OK I'm thinking that the snow can end now.... I've had enough this winter,...the cold can end now and the ice can definitely end now! Christmas is over and we don't really need any more. Hubby and I went out for a walk last night.... this is not just some easy thing you know! Firstly I don't have any boots.... that's my own fault since I am so darn picky about footwear. I'm not just going to go and spend a $150.00 on any old thing. So I hunt for footwear. I try things on, and walk away, and savour the delights of fit and comfort and ease of putting them on, and reflect on the price, before I finally go back and purchase them. More often than not the boots/shoes in question do not make the grade and so.... I often am footwear-less. I have a really good set of runners right now but quite frankly I'm hopelessly low on footwear at present and I am going to have to bight the bullet and actually buy a pair. I think I have finally found a pair of wintery shoes that I am willing to fork out money for. They are a pair of walking shoes at Back Country (which is an outdoor camping, fishing, hunting supply store). So when I go to FSJ in the near future I guess I will go through the life altering experience of purchasing footwear.
The reason for this change of heart is aching in my bum right now. You see, when I walked out the door last night to go walking in the FRIGID AIR under a wintry sky, I took my first step down the front steps and landed on my tail bone. This is not good for someone with back issues and is too scared to visit the inside of the MRI machine to go forward with more back surgery which is what I am being told is what is needed for my back to be a functioning part of my body. Anti inflammatories are the only thing between me and complete sedentariness.
As a result of all the previous diatribe... I have concluded that hibernation through January and most of February is the only thing that keeps me sane.... before I started the Master's Spinners program January was my month for reading.... now it has become my month for homework. (which I'm going to have to give up for one #@$#% jacket commission)!!! Walking is unheard of since any fall could set me permanently in a wheel chair. So it was after quite a bit of cursing that I decided to venture into the great road beyond to walk the treacherous fields of snow and ice that have formed on the road, driveway, walkway, forest,.... and pretty much anywhere I look. I walked a short 1/2 km and thought about my aching bum and the bruise that was forming there and then felt my back giving me the nasty and turned for home. You see... now we get to the reason for this title.... I really am just an old bear! Hibernation would be good and considering the Christmas weight gain..... a little living off my fat wouldn't hurt me either!
