ÑAËC SAN BÌNH ÑÒNH

the gray sky;

as if they said goodbye to sunny and nice weather.

at this time of the year, it is usually wet, cold, and dark in early
morning.
I sometimes prefer to skip our routine walk, especially under freezing
rain.
I really hate the numbing feeling of having my toes imprisoned in soggy
shoes
as I often accidentally step on
either muddy layers of decayed leaves on wet ground
or cold puddles on the watery trail.
unfortunately, I have a demanding partner.
regardless how bad the weather would be,
I have no choice.
anyway, I do it
neither for big money nor for sex,
but for our cozily loving relationship.
my loyal lover is too demanding to allow me any single day off.
he whines;
he cries for attention;
he barks every morning,
until I lift my lazy ass up and go out for a walk with him.

he is my most serious exercise master
who constantly helps me make my old bones anew again.
