Today is one of those days that makes me wish we had six or seven hot tubs strategically placed around our house (to those of you who’ve seen our tiny house, you’ll know what a joke that is, but not really, because I do wish for a hot tub). I’m old, people. I’m old, I’m sick, and staying up late makes me achey.
At work, I am on duty *all though* lunch hour and don’t get to eat lunch and I patrol the halls on two separate floors for an hour. First of all, I’m a big girl. I like eating lunch. Second of all, I’m a big girl. Climbing all these stairs after not really doing so for the past couple of years (yes, we have stairs in our house, and yes I climb them, but I mean huge flights, like 50 stairs between each floor and yes for those of you who are fit, it’s nothing, but for me? with my lazy ways? it’s SOMETHING) is making me achey. AND since I’ve been wearing skirts my crazy old thighs have been rubbing together and chafing. Oh yeah, that’s sexy.
Today on my eighth or ninth clamber up the stairs I started sneezing and a giant booger flew out of my nose. From the cold I have. And since I’m old, but not yet that old, I didn’t have a kleenex stuffed up my sleeve. Luckily though, I was beside the girls’ washroom and was able to grab some paper towel.
AND! I have other things I’m cranky about a little bit but I don’t want to get into them right now! Because I said so! And Simon says hello to all of you from his perch on my bra! Because I took my bra off when I got home and flung it on a chair and I guess he thinks it’s comfy!
Okay! That’s all!
you know, addition elle has little cotton shorts things that you can wear under your skirt to avoid the chaffing thing.
I used to have some… but they are gone, and there’s no addition-elle where we live. it’s all very sad really.
You sent me into an absolute coughing spell when I got to the part about being old but not that old that you have a kleenex up your sleeve. You’re killin’ me!
So do you have this lunch patrol every day because that would really suck.
I totally walk around with Kleenex up my sleeve — even when I wasn’t considered “old.” Chronic, low-grade allergies will do that to a person.
After a week or so, those aches will disappear, and the stairs will be good for your cardiovascular health.
I know — SHUT UP, Terry
