Slumping

I think I am getting old for manual labor. No energy, not getting anything done after I come home from work. This morning I just lay in bed awake and not wanting to get moving. All plans have come to nothing.

I am not even sure I can get this post done before I need to get ready for work.

Rejections keep coming in, but nothing has been going out.

CC came over last night full of plans, and I helped her search for a new storage bin. Like me back in 2009, she is trying to hold onto everything while everything spins out of control. 

I had hurt so much on Monday night, I took a muscle relaxer. That left me rubber-legged and a little nauseous on Tuesday. I wish I could say it was that caused me to think my physical therapy appointment was at 4:30 when it was 4 PM. That got rescheduled to today at 2:45. But it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Laundry still needs done. I have been nowhere other than work and the convenience store. Such a dangerous person who worries so much of the federal and state governments. 

One bit of a reading:

 Protestors rally at Indiana Statehouse against Trump administration, part of nationwide demonstrations NPR

Kelly Douramacos, who lives in Anderson, held a sign that said, “I will not go quietly back to the 1950s.” Douramacos, who attended the protest with her husband Yorgo, said she has been horrified by the state of reproductive health care and abortion bans in the U.S. 

To her, the policies of the Trump administration are moving the country backward, not forward. 

“I don't want to go back in our laws and our rules,” she said. “I want to go forward.”

Donald Trump protests: I went to see the biggest action yet against the president. I saw what’s coming.

How am I really feeling?
