I’m seriously dragging today. Very low energy. I didn’t get enough sleep last night. Not sure what time I went to bed but it was after 9 and I got up at 3. Didn’t feel rested when I woke up. Tried to take a nap 3 times, dozed but didn’t sleep. I may have to drink some coffee just to try to keep me up past 7.
Met a few people from NJ today. One was walking his dogs as I was roaming around taking pictures. Got to chatting his wife graduated from the same high school I did. They met online and she moved from moorestown to hammonton. He said he had to dumb her down to come live with him. I don’t know what he meant by that exactly, but I assumed since Moorestown was known for it’s school system and it’s pricey homes that he was suggesting it wasn’t as good of an area. I told him I thought hammonton some really beautiful properties there, very cute town. Then I asked him to say hello to his wife for me from a fellow Moorestown allumni.
Then I met a gent in the hot tub. He and his wife were from Asbury Park. They take 5 weeks every winter to vacation and go sight seeing.
Then the group chat in the hot tub multiple people were saying how this time of year hasn’t been warm and sunny in the keys. I looked in Texas and they have fluctuating temps too.
That’s funny. I just remembered I was pretty flat chested when I danced with John. A cup on the smaller side.
Ill see if I can find a before picture.
This was a good thread for me to take a minute and come up with a response. Sometimes when Im running through the pictures Im not reading the posts, just dropping the drops. Othertimes, I read the posts and the picture that’s up doesn’t connect mentally and I just drop and go. But sometimes I won’t post it at all cause of how I interpret the msg it conveys.
After the question was posted, I did say to myself how would I view this if I wasn’t sticking with the standard interpretation. Most of the time when Im running through the pics when someone asks what does it mean, I just shrug and don’t respond to them. Dunno dude! Since I post a lot of pics I don’t like it when my brain gets too bogged down with trying to interpret everyone of them. Especially since sometimes it’s for me, and sometimes its not.
That lead me to thinking about alternate ways of obtaining a pearl necklace. And you know, with a boob job they don’t move very easily. Squeezing them together is a little hard, there’s resistance. Then I thought never tried it if I just played on my side and let gravity do some of the work. A little lotion and it might be golden. Then I was thinking it might be an awkward position to try. Something to think about.
Did get some laps in today. Not all 10, maybe 5 or 6, cause the pool was crowded. Lots of kids and they were all playing Marco Pollo. So hard to swim around. I was swimming by the Marco girl, and she turned and swam towards me to catch the other little girl saying pollo on the other side of me. She was swimming with her eyes closed and her hand reached out to catch her. Guess what she caught? My butt! Grabbed ahold of it pretty solidly too, I guess so I couldn’t swim away. Opened her eyes, saw she was holding me, let go and apologized. Was pretty funny. I just said does that mean I’m it now?
On the diet front, I’ve been doing decent. Not eating anywhere near as much. Cut all all carbs for a few days, then was struggling to go to the bathroom so I added some back in. Had my lentil soup. Today I did have bread for my breakfast sandwich. I was too tired to cook so I went to the cafe. Plus, I don’t really like having to heat up the whole hot water tank to do two dishes. I keep it off to save the propane and try to heat it up just went I need the shower and do the dishes then. If I got it replaced I might see about getting an electric/propane combo so the propane lasts longer. Running out sucks.
I do think I lost a little bit of weight. My one pair of sweats were looser on me. Tomorrow looks like it’s going to be a nice day so hoping to go into Key West, get some steps in.
Got my places picked for tomorrow!
Have 3 places I want to visit, and one that I want to eat lunch at. Am I supposed to tell you where I’m going beforehand? Last year I kept everything I secret till I told the picture story but this year Im telling you up front in case of the syncs that may pop. So I guess Ill answer my own question
Shipwrecked Pirates Museum
Butterfly Conservatory
Fort East Mutely Museum, they have some ironworks going on in the pictures so I wanted to check it out.
One of the pictures I posted reminded me of my conversation with my sister. My mom has her jewelry collection. She gave a piece to my niece for Christmas, my sister helped her pick it out. During their jewelry hunt mom said she wanted the jewelry to split between Camille and I. Camille called me and told me that she told mom that was silly I won’t wear it. She said give Roxanne the earrings and watches, and give me the necklaces and bracelets.
