Getting soft at my old age

[wiseheart]

We had beautiful weather today: sunshine and 16°C in the early afternoon. So after I had done my shopping trip, Mum and I finally got out of the house. The two things took me the whole morning and early afternoon, so I was accordingly exhausted after that. More so as I had to visit several shops, all relatively close to each other; close enough that taking the tram wouldn't help, so I walked all the way to the nearby small shopping centre at Savoy Park. The distance isn't great, one kilometre tops, but I'm clearly no longer used to good walks. Gone are the times when I had to jog down a fairly long street to work and back...

Fortunately, we still had leftovers, so no cooking was required. I was terribly lazy for the rest of the day, taking a nice, long nap and reading on the iPad. No writing, no crafting - I simply didn't have the energy. Getting old is no fun.

Errr... no, she can't. I did the shopping walk in the morning, and then took Mum out in the early afternoon for a short distance. Like, the corner of our building or so. But it's better than nothing. Sorry if my phrasing was misleading. *ducks*

That's still better than nothing! My mom still hasn't been able to get down these fucking stairs that are the bane of our existence, so I definitely feel you for making it outside being a victory in itself
