Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 18-3-2020: Spacewalker

18th March, 2020.

It’s something I think I can say with a certain amount of certainty.

I feel ill.

Right at the moment?   My guts are killing me.

I can use my usual solution: tons of vitamin D supplements.

But stomach cramps, and the shakes, are not something I want to deal with.

~≈†≈~

There’s something else, as well.

I joined a weight management programme, back in January.

One that should end in early April.

Should.

Except that it’s been cancelled: Covid19 strikes again.

I know why it’s needed, I know it was one hell of a walk: especially given my leg’s playing up.

It’s selfish, I know,

But, knowing I need the help … ?

Leaves me very angry at it’s cancelling!
