Thursday: Exertion
Tonight, 100 words on exertion.
Leah says:
It’s not like I’m out of shape, you know. A nice, casual walking tour through the city usually makes for a wonderful day. But today’s events have left me exhausted like I’ve never been before. And echoes of my dad’s stern voice telling me, ‘Buck up,’ just make it that much worse. I’m so close to giving into tears.
But then I feel Charlie sigh softly against my shoulder. The meds have finally really kicked in, and he fell asleep about five minutes after sitting down, leaning into me as he too succumbs to the effects of today’s exertion.
