So, I had to do this today because I cannot move the plunger down in my Chapstick and I didn’t want to waste it::
I HAVE TO finish it to the end! (Just like Christian Wolff in The Accountant) I have only realized that I do that now that as my disease has progressed as far as it has. I am pretty much homebound now. I only leave my house when I have doctor appointments in person. I have virtual doctor appointments now that Covid is a thing.
I also leave my house once a month to get my haircut and my eyebrows waxed. But the woman who cuts my hair and waxes my eyebrows just had a baby so I was not able to get a haircut or my eyebrows waxed. I’m going on March 9, just in time for my birthday!
But, I pride myself in finishing it to the end. Simple pleasures! But, there was one instance where I ruined it by smashing the cap on the broken plunger of Chapstick. I think of that as my one B+ in grad school. I got one of those! But, in my defense, that same semester I also got an A+, so on my transcripts it’s like I got an A- instead of a B+. That really doesn’t matter because no one ever looked at my transcripts even when I got hired into my one and only ”Big Girl” job.
