Companion

Some nights, I would think how great it would be to go out on an evening drive with a companion or to take an evening walk with a companion.  I have done the latter by myself quite a few times this year but I always think about some really ancient law that basically set a public curfew.  That's why I wish I had a companion so that I would be more courageous and stay out longer.

Last night has been one of those nights, it also doesn't help that my physical pain is keeping me up.  I want to see the doctor but the receptionist always makes me feel like the doctor has no time and that because I am not dying I am not a priority.  I will just wait for my late annual check up. Hopefully by then my body may have heal itself.

In the meantime, I am doing whatever I can to make my body feel better.  If I had a companion such person could help me.  I probably held a hard cover book for too long yesterday and irritated my body again.  It's sad when your body is injured and something as simple as reading a book can cause you pain.

As I watch my parents age, I am fearful when they are gone.  I am truly on my own for the first time ever when both of them are gone. 

Watching them is funny, they get into the most heated non-sense arguments but they always help each other out.

With that said they are not as nimble as when they were younger but they are still very healthy.  I am thankful for that.
