Pat tore his Achilles tendon Monday night, and I just realized that in middle age, you should be lifting weights not to look hot, but to prepare for the day you need to care for another adult-sized human. (And unfortunately, I hadn’t been lifting weights for either reason.)
Also, I’m so grateful that at least *he* is strong and able to do a lot of the work of moving himself around.
(And don’t worry; I’m being super careful because if I get injured or sick right now, we’re truly f’d.)
