Well, this has been a rough week. There are not too many weeks where I feel like I am getting old but this was one of them. Saturday while working to get parts off my old jeep which was crushed by a tree I managed to have the car come off the jack, and as I tried to save it from falling I got clobbered in the head by the farm jack. My head is still bruised from that one and anytime I yawn it still hurts. If that wasn’t enough, Tuesday night my stomach started hurting to the point that at 2 am Wednesday morning I was in the emergency room. Turned out I have Diverticulitis, they pumped me full of antibiotics and pain meds and sent me home to have only clear liquids for the next few days. After all that fun I feel drained, it will be hard to remember a week which so much happening in it. Even the week last year, when I ran the Pikes Peak marathon and moved my son in the same day, didn’t drain me like this week has. To add to the feeling of old age, I had three interns start this week. College-age students with all that energy wanting to learn and work this summer make me like all the energy has gone out of this old timer. The good news is I can sleep away my weekend and hopefully recover, perhaps I could also figure out something stupid to do, which will get me in trouble, which in turn will make me feel young again!
