Walking Up and Down Stairs
🕑 Added 2019-11-11 15:00:04 +0000 UTCThere was a patron request - a video of me walking up and down the stairs in my house. Why do I live in a house with stairs? It's a lease and was available at the time that I needed it, when I was moving back into the States after living overseas for a bit. It's a nice little house, but unfortunately I have done some damage to the railing and walls by using the staircase. That will cost me when I move out. No one can claim Bearhemoths are inexpensive!
First the railing started pulling out of the wall. As a result of that, I switched to leaning on the wall. Unfortunately when you add 665 pounds of Bearhemoth Forceโข to lease house drywall, it does not hold up very well! The wall is dented and squishy all the way up the stairs. Oops! It can't be helped, though.
I have a hack for getting up the stairs if I'm really tired or really full - using my hands and legs. It's not the most elegant way of navigating stairs, but it does the trick. I know it sounds like I'm about to fall over gasping; using the stairs after I've eaten really winds me. That's why I try to limit the number of times I go up and down the stairs, dividing my day into "upstairs time" and "downstairs time". Just for this video, I went up and down the stairs more times than I normally do in a full day. I certainly got some exercise.
There's a surprise about halfway through when my trousers fall down, and because I was doing laundry this morning, I am not wearing any underwear. Whoops! Unless I have my trousers cinched up around the middle of my belly, this is something that happens quite easily. Not to be deterred, I kick the trousers off and finish the staircase voyage in my birthday suit!
