Some of my favorite pictures for the beginning of the week.

I'm going to try and get the first one added to my layout. THAT is what the sun looks like a lot of the time right now. I'm getting headaches from the glare. I have sunglasses, but keep forgetting them, blahblahblah. It feels like my body is failing me. Stupid body.

I watched Brent's mom walk down the stairs yesterday and thought "My god. Look how limber she is! She's gonna outlive me." I hope I'm wrong, only because I think she's pushing 60, and that doesn't give me much time. But if I went to the doctor and told her EVERYthing that was wrong with me, it would cost me hundreds of dollars to get it all checked out. And most of it is weight related - even the arthritis. Stupid body. Stupid inhabitant.

COACH DOG!!   I always think of kokopelleigh when I see this picture. She's all about the matching accessories.
I SO WANT one of these dogs.  I think this one is a silver lab. Look at its eyes!  I'm a sucker for blue eyes.  Look at the love!

This is Winter.  Isn't she amazing?  The camera loves her.
And this is Honey.  A blonde Dachsund. Isn't she sexy? Well you know, dog-sexy.

I couldn't have said it better myself! One of the doctors at the clinic I use had a notice posted in his office that patients need to keep complaints (for lack of a better word) to three per office visit. HA! I'd never stop making appointments!

My husband has an aunt who is over 60. When we were at the hospital for my FIL's heart surgery, her back got stiff, so she sat in the floor of the waiting room, basically did the splits, then stretched to almost touch her forehead to the leg in front. I was so disgusted I wanted to vomit. Then she hopped right back up, easy-peasy, wearing high heeled boots. FEH!

WHOO! I bet she's a hoot!

My knees and back bitch any time I take stairs. But now that the toe's been broken, my body's compensation has been to give me sharp pains in my ankle and both knees, and make my hips ache all the time. Plus I can't stand for more than about 5-10 minutes without severe pain.

IMAGINE! 3 complaints per visit. I'd say just block out a day's worth.

She's a huge hoot. She goes to concerts with the youth group at her church. They're Christian concerts, but still. :)

I've thought about calling and telling the receptionist to pencil me in for at least 4-5 blocks because I'm bringing in a grocery list of aches and pains. Instead I just never go at all. Or I wait until I'm too miserable to live and have to settle for seeing whoever is taking walk-ins that day, and it's never my preferred doctor.
