Spent the day putting together dressers from IKEA. I’m pretty sure that’s the most middle aged dad thing I’ve ever said.

Fourth day of a low back spasm that has left me feeling as if I were bisected by a shark #middleAge #woe
Today is Going to Absolutely Suck
I have something scheduled for tomorrow. It’s a medical thing. A test. It requires some heavy duty prep-work over the 24 hour period before the test.
The side effect of the preparations is going to be me having one seriously awful day today. Like, grade A suck. Its the sort of thing that would suck for a normal human, but the stomach is involved so people like me who have had gastric bypass surgery (three years ago this coming weekend)… I wonder if it will be worse for me. Probably not, but maybe? We’ll have to wait and see.
Clearly I am not going to share what’s going on until it’s over, if then. 24 hours from now (it is 7:15am) I will be at the clinic, hopefully getting ready to get it over with. I just have to deal with some awful today and a small chunk of tomorrow.
Shit.
Well, she is the keeper.
Keto or paleo...and why..?
In the last few years I’ve had to start getting the barber to trim my eyebrows when I get a haircut. They’re not too bad most of the time, which means I sometimes forget. Then they are really annoying by the time my next haircut is due. #middleage (/friends/tag/middleage/) #funtimes (/friends/tag/funtimes/)

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.

Salut mes Arpenteurs, en ce samedi matin je voulais vous partager une des plus belles chansons de style médiéval que j'ai entendu depuis longtemps. Elle s'appelle "Le roi s'en va chasser" et est interprétée par Cécile Corbel. Tout de suite le lien, et bonne écoute à tous:

I’m tired of working. But I’ve still got 2700 days before I can reasonably retire. #MiddleAge
So exhausted at the end of every day, no matter what I try. Perimeno is an ongoing battle. Healthy food, exercise, meditation, hydration, all the recommended supplements, hrt - juggling it all, but energy levels remain low. It's a struggle.

A quotation from Doris Lessing
You are young, and then you are middle-aged, but it is hard to tell the moment of passage from one state to the next. Then you are old, but you hardly know when it happened.
Doris Lessing (1919-2013) British author, biographer, playwright [b. Doris May Tayler]
The Summer Before the Dark (1973)
