I woke up this morning and I opened one eye and then the other and I burst into laughter. There, resting his head on the pillow next to mine was my beautiful Elvis. It was hilarious. What a beautiful way to wake up. Now for all you germaphobes you can relax as Elvis is my dog and maybe in your house a pet wouldn’t sleep indoors but in mine he does. He also has a weekly bath so he is very clean. Why am I justifying what I do and don’t do in my own home?
I digress..I climbed out of bed and had the most horrific pains across my abdomen. My port site was killing me and was very sore and tender. I really do hate mornings. I sat back down on my bed and bawled my eyes out. I sobbed and sobbed and felt like a pissy little girl and I felt weak as piss. Am I too hard on myself?
I don’t know if other bandsters are experiencing morning aches and pains but mine have been present almost from day one. Its quite bizarre but come 11.ooam I feel human and I have no aches whatsoever. I need to speak to Dr Wonderful Surgeon and I will do tomorrow.
After crying I got up and got dressed as I had a date with my waxer today. Yeps its that time to be plucked, waxed and beautified. (Get your dirty minds out of the gutter I said plucked not the other word that starts with F) I walked in and saw Sia my beautician/waxer. She looked at me and said, “What have you done to yourself? Is your hair darker? Have you been having great sex because you look different” I had to laugh, as the bird is a real card.
We went into the waxing room and I stripped off (I have no shame I know) and Sia started applying wax to my legs. She talked and talked and kept questioning me as to what looked so different about me. We continued to chit chat and then she told me to get into position for my brazillian as she placed one leg over here and one leg over there she looked at my abdomen and let out this “AHHHHH”
I almost jumped off the salon bed as I thought there was a spider on me. Sia then pointed at my abdomen and asked me what happened. Every time I tried to explain she kept asking me questions like “Were you stabbed? Have you been in a car accident? You aren’t into cutting yourself are you?”
At this point I lost total control and burst out laughing. It was hilarious there I was lying fat on my back, naked my legs askew and wax all over my HooHaa and I was been interrogated. I would love to say that it was a Kodak moment but it wasn’t.
I explained that I had Lap Band Surgery and Sia burst out crying. I kid you not. She starts throwing herself on me and hugging me and sobbing. I was yelling out “Sia! Sia! Sia! The wax!!!” Then she started again that now it made sense why I looked different she said that my face looked thinner. She did what she had to do and I asked her why did she go off like that? Sia is an overweight girl and basically she felt my pain. She told me how proud she was of me and I guess it was nice to hear someone say that to me.
After my waxing I drove to Borders the bookstore and spent a good part of my day in there reading books. One of my favourite pastimes. I purchased two books and I have decided that they deserve to be mentioned. The first book is called “World Changing” which is basically a book that offers ideas on how to change the world and encourages planetary thinking. I am worried about our planet and I’m really worried about global warming and I want to do something about it. I am going off on a tangent…so I best stop.
I also purchased a thesaurus. Funnily enough it’s because of this blog that I decided to buy a thesaurus. After re-reading my blog entries I noticed that I use the same words over and over again. So I am determined to enhance and improve my vocabulary.
I then came home and sat down and documented in my food journal as to what I had eaten today. I had 2 teaspoons of yoghurt for breakfast and for the bulk of the day I had been on water and caffeine only. Nevertheless I felt great.
I then decided to attempt some exercise and my put my ipod earphones in and actually started running. I was stoked. I ran for 18 minutes and it felt simply amazing. I had my ipod to an 80’s band called Yazoo and listened to the album its beats helped keep my steps in time and I was taking breaths with every doof doof. It was awesome. I was pumped!!! I ran for 3 minutes more than I did yesterday and this is what truly had me excited and happy.
That’s the goss for today!
