Haven't had the time or compulsion to write. Nothings wrong, just been sitting on my heels more in my down time. Add to that some late winter ailments from the various heinous bugs bouncing off the walls of my home from the children in my care. Kids love to share.Funny story: I recently had an extremely overdue annual check-up and ended up being called back in for a redo on a blood test for thyroid levels. Afterward, the Dr. rang to let me know I had to go on thyroid meds. When I mentioned this to a nurse friend, she shouted "Dear Lord, now THAT explains your hyper energy!" I sadly informed her that no, it was exactly the other way around.
My thyroid thang was hypo, not hyper. Soooo, everyone should probably back away slowly as my body ramps back up to its normal unreasonable activity level. Extra pounds will miraculously melt away and all the aches and pains that I attributed to being over 50 are going to disappear. Hahahaha. I crack myself up. Four weeks later and I'm still waiting. Miracles notwithstanding.
Recently I chopped off my hair. Short. Gave my lovely, fabulous, wonderful stylist a pic of Halle Barre with a waifish cut and told to make me look like THAT. I mentioned that the boobs would be nice too, but didn't think it was her area of expertise. Anyway, I love it. Easy, cutesie, one two three.
Oh, and for those of you that insist on telling me, each and every time I revert back to my natural brown hair color, that you like me better as a blond, please pound sand. Here is the appropriate reaction to a new hairstyle: "OH, WOW, I like your HAIR!" Lie if you have to. Noting that I cut my hair without offering praise or chiding me on color choices is not acceptable. Don't make me ask if you noticed, either. You know who you are.
And while I'm at it -- for all the people out there who drive as if they are on the Autobahn for the first time, take a sedative. My local early morning drives for errands and coffee are not worth dying over. If you have a burning need to zoom heedlessly around like a bloody fool, get involved in racing and see if you can explode yourself.
On another note, if anyone has won the lottery and feels like throwing me 50K or so, that would be awesome. I can give you the payment details when you contact me...
