So instead of driving around Texas, we drove straight up to Wisconsin, and then straight back, got home about 11 pm last night. After 12 straight hours in the truck yesterday, I am now fully aware that I have a tailbone, and it feels like somebody hit me there with a sledgehammer. Yay! I have a tailbone. Dang! I have a tailbone...
Hurray for your tailbone to make its appearance while you were sitting for hours

Congrats on your towel closing. I wear mine around the house just a wee bit longer than I need to after my bath...just because I can

I notice my wrist bones a lot too. I actually lost a lot of weight in my wrists, fingers, and face. Sometimes I think my arms look sooooooo long now. lol
