身長ちぢんだ

昨夜、猫背矯正ベルトに目が止まりポチり、去年の健康診断の身長測定で1cmも縮み、何度試しても、背伸びしても、背筋伸ばしても、数ミリかかとを上げても変わらず、測定してくれた女性の半笑いの「歳とると誰でも縮むのよ」の慰めが今だに聞こえ、今年はそれでも1年間無理して背伸びし続けた結果か5mmを取り戻し、あと5mmの来年に向けて早いデリバリーのおかげでランチには矯正ベルトを装着、なかなか、これで無理して背伸びしなくていいかもしれないと。

先日、ミニクーパーを車検に出した。乗り始めて27年、外装の輝きが無くなってきたので、そろそろボディ磨きをしてみてはの誘いに一旦は乗ってみたのだが、一晩考えて、27年間の垢が落ちてピカピカのボディになったとしてそれが良いのかと、新車当時の輝きより27年経った今のくすみの方が価値あるだろうと思い、ボディ磨きは取りやめてワックス掛けだけしたら余計に外装のくすみがマダラで浮かび上がったなと。

年月は無用なあがきと変な納得を生むけれど、また次の機会まで楽しみができたなとも思う。

"Height is small"

Last night, my eyes stopped on the stoop straightening belt, and I shrank by 1 cm in the height measurement of last year's health check. I can still hear the comfort of the half-laughing woman who measured me, "Everyone shrinks when I get older." Thanks to the quick delivery, I put on a straightening belt for lunch, and I thought that I might not have to stretch myself with this.

The other day, I sent a mini cooper to an automobile inspection. It's been 27 years since I started riding, and the exterior has lost its brilliance, so I tried to polish the body and tried to ride it once, but after thinking about it overnight, the dirt from 27 years was removed and it became a shiny body. I wondered if that was a good idea, and I thought that the dullness of the current 27 years after the brilliance of the new car would be more valuable, so if I stopped polishing the body and just waxed it, the dullness of the exterior emerged with Madara. When.

The years have given rise to useless postcards and strange convictions, but I think I was able to enjoy it until the next opportunity.
