Today’s goal, against the advice of my sister, was to go to the laundromat to wash some items too big for our home machines. My Lori advised it would be exposure to too many people/germs for my immune system.

As I said, despite this, I was going to go. My plan was to set everything up and wait in my car till done. When I made mention to my mom of my plan for the day, she too expressed that she thought it wasn’t a good idea. At that point I felt I should listen. Two warnings was more than enough for me. Some people trivialize it, but one run with COVID was quite enough for me. I have enough physical challenges.

Since I was already readying myself to get dressed, I decided to give my room a break and sit in the living room with my mom for a while. We watched a few shows and a movie. At a point, I needed a snack. Upon standing, the dreaded pain in my buttocks hit me…OOUCH! Oy, the only pain medicine I had today was half a dose of extra strength Tylenol… Just enough to get me through the morning routine. My mom gave me an Advil, and I took another in addition to a Tylenol when I returned to my room a little bit ago.

Would’ve never believed 24yrs ago, that sitting would be one of the hardest things for me to do……LIFE
