I am slow to start today.

I am slow to start today.  I wanted to be at work already, but I can feel this cold in my bones and it aches.  I am also not entirely sure I want to leave the house after what happened last year.  You know - that time I walked 7 miles home in the snow with Shaun.  Sounds like a story that your grandparents would tell to guilt you into thinking your life now is easy, but that shit really happened.  I didn't know I had arthritis back then, either, so I wasn't on anything for my joints and the pain was pretty bad.

I guess I'm putting on my brave face and leaving.  But at the first sign of trouble I'm heading home.  In my car.  Since it's not beautiful and shiny and new I don't give a shit if anyone runs into me as long as they don't hit me TOO hard.  😂😂😂
