The Day After

My shelves are still standing.

Me, not so much.

I can't lift my arms higher than this.

I had to do laundry this morning. In the stackable washer/dryer. I reached up with my right hand to open the dryer door. Wrong move.

I reached up with my left hand to open the dryer door. Wrong move.

I stood and stared at the dryer door for a few seconds, then I said to myself, "Cowgirl up, old lady. You ain't no sissy." Well, I am, but old ladies do what has to be done, so I reached up and opened the door with both hands.

I removed a towel and holding it in both hands started to shake it out. Wrong move. And the same voice said, "Don't be stupid, old lady. Just fold the sucker up and be done with it." So I did.
