Time Keeps On Slipping Away

It's funny how things can just sneak up on you ... time, weight, gray hair ... all sorts of stuff and you never notice until someone brings it to your attention. Amazing. Since my issues becoming worse I found myself almost trapped in my own home. Not able to drive, constantly stumbling or falling, having to use a walker, not wanting to go anywhere because I didn't want people to see me at my worst and I damn sure didn't want to go anywhere that would require me needing that freaking rollator. So I would just sit in the house. This led to my next slip up ... my appearance. I broke the one rule I always stress to other 'fluffy' girls ... always look your best. This doesn't mean full drag, it simply means at least take the time to make yourself appealing. Clean body, fresh face and soft skin (so when your partner is rubbing your shoulders to make you feel better you won't start a fire). Ditch the torn, dingy t-shirts and old sweat pants around the house and invest in soft lounge wear, sundresses, cute t-shirts, clean sweats. Your hairstyle can be a cute ponytail or a nice short cut, try to stay away from the all day satin caps (WHY???) and hair rollers. If you're like me you're also not able to do your own hair. That's okay too. Bed hair is a thing now. I'm also thankful for a hubby that can use a ponytail holder. So even when you don't feel your best, trust me ... if you put on your best it will make all the difference in the world ... for him and YOU.
