Signs of aging

 Every so often I have moments when I crack myself up.  Last night was one of those nights.  Recently I started using castor oil on my face after my evening shower.  Thanks to an instagram influencer it is proving to be a game changer for my aging face but I digress. However, using the castor oil does make my face quite oily.  Last night after my shower I went through my usual routine.  I decided that due to how gnarly my blood clot leg was looking it was best to start wearing my compression sock to bed again.  I applied my castor oil to my face, sweated to death trying to get my compression sock on and proceeded to go about my business.  In the kitchen I met Nick who asked me what I had all over my face, just as I was warming up coconut oil to gargle with because my gums were inflamed.  It was at that moment I started laughing out loud.  Here I was at 7:30 in the evening in my jams with castor oil all over my face, a compression sock on one leg, and gargling with coconut oil to help my inflamed gums.  The moment wasn't lost on me and I laughed at myself.  Thankfully I haven't lost my sense of humor.  

As a side note, my evenings now a days are a far cry from even 5 years ago when I was spending every single December evening in a gym, watching Jay or Nick play basketball and getting beat - badly, I might add.  Sometimes I miss those nights but I certainly didn't laugh as hard on those nights as I did last night.
