"You hear laughter breaking through, it makes you want to fart. You’re heading for a breakdown, better pull yourself apart. " - John Cooper Clarke

>Incapacitated.

>Recently I seem to have been sleeping in an odd position and waking up with a stiff arm so this morning I did the usual and positioned myself under the shower so that the stiff area would get a good blast of hot water. As I passed the soap over that area it really hurt but thought nothing of it until I got out of the shower and caught sight of what looked like a burn.

How could I have burnt myself in one specific area only under water that isn’t hot enough to burn? Realising that I wasn’t wearing my glasses, I checked again, bespectacled, and it was the same, just rather less blurry. The ‘burn’ mark is right under the pathway of my bra strap so I’ve been swinging around knocking things left, right and centre today. It is amazing how much my massive bosom gets in my way; it’s a good job that I don’t own anything expensive. I’d be like a bull in a china-shop were I to visit my parents.

Bra-less.

Having said that, I was looking at the photo of me and my daughters. Where did my waist go? I appear to go up from my hips like a tree trunk whereas my daughters have such lovely waists.

I must do something about those glasses too. They are dreadful.

    Nah, you don’t look like a tree trunk. Unless you’re trying to say I have bad eyesight.

    AArrgghh! That waist thing. I never had one to start with but now it’s almost bigger than my hips. I’m killing myself to keep it under control and all that’s happening is my face keeps getting more and more sunken. Que Faire?

    And you do have a waist, and it was evident in the photo of you and your daughters.

    Anon, too – lol. Sweet remark about my waist but look at Tatiana’s teeny one in comparison.

    Perhaps if I send you a photo of my (lack of) waist you’ll stop worrying!

    Could you have shingles? Sounds a lot like what you’re describing. I had it in just about the same place.

    Someone should do research on the problem of vanishing waists after a certain age. I’ve looked high and low for mine.