Which is almost true. I do wear much of anything really. I have one necklace that I don’t take off. Used to have the digital watch till it died and left the burn mark on the wrist. I forgot about that, have to check in the daylight and see if it’s gone. I had one pair of earrings that I wore on special occasions. And that’s been in it.
I did say if mom had a pearl necklace I’ve always wanted one. Not super fancy pearls, just a necklace that could be worn every day if you wanted. But, then I’d have two necklaces and I’d only wear one. So then I said I could just borrow them if I ever wanted.
Camille wants to wear them now while she is working and dancing and can use them. Which makes sense. Mom isn’t using them, why not?
The necklace I’m wearing is of the sea and the stars. I bought it in St Petersburg.
Had a dream as I was waking up with my Uncle Tom and his wife, Saree. Not sure where we were, but it was very warm and green. There was a White House they were leaving and walking across a bridge over a waterway. She was pushing a baby carriage. About midway across the bridge they looked down river and saw me crossing a similar bridge. They crossed over and came down to see me. I did tell them to stay back a bit with the baby because Suki gets too excited.
Logged in to FB and there was a comment from Maho on one of my Niagara reels. He said: “What an awesome life. In another reality I see you doing a traveling air B n B. Where people join you on various legs of the trip, camping out and doing fun stuff with you. That would be freaking amazing!”
I already do that in person, though not the camping part, other than with my sister, jess, and my cousin Karen so far. I do really want to do camping meet ups with lots of friends, as you know.
Traveling on air? I’ve had a few recognizable people join in my dreams. You, Maho, Mark, Jess, and now Saree and Tom but Saree was the focal point.
I haven’t figured out the Mark and Maho dream yet. The one where we were playing volleyball together in a triangle. I was on the left point, they were on the right ones from my view. But, they don’t know each other and don’t speak irl. Yet? I hope they do. Mark is in Vegas now, visiting quite a few of the places I visited and posting pics. He’s the poker player.
The other day when I was at the fire drying off from the pool. That dream with Maho came to mind. But it was weird, like the area transformed into the dream. Hard to describe, but instead of being where I was it was like I was standing in the dream. It happened in between the fire photo I took, and me sitting on the sofa taking the picture of the fire and hammock. Like I walked into the dream where he was sleeping and I was awake, and back out again. Right after is when I saw the Pacifico beer can in the fire. Then I sat on the sofa put my feet up and took the picture.
Yesterday was a bit of a roller coaster emotionally. I was pretty excited to get to Sugarloaf. Got there, got set up, then went to take the dogs for a walk and things went to shit. Suki is fine. Chloes’ back hips wouldn’t work. Just kept falling over. I walked them separately. Chloe just couldn’t keep her hips stable. Tried the braces too and used this hip lift carry wrap I got to help her. And that really upset me. I wasn’t strong enough to help her keep her hips lifted for very long. I did get her the dog park. She stubbled all around. I just sat on the bench and cried watching her. Didn’t put the braces back on her to leave, just used the wrap. I did get her to trot a bit on the way back but had to help her into the RV. The supplements may be helping her, but sure aren’t stopping it.
When I got them situated in the RV. The sky looked beautiful so I snapped the picture. Feeling pretty sad for a bit, then I decided I wasn’t going to dwell on it. Got my bathing suit on and went to the hot tub. Glad I did. Got my mind off it, and just took my pictures enjoyed it and the fire after to dry off.
This was pretty funny when it came up in memories. 11 yrs ago yesterday.
Memories popped yesterday right after I went into the bathroom. I have to shut the door to keep Suki out, there’s just not enough room in there for her to camp out. Yesterday she was carrying on outside the door. Kept putting various body parts against the door so it goes under and whining. Her paw, then her nose, then she most have been rolling around out there cause the door kept being banged and her ears popping under. I was just laughing at it and petting whatever got stuck through.
Couple nipple memories came up after that picture I posted yesterday.
I think they got bigger after the boob job.
I used to have an inverted nipple on the left breast. Was only inverted when they were soft. When I got HEN it popped out. I got the implants they corrected it so it stayed out. The doc said I had a short tendon and they just had to snip it and it wouldn’t do that. The procedure worked but I think the whole procedure did give me nerve damage. I couldn’t feel anything on the sides for a long time, and they hurt to be touched for a really long time.
HEN stands for hard erect nipples. When I was in high school it was a funny expression my girlfriends and I would joke about when it happened and we were trying to conceal it.
