So today after some bloodwork, we ventured to Lenox mall. We got a wheelchair. It took 3 attempts because most of them were broken. We returned some shoes. I tried on pants, very exciting. After 5 years of looking like fucking Kathy Bates in a sports bra, I am thin again. No more sizes with an x after them. I actually was able to go into anthropology and try on normal clothes and by a pair of capris that were a plain large. Oh hallelujah.
I also bought some funky sandals so if I feel like going out to dinner at night I have something cute to wear.
Now for the wheelchair experience.
Do you realize most people won't get out of your way. They stare at you. I stare back and do the up and down. And to the fucking bitch at Macy's, fuck you! She ran in the handicap stall instead of the other 10 empty ones and peed and then looked at herself in the mirror for ten minutes while My bladder was about to explode. Maybe I am overeacting but there is a big handicap learning curve. Another thing I have noticed is when you need a handicap space, there are a million non handicapped people parked in them.
Ok there is my rant, y'all knew I had to get fired up about something.
Now I am going to nap. Peace.
It's amazing how many people claim to be handicapped and are not - Case in point: Jimmy's ex wife is on permanent disability for not being able to walk, drive or use a computer. Today, after working her Ebay business via her computer, she took her 3 kids in her new car to Six Flags. Wonder is she has a handicapped sticker? I also wonder if she rode a roller coaster....
