How would you like to HEAR THIS NEWS when your computer tells you your message may not have been received due to new UPDATES!I had written telling my doctor I was feeling better……she responded with her words and I needed to tell her the EYE EPISODES are still occurring even off the medication.

Can I tell YOU I FEEL SO LET DOWN AND ABUSED?

 SHE DID ANSWER AFTER FIVE DAYS we had a weekend in between AND SHE DIDNOT ANSWER TWO OF MY TWO QUESTIONS!

Going to have her ASSISTANT REACH OUT TO ME!

 MY HEALTH CARE CONTINUES……..STILL WITH FUNCTIONAL DOCTOR AND THAT IS GREAT!

 I found ALEX in a PARK IN San Francisco!

He arrived by BABY STROLLER with a FAN keeping him cool!

  His owners took him out and put him on the GRASS to HOP around!

He had a collar and a leash!

   I NEEDED A GOOD EXCUSE TO SIT DOWN AND THIS WAS IT!

 

  I WAS IN LOVE!

ALEX WAS HIS NAME AND THEY SAID HE WAS 20 pounds!

  Not even a year old.

 

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO HELP A PERSON AND IT BACK FIRES?

HAPPEN TO ME A FEW MONTHS AGO ON INSTAGRAM.OLDER WOMAN WHO LIVES ALONE SO NO KIDS CAN HELP HER WITH THE FINE DETAILS………….SHE HAD CHARMING PHOTOS WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE PERECT FOR THE COLLECTED LOOK MY BLOGGING BUDDIES DO!I explained how to do a hashtag #THECOLLECTEDLOOK……thinking she would get GREAT ENJOYMENT from seeing more photos similar to her decor!Plus more people to FOLLOW!

 GUESS I WAS WRONG!

SEEMS SHE TOOK MY INSTRUCTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS AND THOUGHT I WAS PATRONIZING HER WHICH WAS NOT MY INTENTION AT ALL!THE above was from her…………..My “BRAVA” was in reaction to the fact she did the HASHTAG with her collected look post.My”laughing” emojis were smiling faces………………….

SO MUCH FOR REACHING OUT AND TRYING TO HELP WITH THIS TECHY WORLD WE LIVE IN!

  I NEED TO KEEP MY IDEAS TO MYSELF!

I realize as we get OLDER we get more AGITATED?Is that the right word?I saw it happen with my own MOTHER…….

IT’s hard to TAKE when YOU MEAN WELL.Even my STEP MOTHER yelled at me recently for having the ITALIAN hang an ANTIQUE PORTRAIT TOO LOW!She wanted it HUNG in a room she never sits in!I thought I was helping her after her surgery by putting it in a room she “LIVES IN!”The reason I hung it LOW was so she could LOOK AT HIM AND HAVE TEA WITH HIM!

THE ITALIAN HAS HUNG IT NOW IN ANOTHER LOCATION………I have yet to go visit due to my health.

Once again I was trying to help an 87 year old enjoy Life a little bit more…………instead I made her SO MAD!

I KEEP HEARING I AM DIFFERENT…………..GUESS MY WAYS OF HELPING ARE DIFFERENT TOO!

DID I SHOW YOU THIS PHOTO?

CAN’T RECALL AND TOO LAZY TO GO LOOK!

HERE IS MY PET PIGGY GETTING A MANICURE/PEDICURE!

EMILY COMES EVERY FEW MONTHS TO FLIP BANKSY AND GIVE HIM SOME BEAUTY PERKS!

WE ADORE EMILY AND CONSIDER HER PART OF THE FAMILY!

She travels the STATES doing this MOST NEEDED SALON STUFF FOR THE FOUR LEGGED BEASTIES!

If you need her service or have questions just email me…..iolacontessa@gmail.com

I will put you in touch!

LIFE GOES ON THANK GOODNESS………………we had two couples for dinner recently.

That was NOVEL.

BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE HAD COMPANY!

  I had to find FLAT SPACE for ALL THE CRAP (GORGEOUS STUFF) I KEEP ON THE KITCHEN TABLE!

I HAD TO MOVE IT or WE COULD NOT SEE EACH OTHER!

  IT WAS TOO SMOKEY TO EAT OUTSIDE!

……….THE ITALIAN hasn’t said ANYTHING YET, but it all went to THE GARAGE and I’m NOT ALLOWED IN THERE

because He calls me THE GAS……….you see I take OVER any kind of SPACE!!!

