Walking was hard, y'know?

Ella had made it a point to do more of it lately, hoping that if her body got used to the activity, she'd be able to fight the aches and pains easier. They were constant though and the blonde couldn't help but feel defeated as she made her way quite slowly to the Astronomy lab, stopping every now and then to catch her breath or grab her lower back. She was struggling and it was the worst.

At least she had a semi-handle on the greying hair and wrinkles. She'd gotten used to coloring her locks so now only a few greys peeked through. It was a pain to keep up with but it was all she could do to feel normal. Gran's anti-wrinkle cream helped too...sort of. At least she was trying to believe it did. Yeah.

Forcing a smile, the eighteen year old finally made her way through the doorway of the lab and didn't notice the lack of lint roller. Honestly, she'd forgotten that was a thing so it wasn't even on her mind as she wandered absently over to the closet and took out a lab coat with her name on it and very slowly tugged it on. Then it was on to her seat, focusing all of her energy on getting there so she could sit and rest her bones.

Only when she was seated and comfy did Ella look over to Airey-face. "Hello, Professor. How's your back?" She hoped it was better.
