Old skin

I know that wrinkles come with age but I was hoping I would one of the lucky ones who don’t look their age. But my skin is starting to let the world know that I’m old and I’m not happy about it. I would really like to find some anti aging products that work but I just don’t know where to begin.

Plastic surgery is out of the question. I don’t want to end up like I’m wearing a mask. I also can’t afford surgery and I know the insurance won’t pay for it. I used to have such beautiful skin and I miss it. I look in the mirror and don’t like what I see. My hair is thinner now too. It used to be thicker than what it is now and I really miss that. If I put my hair in a pony tail it looks more like a rats tail because it’s so thin.

I guess I’m just going to have to get over myself and just deal with it.

I feel old

After the events of the past week I feel so old and beat up… Not bad enough to apply for social security disability though.

I got a new host and they helped me get all my files moved over to them. The name servers have been changed and have propagated by this morning. Hosting with the old company has been canceled (well a ticket was put in anyway).

I love my new host (Hawk Host), so far, people (including the CEO) were so helpful and got me all situated in my “new home”.

No I’m not talking about the moon. I’m talking about the wrinkles on my face that seemed to have popped up overnight! I don’t think any kind of wrinkle cream will help the deep lines that keep appearing on my face.

Yeah, I know I’m getting older and it’s to be expected but… I want them to go away. I want my young skin back. I also started getting “old people” skin on my arms and I absolutely hate it! I won’t wear short sleeved shirts anymore because I hate how the skin on my arms look.

Anyone know where to find the fountain of youth that really works?

I did it all by myself!

Just before I moved into my condo my landlord “recaulked” my shower in the master bathroom. What he actually did was put a light coat of caulk over the nasty, moldy caulk that was already there. I went out and bought the Pro Caulk that you see advertised on TV. It worked pretty good except the tool they give you to remove the caulk doesn’t work all that well. I used a flat head screwdriver instead.

I removed my shower doors and got busy scraping out the old caulk. The landlord had smeared it half way up the bottom tiles and it was like performing microdermabrasion to get it all off but I got it all. He had even caulked the inside of the tracks for the door and in the process blocked some of the drain holes. I removed all of that using steel wool pads. After a couple of breaks I finished up the removal then cleaned the area good and let it dry. After the shower was dry I tackled the caulk. It was easier than I thought it would be. The tools to smooth the caulk worked perfectly.

Tomorrow, after the caulk is completely dry, I’ll give the shower and the doors a good cleaning. It will be easier to clean the doors with them off of the shower. That shower looks so much better already!

Gone!

Ok… I did it. I changed themes and sent the old theme packing off to take some luxury vacations and not come back. It was really beginning to make me really mad when I’d come to my blog.

That theme made the blog look cluttered and like it was shrinking. At least, for the moment, I really like this theme. I just spent the better part of the last hour finding a theme and getting it ready to go live. I still have just a couple more things to add now that it’s live and it will be all set.

What do you think? Does it pass muster?
