THEY HAVE ME UNDER YARD ARREST.

It is early Saturday morning, very early. The Emperors Television woke me at 2:30 and I've been up since. I really can't blame it just on that though. My wrist has decided it wants to feel like a toothache. UGH! I think I turned it the wrong way or something. Oh no, I am whining again. Sorry.

I wrote a yesterday about my fall. Within two hours of the event. I call it an event since I never broke anything before. Anyway within two hours the Emperor and both my children said, "No more walking outside the yard. " Who wants to speed walk in the confines of a yard? The answer is nobody. You cannot speed walk around a yard, its not possible. .

When I walk I want the outside, the street, cars passing, dogs barking. I want the freedom you can only get by walking at a good clip down the side walk or in the street. Now I know how a caged bird feels. I am surprised any of then sing.

Good grief I gave up driving, now they want to take away my walking. Lets be reasonable people. I am not a hundred yet, please don't try to take my freedom away. Now I don't want to fall again. Its not fun and I sure don't want to step out in front of a car. Thinking about the Emperor being a caregiver sends cold chills down my spine. What a awful picture that brings forth. But you have to remember quality comes before quantity. Quality days for me sometimes has to include walking. I am getting older but I am, was and will always be a free spirit. I use to just jump in the car and take off, those days are over. I cannot give up the walking.

I am being good for the time being. How long will that last? I am not sure. I sit out in the yard around six and watch the gate. The birds even seem to be saying, "Come, come and let the wind blow in your face." You cannot get that feeling walking around the fence. So I am biding my time. Just waiting till my feet under their own power edge towards the gate and freedom. So if you should spot an older lady with bleached hair trucking down the street. Just give a shout out because it probably will be me. But I guess for today I will be satisfied to at least wander to the edge of Blogland. So for now, I'm outta here.
