Music Monday: Carol King and James Taylor.... "So Far Away" PLUS Bit's and Pieces of a Monday. Sunday Cinema One day late! Mon Dieu! Such a week!

But first the music....

Bit's and Pieces of a Monday:

Today, at the crack of dawn, I awoke to find that my tongue was still swollen.  This has been going on for a week and probably coincides with some recent rantings and bad words I've spewed at politicians.  I know they can spy on us but can they induce drone attacks of illness by way of some new invisible ray?  The tongue may have attracted such an attack, but I'm sure the other grumpy body parts are probably related to a cranky auto-immune that afflicts my wrists, knees and foot at the moment as well!

So, off to the dentist where I received excellent care and advise and some funny little packets of medicine (though they look like they could contain mustard or ketchup) to apply to the sores.  Being allergic to penicillin has turned out to be more fun than I EVER imagined it could be!  If I were still into shoes a trip to the shoe store would be a must!

Off to fitness instead, for a delayed visit, where I limped my way through a routine that saves my hands, but not my knees or foot.  It cuts them no slack whatsoever!  But, Gung Ho-ness is always the watchword in this house, so I packed in my plans to sit contentedly scribbling out words on the two daily crosswords, in order to avoid any "Wimp!" labels or muttered grumblings or even, God forbid, guilt! 

I must say, when I have forced myself to, "be all that I can be", I sort of feel better about being a lay about the rest of the day!  How about you?  Don't you love the entitlement that a sweat session at the gym, when you are gimpy, gives you?  You then have the totally American Constitutional Right to do whatever you fracking well please the rest of the day! 

I think I'll go watch "Amelie" again.  Gee loaned it to me, and I LOVE it!  It's the best art film I've seen in ages.  It's R rated, of course, and subtitled.  Happily, my French is coming back to me! 

But Beware!   No children under the age of 21 should read this or see "Amelie".  Mon Dieu!
