Be Prepared

It's 11:00 in the morning. I'm fresh out of bed (good grief!) with the slightest hope that there might be a person lurking under that swollen skinhead I'm facing in the mirror. Yep. She might be in there as we speak. No matter that it's day EIGHT since my last therapy. I'll take her anytime she decides to show up. So... flush out that bloody nose--hurry, stuff kleenex! Apply neckerchief in a color coordinated to the bathrobe. Splash that pale, wrinkled, blotchy face with water. Stand up! Face the kitchen. Consider breakfast choices. Fluids, we need more fluids! There must be energy to generate this appearance! Heck, bowels might be moving today and WE MUST BE PREPARED! (The silent question is..."will there be makeup?!!) Stay tuned....

It was nice to see you Thurs. night at the reception. I understand that you were able to babysit in the car! I hope the side affects are slowly moving on.

Dearest Gae
I wanted to comment on being a Leo.
I am and believe me you are better off. Benka was born 4 days before my birthday and was a cancer, I am a Leo. She, like you, has such a sweet, loving personality -so I think on my personality as a Leo (gurr) and know when this is all over for you, and you are well, the personality and, sweetness that comes with cancer sign people will still be there. Leo is so lion like. I love you, Aunt Verna
