A year of self #69 – Texture

I’m told you aren’t supposed to call them wrinkles. I’m getting to be okay with wrinkles. It means I’ve made it this far.  And that beats the alternative.

A year of self #66 – Scoliosis

Yes, I am sitting up straight.

If you have a young daughter, make sure she is screened at around age 12 or so, and if needed, treated before the damage is irreparable.

A year of self #65 – Au naturel

No makeup, plenty of texture. I see a bit of my grandmother’s face in mine, and that is not a bad thing.

I realize I am a day behind, and I hope to get caught up by posting a second image later today (after I get the groceries bought and the house tidied up).

A year of self #64 – A bit of a goofy shot

Sorry all. Nina’s recovery from her surgeries* last Tuesday has been rougher than I would have liked, though she seems to have turned a corner this morning (hoping!), my self-portraits have been pushed to the back burner.

Here’s a weirdly distorted image of Jezebel and me. Although her meow makes her seem larger than she is, she’s really not bigger than me.

 

*Cherry eye repair; teeth: cleaned and a couple of extractions; nails; removal of a mass on her hind end (waiting for the biopsy results is killing me).

A year of self #62 – To the vet

I took Nina to the vet for surgery on her eye today .  She’s looking rather unhappy as she had to be fasted and was wondering why the heck mom hadn’t fed her before going for a R-I-D-E.
