Tile Recovery

I dropped flat onto the cool kitchen tile with a solid clack. Sizzle! That slick ceramic was instant relief for my overheated joints. After tearing across the garden gravel and wrestling that heavy hose, my motor needed a complete cooldown. I stretched my arms straight back, let my boots flop loose, and took in the quiet room. No hurdles to leap. No acorns to dodge. Just total, blissful shutdown.
