#in my defense I haven't been able to exercize like I used to due to chronic illness and I was worried about my muscles weakening

Prologue: I have a hypermobility disorder.

Act I: "Maybe I'll be a good daughter and shovel part of the driveway."

Act II: "this isn't that bad! The snow is very light and powdery this morning. I can do the whole driveway!"

Act III: "My arms. are burning. But I committed to this (I told no one)." *through gritted teeth* "I. will. shovel. this whole damn driveway. mark my words."

Act IV: "My arms are starting to shake and - oops - that's not a good angle to be holding my wrist... I hope I haven't been doing that without noticing..."

*timeskip (to evening)*

Act V: "My right wrist is in a splint, and my left wrist is in a compression brace. Whops."

Epilogue: *fourth wall break* and what might we learn from this tragic tale? Well, when your arms start shaking, you should probably stop five minutes ago, and hypermobile people: wear your damn braces!
