life as i have known it has been forever altered

i had a very upsetting realization today. i dont know why it is so important, but the matter of the fact is that, yes, it *IS* upsetting and there is not a cotton-pickin thing i can do about it. it changes who i am and what i believe myself to be. yes everyone, this is big.
today i found out, ever so dissapointingly, that i am only 5 ' 4" tall. all my life, (well, my full grown adult life)..i have always been 5'5. it was a good number. a nice symmetrical number...a NORMAL number. but today, i have been deemed "short."
who knew my height had such a bearing on who i was...but come on people, 5 foot 4??! and that is pushing it...i actually had to round UP! so what do i do with this information? do i go and change my licence? do i have to actually phone everyone in my phone book who describes me as the one with "blue eyes, brown hair, 5 foot 5 inches tall.." and let them know the dirty truth of the matter? or do i continue the facade?
i've always known i would shrink as i got older, but between the extra grey hair today and the height thing today...it can get pretty darn depressing. pretty soon i'm gonna have to wear heels on the bus so joe can see me over the ticket taker!
so to all those i know, please prepare yourselves to see the Incredible Shrinking Woman the next time we are together...and to the Machete Weilding Little Lady whose job-loss is still being blamed on me....HA HA, im still taller than you!!
