My Fitbit says today is the 15th, but I trust nothing. She, the bit, tells me I sleep four to five hours a night. However, she does not tell anyone, that in those hours I am looking for my purse or a bathroom in the streets of Calcutta!!!!
So just go with the title, and you will be fine.
Happy Birthday to me, was August 1 and it was pretty big. The sound of seventy and I are still not in a good place. Olivia Newton John just died, and she was 73. Wait a minute, that is pretty close to 70. Are my ducks in a row??
I saw my primary doctor last week, and she, so kindly, said " You look wrecked Bonnie."
Quickly I told her she was too young for the movie " Valley of The Dolls" but I am beyond the valley, and we laughed.
I do know that when you start blow drying your knees, something has changed!! Birthday weekend I got turned onto some oils, of Arnica, Lavender, and something else?? from a Farmers market. I did not purchase locally, I was headed to lunch, did not want to carry a bottle of oils. The witch doctor, (sweet lady) let me try it and my knees were better!! So, when I returned home to Amazon, I looked up all the ingredients and found my stuff. It works wonders (with a lot of Tylenol) (and gel shots) but it is oil!! all over my knees, and it needs to dry before I put on a dress. (wear dresses in summer) so out comes the dryer!!
I wish you could see me, I cried from laughing. Is this seventy? Have my tiny knees thrown in the towel after carrying around this slender and graceful Buffalo Carcass. God Bless the human body. I promised my young self that I would go gray at 70, so we will keep trying, I have colored my hair since middle school, I love hair color. Both of my parents did not have but a few strands of gray hair, I want my cousin's white hair!! May have to come from a bottle!!! What does a person do while drying their knees?? Look for scissors, I need bangs!! Never a good idea, 70 is kicking my butt!! and it has only been a few days!! So now I had to move up my hair do appointment, for repairs. Year-round summer hair is my syle , people think I have just returned from the pool, I just agree. Not everyone needs to know about my knee drying, takes away from drying my hair! Good Lord, I think I just felt a cool breeze.
Summer has been a hot one, and I have been super happy. Heat cures all. Fall batting her eyelashes at me, has increased my anxiety, and angel child Wyatt started real school, and I had to lay down a spell!! My older grans Adrian has his driver's license, and he knows Uma is a wreck. I remember the freedom of driving, so I caved and wished him wonderful days !! (And just now my throat is closing up!!), Finn my middle jewel, wants 800.00 pair of sneakers, I told him to go to the thrift store, salvation army, what 13 year old wears 800.00 pair of shoes. Yes, Uma likes nice things, but darling middle child, girls just care right now that your teeth are clean!! take that info form Ums and run with it!!!
At 70 I need Joni, CSNY, Stones, Beatles throw in a little Chris Stapleton and I m good. Music never changes with any age, and that my friends, is a much better drug of choice.
I pray a lot and The Holy Mother and Moses keep telling me, "We Got This Bon-Bon!"
Enjoy the rest of this August month, pay attention to what is around you. Laugh all the time, and ugly cry if you need to.
70 is feeling better already, sometimes you just need to blog!
