I'm actually not supposed to massage anything. It actually feels fine now that the numbing gel has worn off.

I can see a difference after the filler but DH didn't notice LOL!

Depending on the filler used, you can easily achieve that outcome! The accusation of having a serious resting ***** face was the reason I started using botox on my 11's between my eye brows. I'm assuming my lower face lift will correct the nasal labial folds which make my face resemble Sam the Eagle.

Worrying about how the government shutdown is going to impact a lot of innocent people as it drags on longer. My stepson stops receiving a paycheck this week and his wife is on furlough. I have tried to be extra kind to the TSA people at the airports who are working without pay. My Massachusetts hometown bank is offering no interest loans up to $2500 with one year to pay them back for those affected. Not a lot, but potentially could keep someone afloat for a month.

117.8

Well golf and dinner out last night became wet affairs! We only got 3 holes in and my last 2 putts on the 3rd hole were accomplished while DH held an umbrella over me. We went home, dried up, then went to our friend's home for a drink before dinner out. By the time we left for the restaurant it was like a monsoon outside. Even with umbrellas we got soaked getting to the car, then into the restaurant. Nice place but we had to sit inside because of the rain. I think DH and I would like to go back and sit at one of the outside bars on a nice weather night (the restaurant is on the water and has lots of good outdoor space). We had fun with our friends though!

Today is the filler this morning, then an appointment with the endocrinologist to follow up on my thyroid nodules. They say I am supposed to arrive 1/2 hour before the afternoon appointment! I get adding 15 minutes for paperwork, but 1/2 hour? I think they are overdoing the time to avoid delays but since I am always on time it annoys me that I will probably be sitting for an extra 15-20 minutes. One of those times when I feel like my time is valued way lower than the physician's.

So I was thinking about Peps' and Diane's issues with paper piling up and why I don't have that problem anymore though I used to have stacks and stacks of it in my kitchen and office. It is because I am essentially paperless for everything! I started doing that at work because my office was going paperless, but have continued it over the years more and more at home. All those "papers" are electronic now! Bills, notices and receipts are in my email or stored in electronic folders. Tons of notes to myself and lists are in my electronic notepad. My calendar is electronic so I throw away appointment cards once I transfer the information. Pictures are overflowing in my photo app. So there is just as much "clutter" but it is hidden on my electronic devices. Somewhat easier to find stuff via searches, but still gets a bit messy. And trying to figure out how to pull out enough information to leave for our heirs is a bit hairy.

Just got notice from the club that the golf courses are closed today because we received 6 inches of rain last night. I guess DH won't be golfing today.

Luckily it is dry right now so we can do our Justice walk. I need to skip water aerobics because of my morning doctor appointment. Have a monsoon Monday!

I think some people repeat their parent's behaviors but others learn from their parent's failings and are present for their own children in a way they wish their parents had been.

Sometimes having company over can provide good incentive to get the house in order once in a while. Ours is looking like it needs some good cleaning but we don't have company for a few more weeks so I am having a hard time feeling motivated. Maybe on a rainy, not-busy day.

The spot removal is strictly vanity driven. Though I shield my face from the sun now the spots have appeared from those early days of sun worshiping when I would let my face burn and sometimes even oil it up (what were we thinking back then?). So I have a lot of spots on the sides of my face especially.

The kids will probably stay mad for a while, but then they will wake up, mature and realize how foolish they are being (and start looking forward to seeing you and visiting Florida).

Is there anywhere to store DC1's albums? I think they will regret not taking them someday but perhaps right now they can't deal with their feelings about them and your move?

I was overwhelmed just by sorting and tossing pictures last year. You are amazing with the scrapbooking! I just gave each kid a small plastic bin with their pictures and some memorabilia in it.

You need some downtime once in a while. Maybe you relaxed yesterday vs paper sorting?

I actually don't want a drastic change from the filler. I just want to reverse a few years off my face around my mouth. I seem to have developed a serious bit_h resting face with the way my lips turn down. Hopefully that saggy part will be improved and ideally no one will really notice much except that I possibly look happier/refreshed?
