The older I get the more "minor" bumps and bruises hurt. I put minor in quotation marks because when one ache finally goes away after what seems like a couple of weeks of intense and acute aching, something else pops up. So far this year I've had issues with both ankles and feet, then it migrated to my knee, and the heel of my foot, now it's the other knee and hip. Lort. I don't like taking pain relievers but it's left me with no choice on a few occasions. Today isn't too bad, nothing feels debilitating, but I can definitely feel my age in my bones and joints. My goal for the end of the month is to not bump or bang into anything and finally get rid of some of this aching, but honestly I'm not sure what I ran my knee into that's making it hurt, but that's typically Taurus of me, trying to walk through every dang thing. Anyway, I took some photos last week, but I'm a little self-conscious about posting them. After I posted my 2023 update and had a troll tell me I was "still overweight", looked, "dirty and unkempt", "needed to wash my hair", among a few other nasty things (to my credit I told her she looks like a crack-ho), it got me feeling like I don't like being judged by hateful A-holes. I'm not pretty and don't try to be, I've got a large frame, and no amount of weight-loss will change that fact, it's a shame there are still trolls in this community that jump on any chance to neg others especially with dishonest criticism, it makes the entire experience suck and it's part of the reason I quit posting here. BUT, the tools here are very useful and the good in the community far outweigh the negatives. So I'm still getting comfortable using this site again, we'll see how it goes. Hope everyone has a great week!
