No hair

Friday nights meal was just a disappointment.  I had a good time but the food wasn’t that great.  We used a coupon that my guy got on-line but this time they added 18% gratuity.  Some coupon!

We got home at a decent hour and I was miserable from the meal and just being up all day long.  I got online to purchase Ron White’s latest standup bit for $5.00.  I brushed my teeth and called it a night.  I did make it to the Jeweler in time, left early last night and got my battery for free!   My trimmer came in, works pretty good.  I got anxious and decided to shave my chest so I broke out the shaving crème and razor.  It took forever.  I wasn’t that hairy but damn you wouldn’t have known that if you were the razor.  I think I look sexy now.  My guy didn’t even notice and when I pointed it out to him he told me he hates it.  It feels better to me, just have to keep it shaved so it doesn’t itch.  Then I sat down to watch Ron White and I wound up falling asleep in the middle of his routine.  I love him as a comic but I was just so damn tired I couldn’t hold my eyes open.

I woke up way too early this morning and made it to the Dentist.  I learned that it’s time to have my one upper tooth they had been watching filled.  There is a cavity on the outside of it and I have gotten by for a while.  I knew this was coming and glad that we were able to hold off until the job situation secured it’s self.  I also managed to get a Saturday appointment to have it done early next year and also another Saturday appointment for my regular cleaning.  I hate the fact that I have to have work done, however minor it may be.  Needles and drills in my mouth aren’t my idea of a good time!

We stopped for a bite to eat after the dentist and then made a rush to the eye doctor.  I got my glasses adjusted and my partner got his eye exam.  There has been a little change in his prescription so he could get new glasses if he wanted.  He opted to keep what he has because of money.  He did get a pair of computer glasses that will also double as reading glasses, they are a bifocal lens.

In talking with the eye doc I learned that once you turn 40 is when your eyes start to go and they level out around age 50.  So basically I just started on the glasses band wagon and it’s only going to get worse for me.  I also found out that Carrots are really good for your eyes and they help a great deal with night vision.  So since I eat a lot of carrots maybe things won’t get too bad for me.  Who knows just as long as if they do, I qualify for Lasix – I am already ready to give up glasses. 

We came home and then I went out to get my hair cut.  I debated about this but since we have a management meeting next week, I’d like to make a good first impression on the people that I will be meeting.  I got shampooed & conditioned with Paul Mitchell’s new White Ginger line.  I asked for that rather than my usual Tea Tree.  It smelled awesome and I liked it so much I picked up a bottle of Shampoo & Conditioner.  Damn it was super expensive.  However, I now officially have enough Shampoo & Conditioner to last me probably until next summer if not beyond.  Will I buy more before then, probably.  I am kind of a junkie when it comes to hair care stuff.

After the hair cut I was supposed to go shopping but thankfully I was too tired so I came home for some rest.  Too bad I didn’t get any.  Someone was making too much noise.  Still I laid quiet in my chair hoping that he would stop so that I could dose off.  Then just when I fell asleep he comes bouncing in asking me if I am okay.  Damn!

I called a friend of mine to catch up and she said let me call you back.  When she did call back she asked her usual annoying question… what are you doing.  I fucking hate that.  So I told her I am laying in bed with my guy.  She said seriously?  I said seriously did you want to talk with him?  She said that is just too much information for me.  I told her we weren’t having sex but if she would have called a few minutes later things could have been so much different.  That just knocked her for a loop.  Then we moved right into politics.  She won’t vote for Obama because he is black, she wants Romney to win.  Then she started telling me all of the things my president did wrong that affect her.  I told her if Mitt Mitt don’t give a shit gets in then we are all fucked. She wants White Power.  Yeah, okay whatever.  You think your crying now, if Romney does get in she will be so sorry.  I can’t tell you either candidate is upstanding and honest but given our choices, I think Obama is best or should I say the lesser of two evils.  I also told her that we are officially getting married (no joke), it’s not a marriage but a civil union.  I refer to it as dog tags because I don’t feel like we are equal with straight people.  However, we will get most of the benefits that our state gives to traditional married people.  She got awful quiet when I told her this.  What I think kind of sucks is we have to apply for the license and then have to wait 1 day, then we can get unioned.  Problem is the court house only does gay weddings on Fridays. So while we can apply this year, we will probably have to wait until next year before we make it official.  The company my guy retired from actually makes this a requirement for me to continue getting benefits.  While they haven’t enforced it, we figure it will only be a matter of time, plus we love each other, so why not do it!

One I got missy to stop yacking and we hung up, I woke up my guy and we went out for pizza.  Too bad I wasted that as well.  I ordered Eggs & Sausage it wasn’t bad at first – had kind of a sweet taste to it.  Then we had to go get ice cream, which I didn’t want but also didn’t turn down.  My stomach is okay, which is a surprise.  Just doesn’t sound like a good combination. 

Then it was on to Target & Cat Food.  Then home.  I realized the 2 items I forgot so I made a list and will get them later next week when I have some money, or should I say available credit.  Pay day is next week and I can’t wait to pay off my credit card in full.  That will help me breathe easier.  The problem is it leaves me with $1.  Wow.  So to survive I will charge but I am going to be extra careful so I hopefully don’t have to fork over a whole pay check again. 

Fed the cats twice, greedy is a big word around here.  Doing washing of my bed clothes.  Then it will be time to switch wardrobes.  It’s officially getting cold here.  Tomorrow will be a day to gas up the car, go grocery shopping and hopefully I will make better choices when it comes to eating out and what I order.  Then it will be time to prepare for Monday!  Oh Joy!  However, each day brings us closer to Thanksgiving and I am so looking forward to that!  So there will be two full weeks of work and then two weeks of 3 day work weeks.  Awesome!

I discovered a few days back by accident that Lawn Boy is on FB.  However, he has his privacy settings so tight that I can’t friend him.  I don’t think there will be anything epic on his page, but I would still like to add him.  I am sending him his last payment for work that he just did last week and letting him know that he can friend me if he wants.  Maybe he will bite!  It certainly can’t hurt anything.

I hope that your having a great weekend and that all is well in your world.  Time to go tend to the laundry.  I’ve got about an hour before I can call it a night and then I still have to medicate big boy and brush my teeth.  Boo!  Talk with you peeps later.

Congrats on getting married!! Civil Union, whatever, you're tying the knot! I agree though, it's NOT the same as straight folks and I hate that..... but I'm happy you're doing it. :-)

That's correct about eyes and turning 40.... however the worst is usually over by 50 and it may not get much worse in those 10 years Jer. For me in the last 10 years between 50 and 60 was a bit of change in needing reading glasses, but the distance thingy didn't change much at all.

Definitely get your cavity looked after, it is SO much better than losing most of your molars, believe me. :(

Have a great Sunday! xox
