ooohhhh aahhhhh ouch/johno style

My old body is achey.
Wonderful long weekend.
Bike ride on trail on Sat
Sunday bouncing babies up in air and on the
floor rolling and playing and oh what great joy
grandchildren are
Nik is ok
in denial of course its
everyone else who has a problem
not him
he just likes it!
thats why he does it
but now that he doesn't have a choice
hhhmmmm
but Lily baby and Helena baby
and Helena calling me Gram baby
oh what fun!

Then today
up to Seneca Rocks
no I can't make it
1 and 1/2 mile straight up
I'm not in as good a shape as
I thought I was
Oh God help me
1/4 way
but keep going
1/2 way up I realize I hav not
stopped to rest
for more than a minute or two
time to time
and i am keeping up with DM's slow pace
but I am keeping up
and 3/4 I was sure I had to quit now
Just can't do it
but then look
wow
whoooo hooo
beautiful view

wait wait
you can't mean we have to go
not already no
I want to soak it in
and up and
ok going down will
be easier than up
it will won't it?
oh God my legs are like
jelly all shakey
and all those damn steps
geez
I made it
not as fast as Ellie
she's 20
she has strong young
legs and body and
she didn't smoke for 25 years
uh ho
more excuses b u t
I did it
and all within 2 hours
I didn't die
I didn't stop
no heart attack
no shame
no fun tho either
oh I looked just awful
all red and puffy
sweat more sweat than anyone else
well maybe not

home
in pj's by 7pm
on puter
blessed
alive!
blessed

so ready for bed
hope he doesn't want
aerobics in bed tonite too

I like the style too. And can visualize what you are writing. Legs like jelly, shaking--I've done that without a bike ride.
