Me too! This is great...I smiled all the way through it - and guffawed at "rise and shine but not at the same time." Thanks, Lisa!
You expend so much effort trying to muffle your body's sensations that you forget bodies are supposed to feel good sometimes.
You strain something trying to get into an ergonomically-correct position in bed.
You can carry a plastic water bottle upstairs with one pair of jeans, but if you dare to bring two, your body will yell at you.
You carry a pillow with you everywhere you're going to sit down, for back support.
You're so frustrated at not being able to do what you want that you punch that pillow. Big mistake. Ouch!!
You're known at local stores as that lady who chronically leaves her purse/phone/whatever in the cart and then comes hysterically rushing back to find it. (You've probably spent hours on return trips.) You've also driven away with the drive-up window's plastic tube more than once, so you're famous at the bank too...both for that and for trying to use another bank's slips to make a deposit...oops ;) They're so particular!
You know which stores have automatic doors, and those are the ones you go to. If you must go somewhere else, you stand outside and wait for someone to come in or out and then duck through. People are confused by this because, after all, the door isn't locked. So you point to your back. When a nice person
opens it and you explain that you can't
open heavy doors, she says, "Oh, you're fine." ?? Uh, no, I'm not. That's the point. But thank you.
Sweet dreamies, all!
