salsa good luck with the kitty. hope she's feeling better and a beautiful little thing too.

x i have that dr seuss poem hanging up on my desk. the boss has even laughed at it. i'm happy i have a good boss!

dar the melon is feeling a bit better so far this morning, but the heavy duty drugs didn't seem to work their majic like they usuall do. i couldn't manipulate the vertabrae back to where it needs to be. which is kinda scary. usually it works just fine. i have to say i slept good. had a hot compression on my neck last night to relax the muscles and my puppies kept coming over to check on me and give me really wet kisses. ahh the doggie love. good luck with your rugrats.

thanks to our pilot i am now addicted to the sour skittles. he got a bunch for the trick-or-treaters and has a ton left over. they keep showing up on my desk.

*drools* sour skittles....

Quiet night last night, quiet day today. Watched "stick it" ... an obviously teen-geared movie about gymnasts. Interesting, anyway. Made me glad I had a childhood not centered around training for something.

Got a voicemail from the new job, regarding the results of my credit/background check. I'm on pins and needles, but I want to listen to it when DG is awake... but I want to let her get all the sleep she needs, so I have to behave myself and be patient...

gotta clean the house- having friends over for dinner... (!) Haven't done that in a while. that's about it...

Chica, I hope you can get your neck all fixed... I worry 'bout ya.

I'm off work today, had an appt with the Dermatologist. He removed 4 moles a few weeks ago, one just cosmetic it could get irritated and 3 were pre-pre-pre cancerous. It's healing fine and now I'll have to go see him every 6 months for a while.

My dermatologist commented on my "farmer tan" and light glove line, but the sun damage is where I thought "the sun don't shine"

I celebrated the progress by ordering an SPF protective shirt. Did you know that our clothes have almost no protection from the sun?

I wimped out on riding to the appt which may have been a good thing. Sky was dry when I drove there, rained while I was in, dry while I drove to get haircut, rained while I was inside, dry on drive home, now light drizzle...

[chickwhorips]

you know untill i started looking at trave clothes and they say that they are SPF bla bla bla, i never would've thought about it.

i guess i just assumed that if i was covered then i was protected. well i guess not! my poor skin.

[Trek420]

nope nope, according to the good doc non SPF clothing is about 2-4 SPF. In a way it's worse, you think it's protected so stay out longer.

Funny thing is my back is fine. He says even though I have dark hair and eyes complection-wise I'm a redhead and burn easily.

so sunscreen, hats blah blah from now on.

Wow, Trek, that's useful info. Thanks. I'm a blue-eyed blonde, with solid redhead on my mom's side. Come to think of it, I'm really a blue-eyed grey-haired person, the blonde used to be real though... Anyway. I am diligent about applying sunscreen to uncovered parts of the body, but didn't think about putting it under clothing. Now it's so cold here that I doubt any sunrays are penetrating my many layers, but come spring/summer, I'll be much better about getting it all over. Like Nanci, I like that Neutrogena SPF 45 spray stuff.

Glad the doc visit went OK, and that the reports were good on the moles. I got some vicious sunburns in childhood, and am sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop about my skin. I have one thing on my belly that was worrying me, but my doc said it was a "senile keratosis" or age spot. Lovely. Beats the heck out of melanoma! Give me senile keatoses any day!

What shirt did you get? C'mon dear, post a link!

(and I am your friendly neighborhood source for hats, sunscreen, and clothing. Just lemme know what you want... )

[Trek420]

KnottedYet "What shirt did you get? C'mon dear, post a link!"

it was on Steep and Cheap, it's gone now. You'd have to come to CA to see it.

"(and I am your friendly neighborhood source for hats, sunscreen, and clothing. Just lemme know what you want... )"

Knot? you're a pusher for athletic gear? Thought you were in the medical field? hey you, i can get you whatever you want. Want Illuminite? Over here.

uh oh, I just visited the "I hate" thread

[chickwhorips]

ok trek. hit me! *ouch!* not that hard.

i need the hookup for the sun protection! im see-through and going to sunny weather in the next two months! and i'm terrified of the sun.

I am eyeing some Illuminte running tights...

uh oh, I just visited the "I hate" thread

I am having way too much fun over there.

Dar have you released the "improved" profile? You must share all with us. Some of us (me) live vicariously through the young and dating.

CWR It is a good thing you are not counting the days until you leave.

CC Sorry about the flats.

I really needed a run tonight, but I convinced DH it was okay to not be with me all the time and he took a prospective professor out to dinner. He has called every 15 minutes to ask how my head is, do I have any symptoms, etc. It is nice to be loved, but maybe not quite so much? Then my back-up running partner (yep I am 37 and I am not supposed to exercise alone-SIGH) came home from school with a nasty cold. He better not be faking to get out of running with his mother. Oh, that sounded so wrong. I do not want my eldest to be ill, honestly. I just do not tolerate lying and he has had a little teen fibbing rebellion going on here as of late.
