My Chicago Trip

It is Wednesday bright beautiful sunny morning with 11 C below zero.
I am working full time today. I mean playing Darts and Carpet Bowling
in my library. I am just back from my Chicago trip.

It is ten hours drive, with couple of stop overs, takes twelve hours from 
Pickering, a hectic trip for me, because of my stiff back. Everything went 
well. I was able to push my sister, to get out from her Retirement Home 
premises, to spend some time with me.

My routine is now as usual. I was back on Monday around 10 at night. 
Tuesday, I was busy in my kitchen, had to unpack my stuff and make calls. 
I called my brother, my sister in Chicago and to my other sister back home.

Wednesday, I was working full time but I skipped Bowling as it was tough 
for me to bend down. I played Darts and came back after twelve. My eldest 
grandson is here for his three weeks vacation. I made Mushroom Omelette 
for him. It is such a wonderful feeling to give happiness to the people around.

Tonight for we Seniors, there is Mayor's light Tour of the city of Pickering.
I will go for that. Future, no one can predict. We have to avail the 
moments in hand. My friend will pick me up at 6.30. It is cold 14 C 
below zero, I will be fine. I am all dressed up in layers. 

I have my winter black coat on with my maroon sweater underneath.
Parking lot of the library is full. My friend parked her car across at
the Plaza. It was just five minutes walk. 

My friend picked me up at 6.30 in the evening, I am back after 10.15 at 
night.Tomorrow on Thursday, at 9.30 in the morning, I have my Dentist 
appointment. My back is the same, giving me problem. But I am not 
giving up. 

I think there is a tug of war going on between myself and my old age 
syndrome. I know, I am old, my body is a seventy plus old machinery, 
on top, I am getting older day by day, still I want that, this fight has to 
go on like a seven game series. I wont let it go one sided.
