I actually feel human again!

I actually feel like a human again.  Showered, dressed teeth brushed and even accomplished something today!

I figured I should "train" to get my energy back up to return to 12 hour shifts at work next week so I went for a walk.   I made it about a half mile before I found a bench to sit on and talk to an old WWII vet.  It was kind of cool because he was in the Navy and flew bombers and I just watched Pearl Harbor yesterday.  Although he did his time in places I didn't realize had anything to do with WWII like "South of Africa".  Guess I need to check my history and geography books again, that never was  my strong suit.  Nice old guy , he has a "barkless" dog that kind of yodels.  After about a 20 minute talk with him and resting I told him thanks for his service to our country and walked back my half mile.  (for any that might be mathmatically challenged that is 1 mile total).    I was actually short of breath and sweating...I could smell my pits, and I showered right before I went.  That's just gross!  Tomorrow my goal is to walk 2 miles, sad but true.  Bob keeps reminding me "baby steps"

Sunny is awesome, but the way it highlights dirt on your car...not so much, so I made a stop by the carwarsh, love those places.  I felt sorry for the guys working though, they really should be allowed to wear shorts on nicer days, those long pants and shirts make them look all hot and sweatty.  I guess if I were younger that might mean something different, but I am not, so keep your mind out of the gutter!!

I got a few more odds and ends done, overall I am feeling much better about going back to work next week.

Oh yea, got my appetite back today and ate more calories for lunch than I have for the past 3 days, I am thinking the weightloss part of pneumonia is done, a true sign I am on the mend.
