How I Nearly Perished in a Romper (But Made It Out Alive)

 
Ladies — when you’re of a certain age, home alone, and (most importantly) sporting a frozen shoulder, what must you absolutely not do?

Well, no housework or chores, obviously — that doesn’t even need to be said.

But here’s the one you won’t think of until it’s too late: do not try on rompers or jumpsuits — especially if they’re not the stretchy kind. Believe me, you do not want to find yourself half-in, half-out of a one-piece prison, contemplating whether to call your neighborhood friends (if you’re lucky enough to have friends you’d even consider calling) to come bail you out.

Sure, it would make for great entertainment — and bringing laughter into your friends’ lives is a noble cause. But maybe, just maybe, there are less… compromising ways to achieve that.

This serene Ghibli-style heroine is clearly just a dramatic re-enactment. AI flat-out refused to capture the actual scene, which involved curse words, contortions, and a level of shoulder mobility that would make Cirque du Soleil reconsider their hiring policies.

So yeah — cute jumpsuits are fun. But if you’re home alone with a frozen shoulder? Stick to button-downs. Or just stay in pajamas. Honestly, pajamas are forever.

Neighbors — read: besties in crisis — consider this your official smoke signal for the next neighborhood mishap.

If you hear a shout (or some colorful language), it’s probably me — and I’ll definitely need a laugh… and maybe a helping hand.

Stay tuned for more adventures — hopefully less wardrobe-related!