The memory that came up when I was a pre-teen is I actually had a period there where it secreted a milky substance when I squeezed. Just little drops, not like lactating. I never told my mom or aunt it was happening, Didn’t understand it either. That did go away.
I just did a google search and the top result was breast cancer. Had to run that through my head a bit. Scrolled further down and another page said “It may also be associated with menstrual hormone changes and fibrocystic changes.” They really should change that algorithm to put the sites that keep you calm, rather than instill a fear factor.
I’ve only done a facial a couple times, maybe twice. I do like them, they feel good. Thought about getting one while I was in NJ, but I wasn’t spending 150 bucks to have my face rubbed.
But that did remind me of the one facial I got. The esthetician that did it at the time sat down put the light on and told me how my skin looked great. She then asked me what protocol I used. I told her nothing. She asked me if I used soap. I think I felt a little embarrassed about answering that, but I did tell her no, just warm water.
I did buy a Vitamin C serum recently. I thought when I used it last my skin looked healthier. Thought might help with the sun bathing too. So Im currently using Vitamin C and lotion.
Psychosomatic responses.
Gene testing? Removing breasts because there’s a marker? They’ve been wrong in the womb wouldn’t that possibility carry through to everything else?
I read once about genes being turned off and on depending on environmental conditions.
My family friend, the vet, went to the doctors for her check up. She’s been under a lot of stress because of the pain she’s been in from her back surgery. When they took her blood pressure, first response was she needed to go on blood pressure medication. She refused saying she knows how to lower her blood pressure.
My nipple used to look like the one in the picture too with a center line or crevice when I was that age. I used to pick at it cause it always looked like it had dry skin or some sort of build up. I think I made it deeper. That filled back in on its own.
I was just watching this video on FB where they were selling this roll on cream of some sort to use on your face. It’s supposed to bring out black heads. That got me thinking about soap. If soap was causing the black heads to begin with. I rarely use soap on my face. Usually just water unless I get something on it. I do use lotions on it though because my skin is pretty dry most of the time. Use lotion to get makeup off too. So I ran a gpt to get the deets.
Using soap on your face can have varying effects depending on the type of soap and your skin type. Here are some general considerations:
- Residue:
- Traditional bar soaps can leave a residue on the skin. This residue may not be well-suited for facial skin, as it can be harsh and drying.
- Some facial cleansers and liquid soaps are formulated to leave less residue. Look for products labeled as “gentle” or “non-comedogenic.”
- Clogged Pores:
- Harsh soaps may strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to increased oil production as the skin tries to compensate. This excess oil can contribute to clogged pores and acne.
- Non-comedogenic soaps are designed not to clog pores, but it’s essential to choose a product suitable for your specific skin type.
- Skin Type Matters:
- People with dry or sensitive skin may find that traditional soaps are too harsh and can exacerbate dryness or irritation.
- Those with oily or acne-prone skin may benefit from using products specifically formulated for their skin type.
- pH Balance:
- The pH of facial skin is slightly acidic, and using a soap that disrupts this balance can lead to irritation. Look for soaps with a pH close to that of the skin (around 4.7-5.75).
- Specific Ingredients:
- Some soaps contain ingredients like fragrances or harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin. Opt for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic options, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Moisturizing After Cleansing:
- Regardless of the type of cleanser you use, it’s essential to moisturize your face afterward to maintain hydration. This is especially crucial if your cleanser tends to be drying.
- Patch Testing:
- Before using any new product on your face, consider doing a patch test on a small area to see how your skin reacts.
- Individual Variations:
- Everyone’s skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Pay attention to how your skin responds to different products and adjust your skincare routine accordingly.
In summary, while soap can be used on the face, it’s important to choose a product that suits your skin type, is pH-balanced, and doesn’t contain harsh ingredients. Regular moisturizing is also crucial to maintain skin hydration. If you have specific skin concerns or conditions, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist for personalized skincare advice.
Then if we practice and get good at it, we could then teach it to the others by the time we get to Mt. Rushmore, or while we were there. That would be fun.
Not sure when we should schedule that, I’m thinking August 1st. Just got a ding. July didn’t feel right. Not sure what we are doing in-between Anchorage and Mt. Rushmore. My song’s repeating. Repeating Yellowstone? There’s lots I didn’t get to see there cause I didn’t have a car. Maybe touring more of Canada on the way there.I guess Jess did go with the pink hair, in a pinkie kinda way. She went through all the real colors, except black. She’s stayed in broad daylight. There’s enough artwork and shadowy lighting to achieve the same effect.
