OH MY GOD.
I got so caught up in the polyamorous/serial comma discussion that I forgot to recount the hilarious lack of tact I encountered today at my office health fair. I mainly went for the free flu shot, but there was a chiropractor there offering free 10-minute massages too, so I signed up for one of those. And naturally, part of getting the free massage was making small talk with the company rep and listening to his pitch while I waited for my turn. So I tick off the boxes on his little form for sore back and fatigue and mention that all of my current muscular aches and pains are due to carrying a new baby around, etc etc. And he says oh sure, and not getting enough sleep can also make back pain worse blah blah stresscakes...
And then he says, I shit you not, "Plus, if you haven't lost all of your pregnancy weight yet, that could also be a contributing factor."
(((Sean & S))) Tons of -ma for you both. Sean, I'm glad your mother is doing well.
Yay, no cancer, Susan!
You know what else can give you a sore back?
Disposing of a body.
But that's a good pain. Or, at least, worth it.
The trick is to lift from your knees. Or so I've heard.
(PS, YesIhaveandthensomekthxbye)
{{{Sean}}} Hope you're both doing okay.
Jess, what did he attribute the sudden and crippling pain in his groin to?
Yay for cancer-free-ness for Susan and for Sean's mom.
~ma for S.
Oh, yes, yay for no cancer!
Yay no cancer results, Susan! Awesome.
"Plus, if you haven't lost all of your pregnancy weight yet, that could also be a contributing factor."
OMG, why are people so... so... that way.
