A Daddy Tale & A Nude

But don’t get too excited about the nude…lol

I mentioned, last entry, that Daddy Dearest has developed osteoporosis.  How did I find out?  Let me just tell you.

I got into the car with Daddy Dearest.  I think we were going on our regular weekend walk.  What does Daddy Dearest choose as a conversation opener?  Did he say hello?  how are you?  how’s it hanging?  Oh no.  None of these.

Instead, Daddy Dearest says… "You know those underwear I bought and put away to wear in 6 months?"  (PLEASE do not ask me to explain his underwear buying rationale…just go with the story here peeps).

So I say………"yes"

"I might as well get them out and wear them now since I may not be around in 6 months to wear them." he sez.

"Oh.  How was your doctor’s appointment today?"  I say, figuring there must be more to this change in underwear habits than him changing his ways.  He NEVER changes his ways.

"The news is not good.  (DRAMATIC PAUSE during which I begin to wonder how I’m going to keep from crying when he tells me he has LAST STAGE INCURABLE somethingorother)  I have OSTEOPOROSIS".

At this point I nearly fell out of the car.  Unpleasant, yes.  Fatal?  I think not.   I would have smacked him…but he was driving.  Never smack a 79 year old man with osteoporosis while he’s driving.  It’s one of my life rules.

I did my best to explain that this is not necessarily fatal.  Come on….he’s on a 10 year survivor of prostate cancer streak…..  sigh.  Needless to say, my highly suggestable father has had more pain and misery every day since he found out about the osteoporosis.  So far he hasn’t curtailed any of his usual activities, but you better believe he tells me every single day just how miserable he is GOING to be.

Life with Daddy – just one big happy party!  lol

Before I get to the nude….

I am beginning to feel like a human being again.  I went to the eye doctor and my new contacts AND glasses will be in tomorrow (I hope).  It’s been 5 years since I’ve actually worn contacts and I am SO looking forward to being able to see in the middle of the night again – instead of fumbling around to find my glasses.  I actually bought GROCERIES.  We are no longer existing on bagels, cream cheese and cereal.  Yay us!  And today – I bought some MAKEUP.  (gasp!)  Thursday we are going for a 4 generation picture (stay tuned for another Daddy story….) and I thought I’d actually PRIMP.    whoa!

And now for the nude……….

You KNOW she’s gonna hate this picture in about 15 years…. but she is just too cute!!!!  And really….the bubbles are very strategic!  Do I sound like a besotted gushing granny?  I am.
