Signs That I'm getting Old

1. I put my hands on my hips and sigh at the stupidity of the youngsters these days.
2. I think 10 pm is late.
3. My mother had a 14 year old, a 12 year old and a 4 year old at my age.
4. I off handedly call most people who are 30 years old and under-“kids”.
5. I’ve been considering the health of my arches lately-especially when running.
6. I use cosmetics with “wrinkle” in the title.
7. I get bigger as I age.
8. I heard several noises when I stood up. And, ummmm I’m not telling you what they were.
9. "Things" are starting to fall.
10. I’ve been considering plastic surgery.

Funky Dreams

I had a “child” dream or possibly a “relationship” dream last night….That’s weird within itself since I never have dreams like that-ever…..
I was with someone, and as usual in my dreams the person I’m with never has a face-very Vanilla Sky of me I guess. Anyway, he told me that he wanted to have children so I went in to see Dr Rhodes. I told all the required tests etc. Still cancer free and fertile as the Napa Valley. Really? I asked and he confirmed it. I was stunned and remained until I got home. I told my partner that the Dr confirmed that I was fertile enough to get pregnant on my own. My partner was ecstatic and I was still stunned. Then a moment of clarity. “I don’t’ want them.” I said. “What?” “I don’t want children-ever. I’m over it” I told him. He sat there stunned. “I won’t have children for you, so I guess you have quite a bit to think about”. I said. In my dream it was just common for me to not want them because I had wanted them for so long and was told that I couldn’t.

A Barrel Full of Monkeys

Home-What is that? I think I’ve seen the inside of my house for about 30mins all week. I sleep, get up for work, go to the airport at 6p, work until 9p-home by 10p, and back to bed again. I’ve been attempting to watch “The End of the Affair” for the past 3 days, and it’s been a bear to get in my running and weight lifting regimen. My plants are dying, and my house detailings are falling to the wayside for now. I did manage to stay up until 1am on Saturday night working on an Abstract mirror for the entry. I think the entry is almost done. I spent whatever time I do have tending to things like laundry, dishes, vacuuming and working out. Mostly the latter. I only had enough time yesterday to get up at 9:30a, grab something to eat, do some dishes laundry and then from 10:15a-11:15a running and then hop into the shower to get ready for work at 1p. Suck.

Work-the bank is good. Same old same old. The airport is pretty boring and frustrating at the same time. Crabby people who want to shop when in a hurry…? Doesn’t make sense to me. Over priced food, clothing etc.. Found out my manager is quitting in the next 2 weeks and the corp office is coming down on us like vultures. I was literally told that I will wear a belt with my uniform or be fired. Huh? They were in all day on Saturday and Sunday pulling clothing from our store to pitch in Denver. They are hoping to open another store at that airport. Good luck with that. Decided to not stress, not to get emotional involved in something I can’t fix nor will I be around long enough to care about. The management there keeps bugging me about quitting my job at bank to become a manager-umm no thanks!
