-break some planks with my fists

Just watched this Tai Chi master breaking planks. After decades of this, and years of- whatever this is....sometimes I actually do just want to break something. So if I could feel 100% recovered and better- maybe I too would want to break and plank and then enjoy gazing at it in two pieces.

I would rent a fast car and buy a guitar (I use to love playing music). I would also start making complaints about my doctor and the psychiatrists who had me sectioned and made my ME permanently worse.

I would clean my house until it shines. BY MYSELF. Then I would landscape my yard so it is more attractive. BY MYSELF. Then I would go through all the boxes in my basement. BY MYSELF. Then I would go INTO a grocery store and pick out my own groceries. BY MYSELF. Then I would plant a veggie garden. BY MYSELF. (can you see how frustrated I get having to have everything done for me?)

Long term maybe I'd find a husband. I've given up trying to even think of that possibility when men 20 years older than me can run circles around me. Heck if I was cured, I'd probably go for someone in their 30s (aka 20 years younger) so THEY could keep up with ME. :rolleyes::rofl::whistle:

Then I'd take care all of the rest of you that didn't get your wish granted. :hug:
