The rains that never came
We were due to have yet another storm pass through New Orleans early this week but it never came. Instead there has been this thickness in the air that can best be described by trying to imagine you got up and took five Valiums and then walked out your door. That’s about what it feels like. But there is something about this humid, thick, air that has its benefits. Hair and skin stay moist even though aging is drying you from the inside out. Also, it calms you down because you can’t get too excited when you feel like you have a twenty pound wet wool blanket on you.
I went to step class today and I felt like I had to kick start each move to get going. I remember when I used to fly around that step. But the truth is it’s not just the weather, it’s me – I’m out of shape. Blech. The good news is I’m getting back in shape. Yay!
