Rick and the Oldest, New Year’s Eve ~ Central Park
Today I’m walking around the office like an old woman. But for my jeans and my non-styled, non-dyed hair, I would blend in. I’m barely lifting my feet off the ground, so my presence is announced by the old lady shuffle that’s so prevalent in my office. Except I’m not old. And five trips up four flights of stairs with crap (including two bicycles) on Sunday should not have done this to me, should it? I’m blaming it on the stairs because while my arms and back are a little tight, they’re not painful, so it couldn’t have been the lifting. But my quads…well, my quads have decided that I am the enemy. Particularly the part of my quads near my knees. My knees and I have had an uneasy truce for years, and I think they broke it to sway the quads over to the dark side. Traitor knees, trying to be old before their time.
My face, on the other hand, is suffering more breakouts than a 13 year old on a chocolate-covered french fry and Pepsi diet. That, I know the cause of. When I was in for my yearly exam last month, Good Gynecologist put me on a sample Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, which has lower amounts of hormones in it. The hormones that were apparently keeping my skin clear over the years. After this month I’m going back to the regular level Pill. I already get carded on a regular basis and occasionally mistaken for a high school student at the Oldest’s school, we don’t need to add to that.
Whoever decided that the teen years were the awkward body phase was obviously not taking the Pill while moving friends into a fourth floor apartment.
