All of a sudden I am up to my fat old lady tits with appointments. Last week, two doctor appointments. This week, one doctor appointment, one emergency dentist appointment, and two vet appointments. And Salem, who had the first appointment is now going back for a drop off when I take Leo in for his…
I hate going to the dentist; just like pretty much everyone else. I have, however, found and trained up a very good dentist here in San Jose. We have a deal – he doesn’t hurt me, I don’t hurt him. Seriously. Once he hit a nerve and my hand went out (I swear it was…
Yesterday, I had a doctor appointment. Nothing in particular wrong with me, my doctor simply asked that I come in (it had been a year since I had been to see her). Like many fat people, I often view doctor visits with trepidation. This visit was particularly stressful because I am going through a bout…
Recently on Yahoo, there has been a news item on how to get the perfect “messy bun.” This is a bun on your head, not on your plate; just in case you weren’t clear on what I’m talking about. Since my hair has grown out, I can say that I am an expert on creating…
We all can hazard a guess on what an adolescent male is doing when he is in the bathroom for an inordinate amount of time. But what about fat old ladies? In particular, this fat old lady. Well, I’ll tell you, how long I am in the bathroom depends on just how hard the…
(did somebody say hair cut?) Our “middle” cat, Oliver is a big gray mound of fluff. Ollie’s momma was a feral cat and his early kittenhood apparently left him convinced that humans are, for the most part, scary creatures bent on killing him, or at least causing grieveous bodily injury. He has adjusted to me…
Just for the record, this fat old lady does not love hot weather. I hate it. With cold weather, you can always put something on; however, you can only take so much off. But I find the valves on my French Horn work much better with the hot weather. Go figure. I guess it makes…
Well shit. This is what I get for trying to tough out my knee pain once the cortisone shot started to wear off. As I’ve written before, I have fat old lady knee (actually, knees – but only one really pains me), but back in March I got a cortisone shot in the knee (God…
BLUE DAMMIT! My passport expired. They do that after ten years. So I get the application (available online), fill it out, go to CVS and get my picture took, write the check and send the whole thing (along with my expired passport) off to the State Department. My husband sent his in at the same…
And no it isn’t Disneyland. However, it is Disneyland adjacent. I tagged along with my husband to a conference held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Garden Grove – maybe a half mile down the road from the Land of the Mouse. I am now officially in love with this hotel. We check in…
