Ups and Downs

Attitude is everything. I have always believed that and continue to live by that philosophy. I am not responsible for anyone except me. How I respond to daily events and which choices I make definitely seem to move me daily into new paths of interest and experiences.

Supporting the AMA seems to be one of my more reoccurring events lately. This week was no exception. I had to have 6 vials of blood taken, see the dermatologist, and had 5 skin biopsies done. I really need to talk with that Dr about his bedside manner. And, he has absolutely no sense of humor. His statement was, "Well. I guess I don't have to tell you that you have skin cancer." I looked at him and said, "Ah, what?" "Oh." he said. I guess I DO have to tell you."

I also have a small "lump" on the inside of my right hand. I tried to show him that and his comment was "You really need to see a orthopedic guy for that." He said that that type of lump is usually just a type of blister for someone who usually shoots guns or does a lot of gardening. "Which are you?" he asked. I told him I was an undercover agent for the FBI and if I told him anything else I'd have to kill him. (Funny look on his face) His next comment was, "Maybe I should explain what we are doing here." My comment was, "Yeah. Maybe you should." (Results on everything next week.)

That was two or three days this week. But, today was a real upper in that I got a brand, new car. Isn't it beautiful? I consider it a "belated" birthday present for me. MUSTANG, of course. CONVERTIBLE, Duh. I can't wait to "take it on the road." Bob is soooooo jealous that he even talked with our salesman about trading his. I'm expensive, but so worth it.

And, today my son Tom sent me a new picture that is adorable. Guess who it looks like?
She's all ready for winter.
