Scary...it's been ALL about ME!

I've had the last six days off, through an amazing scheduling block. I'd worked a six day stretch with Tuesday being my regularly scheduled day off. Wednesday was the 4th and it was not my holiday to work. Thursday and Friday I'd taken off as I had some more dental stuff being done, and to finish, this was my weekend off. So, except for the dental thing, it was a nice little mini-vacation.

So, how did it become all about me? Because I made damn sure to do something for me each day. That's what's scary! I was exhibiting selfish behavior for once. And, I LIKED IT! LOL!

Tuesday was errand day; a trip to Target for household stuff. But, I bought myself a DVD - an old movie that sucks me in each time it's on TV - it's an ice skating movie, pretty hokey, called The Cutting Edge. Figured if it sucked me in with commercials, I'd be better off to be able to stick a DVD in the machine.

The 4th was mine because I got my way about everything. Not sure how that happened, though, but I'm not complaining.

Of course, the next day was oral surgery time. I had two teeth pulled, but what a wonderful blend of drugs I was given to knock me out! I was drunk from the drugs and rubber-legged for almost 24 hours. And, I slept most of that same time period, too. I needed it. And, no pain whatsoever. I've got Vicodin and 800mg ibuprofen and haven't had to take ANY of it. Now if I could just get rid of the annoying sutures in my mouth...

Friday was a trip to the grocery store. What you must understand here is that I hate grocery stores since I worked in one for over 8 years. And, I've been doing the "market" sort of shopping for months now. Each day I run into the store after we decide what we're hungry for. It's stupid, and it's expensive. And my spouse works at the same grocery store I did and he's been there for almost 30 years so you can imagine how fast HE leaves at the end of his shift! LOL

So, I actually made a list and bought ALL the groceries. We actually have food in the house - good, nutritious stuff. And now I stare into the fridge and wonder where something good to eat is! You see, when you don't run into the store each day, you tend not to have all that extra junk food around. I'm having chocolate withdrawal, big time!

But, to counteract that, I got my bike out and rode 6 miles last night and lived to tell the tale, and *didn't* need my inhaler. Maybe there's hope for being in shape once again!

Today I spent the afternoon at the hairdressers; time to lose the grey once again, and find the blonde; Paul (stylist) put honey-blond low lights in this time. It looks good.

And, then I decided a pedicure was in order. Off to the mall. My pedicure place was GONE! I found it at the other end of the mall. They'd moved (obviously) and had added a whole bunch of new massage chairs to lounge in while the tootsies were done. I was mortified, though, to notice that the chair was so powerful that my "menopot" vibrated like that infamous bowlful of jelly; I'll just keep that vision in mind to keep the workouts going strong. I *will* be at least one size smaller before the kid gets married in September!

And to finish off my day, I took my Jeep over to the car wash and knocked the first layer of dirt off her. I had the rag top off on the 4th and will probably take it off again tomorrow and decided I'd really rather have the top clean this time!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do to treat myself tomorrow. I'll think of something.

And, I'm already planning for next week. I've already scheduled a facial for myself. It counteracts the next dental surgery which is on Wednesday. It's scary to think I'm actually putting myself up there as a priority. What's the world coming to?
