Toenails!
I’m finally of an age that someone else cuts my toenails.
Well, I could do it myself. I can cut my toenails in sunlight! I have problems with vision more than flexibility or dexterity. But the old ladies I hang out with go to this woman podiatrist in town, so I’ve started going too.
She trims my nails, checks my feet out and anoints them with oil. Bit luxuriant, really.
But my next appointment is 9:00 in the morning. What was I thinking?

I too have my toenails done because arthritis.
The first lady I called said she always use a suspension harness and a muzzle.
It wasn’t an S&M thing, she only did pets.

I get ’em clipped, too, stoaty. My toes are mostly numb as a result of neuropathy, and the Medicare boffins say that clipping my own toenails is too hideously perilous and I might break the skin and it could get infected without my awareness, followed by sepsis and soon I’d be DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.
I found I like having it done for me. It’s quite nice!

Anoint. Fun word.
As opposed to the Durnedyankee approach which would probably be to dump a quarter bottle of oil(10W-30 or does it depend on the season?) on my feet.
Excuse me, I just awoke from an extremely vivid dream of Mrs D cleaning out the garage, completely, all her various projects piled on the curb, and me trying to figure out: where I was when the Great Cleansing occurred, what did she do with all my tools, and, honestly, how proud she’d be of me because I noticed without her pointing it out.
