I’ve started tweeting Tinism’s and decided I’d archive the list so far. Tin is lying in bed as I write, singing C’est si bon, and mumbling gems like, “I fell on the bricks coming home from school because of my lunchbox now my teeth hurt” “I’m going to call your breast mumbles” and “Can little boys wear a tuba?” Mar 22 Tinism: A butterfly died in front of my house Mar 10 Tinism: Do you…
Children must know when you are about to grind their bones and throw them into the bayou because they turn awfully cute and cuddly. Sort of like rescue dogs that sense you have had enough of their shenanigans and suddenly look at you with doe eyes and thin smiling lips.
I was speaking to a new source today who had a TIA stroke right when I was trying to get in touch with him. It was hard to talk about what I had called him for (even though we did get around to business), instead we spoke about our lives – he’s 57, has had a triple bypass and now has blockage and is having TIAs – I’m nearing 53 and don’t give a shit…
I was able to get some work done while Tin was at school this morning, but that ended abruptly as I had to pick Tin up from school and take him to the pediatric dentist today only to learn that his two front teeth are basically going to fall out. We’re going to make quite a family – me bald and him toothless. When he woke this morning I poured him a cold glass of…
When I realized my hair was falling out I called Tatjana to ask her about her dermatologist. She said she’s good but her bedside manner is lacking. I ended up seeing her associate who handles hair loss. His bedside manner – nonexistent. Now here’s the deal – my hair is falling out. Wouldn’t you be concerned? Thankfully, my hair stylist Scott had prepared me by telling me everything I needed to know. And I went…
Today – oh what a day. I woke watching the Queen Palms almost blowing horizontally and it did not bode well for the kind of day it would be. I should have gotten up early but I took one look at the sky and turned over and slept till it was late chalking up 10 hours sleep last night. I must have needed it. Then Tin didn’t want to get up either so we began…
I called a dear friend and caught up and was sadden to learn her long term relationship had recently ended. There is always sort of a pall when relationships you file away as lasting end. I picked up my prescription for more steroids to help my newfound balding and also had a prescription for Lastisse or the generic version which is Lumigan to help my eyebrow grow back – it says it can permanently change…
A friend was telling me that I should write a book – really? I mocked – but I am writing a book, it’s called a blog and it stars me and a varied assortment of other riff raff. Yeah, but that’s not the same he said, and I said yeah you’re right. Meanwhile, my life coach wants me to write about the experience of what is about to happen with me and my company, and…
I was telling an old friend today, who recently turned 70, that I am working towards a stress free life and she laughed, and said, “You?” Yes, it’s hilarious isn’t it – the woman who could go crazy in an all white room with only a pencil – but I am working towards it because today I went to the doctor who put like 50 steroid injections into my head and told me that what…
I have a friend from high school who I speak with once or twice a year and it’s as if nothing has interrupted our close friendship despite the fact that we haven’t lived in the same city for more than thirty years. But she knows me and I know her. And after the Federal Flood she also became my safe haven for evacuation, always succoring me and whoever else showed up with my party (dogs…
