Someone mentioned thumb sucking. I had sucked my thumb all the way up into my 20s, it was so strange!! Then when I met my fiance and we moved in together I stopped, cause it was just too embarrassing!!
It's funny though, if I didn't move in with him, I might have still been sucking my thumb!! I think it was mostly for comfort. I still sleep with my stuffed animals though...... __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

Horseback riding. Was bucked off many times but it was no big deal. Those sorts of adventures would cause lasting damage now.

I might have posted this before in this thread, but I can no longer clean the bathroom all at once or vacuum the whole place all at once. I have to take breaks and/or do one section or task per day. Like one day I'll do just the fixtures in the bathroom like the tub, sink, and toilet.
The NEXT day, I'll wipe down the mirror, the floor, and vanity. Same with vacuuming: I'll do the living room one day, then the bedroom the next day. It pisses me off because I HATE housework even though I'm a "clean freak". It's exhausting, boring, and time consuming. And pointless in a way, as there's already dust on stuff less than an hour after doing it. I want to get it DONE but because I'm older now, I don't have the energy to do it all at once anymore. __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here.

When I was a kid I climbed trees (fell out of a few too.) I haven't been up in one in decades...

Like owl, I now have to just do a little work at a time--regardless of the kind of work. And I don't chew bubble gum. But I have been known to eat ice cream cones and suck on lollipops.

I get that, I really do. Back when I worked, as long as I had my hair colored, perm and expensive product along with all that makeup I used to wear, I felt ... normal. I even used to iron my clothing, buy Hanes Stockings, wear 3 inch heels and drive a car.
I have a different normal now.... I don't iron and can't iron, I let my hair go platinum and I cut it myself, lol. I wear supportive shoes, no stockings and I no longer drive and I can't see to apply mascara. Yeup, new normal for me. Then there is the laundry. I have to use our coin operated machines which takes all day to do 3 loads. I'm exhausted going back and forth and by the end of the day, the laundry gets piled up on my bed. I just push it over to climb into bed to sleep and maybe, 3 days later, slowly I put it all away. I used to have it all done in one afternoon, ironed and all put away. Birdie Quote:

Or prepare everything one day (washing, chopping, marinading, whatnot), then cook the next day. I can't stand being in my kitchen too long either anymore as I get claustrophobic since it's a galley kitchen. And it's hot---no window in there. I could stand it when I was younger. I could also stand at the counter a long time, whether prepping foodor doing dishes. And when I say I can only do one or two tasks in a day for making dinner, such as prepping the chicken with a batter and crumbs (example), this includes clean up for it. It's all so exhausting and time consuming. I can't chew too much hard stuff cause of TMJ, something I had no trouble with when younger. I now have osteoarthritis in the left TMJ, and it makes biting into hard stuff difficult. And I can't or shouldn't chew gum anymore. Hard on the jaw, the dentist said. __________________ Call me "owl" for short! Hmmm....looks like some good tips in here. "Okay, enough photos.

I no longer climb up onto roofs. I suppose I could. But I'm glad I don't need to...

I no longer climb trees, skip, leap tall buildings in a single bound, and cry over spilled milk.
