You guys. My body is falling apart. I’m getting old (I’m getting old). You knew that though. But I refused to believe it. Last week, I was carrying some groceries for my parents. Nothing major. Just some carrots and milk. And I felt a crick in my neck. Nothing major I thought. And I just carried on. When I got home, I suddenly found I couldn’t really move. Nothing major I thought. I applied ridiculous amounts of Voltarol (I should really buy shares in this stuff), put a microwave bag of that rice thing around my neck, told Chump I wasn’t feeling great and binge watched Bridgerton (https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80232398). Thoughts on Bridgerton? Highly average. Entertaining enough, but Daphne looked like a teenager, Eloise looked like a grown lady. It was cast all wrong. But still, binge it I did. And I enjoyed it too.
Anyway, back to my neck, by Monday, it was still a bit painful. I did no exercise at all this whole week, kind of loafed around watching reruns of Mrs Maisel (best show ever by the way) (https://www.themarvelousmrsmaisel.com/) and worked in my pajamas. This is unusual for me. Normally, I am a fully functional human by 7:45am. I workout, I get my shit done. But this week, I couldn’t move. It was not fun. I did not appreciate my body giving up on me this week. And so I did what any reasonable human would do under these circumstances. I bought a fanny pack. Even just the name of a fanny pack is ridiculous. Fanny pack. In my country (Canada), fanny means bum. Yet in this country, fanny means something entirely different. I was shocked when Chump told me what fanny meant. And he begged me never to use the words Fanny pack again. Ok so what am I supposed to call this thing I bought? Apparently it’s called a cross body bag. It looks like a fanny pack to me. I feel like a tourist. Like one of those ridiculous tourists who wears a baseball cap, Mom jeans (Mom jeans) and ridiculous white trainers. Oh wait, that is what I wear. But my fanny pack is cool. It ain’t no loser fanny pack. It ain’t no tourist fanny pack. It’s a beauty. It’s this piece of work (Palermo Ultra Lightweight Cross-Body – Black / Gunmetal Hardware | KNOMO). It fits everything I need in it and it’s kind on my decrepit neck and shoulders. I am writing this post, while I am wearing my fanny pack, with that microwaveable rice pack slung across my shoulders. Instead of mom jeans, I am wearing pink snake skin jeans, red socks and green trainers. I really do look like a ridiculous tourist. I should actually be on the boardwalk on the Jersey Shore selling funnel cakes or something. If you ran into me, you would be embarrassed and I would be embarrassed. And now I am going to get a cup of tea, some raisin bread and watch Mrs Maisel. Bye.
