Another restless night, followed by a morning headache, which will no doubt compete with a cranky knee as soon as my leg wakes up. I could pop an aspirin for my head, then take my daily walk. But I'd probably walk too far over too many hills, because the aspirin will mask the knee pain and the caffeine in the pill will convince me I'm invincible. After considering the possibilities, I rolled over and slept another hour.
I'm not qualified to operate this body.
It's not the Dawn-mobile I originally learned to drive. That one went from zero to out-the-door in fifteen minutes. It was sleek. It cornered like nobody's business. The paint job was flawless: no puffy eyes or wrinkled thighs. The engine purred, getting along just fine on the cheapest fuel. This one demands gym memberships, yoga classes, chiropractors, and chemical-free, sugar-free, 100% whole wheat. It leaks oil (extra virgin olive). There are dings in the bumper. It makes embarrassing noises.
It's only natural time has transformed me from a hot rod to a rusty beater. However, for the safety of others on the road, the authorities ought to require a drivers license for the body I've ended up with. Then again, maybe not. I would definitely fail the vision test.
