It's Just Old Age

---

This old gal…

Had an aching back…not from hiking…or safaris….long walks…or rock hunting…

This was the…this old gal opened the kitchen cupboard…gently…with one finger…while chatting away…kind of injury…bam….out of commission...

Use liniment…and whine….ice it with a frozen bag of peas….and whine….take pain medication….and whine some more…and fuss…and want to know the cause…

This husband of mine….a worldly man full of all kinds of wisdom…offers up the….it’s just old age…insight…

To which his whining wife searches….back spasm causes…this one…nope…that one…nope…then there it is….exercising after NOT exercising for awhile….aka being lazy the last six months…and then thinking you can walk miles like you did 20 years ago…

And the lack of supportive shoes….while finally exercising again after six months…aka someone...needs...old lady shoes…

So just as this old gal thought...it’s just...old age…

And this husband of mine…agrees...
