Aimless ambling...mindless meandering... profligate pacing...purposeless parading...time-gobbling trekking...wasteral walking. Glorious galivanting on 2 legs among all the other human bipedalists.
Saturday in my new big black boot, walked to Bethesda and and omelet for breakfast at Daily Bread.
Walked on to Bruce Variety for a lot of white sox, because you can't wash the inside of the boot, and it gets hot in here.
I've been cleaning up since I'm 2-legged again...all the clothes I've been wearing, handily stacked beside the bed, put away. The bin on the bed with cereal and dried fruit -- away.
Today, in the sandal, not the bulky boot, I tried the car. It started right up after 2 months and 3 days stationary. Valiant Kia Rio, noble Kia Rio.

In the car, on Wednesday, I was surprised at how clutch heavy I was. The left foot just charged ahead. It made sense...the left foot and leg have been doing all the work; I've been "stepping out empty" with the right, a tai chi move, for 2 months. But could the left foot/leg have a mind of its own? It just took over, not possessively, like all of me when I'm used to doing something totally myself, but matter-of-factly. The autonomic nervous system. The body. We are fearfully, wonderfully made.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are hot-footing it around! Slow and steady there!
ReplyDeleteHaven't fallen yet, but walking is easier than balancing on a knee scooter...