This seems to be an ongoing thing with me at campgrounds. I turn the knob towards hot and it’s cold. When I got back from snorkeling I took a nice long hot shower and was wondering why I keep running into this situation. Maybe I never learned the right way to read a water knob? So the pointy side is the arrow in my mind, and Id point that to the red line. But pretty regularly that’s cold. There’s been quite a few showers I didn’t take in the bath houses because I didn’t think they had any hot water. Ended up in the RV which I prefer to avoid doing if possible cause the grey water tank fills up pretty quickly. Then a week or two ago I tried it the same way and got cold again. Then I’m thinking, they can’t all be cold! So I tried turning it the other way, and finally got hot water. This place is set up the same way. Does the round side dictate or the arrow?
I would like to be able to say I have a boyfriend though. Just putting that out there.
New top spot this morning!
Up to $9 too 🙂
The RV groups love the walk throughs. Shared the starry night pic today.
Got me thinking about February. I don’t plan on sight seeing much, I got goals. But, I have been uploading lots of reels so maybe it will be time to convert them to videos and share that way since I’ll be in the compound most of the month. Only thing I’ll have to figure out is shopping. The uber drivers can’t go in and no car. Unloading and hauling from the community gate might be an issue. I’ll have to see the lay of the land. Maybe I’ll meet a new girlfriend that will take me shopping when I gotta go so
Serious on the boob imaging.
I don’t know how I got the rash I’ve spent the majority of the last couple weeks at the pool in all different bathing suits. In and out of the pool and hot tub. Maybe the dogs? I dunno. Thought it might be impetigo or ring worm. But each of those require a different a different treatment, bacterial or fungal. The Neosporin doesn’t seem to be working, then again I keep forgetting to put it on. Not like I can feel the rash it’s just a red mark.
Totally down for donating boob pics to the cause if needed. I’ll be a test subject!
I was thinking about what that guy said about the gay guys picking the female models with a bias towards boyish bods. Then I remembered Angelina Jolie’s double mastectomy. Is this an example of a rose wars?
I know when I’ve gotten thoughts in my head I’ve tried to act them out on a number of occasions. Not just with the pics, happened with pink hair too. I bought the dye, wanted to subscribe on twitter. The hair dresser talked me out of the dye. That wasn’t a new urge though I had thought about it on multiple occasions, even tried to get Jess to do it but she wouldn’t. Thought she was young enough to have fun with it and I was a “professional” and didn’t think it would look good on the job. She went with the darker colors. As for the twitter, you never did the subscription and stuck with free content, then, not sure how long after, my subscription here renewed.
That’s the harder part, the wait and see. Cause it doesn’t always work like that, sometimes I get an urge and do and something magical happens too. Capturing the right picture is like that. How does discernment factor into that? Not sure, maybe just when the other paths get blocked?
The blocking is the hard part. Cause then you are left thinking is this a test? Do I need a work around? Waiting for the next urge.
That’s another thing. Lots of videos that popped in my Pinterest line up that have been blocked. Can’t download them or if I do, then can’t upload. Not sure why they are popping and blocking.
Jess asked me the other day if I had a boy toy I was sending pics.
I didn’t know how to answer it so I dodged the question.
Cause on one hand the answer is no, toys are disposable. I want a happy ever after.
On the other hand, I do have a playmate.
I need more hands.
Then on the next hand, I have someone I really want to connect with and he’s the only one I let have my story and my personal pictures.
Then on the next hand, we are connected in some web weaving kinda way.
Then on the next hand, we haven’t even seen each other face to face.
It’s complicated.
So for now the only way I can describe it is I’m married to my storyline. Which I didn’t consciously create, but I did by following the bunny trail.
When I first posted I was married on FB, I did cause that’s what I thought I was supposed to do cause you said you were married. So I did it too.
But, it’s awkward when people ask me about it. Cause I do say it’s just me all the time. But, the good thing about the FB post, is it never popped up on the timeline for everyone. Just two people commented. That was a relief.
I did mention it to my sister just in case. Told her it’s cause I didn’t want guys msg’ing me, which is also true.
