Day after recovery ROFL

Recovery? Whuts-dat?

Domestic duties, IE, Laundry n stuff. Only, laundry become ‘help Da split up a ton of Hickory and Live Oak.’ Yeah, recovery,,,,

In a small way, it probably DID help, by keeping me from stiffening up, but now the small of my back has a twinge that wasn’t there prior. Oh well, Hot shower, some tigerbalm and a good stiff drink with a night of rest, should be good to go in AM,,, (I love my tempurpedic,,, )(and three minutes playing a game on my stealth (planking system) has that twinge running for the border. No affiliation, just a system that works for my narrow self.)

Things are getting squirrelly in my world again. Just received word that Da wants to make the move to SC, is actively looking for a place (sis in place as a proxy doing leg work. We could both do it, seeing how we know, probably better than he does currrently, what he is looking for.)

This is both good and bad for me: 1; I’m not quite ready for that move, and 2; I mentioned the darkness issue in a prior post. Love my dad but he is the biggest naysayer in my world,,, But, If he does make the move, it will ease some of his issues (too damned big of a house with way to much damned yard to take care of for one.) and I won’t be alone to help keep an eye on him, so could get some diatance as needed. FYI, my da is 82, still active as hell, but showing signs of the gears starting to slip. (And knows it and gets irate at himself. We want to keep this from becoming a self destruct sequence and he is fully capable of it.)

That brings to mind the biggest fear of most INTJs. Fear of losing our minds. I fully appreciate his frustration because I can concur. Me losing thought processes frustrates the holy hell outta me, and thats on a good day when its simply due to ‘too much on my plate’ or getting distracted by sumpin else. Its also why I have been focusing on memory training stuff, because I fully believe its a ‘muscle issue’ more than just an age issue. (I’ve seen 100+yo people still sharp as a tack with recall that would rival that of a 5yo.) Not to say that age doesn’t have a play in it, but I think ‘lack of exercise’ has more to do with it. Both physical and mental types. And why I do the “you can’t do that,,,” stuff along with the regular boring stuff like planking, pushups, and situps. (Look at George Gilder. In his later age, still running marathons and sharp as a whip with razor blades attached.)(knees are blown so that running is a ‘Nope!’, but walking is still fine, and I do walk, a lot, but could prolly do with a regular course for it.)

Wait a sec!!!! I started that paragraph talking about losing my mind and ended talking about staying in shape,,,

Lol. Thats how my mind works, it follows threads and the rabbit holes get deep and QUITE COMPLEX. (That one was simple like a burrito, but yiu get my point.)

Its sunday, I have 2 days of catch up to do on my reading, and its a scorcher of a day. Cats are flat puddles of feline ooze in sheltered areas inside the house, so you know its ‘stinkin’ hot’ by the cat thermometer,,,, I’m tempted to just crank the fan up and siesta my afternoon away,,, the Spanish had the right if it on that note,,,,
