Getting things done

I have always been a procrastinator. I discovered I do well under pressure and as a result find myself putting things off to the last minute and then rushing like a mad woman to get things done. I am sure my parents shake their heads and wonder where this trait came from.

My mother can get up and have 20 things done before most people have their coffee. While I can stare at a project thinking "I should get that done" and then think or I could do something else. "Else" wins more often. I look around my house at the many little projects I should do, but have yet to.  It is not about having money or time to do them as most do not cost anything and I appear to have time. I would rack it up as lack of interest in doing them.

Now that we are getting later into fall I have no choice but to finish a couple exterior projects. Some will have to wait until spring but it is time to get a move on. So I challenge myself to complete 10 items before Christmas, I would post the list but I don't want you to fall asleep from the lack of thrill they involve.

Maybe next year, I will have a painting party and rally up everyone for a potluck and bring your paint brush to paint the exterior of my house. This way all the procrastinators and proactive people can unite while crossing an item off my list. Who knows maybe some of the productiveness may rub off on me...but don't get your hopes up.

Under the Knife-Part II

It is hard to believe the summer has gone by so fast, only to realize it is decision time again.  Time to decide about my "one up, one down" issue. I was so tired of hospitals and doctors that I wanted the summer away from it, and with the exception of my yearly mammogram I managed it.

So back to see Dr. L who actually has a resident who DID NOT ASK my complete history, only asked more or less as to why I was there. Yeahhh student (I did thank her for this).  Forget the gown, let's do this.

He looks at me and agrees I am uneven. He talks a couple of ways to do things and finally I just say (because I'm like that) why dont you put an inplant in the left and one in the right and keep them both up instead of trying to make them look more natural and bring them down. I'm not trying to be Dolly Pardon here but who cares if they look fake. I am happy to have two. I'm ok showing them off.

Really if I am going to do this, let's make them perky and envious. So it has been decided...a bit lower on the right and a small inplant of the left and I should be good to go. For the next ten years at least (inplants do have a shelf life-insert boob humour) and by then I will probably need more of an overhaul anyways. Then I will throw in my eyes and take some fat out of my butt and add it elsewhere. Maybe into someone else who needs it....I could be a fat donor!

So I am tentatively booked for December 17th. As I tried for the last surgery date before Christmas. Now let's see if the OR gods agree..
