Birthday Boy

Happy 48th Birthday to hottie Lenny Kravitz. I just can't get used to him at that age.

Vet

I don't remember if I wrote a great vet experience with Affordable Pet Care. Jean Luc was scared but he mellowed when we got home.

He had all his shots and a manicure so he's strictly an indoor baby.

Gastric Bypass

I've been sitting on this for about three months. I wanted to tell my nieces first.

Yes, I'm gonna have the procedure. My weight has always been a problem. Like I said, last year I lost 60 lbs. without even trying. This year I gained thirty lbs and I've started to lose weight again. I've already lost 15 lbs.

I'm excited and anxious about this. We'll see how this works. I'm scheduled for sometime in September. I am having some tests before I can proceed.

Cane

Everyone that's seen me has also seen my cane. It's one of those cheap Mexican canes with Mayan or Aztec colours.

Yes I do need it, and I'm now schlepping with an ace bandage around my left knee. I can walk with out it, but I really need both the can and the bandage.

I get so many compliments on it from natives and tourists. The Louisiana people says it looks like a voodoo cane. Now I must have one.

But I'm comfortable with my cane.

Jean Luc

Jean Luc has been acting different lately. Last week he spent the whole week under the bed,coming out for food and water.

This week he's been craving attention. He still sleeps with me, and he's been attached with me as usual.

He keeps jumping on my lap wanting me to stroke him and hugging and kissing. Of course I give him all my loving.

He's my baby, so I will always give him my attention.

Chiff out.

Dentist

Went to the dentist yesterday for a follow up. My thrush is gone thanks to the med he prescribed.

Next on tap, he's gonna yank out some teeth and we might end up with a partial or a denture. We shall see what happens.

La Cage aux Folles

Anybody that knows me know how much I love the theatre. Yesterday HP and I went to see La Cage aux Folles.

George Hamilton was in it and he can't really sing, but he did give it the old college try. Christopher Sieber stole the show with his version of Albin. This did follow the original French film, not the poor American version of The Birdcage.

I definitely would recommend this. 

Chif out.

Roller Coaster

Last year I lost 60 lbs and this year I gained 30 lbs. And as luck would have it, I've lost 15 lbs this year. I'm on the roller coaster of  weight loss. I just wonder what would happen if I worked out.

Went to the theatre yesterday and my pants started to slip. I'm all for the weight loss. Now if I can only find clothes that fit.

Chif out.

Ramblings

Nothing much going on for me to write anything lately. Guess I'll write about some goings on.

Just got a great haircut, makes me look like a lesbian. HP loved it and Purple 13 liked it but thought I needed to color it. I like it because it makes me look younger.

Jean Luc has  been acting strange lately. He's not been eating as much as he usually does. And he's been drinking more water. Today he was mewing for no reason. He just needed attention which he always gets.

HP got a kitten last week and he's enjoying the antics. Gumbo is white with a gray marking on his head. I can hardly wait to meet him.

That's it for now. Nothing much to report except the weather. It's hot out but there is a cool breeze that makes it comfortable.

Birthday Boy

Happy 32nd Birthday to Scottish hottie James MacAvoy. First caught my attention in the sci-fi Dune.

Dental

As usual, I'm right. Just got back from the dentist and I do not have cancer. But he did find thrush and gave me a script for it.

Chiflado is still in good health and the healthiest sick person I know. I did give a sigh of relief.

Chiflado

Thank You

Just want to thank everyone who is in my support group. I am lucky to have you in my corner. You know who you are. All friends and and family.

Thanks for being there for me. And I love ya'll more than my red Solo cup :-)

Colonoscopy

No, not me gain. This time it was Hush Puppy's turn. I went along because they would not do it without someone being there for him.

No problem. What's a friend for? It was just another chapter in our friendship.

Afterwards, we went to Einstein's for a light lunch and then it was back home for me. I crashed and took a nap. You'd think I was the one that went through the procedure.

Schlepping

Yesterday was hectic for me. Woke up at 5 a.m. had cawfee and was out the door at 7,45. Before I left, I called Einstein's Bagels to set aside some asiago cheese bagels. I grew to love them when I was in Michigan.

Went to the Medical Centre to see my psychiatrist, the delicious Dr J. We had a nice visit and he gave me a script for ambien.

Then I went to Einstein's for my bagels. I am a happy camper. I actually got my bus without waiting much.

Came home had lunch and I was off to my appointment with Dr M, my HIV doctor. We talked about some issues and he gave me a script for my acid reflux.

Then I waited forever to get my script. I was there from 1,00 to 3,45. I was exhausted and came home. I'll take the scripts to the pharmacy sometime today.

I came home and crashed. Normally I get under the covers for naps, but I was so tired I fell asleep and forgot the covers.

Got up, had a bagel for dinner and called it a night. Slept like a log.

Chiff.

Great Hair Month

I had a great hair month last month and looks like it's carrying over to this month.

I have a versatile hair cut that I can style in different looks. I kinda want to dye it again but who's gonna see it other than Jean Luc.

E did say the other night I don't look 53. He said I looked in my late 30's early 40's. What are friends for anyway? Love how they lie.

Bloated

I've been feeling bloated for the past week. I feel like a water balloon ready to burst. Gets on my nerves. I wake up bloated and go to sleep bloated. Don't know what's making me feel like that.

I have been taking over the counter meds to help out but I still feel like a water balloon ready to burst. I'm hoping this will pass soon.

And there's the acid reflux that makes me gag a lot. I can take stuff, but I still feel it. It's nasty because I can burp and I can taste the bile. Not a pretty picture. I see the doctor Friday and see what he's gonna prescribe.

Chiff out.

Ladies who Dine

Went to India Palace for dinner tonight. Hooked up with E, a cherished friend I've known for 25 years. You read that right.

I'm blessed to have him in my support system, even though I give him the guilties because we see each other like once a year.

Anyhoooo, the food was fabulous tonight. Nothing like a buffet to meet my needs. The company was also great. We caught up on our lives and had a nice visit.

I would recommend India Palace for lunch or dinner.

I already know I will burn in hell. So with that in mind, I have to share this with everyone. No comment.

Lupe

I don't mind having Lupe around. He gets the things I need done sometimes even before I know.

Lupe was at the doctor's office and I didn't know it. I was shown paperwork verifing me to back it up. Just wish he would tell me about it.
