DD

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be. Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.
