My date is July 8th and I am not ready!
I am dieting.
I have had a little progress. But it is mid-month
moving to the 20th and my need for chocolate, nuts and red wine is overpowering.
I am resisting most of that, settling for 1/2 - 1 oatmeal cookie (made
weeks earlier and frozen) that contains no fat but raisins and walnuts.
I make the gym once a week.
I am weak from lack of food!
I do try to do the treadmill once in addition to
the gym.
I should be moving that up to two days and the gym
to two days but I have had a doctor's appointment (and a long drive to
and from) almost every day!
My peach skin skirt needs to be finished and the
date dress needs cutting out.
I have shoes.
I think I have nylons.
I must try out my body suits. Whatever my size is.
I may need a new one. Probabaly a slip. Neither size 38 nor size 44 fits.
Size 40 is the ticket at the moment but will that stay? My size varies
with the time of the month.
My hair is a mess. Short but unruly and in need of
a trimming. Out of the shower I have a head full of unruly curls. Number
53 is too dark. Number 63 is better. Brown Sugar. Should I put in brown
sugar streaks?
My son, meanwhile, is on a movie tear- of course
Ya Ya is not on his list. Windtalkers was
intense, Bourne Identity was pretty good, better than expected,
Sum of All Fears I am NOT seeing, enough already! He's wanting
to see Scooby Doo because the Buffy star is
running around in it. I don't think I can sit through that! I want Ya
Ya to get even because here comes Minority Report.
I did manage to get About a Boy in there.
Somewhere around Star Wars and SpiderMan.
I can't find The Importance of Being Ernest
and I am upset. It is probably on a limited release. Damn! It
won't hit Fremont! Mansfield Park was like that. And
Sense and Sensibility was a long hunt. I like period movies and
I love Colin Firth! He's soooo cute! Very sexy man. Lovely little grim.Very
good actor, as the British do seem to turn out.
So I am kept busy 1/2 day once or twice a week with
movies.
This week was unemployment and COBRA payment, the
dermatologist (no melanoma but he will do a biopsy on a problem spot next
visit) and the specialist who ran the EMG (yes, I have Carpal Tunnel).
My son's new glasses had their frames replaced today.
Next is the dentist (me) and the foot doctor (both
of us).
I also have another guy to call about removing brown
spots and having a peel done since I am way overdo for that adventure
and I just ran out of Retinol and skin bleach.
Of course the dermatologist said that the skin bleach
would not fade the brown spots on my cheek. The ones that left with the
laser and returned. He suggests liquid Nitrogen.
So now it is time to fix what makeup I will use.
What do I do about my hair, like style and color.
And which hotel am I to head for since I am driving
down. With my younger son in tow.
I am still telling him that he can't be in the limo!
I am saying calm.
I really am.
I am so weak from lack of food that I don't have
the energy to get hysterical.
I am too busy plotting how I can do this again. In
between movies. And in between forays onto the machone to write my novel.
And I have a new web domain.
