It's been a while. But lately I've been feeling like writing, not that I have so much to say.
First, let's get into my face. Last I wrote I was recovering from a bad fall. And looking at the photos taken in January, I can't say there's been much progress.
I think this is it (sure, I know, a bit of make-up would have helped,).
My nose is still larger than it was, and I'm doubtful that there's any more swelling to go down. Plus, I really don't like that scar on the outside of my lip, on the top right (left in the photo). I can also feel the bump inside. And, it ruins my lipline.
But insurance likely won't cover either to be corrected. And my friends assure me that they can barely see the difference. And, would I even want to take the chance on facial surgery? Yes, if I could get an entire facelift (that I would do in a heartbeat). But since that's not going to happen, I'll probably do nothing.
I plan to write more about a few things that have gone on in the past few months, but don't want to make this entry too long in fear that you all have lost interest in this basically-about-nothing blog, and won't read it.
In short, though:
I'm still working full-time.
Alexander is still living in Austin.
The world is falling apart. Israel and Gaza are at war. Antisemitism is rising everywhere. Democrats and Republics can't get along. Trump is again running for President and even has a shot at winning. And then just the other day, 18 innocent people were gunned down in a mass shooting in Maine. Maine, of all places. We're not safe anywhere.
But I still love NYC (despite it getting dirtier and more dangerous).
And I still love this country (even with all its problems, and there are many).
And I still love a beautiful fall today, though today is not quite that.
