THE JOYS OF AGING!

OH, the things we are required to suffer-JUST BECAUSE we are over 50! I went for one of those "FUN" medical tests today. Sweet Friend, Helen, did the driving honors since they drug you up before they steal your dignity! The test was fine and I am cleared for another 5 years. COULD I JUST TELL YOU HOW FAST 5 YEARS CAN FLY BY! You get this little yellow card in the mail announcing-"HEY-Come on over and let's see what's going on inside!-It's been 5 YEARS since we saw your smiling ---! The only comment I really have to make about the test is that it appears my kids are right-I am a LITTLE UP TIGHT!

As I was saying they give you this wonderful amnesia causing drug ---after all WHO would want to remember this--before the test. It seems that it takes a while for the drug to wear off. I think I have a faint dream like memory of having lunch with Helen and her son, Mark and then shopping at Target. Don't have a CLUE what I bought but there is a sack in there-so I assume I did indeed shop. Perhaps the retailers of the world should give everyone a little "shot" of this joy juice when we hit their store doors. GUILT FREE UNRESTRAINED SHOPPING!

Anyway, Helen said I had a really great time and seemed perfectly normal. HMMMM that makes me wonder-just what is my normal!
