I wasn't smiling. I had every reason to, but I was super tired to even lift a muscle in happiness. At this moment, I wished my body could give me that stoic feeling, but nah. I got stuck with the pains in my limbs and aches in my body as I went back home.
I started today with a lot of determination on what to do, things to get in place, and more reasons to go out. Before the weekend fully kicks in, I knew I had to go out for a walk. For a while now, I have been indoors and mostly do little exercise on the staircase and also performing my daily routine. My days had been like that, staying indoors since Monday.
Hence, today, I took not just a walk but also went to the market to get foodstuff and also little things for a friend whose wedding I wasn't able to attend. I'll be visiting her on Sunday, so that means another legwork.
Tomorrow will mainly be for relaxation and little home exercise. Going to the market was a great idea to get some little things ready for Christmas but, what made it not too good was the traffic jam plus unnecessary yet necessary walk that I had to take because of road fixing.
It was already noon when I got into the first transit heading my way. After a long zoom and zoom, I got to my destination, then took a tricycle headed home. Before that, I had gone to the bakery to get bread because I knew it would be unfair to put myself into kitchen work again when I got home. It was after I left the bakery and took a long walk down that I was able to enter the tricycle headed home.
The moment I sat down with my shopping bag in my hands, tiredness slipped in, and my fingers became elastic. It was like it couldn't lift anything nor hold on anything. So, I had to relax as the tricycle moved and then it came.
I didn't know when I moved from my tired state to moving my head back and forth as "I need you" by Marc Anthony came on in the tricycle. It was real. The smile on my face as I sang to the song. I didn't even mind the ache in my body. The headache that was present went to sleep as I sang happily to the music.
It brought this sense of peace, calmness, and love in me. Reminded me of memories that became vivid as I sang on shining my teeth.
The moment I got down from the tricycle and took another 10 mins walk home, the pains returned, lol. But still, I am grateful I took the walk as I did feel refreshed after taking a shower and eating. I am glad I was able to get things done.
