“We just got back from Disneyland last night, at like 1:00 in the morning, and I feel like I got my ass jumped,” the TikToker said. “From my head to my toes, I feel like I got my ass beat.”
“I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or how much walking…I don’t know…but I am tired,” she continued. “I’m about to book a full body massage.”
