    My thoughts are, dammit 40 is now 4 days away. I have to get two more gym visits in to try and stop the inevitable. I expect to wake up to a pile of hair on my pillow and whats left to have turned gray. My back will be hurting and a pair of crocs on my feet as the croc fairy comes when you turn 40. At least I assume that is how Rob found them. Oh yeah, I will also have a strong desire to clean rather than do something fun. Fuck you father time! Most go to gym and find a good motel to sleep at that night so the fairy can't find me.

    I turned 40 a year and a half ago, I do not own Crocs and never will.

    I realize that I'm a female and the hair thing is probably moot to bring up, but my hair is as thick as it always has been. It seems curlier than it was, but I don't know if that is because the cut and products have improved over the years.

    Are there a few wrinkles? Yup.

    Is there some gray in my hair? Yup. Have I come to the conclusion that it needs dyed? Not yet.

    My back has always hurt, so age has nothing to do with it.

    Am I the 97 pounds I was 18 1/2 years ago when my husband and I married? Um, no. That's okay. I was a bit on the too thin side anyhow. Would I like to lose a few pounds? Yup. Working on it.

    And you know what? I still have fun. I know! Stunning! You don't instantly turn old and get an AARP card when you turn 40!

    It'll be okay. I promise!

    ^^^^^ I appreciate the sharing. I actually don't know why I am scared. I am in great health, my hair is as thick as ever, I'm blonde so grays don't show and I'm in better shape than I was even when I was 20 in the corps. I promised myself I would get in that shape before 40 again and I actually did it the last couple of months. I killed myself in the gym and it worked to the point my wife called me a meathead last night. I guess it comes down to realizing life if I am lucky is probably half over. The corps made me feel invincible and that feeling left me for the first time. My mortality set in and that is what has freaked me out.

    Even Marines are human. And I'm starting to get to see ghe Corp value in action outside of my family, so it's kinda cool. According to three of my uncles, and a dozen or more of their progeny, you die a Marine. You never retire from being a Marine. You may retire from the Corp, but you are akways a Marine. It's only like that as well with the Airforce. All the other branches are not as hard core! Anyhow, makes me not miss my family so much when I hear the 'Marine talk'. :-D

    Can't wait until my roommate is done with the shower so I can get in now that I came back from the gym in this hot SoCal weather.

    This week is mostly exciting! Phone interview today, Robert Plant tomorrow (so long as his voice has recovered--crossing my fingers!), visiting home on Wednesday, DMB twice this week, seeing lots of friends from home!

    Trying not to think about all my doctor's appointments this week. Doctors of any kind for the most part just give me anxiety. Good thing there's lots of good things coming up to distract me!

    I have the alarm on my phone set with "obstacles" so I have to answer a question of some sort before I can turn the alarm off. Usually it's a matter of putting numbers in sequential order or picking out pairs of numbers that add to 7. I do this cuz I have uncanny ability to turn alarms off in my sleep.
    Do today's question threw me for a loop. "What day of the week will be tomorrow?" My reaction: "tomorrow what day is tomorrow - Fuck I can't ever answer this question while I'm awake!"

    *note: I'd already been up for an hour when this alarm went off. (No coffee though)

    I saw online, there is an app that it will email you a QR code to print. The only way to turn the alarm off is to take a picture of the QR code. So you hang the QR code in the bathroom or something and that will definiltey make you get up.

    I bought my daughter an alarm that had a propeller on it. When the alarm goes off it winds the propeller and then launches it like a helicopter to a random spot in the room. The only way to turn it off is to put the propeller back in. Worked great.

    The last three documentaries I watched on Netflix, "Cocaine Cowboys," "Hot Girls Wanted," and "The Queen of Versailles," all took place in Florida. What the heck is going on in Florida?

    In charge of the church rummage sale. I went to pick things up from one person's house and while attempting to do that, they kept telling me how precious this, that or the other was, how I was to handle it, price it . . . We're raising money for the building fund. We aren't running a high end consignment store with your busted pieces of leftovers. She tried to get me to take an open bag of lawn chemicals. I told her no. I was concerned that children would try to eat it.

    On the other hand, another family texted that they had everything loaded up but the clothes and they were ready to go. So wonderful!

    And! It was Boy Scout Monday! The boys helped to haul everything in. Still, I'm tired. Hauling wasn't supposed to start until next week, but I had people who wouldn't stop calling me.
