Adventures and Sad Truths

Amazing weather and the entire weekend will be record breaking.
25C expected for tomorrow!

Things I have learned from my adventure that I hate, but think are true:

1. Life is much easier if you are attractive.
2. People don't really want to deal with anyone who is: disabled, disfigured, slow,
elderly, physically or mentally ill.
3. People really would prefer that any of the above would just go away.


So time to tell about my adventure in Syracuse New York. I had cosmetic surgery; a "mini lift". I decided to go to the States to have it done partly for privacy reasons and partly because this doctor was recommended to me.
Nobody knew I was doing this except my son and a couple of folks in my postcard club. So now everybody will know!!

I stayed at a hotel that has many guests who frequent this cosmetic clinic. The staff are use to seeing people with bandages wrapped around there head and they don't seem to care. The first day I looked like the woman in "The Brain That Wouldn't Die". I was so stoned from the drugs they gave me that I spent two days at the hotel totally out of it. Lucky for me they had "Turner Movie Classics" and excellent room service.

The trip home was interesting. People on the train pretending not to stare at the lady with puffy eyes and an elastic bandage wrapped around her head. Parents steering their children away from me. Not that I blame them.

When I was young I never understood the power of beauty. Now I'm older and I realize how many times in my life having good looks made a difference. I'm not saying it's right, just a fact and a sad truth

Yeah I'm vain. No, I'm not looking for lost youth, but it is rough to find myself working with people who look like they are 12 years old. When did that happen?
I also think I've been so bummed out about this MS thing I figure I can use a boost

As Erma Bombeck said " Beauty is only skin deep, but who wants an adorable pancreas?" and Ellen Degeneres " Inner beauty is important, but not nearly as important as outer beauty".

I will post before and after pictures soon. I won't cheat by having a terrible before photo with an angry bland face and an after with a ton of make up and a big smile.
