Exiting News

Drum roll ...

... it's exciting for me, at least.

I've had an eye procedure on my radar for about a year.  I have the worst dark circles.  My hypocritical self started using R&F eye cream.  I bitch about the expense, but it lasts as long as they say, so it's not very expensive over time.  No results though.  I continue to use it in hopes that it will prevent some aging down the road.

My dark circles come from thin eye skin and uneven fat pockets that show the blood vessels.

Can you guess where I'm going ... yep, fillers!!

I've seen it done on an Instagram influencer and that really sparked my interest.  Beautiful results, yet I remained chicken.  What if I don't like it - it lasts 18 months?  What if I have a reaction?

I got the name of a plastics doctor my aunt used to fix her drooping eyelids, but I was still too chicken.  Would they be honest about my questions or spin it to what I want to hear?

One of the PAs I worked with in vascular, now works in plastics.  They do this procedure in her office and she had it done.  Yes and yes!  I asked her a boat-load of questions and I trust her answers.  She looked fantastic.  I'm scheduling a consult to make sure I'm a candidate for it (that it will give me the results I want.)

But what if I don't like it?  It can be dissolved.  Reactions - nope.  Natural looking - yep.  Recovery time - about 2 weeks of puffy eyes (like you went to bed crying).  Price - not bad at all.

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.  I can't wait to call on Monday!!

My eyes have always aged earlier than the rest of me.  It's in my DNA.  I look far older in my eyes than my age suggests.  I want to even it out.  Stay tuned ...  I hope I'm a candidate!!

I finished so much cooking and baking yesterday.  I love the Hawaiian pork from NomNomPaleo, but it stinks up the house.  I'm sitting this morning with candles burning hoping to get the smell out.

I have a few last minute things to do and that's it.  I'm glad I took the pressure off today.  I want to enjoy this Sunday (unlike last Sunday).  I can give to others and STILL respect my needs too.  Even my PHB homework (due on Sunday night) is finished!

I'm reading World Without End.  It's such a good story - the details he writes, wow - it comes alive when you read it.  Lots and lots and lots more to go, but I have a feeling, I'll be sad when it's finished (just like Pillars of the Earth).  It's so good and you read it for so long.  It feels strange when it's finished.  I thought I'd hate reading from such an enormous book (I almost bought it again for Kindle), but I actually like it.  It's such an epic read that it deserves a huge, heavy book.

I have another self-help book sent as a sample.  I'm on the fence about buying it.  It was recommended by someone in my PHB group and it gets super reviews on Amazon - it's about habit changing, but I don't have the name handy right now.  I want more time with World Without End.

Today is a run outside with my dog.  I did intervals and arms yesterday and tomorrow is boxing.  I don't want to overdo my legs though.  I won't push too hard if my legs are tired.

I went to bed super early last night.  Friday whipped me and all day in the kitchen was enough.  I'm up early and well rest this morning.  It feels good (and it feels like a Saturday to me).

Happy Sunday.  Go Steelers and Jets.  Later gators!
