Today I found my perfect quote (author unknown): *When I was young, I wanted to be older. This sure as hell was NOT what I had in mind!* One of my many friends on Facebook *shared* that with me. It stopped me cold and had me laughing. It just hit my funny bone when I read it. Too true...too true! I hadn't even known I was looking for it but, suddenly, there it was. It is still making me smile.
Many of the people I follow are relatives. Only a few are friends and those are from many, many (I hate to admit...) years ago. We are all way older than we ever believed we would be. Some of the pictures lead me to believe that many have grown old well. Unlike me, they look great for their ages. *Sigh* Figures. Nothing I can do about that without airbrushing the hell out of me. Right now, my hair is about an inch all over after I cut off the damage that too many years of making myself a blonde had done. Plus it looks very thin since I was losing hair during the time I was ill from the dead colon that eventually led to my appendicitis and the UTI I had when I was put in the hospital and had my surgery. I know this much. After the doctor found and removed the cysts in my colon that turned out to be pre-cancerous, I will not object to having the colonoscopy next year. It was certainly painless since they put you to sleep for it. The worst part of the whole thing was drinking that awful crap to clean out your colon.
I went over to Cee's today to see the rest of the finishing touches she had made on the apartment decor. It really looks great. She has this one lamp that is definitely a conversation piece but it works for the living room, where it is being used. She also had her unicorn collection arranged nicely on the bookcase in the areas where she did NOT have her CD's displayed. The picture she has displayed over the bed in her second bedroom is most definitely a companion piece to the one in her living room, just different colors. It's just smaller in size. Funny but two or three hours pass quickly when we are together. We talk about this and that and just laugh over some silly stuff from when we were both younger. Sometimes, we wonder how we could have been as dumb as we were back then. We are certainly rich in experience, however.
Tomorrow, the Beast goes in to see our doctor about the thing on his back. Dennis came over and shared an information page with the Beast about a new topical cream used to rid the skin surface of skin cancer. It's by prescription only. Dennis' doctor prescribed it for him and the pharmacy has ordered it now. The Beast is bringing in the page for OUR doctor to see. He could sure use it on his face and arms. He still gets a lot of skin cancer even with wearing a hat and long sleeve shirt when he's outside mowing the lawn or doing any chore that takes more than five minutes.
Our day passed quietly although we did have some boomers roll through here late in the afternoon. They passed quickly but they are predicted for us all week long due to the hurricane (or it may still be a tropical storm) that is in the Gulf. It's not very violent....yet...but there is still time for that to happen over the warm Gulf water. It's not headed towards us in the USA but I sure don't envy Mexico and Central America. They seem to suffer many landslides with any large weather feature that contains a lot of rain. Our expected heat range runs from the low 60's at night to the high 80's during the day.
Love you all. Enjoy your week even if you get rain. I always loved walking in the rain when I was young. And then, I didn't have an umbrella...LOL. ***Hugs***
