Aches and Pains

I woke up this morning with a few minor aches - most notably in my lower back and shoulders - and wondered why. It was a few hours later, while enjoying my second cup of tea and 3 pain reliever tablets, that I realized it was probably because of last night's shoveling. After all, I'd spent over an hour and a half outside moving snow. Which, by the way, is not an easy endeavor when you are standing in snow that reaches well past your knees. (Note to self: start an in-house savings jar to have cash on hand to pay someone else to do this next time!)

I had to laugh. I guess if you're going to get old and have aches and pains when you do activities, it's good that your memory is going too.
