physicals, caterpillars, and ice cream...

disclaimer: the following blog is NOT rated "G"...i really don't have a good rating for it, but it's just not rated "G"....so, read on but be fore-warned...

....

yesterday was a very interesting day for me...i had my yearly physical (complete with breast exam and pap smear...) during the breast exam the doctor made reference to their weight/size and asked if i'd ever considered breast reduction...the sad part is, it is something i have thought about...i'll be honest i don't always like or feel comfortable with my body...i especially don't like my breasts...they get in the way of everything...

it's kind of like SARK (a wonderful author and artist who is very wonderful!) said in one of her books "Large breats are like pets. Everyone likes them, but you're the one who has to
take care of them" visit SARK online here


anyways, i metioned - casually - to my mom the idea of breast reduction...she said that it's highly possible that i couldn't breastfeed my children (if i ever have any?!...) if i had the surgery...so, i guess i'll just deal with it and accept the fact that they're large, and heavy, and that they're always in the way...

....

okay, enough about that...

the other things that happened yesterday was that i found a monarch caterpillar...the first one of the season...it was big, and i'm sure it will be spinning it's chrysalis soon...

also, in the evening i went to pick up my car at brandon's (brandon is my current mechanic...he's a nice guy and i've known him my whole life...i trust him more than i've trusted anyone else - except maybe my brother mike - to work on my car...) he's extremely reasonable price wise, and he's willing to work with me for payments...

anyhow, while i was there, corey, his nephew, who i have known his whole life, was there...brandon was babysitting him...(although, at 12, i'm not sure how corey feels about being "babysat"...) i asked if i could take corey fishing...brandon said "i don't know, ask him..." so i did, and he said yes...so i took corey fishing...it was my second time fishing this season so far, despite having my fishing license since april...

so, we're out fishing and we're not having a lot of luck at this one spot, so we decide to try elsewhere...on the way to the second place, we stopped at the store to get some snack type things, and while i was there this guy, whom i don't know, and had never seen before, bought me an ice cream cone...it was interesting and it kind of caught me very much off guard...

i thanked him and then went to the car...corey shot me a look and i said "what?..." he said "ice cream?..." i said "yeah..." and i realized that he was mad because i hadn't bought one for him...he then said "did that guy buy it for you?..." i said "yeah, actually, he did...do you know him?..." corey shook his head and said "never seen him before..." i said "me neither..."

oh, well, it was kind of a neat thing, although it was just very odd, for sure...

anyhow...that's what my day consisted of yesterday...oh, and between coming home from the doctor's and going to get my car at brandon's, i took a two hour nap, and it wasn't as restful as i would have liekd for it to be, but it was nice to be able to nap....

i also napped for an hour today and then becky & rebecca came in and rebecca stayed and played here for a while...she's such a sweet kid!!...i do enjoy my neices and nephews, so it was nice to have her around...

...

sunday was my last class with patrice...i miss the class already!!...it's okay, though, because i can now begin on my reading for lyndon state in the fall...i'm going to read "a long way gone memoirs of a boy soldier" by ishamel beah it should be good...but it'll be heavy, i'm afraid, compared to the SARK i've been reading...

ah, well...i guess it will help me to be more grounded, perhaps...

i guess that's about all for now...i need to help mom make supper and then i think i'm going to take a nice bubble bath so i don't have to take a bath before work and then i can sleep in a little later than usual tomorrow....

have a happy week, everyone...
