I rarely wear a full face of makeup any more. It is just a waste of time and expensive chemicals to paint a face that never steps out the door. So, unless I am going someplace where my appearance is an important part of the outing, I just don’t wear it any more.
But today I had to go to a restaurant to meet friends who used to work with me. I wanted to fit in with them, as they are all still gainfully employed and still have to dress to impress.
So I dug out my makeup bag from the dresser drawer and commenced to applying makeup to my face. Sadly, some of the makeup has actually turned bad – the foundation bottle that I used burned my face, made it itch and caused a rash. So I had to toss that out and wash it off. Then the eyeliner was so dried out and clumpy that I could not use it. And then the lipstick burned my lips. The whole exercise was a disaster!

DH came home with a big box of ripe bananas that were free for the taking. I don’t know how two people are supposed to eat all these bananas. I guess I will freeze them and break out the blender so we can start making smoothies and milkshakes.

This time of year gets really expensive for pet care. All the bugs have come out, so the dogs need a monthly heartworm pill, a monthly dose of Frontline for fleas and ticks, and my poor Buck and Buster both get grass and weed allergies so they need monthly allergy shots.
Buster has seizures and needs a daily dose of anti-convulsive pills – twice a day. So add the annual rabies and other pet tests and doses, and having a couple of dogs can run your monthly bills up quite a bit. But my dogs are well worth every penny – they are like my kids and deserve good medical care.

With this being the 20th anniversary of the World AIDs Day, I am so sad. I was surely hoping for a cure to this disease years ago. I don’t see much progress toward finding a cure. I wonder if all the rumors about the drug companies squashing reearch and possible cures so that they can continue to make money from the expensive drug treatments are true. I hate corporate greed. The suffering of these people all over the world with AIDs is horrific and mankind deserves a cure.
