7 Red Hairs

So this is my hair in the sunlight.  I think I have 7 actual red hairs left.  Ignore the rest of the pic just look at the hair  lol.  So far the gray hairs have gotten me the senior discount at Sally's Beauty Supply.  I'm workin' it, dammit!

Goodbye Shoe Collection

As much as it pained me to do so, I gave the Veterans the majority of my shoe collection -- beautiful shoes and boots, gently worn and lovingly cared for, still in their original boxes, many pairs of heels, including one pair of never-worn red leather Italian knee-high four inch heeled boots.  I will never be able to wear them again, why not free up a bunch of closet space?  I tell ya, it was like a knife in my heart.

I kept the ass-stomping boots which were made specifically for me, and the *sensible shoes* but everything else is out the door - anything with an obscene heel on it, or anything deemed a "cruel shoe" -- like a fetishy type thing.

If I need a dress shoe for a specific reason, I'll just have to go buy something dressy yet sensible  (yeah, like that combination would happen in a million years).  Dammit, I am officially the owner of nothing but matronly shoes.  ::stabs self::

MMA

Wow tomorrow night there's an MMA title fight here.  I turned it down - I'm not in fighting condition yet  LOL. 

Seriously, I doubt if I could even sit on a folding chair for more than 15 minutes let alone even walk to the ring, and I damned sure don't want anyone to bleed on me.  Plus, I have never been to a fight where some altercation didn't happen outside of the ring, and sure as shit I'd be in the thick of it - just my lot in life to be "in the thick of things."  I'm staying my ass home.

FFS

I just got *rapist scratches* from my dog, Rue, who was so apparently excited to see me after having been gone all day, decided to claw the shit out of me instead...   I have three huge claw marks that go from the bottom of my ear, across my neck, and actually JOIN to my heart scar at mid-chest.  GAHHHHH. So attractive  So very hurty. Need to recover.  Too damned bad I can't have a drink. Oh wait, I have Percocet. ::looks sideways at no one in particular:: 

Hmm...interesting that the pic doesn't look nearly as bad as it does in person (cause I have those shitty squiggly light bulbs).  I'm tellin' ya if I was a man I would automatically be a suspect for something heinous.

Grrrr

First of all, stupid router is sporadic. Need a new one.  Need cash first. Sometimes it comes on and is cooperative. Other times it needs to be reset, only to go right back out.  That big red "X" infuriates me.

Secondly, Dr. No-Fly-List postponed my appointment until the 13th. *sigh* At least the 13th is not on a Friday. I actually do *feel* better on prednisone, but am not really better, if that makes any sense. It has hideous side effects, so I both love and hate the drug. It's like a magic pill - as soon as it's stopped the symptoms it was helping come back worse than ever. It is like an item in the Steven King store, Needful Things.

What I'm really holding out for is the appointment with Dr. Whackadoo on the 11th.  I have been hoarding pain pills since the last visit with the cardiologist, so I have at least one to take at bedtimes in the hope that I can at least get *some* uninterrupted sleep.  SO so so very tired of hurting and not having a full range of movement, and a whole frigging xmas list of other things related to pain of which exhausts me just to think about.

SPREE

Spent the afternoon at Macy's buying a metric butt-ton of clothing. My narrow ass has gotten even narrower and my skinny thighs even more twig-like *sigh.* Mr. Peanut would be envious of my thighs.  My legs only swell from the knee down for some reason, so lately I've had legs like Popeye.  So sexy.

I was physically unable to try anything on at the store, despite trying to ram everyone out of the way with my trusty rollator.  I need to put some chariot spike-blade things on the wheels.

I will try on tomorrow, keep the good stuff, and the rest will go back.  I have a huge problem with arm length and too-short sleeves.  I'm extra happy when I can find something with a rolled cuff, which I then just roll down, and it looks like normal.

Technically I'm a "tall" but tall women's clothing can rarely be found in stores.  Fortunately they are generally making inseams longer, which I think is due to everyone wearing high heels these days. For whatever reason, I can usually find a pair of pants that has a long enough inseam. Unfortunately the ass is always too baggy.  I have resigned myself to being doomed with "ass knobs." (It actually hurts to sit on a hard kitchen chair because of my bony ass--when I say "ass knobs," I MEAN "ass knobs!")

I also think I tried on every shoe close to my size in the store. I'm sensing a huge winter shoe problem on the horizon. I've been able to get by since May with flipflops because of swelling, but I can't wear flipflops all winter. Ugh.
