A New Unexpected Milestone

So. We’re there. 

I know I’ve been having some pretty ridiculous issues with my hands in the recent months. While my pain is currently managed, and I can do most things without pain, it appears they’re weaker than they were. Hopefully some strength comes back soon. 

That all being said, maybe we’d be here even if I was at full strength, and pain-free. 

This morning, I couldn’t open the new carton of almond milk. Sometimes I find the seals on the 4L milk jugs really hard to break, but the almond milk spout has never been an issue. This morning, however, it was just seemingly pushing into the carton more than not, and I couldn’t get a good enough grip on it to open it. 

So Dekker did 😳 Like, immediately. Without problem. 

So. We’re there. My eight year old son is stronger than me. It probably helps that he has smaller hands than me, and can more easily grab the small twist-off cap. Maybe I’ll choose to believe thats why. Or that my hands aren’t up to snuff. 

Orrrrr he’s just stronger than me. 

Where has time gone??? 😩
