My nail lady was so happy to see me, and super sweet, and told me another of her clients had a tummy tuck and wasn't nearly as mobile and good looking as me and she was 4 weeks out. Well, I hope she's healing up ok, and thanks for the confidence boost! I was able to get into the pedicure chair and sit through it, plus sit in the regular chair for a manicure with no problemo.
Post-beautification, my number one destination was Target. I needed to pick up a prescription, and I needed to see what was on Halloween clearance. MISSIONS ACCOMPLISHED! The checker was nice and helped me get stuff out of the basket. She bagged everything light so I could get it into the car. They offered an escort and helper to get things into the car, but me being the independent stubborn soul that I am... politely refused.
I got everything in the back of the car, and realized that I could not reach up high to close the hatch (I drive a small SUV), and pull down with enough force to get it closed. Well crap. So I hung out and waited for a nice Target shopper to walk by and asked nicely. Problem solved.
I was also going to head to Home Goods to see about some Halloween clearance, but it had been a big morning, so I decided I was going HOME and then taking a pain pill and a valium. Do we sense a pattern? I can make it through a good 4-6 hours of light industriousness, but then I gotta hit the meds to get me through the rest of the day. I don't want to drive on the meds. Reminder: Sweet talk Mr. Right into filling up my car with gas soon. Running low.
DRIVING: I've found that the seatbelt is a little bit irritating to my breasts, and also somewhat odd/uncomfortable (yet not really "painful") across my stomach. The tummy just likes pressure. I have solved this problem by placing a mid-sized pillow between me and the seatbelt. WORKS LIKE A CHARRRRRM. It's tall and wide enough to cover my breasts down to my belly. It's soft and fleece. I bought it a long time ago and it's my "car"pillow that I keep in there if the kids want to nap on a long trip. Find something that works for you and by all means, work it!
Here is my ridiculously ugly pillow.
I didn't buy it at a store or I'd tell you where to get one. I bought it at a little craft fair/market day at my son's school one year.
Later, (post-drugs! feelin' fine!) me and the fabulous husband/chauffer went and early-voted (LOL, saw Doc and his wife in line), then went out to eat. I'm far more comfortable sitting up at a restaurant table today than I was yesterday. PROGRESS! We even went out to Pinkberry for a little fro-yo date after. We're fancy and exciting like that.
