The Group Chat, or, Regarding the Elevator Saga

I've been reading a lot of things recently with group chats as part of the story ... okay, fine, it's fan fiction, it's Heated Rivalry fan fiction ... and it's influenced my thinking enough that when I was thinking of which body parts were being bothered by the elevator/stairs situation today, my brain phrased it as "my hips have entered the chat."

It's been my knees complaining the most, ever since the elevator broke seven weeks ago, and the literal hundreds of stairs I have done do not seem to have strengthened the muscles at all. In fact, my right knee has started creaking and clicking ominously, and yesterday when I was getting out of the car, I moved it in a way that had it twanging like a rubber band, very painful. But last night, my hips were complaining too, and that has continued today, even though I haven't done the stairs yet. Sigh.

Another month of this, eh?

  1. Yikes, your poor knees!!! It's untenable that they don't have another solution.

    1. It really is a crazy situation. I hope we never go through anything like this again.

  2. I am wishing so hard that they'd get right on it--although surely not as hard as you are, but I so hope. Maybe a chair lift on those stairs in the meantime. I'm wishing you a chairlift, too.

  3. KAJKFJDKHGEJKFJKJ THIS MAKES ME SO MAD FOR YOU. But also so happy that someone else has admitted to reading the group chat HR fanfics because I always considered myself above fan fiction and I have succumbed and it is humiliating and also wonderful.

    1. I really never thought about fanfic before now! I watched season one without having read the books, and decided to wait and watch season two without reading them. But I was lured to Threads by HR content, and the next thing I knew, I've read so much fanfic that I don't know what's from the books and what isn't!
