I've made it to 40. Wow! I'm surprised. Being sick for a good portion of these years hasn't always lent itself to self preservation. After good doctors, the main reason I'm still intact is my Dary. He is an incredible man and I'm so fortunate to have him as my friend.
I cover my feelings with smart ass remarks and laughter, but I was scared about today; it's one step closer to that day. Mom made it 15,129 days; can I make 15,130? January 18, 2010 is that day. I'm like my mom in some ways and different in others, I know. It's highly unlikely I'm going to go like her or in the time frame she went or ... this is silly but it's something in my mind. I made it past my natural dad's death day. One more to go, unless it happens sooner than that.
Great Grandma Pierce used to ask how old you think and feel? I think and feel about 28 to 30. I behave like I'm about 5. I have the memory span of a newt (the hamster in my brain wheel is on sabbatical). I'm fat and out of shape, getting exercise from bending my arm to my mouth so that adds 10 years. I don't care at this point in time though. I think that's going to be the highlight of my 40's; just live to live and don't give a shit about what others think.
On a side note, this laptop has a f*&( button that changes the keyboard from english to french. My fingers flying around and pressing something turns in on. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to turn it off. So I have to save my post, get out of blogger, re-open and re-sign in and then it works. Grrr.
Today is the 69th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz Day! The gala premier event was held in New York.
Billy the Kid killed his first man today in 1877.
In 1896 prospectors discovered gold in Alaska, which led to the gold rush.
In 1835 the wrench was patented.
Mama mia: An Egyptian woman gave birth to septuplets yesterday. The babes ranged in weight from 3.2 pounds and 6.17 pounds. The four boys and three girls also have three older sisters.
My quote of the day: It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done. - John Greenleaf Whittier
As usual it's taken a bit to get this written. Unlike normal, it's happening in the same day.