Cleanest room in the HOUSE? THAT WOULD BE THE GARAGE!

MY MOTHER WAS A CLEAN FREAK AND SO IS THE ITALIAN………HIS MOTTO IS DO IT ONCE RIGHT!

MY MOTHER also told me to learn TO TYPE!

Did I listen?

NOPE!

HOW I wish I could type when doing these BLOG POSTS!

I am embarrassed to tell you HOW LONG THEY TAKE ME!

I say I am juggling way MORE than he is and cannot get item A to correct spot at that moment but know I will be going THAT way later in THE DAY!Plus, I have to conserve my energy to do that DINNER THING…………….at least HE is NOT eating PASTA EVERY NIGHT TO START THE MEAL!THOSE DAYS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN!

BETTY CONTINUES TO GROW.

On SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 2021 she is now 49 POUNDS!

  SHE continues to chew our shoes and carry my lacey bra around!

Over all she is a good calm dog.The biting has slowed down A LOT.

 

 THAT BRINGS ME to BRAS!

 

I cannot find one that fits right.Lately they hurt my ribcage or that part above it!

I have tried the YOUNG THING BRAS just a thin piece of material but THEY RIDE UP!

SO, next I tried a 38 circumference instead of 36……….STILL HURTS!

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I know I have a RETIRED BRA BUYER from NORDSTROMS OUT THERE READING!

CAN YOU CHIME IN PLEASE or Others?

  I have had them FIT ME and to be honest that was before they started hurting me; but they are YOUNG GALS AND I think have had a STOCKROOM CLASS AND THATS ABOUT IT for THE BRA KNOWLEDGE.

 BOOBS AND BRAS…………I NEED TO FIX THIS SITUATION!

 MY LATEST READ IS A BOOK ON BREATHING!I AM LOVING IT!MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO ME!

  DO you know we are only suppose to breath through OUR NOSES NOT OUR MOUTHS?

  DO you know a choir teacher figured this out years ago and ended up helping patients in hospitals with asmatha and other critical problems?SLOW DOWN THE BREATHING AND YOU CAN CURE A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS AND HAVE MORE ENERGY!I WILL READ TO THE END AND TRY TO FOLLOW SOME OF THE BREATHING PROTOCOL…….

CONTESSA RECOMMENDS THIS BOOK!

Try my little book shop FIRST !

IF they do not have off to your LITTLE BOOK SHOP otherwise, to AMAZON you GO!

  IT IS A FASCINATING READ.

He has done LOADS of RESEARCH and even been a GUIENA PIG AT STANFORD!

NOT BORING AS ONE WOULD THINK!

  PS. I learned that the skin inside OUR nostrils is the same as the skin on the TIP of a PENIS!

   BET YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT!!!!!!

 

ONWARDS TO THE FACE…………and if you are wondering what the HECK was going on with me in the FIRST PHOTO do not be ALARMED.I was being tested for SLEEP APNEA & SEIZURES.I had a delightful young man from South Africa wiring me up and monitoring me all night long!The wiring takes over an hour and they let you sleep in a cool room where I was FREEZING!I let MARTIN know I needed to GO PEE and had asked before he put me to bed HOW MANY WIRES WOULD HAVE TO BE UNDONE AND HIS ANSWER DELIGHTED ME!

ONLY TWO he said!

HE GAVE ME ANOTHER BLANKET!ONLY TO WAKE ME UP AT 5 AM to send me on my MERRY WAY without TEA OR COFFEE!

The RED BOTTLE above I had a sample which I took to that BEAUTIFUL wedding a few weeks ago to use as a moisturizer.

GOSH I LOVED IT AND COULD SEE A DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY!THAT NEVER HAPPENS!

I saved the sample and ordered a big bottle……….it has a light tint and I think an SPF, but my skin GLOWS when I wear it as a simple foundation!Easy to apply………I GIVE IT A TEN STAR RATING!YOU BETTER NOT BE LIKE ME (not listening to my mom) AND LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY!I of course DO NOT GET PAID FOR MY WISDOM!Just sharing my FINDINGS!

I STILL LOVE THE FIERA CONCEALER but use the KIEHL’S around the house.

