Some words about my toenails

And aging gracefully(?)

I just bought my first “for seniors” product.

It hasn’t arrived yet. Part of me hopes it never does. Part of me hopes the Amazon delivery truck veers off the road, tumbles into a lake, and my package sinks to the bottom. (I hope the driver is OK, though.)

The product? Toenail clippers. For thick toenails. Specifically marketed. For seniors.

I’m 54 years old and I just bought old-people toenail clippers.

Let me back up.
