Weird Week

No, the heat wave didn't melt me into a puddle of goo.  It's still yucky out, but then, it's summer in Wisconsin.  It's gonna be yucky for a while yet.  I'm still here.  Haven't updated in a couple of weeks, I know.  It's been a somewhat stressful week.  My Aunt Betty died last Saturday so we were dealing with the subsequent wake and funeral.  Tried to rent a car for a couple of days, as mine cannot be trusted much out of town.  Unfortunately, the EAA Airventure show is going on this week and just about every single rental place was sold out.  Only one place wasn't but their prices were so inflated because of the air show that I was gobsmacked.  A matchbox-sized compact car was going for $100/day.  Fortunately, my brother was going to the funeral also so he did all the driving and I saved a shitload of cash, bless his heart.  Then, my tendency to store things up for a long time/not talk about them and then blow a gasket made me flip my lid on Tuesday evening.  Anxiety sucks. Fortunately, the people around me were more than forebearing and they let me get a ton off my chest.  I think I might have a talk soon with a family friend who is a counselor.  See what he says I could do to lessen anxiety and cope a bit better.  And CG's ex has popped back into the picture, sort of.  I don't think they're dating again but I think they're still friends.  I know this is way beyond my control, and frankly, none of my damn business but I can't help wishing she'd go away and stay away.  She reminds me of a cross between Pamela Anderson and Angelina Jolie ON A BAD DAY(but without the ridiculous breast implants and collagen lips).  She needs to piss off.  Hopefully she'll find herself a lovely new man and leave MY cute little monsieur alone.  


Does anyone do facial massage on themselves?  I've been looking at YouTube videos about facial massage and I am intrigued.  One lady who demonstrates her techniques is a 40-something woman from either Singapore and when I found out she was in her mid-40s I couldn't believe it. She looks no more than 21.  Her skin is pristine: no lines, wrinkles, crevasses, craters, broken capillaries or uneven tone.  It's impeccable.  I'm becoming more and more interested in preventive maintenance these days.  Anyway, these massage videos have become almost like pornography for me.  I watch them obsessively but instead of becoming amorous, like one does with porn, I get so relaxed I practically fall asleep.


My other YouTube addiction:  Maru the Cat.  Have you guys seen him?  He's got to be the smartest, cutest, sassiest baby out there, and so fat I want to hug him to pieces.  My current idea of the perfect day:  Get a relaxing, 90-min., anti-aging facial/head and neck massage, then take a nice nap on the couch with Maru.
