Hop Up?

Getting up out of a chair is a whole lot louder than it used to be. With all the grunt'n and groan'n going on when I try to stand up, you would think I was wrestling a bear. The amount of groaning I do is in direct proportion to how close my butt is to the floor. It's been a while since I've been able to get out of a chair and sneak up on Amber or for that matter, sneak out on Amber and I can't even remember the last time someone told me to, "Hop up!"
