It's still February.

I did make it out yesterday to Meijer's for the cat litter and assorted other things that I hold for that store because it's not available/costs much more at the Kroger's in town. But I felt like it was a massive workout for me. So much so that everything hurt last night. Strained muscle pain, joint pain, strained tendon pain.

Or was I coming down with some flu variant?

I think it must have just been overuse. I realize that I am not getting the former activity level of working five days a week. Honestly, with the leg infection I have not even been trying to do much-needed housework. I wish I could say that I felt fine this morning after a good night's sleep, but I didn't get that (I rarely do these days- stress, I blame stress). I haven't developed anything that would indicate flu, just the usual sinus crud and drainage. I have had digestive-tract problems today, but those can be explained by my poor diet recently, and the problems that have cropped up from that.

Retirement isn't easy, but stress will definitely kill me if I let it. Must work on that.
