Sleepless and I were talking about someone today, not in a bad way, just in a descriptive way; much like when one calls dispatch to report a crime and they ask for details about the suspect. Today, Sleepless was dispatch and I was the caller, “Short hair, kind of frumpy, comes alone.” I’m not sure why I added that last descriptor. One could say it just ‘came’ to me. Regardless, I plan to use it from this point forward when describing someone.
Later in the day, I was chatting with S-Unit. We were discussing health and some of the recommendations doctors give us when we are in various stages of recovery. S-Unit’s doctor has currently recommended that she refrain from exercise and sexual activity. “This should be easy because I haven’t done either for months,” S-Unit told me. She then told me about her aunt who was diagnosed with stomach cancer. “The procedure to remove the cancer took half the time because she has zero body fat. She is 70 years old and is super fit,” she said and added, “When I’m 70, I’m going to be ripped.” “It’s good to have long-term goals. I love aging. I like to tell people that I’m more hip than I’ve ever been. And when I say that, I mean I’m buying bigger jeans,” I replied. “Luckily I’ve got good jeans. I got them from my aunt and I think she got them from The Gap,” she replied. “When you’re 70, and ripped, you’ll look really good in them,” I said and added, “And when people ask about you I can say, ‘Kind of short, super fit, good jeans, comes alone.”
