I caught a glimpse of myself in the full-length mirror at work and realized how un-Californian I looked. For one thing, my body is far from bikini ready. Ok, maybe `far' is understatement. Barring plastic surgery, I've got at least a years worth of work left to do. Secondly, I'm no longer a blonde. I recently went for a change of pace and dyed my hair red. Not that blonde's my natural color either, but before it at least had the `allusion' of California golden coast goddess. Lastly, I am WHITE. I'm talking, `you should take off those white hose, oh they aren't hose' white. I need some SERIOUS sun time. The ironic thing is, every time I think I'm going to be able to have some `fun in the sun', like the three days off I took a few weeks back, the clouds roll in, and I'm stuck looking at cloudy skies. What is up with that? I think it's some sort of cosmic karmic payback... or something.
On a positive note I get to go see Dr. cold fingers for a yearly female check-up tomorrow so I can back on birth control. YAY! Ok, so the check-up thing's not fun, but birth control - YAY! As a matter of fact I have to wonder at the mental capacity of a Dr that can't seem to figure out why my blood pressure reads high every time I come in for a visit when it so low that I'm at risk of being declared DEAD when I visit my General Practitioner. Am I the only one who believes that Doctors should be required to take courses in basic logic, or at the very least be able to complete one of those `logic problems' that show up in the games magazines? You know the ones that start out "One week five bachelors agreed to go out together to eat the 5 evening meals on Monday through Friday..." But I digress. I get to go back on birth control!!! (provided I my new relaxation techniques can keep my blood pressure low enough for them to get at least ONE reading in the `normal' range) This means free-for-all frolicking in MY household is sure to ensue. I can hardly wait! Hmmm, this may call for a celebratory strafing of Fredrick's Hollywood!
