“They” are saying it is going to rain a lot over the next 24 hours. We’ll see. But, it has been raining all afternoon. Which makes everyone, except visitors, happy because Kailua-Kona is actually a desert.
As for me, I didn’t do so very much today. But, what is new about that?
A LITTLE REFLECTION ON BEING OLD
The other evening I was out for a little stroll. I was looking right and walking left over some crappy sidewalk and SPLAT. No harm was done. Just lost some skin off one of my knees. I tottled on home. Patched myself up. And, was profoundly grateful that I can actually get up. All by myself.
Intent on maintaining this capability, I decided that every day, whilst my morning coffee brews – I will put myself on the floor without using my hands and getup 5 times using as little assistance as possible from anything except my legs. Day One – piece of cake. Day Two – I am a little sore and stiff. Day Three – more than a little sore and stiff. Guess this means I really need to do this. Help, I have fallen and can not get up isn’t a joke in my age cohort.
Kona is kind to old cars and older women. As usual, I’ll miss this place. But, adventures call.
