         So i was off to a doctor appointment today.  Nothing earth shattering to report - i'm getting older, my blood pressure is good - weight gain is in the accepted range for my height/bone structure/age - generally seem healthy.

Doc - still happy in the city? (read - living with Himself)

me - yes, very much.  (i didn't mention that i still have bouts of homesickness for some friends i left behind, and my daughter)

Doc - work good?

me - high stress, too much politics.

       A few more questions, clearly establishing mental health and well-being.  Then:

Doc - alcohol?

me - *sigh*  Wine with dinner.  (and then just so she knows i'm not a total boozer) But only occasionally slip on the weekends and party.  (i left out the part about how trying to recover from hangovers at my age is just not worth it!)

Doc - (taking notes) exercise?

me - Um.  Well, i joined the gym at work!??

Doc - Ah.  But do you go ....

me - *sigh* no.

Doc - Well, your weight is good.  

me - It is!  i'm only about 15 lbs more than i was in my early 20's - that's not bad eh? Although it's all settled in my middle.

Doc - Well, the gym would take care of that ...

          Right-o.  Instant change of subject.  By this point we were at the blood/pressure, then physical exam part.  Eyes, throat, ears.  Check.  Lungs, reflexes. Check.  Breast examination.

Doc - Wait.  What are these little bruises?  (hairy eyeball at me)  And that one on your arm.

       Ut oh.  i forgot about the hot tub adventure.  And the marks were so faint i'd not even noticed them over the week.  We hadn't been playing with any toys - just a bit of spanking, so it all totally slipped my mind.  And i bruise if i sneeze wrong, anyway.

me - oh! those!  oh!  well Himself likes to hold them at night - practically in a death grip, when He's going to sleep.  (Not a lie.)  i'm kind of His teddy bear.  (Then i slip into the too-much-info mode - totally blathering, trying to get away from the topic)  YOU should see them in the morning sometimes!  There's even finger prints left over!

       Sigh.  i embarrass myself sometimes.  She just laughed and moved on. i told Himself later and He just shook His head at me.  Hey!  He shouldn't complain - at least now she knows He's still sexy and virile - even if He IS older than me.

       And likes girl teddy bears. *cheeky grin*
