i hate when people automatically assume that because i say i can't do something or I won't that it's because "of your condition". i was talking to my aunt last nite and we were talking about long distance driving. I said that the only place i drive to is Charlotte because it's only 3 1/2 hrs away and even that is a stretch. she said, "yes yes...in ur condition blah blah blah". she's not the first one with whom I've had this exact conversation to say this. The other person kept insisting that i shouldn't do it blah blah blah...the truth is that i don't drive anywhere because i can't stand to sit in a car for that length of time! I too old for that shit!! back in the day, we would jump in a car and drive to NY and Miami at the drop of a hat....u cyah pay me enuf to do that crap NO MORE...everywhere i go, i fly!
Now don't get me wrong. I know that there are some things that i shouldn't/wouldn't do "in my condition" - u won't hear of me signing up for a 10K anytime soon - but i know what those are and i know my limitations. There was a time ago when i said "to hell with it; I'm doing it" but those days are long gone. My "superhero" days are over!
I feel ya!! Of all people, my boyfriend likes to make comments about "my condition" to me. Sometimes I just want to slap him silly... you'd think if ANYONE is aware of "my condition" it would be me!! Ugh!
