My bad back sucks! I miss being able to clean the whole house and still feel good and not be on my back icing away the pain. I miss earning enough money that I could hire a maid to clean for me and save my pain. Now I'm old, retired, and have to do the mopping and vacuuming over several days or pay a huge price.

never to attempt stifling a sneeze. Just let 'er rip, and you won't literally rip anything on your own body.

I recall her shoes having air holes over the tops.

And I looked forward to the day when I too would wear such shoes.

But the reality was because she was so perfect in my mind, and I was such a fuck up.
