So far this year I have committed myself to making sure I am healthy. I have gone in for medical check ups I have put off, getting quite a bit of dental work done, taking vitamins, etc.
So yesterday I had to get a tooth surgically removed, I opted to pay extra for the nitrous oxide since I am a chair-arm gripper at the regular dentist. That stuff really does take the edge off, hell, it makes the doctor your new best friend. However I am proud of myself for being brave and making that appointment before it became an emergency situation. I am on medication for the pain which dulls it enough that I am not holding my face, however I do find myself highly agitated and totally without patience today. I believe that is for 2 reasons, the dull pain and the lack of smoking.
This too shall pass, then I will have my next round at the dentist in 2 weeks. Gotta schedule an eye exam for March (dang, it really is a bitch getting older isn't it).
All in all, life is good, I am happy and still enjoying my new life. Just waiting for the warmer weather to get here already. Bring on spring, I am ready to start some container gardening.

New life, new smiles
2012, they say that world will end this December (again.. lol). Meanwhile I am going to enjoy this year like never before.
I have a new home, a new life... all the way down to just about every piece of furniture. New dishes, new pans, new towels. If you have to change your life after divorce and being displaced in a town with no family, I totally recommend this. Every room I walk into I smile. There is no dwelling on the past by looking at a painting, or remembering how things were by eyeballing a specific item. Everything I have in my life now makes me smile and I am loving it.
Last night, for the first time in a long time, I took a long, hot, luxurious lavender bubble bath in my new tub. Couldn't for the life of me remember the last time I took the time to do that. I woke up this morning smiling while looking at my clean uncluttered bedroom.
I am reminded of all the times my family would go and just look at model homes for fun, every model home I stepped into I thought, I could live here.. I love it. Well now I am finally living it. It is an amazing feeling to walk into every room and have your heart light up with warmth and pride. LOL.. only took me 45 years to get here, and I wouldn't change anything along the way.
I am very proud of where I am at and look forward to each day with that smile on my face as I take the time to discover me, and take the time to do the things I have put off. 2012 is going to be a great year, even if it does end in December.... ROFL.
