Please Bear With Me

It’s only noon and I’m already tuckered out. I don’t know why. Arthritis? Too much nooze? Erratic weather? Or some combination of the above?

How do I shake it off? The sun is out today. Maybe I should go outside, have a cigar, and enjoy a harmless book that won’t make me wonder if the author’s crazy. Maybe if I do that I’ll have the oomph needed to get back to work.

Well, I’m sitting here and the clock’s ticking… Out, I say! Out!

  1. I can certainly sympathize with you. I have got almost nothing done this morning. Of course, it is 9:40 here in the west, but I have low oxygen level, low blood pressure and the usual dizziness and weakness, so doing anything more than reading is pretty much out of the question. I’ll pray for you and hope things turn around..

  2. Yes, by all means lose yourself in something else while your subconscious mind works things out. Jump into a Jules Vern book or a challenging crossword puzzle. We need you on track, Lee. Who has time to cover the news as well as you do it?

    1. I opted for Bertha Morris Parker on dinosaurs, c. 1950–one of my favorite books as I was learning to read. And thanks for the sentiment!
