6. I take Sweet Dreams to the touch-less automated car wash

I'm not hand washing or waxing her by hand because I'm not risking jacking up my sacroiliac joint (ongoing issue if I'm not careful). This sacroiliac joint can cause mobility issues for me to the point where I can't walk.


I'm not jacking up my neck or the traps in my shoulder blades either.


Last June, I did something to my right shoulder blade trap and I was miserable for over a week. I just got done explaining to someone about my then painful trap and it loudly popped on it's own about 10 minutes later. They heard it loudly pop. Moving forward after that loud popping noise it started feeling so much better.


I'm not exactly "old" but my main career path is making sure that my senior clients are taken care of and if I can't work, I don't get paid. I have to be careful about things that I really can't do.
