Today’s letter is M




So, no matter what I tell myself about life one thing is for certain.  My mind may think I am still in my 20’s but my body wants to tell me otherwise.


This week was my annual check up with my doctor.  Pretty much at this age it’s an expensive way to get your prescriptions refilled.🩺🩺🩺 💊💊💊

Of course you prepare a whole day for this appointment.  Don’t eat, shave your legs, paint your toe nails (which was a feat in itself....can’t seem to reach them like I used to) 🥵🦶🥵🦶🥵🦶

My first stop when I get there is the scale - of course 🙄🙄🙄.  The scale is on the floor and looks like something from a meat locker that is used to weigh beef before it’s processed.  I was told it accommodates wheelchairs, not cows.  Who knew??? She makes me put my purse down and take off my shoes BECAUSE that will make a big difference.  Let’s just say..... 


So where do the M’s fit in?  Sounds like a day on Sesame Street doesn’t it?  AND TODAY’S LETTER IS MMMMMMMMMM.

I ask her about my weight gain and what is the cause since I am now working out and SOMETIMES watching what I eat.  And that’s when she cursed at me with these words:

*Menopause
*Middle Age
*Midriff
*Meal Plan aka DIET

Seriously.   Then to top it off I GOT to get a shingles shot and GOT to have a mammogram!!!  Oh ya...  And lab work.  

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🥵🤬🤬

The best part is when they print out your “RESULT”.  Ms. Hendrickson, your blood pressure is great, your oxygen levels are perfect BUT.........

So. Is wearing a mask our new normal??

  As I get ready to go to the Dr for an appointment I find myself searching for the mask that will match what I am wearing.  REALLY??  I guess that shouldn’t surprise those of you that know me at all.  👸🏼👸🏼 I also ate breakfast before I left and normally would check my teeth and make sure my lipstick is spot on BUT I find myself in the kitchen thinking - WHY?  What does it matter if my lipstick is only on part of my lip?  What does it matter if I have bagel crumbs in my teeth?  NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ME!!!!  Now don’t get me wrong, my eyes and eye brows are spot on.  But the rest....  whatever?👀💋 Found the right mask for the job and headed down the road.  Did the norm when I got to the clinic.  Mask on, sunglasses off, temperature taken, 20 questions answered, gold star sticker telling me I am good to go.  🎖🎖 Since I drank a larger than average coffee on the way, I have to stop at the ladies litter box quick before...

Beach Whales and Adorable Dolphins

As I told you in March after my exciting travels to St. Louis, I again got to do some traveling in April.   Scott and I got the opportunity to go to Los Cabos and stay at the Hilton Golf and Beach Resort.  Not going to lie, it was a tough week.    I was nervous about going thinking Scott would get bored easily…..   I was totally wrong.  We were up everyday at 6:30 to get to go and save our chairs by the pool/hot tub/swim up bar.  Then off to breakfast and back to our chairs for my morning “juice”.  My favorite flavors were either strawberry or banana with a tinge of rum.    We met some amazing new friends and one of them showed Scott how to locate the whales that were migrating.  SOOOO, while I sat in my chair sipping my juice and reading, Scott became the “WHALE WHISPERER”.   Kids were all over that.  And adults too.  He would stand in the infinity pool and point to the water.  Not sure there were whales or not ...

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOU...
