10-77 (18/3/23) -- Seasonal Affliction

The day has been grey and colder with misty drizzle. Snow is melting slowly, so it is beginning to look more like spring.. I spent the day doing laundry and other household chores. I didn't get it all done as hoped. I slept poorly last night so I felt fatigued most of the day. The lower back pain I've had for a while referred to other areas that made movement very bothersome. I visited the physio yesterday and the session really hurt. That pain affected my sleep. I was pleased to wake with far less pain today. This enabled me to do some of the housework today <yay> <smile>.  

I went for a walk just after sunset. It was raining and felt warmer than I'd expected. There was much activity on the streets as the party from yesterday seemed to have carried over into today. Fireworks being set off as groups walked down Main Street startled me a couple of times. Ambulances and By-Law Enforcement were patroling the streets all day. This whole thing makes me sad. Granted, the noise and partying seems far less crazy than in years past, so maybe we are making some headway. 

Pondering the goings on in town this weekend and looking at the calendar made me think this could be a symptom of spring fever. The final push to the end of term is underway and the equinox will officially arrive in a couple of days. Lyrics that speak to this seasonal phenomenon seemed to fit well with the day's pondering. It is an older very commercial song. Keep safe. Enjoy!