Which brings me to THE END of my POST.I may take a LEAVE OF ABSENCE from the BLOG WORLD and EMAIL in GENERAL……WE ALL KNOW I am in NEED of NOTHING!

Definitely do NOT NEED anymore CAFTANS or make up advertisements in my inbox.The NEWS is TUFF RIGHT NOW and I do not NEED ANYMORE STRESS IN MY LIFE!I can NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE NOT TO BE VACCINATED!I FIND THAT A VERY SELFISH STANCE!DUMB IS MORE LIKE IT. MY PREFERRED WORD; BUT LETS BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!IF YOU are NOT VACCINATED I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!UNLESS, YOU HAVE A DAM GOOD REASON!

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND THOSE OF US WHO DO AS WE ARE TOLD TO BENEFIT THE WORLD ARE NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL AND GO OUT AS WE WOULD LIKE TOO AS YOU PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED YOU ARE SMARTER AND BRIGHTER THAN THE LEADING HEALTH AUTHORITIES!I BET YOU DIDNOT GO TO SCHOOL AS LONG AS THEY DID; NOR HAVE THE GRADES!(I have heard from MY LUNG DOCTOR that my hospital constantly has 50 covid patients at all times minimum!)SO, that SNEAKY BIG VIRUS IS LURCHING AROUND MY PARTS…… TO CLOSE TO ME!

THEY WIPED OUT POLIO AND SMALL POX…………….and just think THEY DIDNOT HAVE THE INTERNET BACK IN THE DAY nor GOOGLE OR A CELL PHONE!

LOOK AT THE SPEED IN WHICH THEY GAVE US A VACCINE!

LOOK AT THOSE RESULTS AND STEPS FORWARD!

OFF MY SOAPBOX AND ON TO MY CLOSURE HERE.

I NEED A BREAK BOTTOM LINE.I NEED TO FIND MY JOY AS IT HAS ESCAPED ME FOR MONTHS NOW.

I NEED TO GO OUT INTO THE GARDEN WITH MY CUP OF COFFEE.

INSTEAD OF SITTING HERE STARING AT A BIG WIDE SCREEN ALL MORNING!

I NEED TO START WALKING…………….with BETTY!

I NEED TO START THE CLEAN OUT AND ORGANIZATION OF FAMILY STUFF.

BOTTOM LINE I NEED A VACATION from LIFE as we live it today and since I cannot go anywhere

(I read the Governor has asked no one to travel to the STATE of HAWAII and yesterday they evacuated South Lake Tahoe!)

I will CREATE MY OWN LITTLE OASIS!

HOPEFULLY, I WILL TAKE A SHORT BREAK if they haven’t CHANGED TOO MUCH IN THE TECHNICAL WORLD I CAN RE-ENTER SUCCESSFULLY………..

I received some NEWS about that HEAD SCAN UP TOP TODAY after two weeks of waiting……….

I am a bit HAPPY and SAD!Finally after FIVE years of writing down my EPISODES (I lose my vision and feel faint) and seeing DOCTOR after DOCTOR they have SPOTTED FIREWORKS going off in my head that MAY EXPLAIN my episodes!Four MRI’s of the BRAIN over the last five years didNOT pick this up!These FIREWORKS as I call them are the precursor’s to SEIZURES in what this NEUROLOGIST is calling EPILEPSY.YES, you heard me CORRECTLY!

I under went HEART VALUE REPAIR 2010.They had to turn my HEART OFF!

Found out I had LADY WINDERMERE or Mycobacterium Avian Complex better known as MAC in 2020 and had to GIVE AWAY MY CHICKENS and ONE DOVE and NOW EPILEPSY!

BOY, I SURE DIDNOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!

I WILL KEEP PLUGGING ALONG AS WE HAVE SO MUCH TO SHARE AND TALK ABOUT probably in the NEW YEAR.

I WILL POST AN AGELESS STYLE AT THE END of September AS I HAVE ANOTHER GOOD ONE FOR YOU!BUT THEY ARE ALL GOOD AND ITS SO FUN TO MEET NEW PEOPLE!

BE WELL……READ…….CALL FRIENDS AND CHIT CHAT!ENJOY THE FALL COLORS!

I NEED TIME TO DIGEST THIS NEW INFORMATION AND FIND MY JOIE DE VIVRE once AGAIN!

I’ll come back a little MORE ECCENTRIC and hopefully BREATHING THROUGH MY NOSE!
