If you've had your gallbladder out, don't think you can eat high fat foods for a week, (french fries, pepperoni pizza, bacon, chips, fried fish); you will have the mother of all stomach aches; it feels like a gallbladder attack.
Super models are people too. I've always admired Paulina Porizkova; she's beautiful, funny, classy, and had a successful 30 year marraige to a fellow celebrity. She popped up on my IG feed a couple of weeks ago, and I started following her. This morning she posted a photo of herself, and I love it. There are no fillers or botox, and her hair is greying. Paulina is 55, owning it, and she is still stunningly beautiful. She's also writes about being single and dating, and how she wants a romantic partner, someone to have shared experiences with. I feel that.
I was talking to my mom this morning about my five year old grandaughter, Brooke, who broke her leg four weeks ago. Despsite having a cast from ankle to hip, she manages to drag herself around the house, and even climbs up on Jessicas very high bed. She swings the broken leg up first, then muscles herself up using her arms. Brooke knows who she is, does what she wants, the way she wants, and doesn't need anyones help. I told my mom I wanted to be just like her. My mom answered me by saying, thats exactly how I was. That from birth I've been independent, doing what I want, my way, with no ones help; I never needed anyone, and that I've always been different. Those just might be the most insightful words she's ever imparted to me.
I enjoy being alone; but like Paulina, I want people to share experiences with. I've grown weary of going to breweries and restaurants by myself...and Im still looking for someone to go ziplining with me. This is what had me so down yesterday; not having a friend base here in Asheville.

Brooke got her walking cast yesterday.
