Achy Muscles All Over

Weekends always mark the end of a week and the begin of a new week as if one merges seamlessly into the other not just without fail but with too much notice, like the straight line of a cycle.  And, while neither the week nor the weekend means that much to those of us who are retired, this current weekend, ending today marks in my mind at least two days of feeling poorly...  not so much tired or hung over but more like my whole body has been aching whenever I get up and start to move around...  and I sorta wish I had not gotten up at all.

My appetite has been lessening these last couple of months as I have been training myself to eat less at a sitting but eat more often...   aiming for 5-6 times a day or about every 2 hours:  10:00 am, noon, 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and 6:00 pm and if there is anything going to be eaten at 8:00 pm it can only be fruit and cool whip or right around a 100 calories, but more importantly...  it is a light snack.

However, these last couple of days,. not only have I lost my appetite when every time I eat and regardless of what that might be, my stomach immediately feels upset...  not bloated or nauseas but like there is too much acid and I need saltine crackers or a Pepto bismol tablet.

At my age it is a strange sensation because I am concerned that I might be over-reacting if I say something or if I don't bring it to anyone's attention that I will regret it later.  They say old age is a bitch....  but, in my situation and because my body has already been exposed to more than is normal, I am a little gun shy when it comes to ignoring a "sickly" sensation...  but, I do think that I should give this journey at least one more day.
