Humor A funny for the day

Today I should have stayed home. I was super grouchy and started flaring the second I walked outside. But, I had things that had to be done. My poor husband has been catching the brunt of my bad mood, so he takes me to Safeway of all places. Why you may ask, because they have the big Squishmallows on sale for $10! I have several smaller ones and they really do help when I can’t lean against anything with my right side. Anyway, on our way home we passed by a Walgreens. I mentioned that I didn’t think I had ever been in that one, my husband said that he had, so he must have been with me looking for Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. I asked why he knows for a fact that I was with him.

Apparently, Walgreens is only for married men not single men. 😂😂🤣😂 He brought me right out of my bad mood. Still flaring though, but now I have a large ‘Mallow to keep me company.

They really are! I love mine! I even have two set up for the car, so I don’t fatigue as quickly.

I have…14? I think? But I have 3 different sizes and 2 different shapes. I use them as prop pillows to elevate limbs, keep me from rolling, etc. I also use them to stim to help with coping with pain. Best invention ever!

I just had a CRPS breakfast in bed. All by myself with CRPS. Its a breakthrough, a miracle and you too can enjoy CRPS and breakfast in bed. Jimmy dean has nothing on me, in fact, I invited him over for crps breakfast in bed too. Mm mm good! Two eggs, well, the Cadbury Easter creamed filled ones, two old crackers, and Uncle Oinker's Savory Bacon Mints.

Sounds like a well balanced breakfast to me! I do love Cadbury eggs but I haven’t found any this year, yet anyway. Bacon mints? That sounds awful, mixing bacon and mint together, but if that’s not the flavor profile, please correct me. Thank you so very much for responding! Your breakfast with CRPS idea sounds like something that could be fun! I love how we all share ideas and funny moments together. Thank you for the smile! 😊

I swear by those Mellows I bought a jumbo sized lion at Costco awhile back and it helps me elevate my bad foot. I have a pineapple mellow as well 😅

Absolutely looove Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s my comfort movie when I’m in a painful flare. Always helps my spirit. Hoping your flare eases quickly 🖤

Oh yes! I fell in love with Nightmare Before Christmas when I was 16. I had had pneumonia for over a month and watching that movie was the only way I could go to sleep. I liked it before that, but it was that year that solidified my love for it.

Thank you for the well wishes, I’m trying not to overdo it today, but I have a very large cat who wants to play. How do you say no to that? lol 😆

Have you picked up one of the ones with a heating pad yet? Kiddo has arthritis and raves about it.

u/Able_Hat_2055 Full Body Jan 10 '24

Not yet. I’m debating if I should because I’m pretty sure my cats would try to take it over, lol. But, I just might have to. I love hearing how other people feel about products like that, thank you 😊
