Of course she knew I was stealing from her I suppose. But I was strong AF. I pressed my clothes every day either at 10, or midnight, or right early in the morning before I left.
She got home at 3ish talked to me in my sleep when she got home, Dad left at 4:45, I left as close to 6 as I could. Completely opposite schedules while my sister did the 9-5.
And my voice didn't change, still did my ballet 3x 3 hours per week until I was in college, played trumpet too, HEY!! Gloated over an adam's apple, never got one or wisdom teeth, but my voice did sink when I turned 22'ish.
I started young and got out early (college in at 17 out at 20), but I didn't break 100 till I was in my mid 20's. I'm 5'9", thanks Irish dad who was 6' 4". Mom was the short plumpy Italian. Sorry twin sis. She dealt with thin hair, bad teeth, and 3 kids. Not my problems. Especially the db husband/first boyfriend ever.
But slather on the mayo, and black pepper, and let's go skiing.
Dad bod: I'm now at an IPA weight of 145. It's weird knowing that one through hike would take me down that hard, but I now invest in clothing that keeps me not freezing my balls off. Maybe that's why I tele and drink beer. I was 93 when I got off the AT, I've been in climbing fighting weight at 125. Add a couple decades and the pounds definitely add up. I think I'm at 139 or 143 depending on what I shit or cook. I still feel not in fighting shape. I feel in listening to perspectives, having tea, quitting caffeine and pondering a solution that matters shape. I'll take some weight for that all day long. And some BP meds. I don't know how those crept in. Probably my brain.
But to be completely honest, it's just the beers, cigs, instability, and a metric shitton of stress. I am brutally honest with myself and my doctor. I implore you to be also. We all make our own decisions and live with them. I have not a soul in this world that gives a fuck or that I have to take care of. But, it is nice waking up every day, despite.
My life every day amuses me. For serious. Every day. I feel grateful for not succumbing to radical tendencies of all types and taking it all in relative moderation with thought.
And "bonewrenched", send me a pm with your address. I've been saving a kid friendly hot sauce bottle from my last batch that I will gladly gift to you for the work you are doing. Not joking. That way you can do Daddy sauce and hers. That would make me very happy, and her too. I remember my pallet at that age. One red chili flake down the throat in a white clam sauce and I'd be grabbing my tongue jumping around the kitchen like a 4 alarm.
