Ordinary People and Superheroes

I am only fifty two, but because of fibromyalgia, I get up from a chair like an old woman. Now that I'm staying with my mother, I find it too comfortable.

The trees and bushes we could barely see because of the shade are in the open. So is all the junk we have in the back yard. Our neighbors are landscapers and have a perfect yard....
